I purchased this amp on Feb 19th, I got it on Feb the 22nd no hassles, gimics, or long wait. When i got this amp it took me all of 30 mins to hook it up to my new 2 12" MTX JH55 Jackhammer Subwoofers. At first i had a cheap amp pushing these subs, it was a SPX Audio Pro 400 watt amp. It was pushing half the power that the subs put out together which is 800 watts RMS, Until the amp overheated and the power supply was shot on the circut board. The Birth Sheet for this amp says it puts out (850 watts x1 at 2ohms). The product details says 800 watts, But the way this amp makes my subs sound is just RIDICULOUS!!! I HAVE TO LITERASLLLY TURN IT DOWN EVERYWHERE I GO! So if you want a Damn Good amp for a great price i would reccomend this amp to anyone..... P.S. NOT FOR SENSITIVE EARS!! Thanks!!!

I have this amp hooked up in my car to two Kenwood Subs that run 400 watts RMS apiece (4ohms), this amp easily lives up to the lofty Planet Audio standards, and is very easy to configure yourself. If you are looking for quality, this monoblock is it. This is by far a product that lives up to its specs. I would recommend getting 4 gauge cable to hook it up to the battery with, as anything smaller will cause a voltage drop that won't sound good at all. Make sure your alt can handle the power this amp requires, if you have a smaller car, you may need to think about an upgrade if you haven't already. It will run fine with stock, but if you don't want your lights to dim at night you'll need to think about it. It's just about impossible to go wrong with this brand of amp, you'll not find a better product on the market.
This is very deserving of five stars and I'd give it more if I could.

Alpine SPX 17PRO - Car speaker - 100 Watt - 2-way - component Review

The reviews I read about this speaker had me believing I would be transported to a sonic utopia where I sit on a velvet listening chair and have beer served to me from a diamond encrusted, platinum tray by a bikini clad Katy Perry, in open-toe stiletto heels. Needless to say, that did not happen. I was initially disappointed in the speakers sound, and after trying everything, decided to remove the factory grills that covered them. Presto. PRES-TO. Night and day difference. Those inferior factory grills were blocking much of the sound.
These have a detailed, realistic sound, albeit a bit on the bright side (I believe the vast majority of automotive tweeters are made this way purposefully ). The woofer however, seems to lag behind the tweeter in refinement. There isn't much bass in it, and while 6.5 inch components aren't meant to produce bass, it could stand to use a little more oomph in this department.
These crossovers are a thing of beauty,( unfortunately the Bozos I hired to install this stuff took the easiest route possible for themselves and placed them in a hidden locations)They have actual heat sinks in them much like a small amplifier, and high quality parts throughout. I haven't adjusted them yet, due to the difficulty in accessing them.Pros: Really neat looking crossovers that look like small amplifiers. There is enough metal and capacitors in them to give an electronics nerd multiple orgasms. The tweeters sound terrific.
Cons: A bit pricey, woofer doesn't sound as refined as tweets.

I do Professional sound competitions & started out w/ the original type R & was impressed in every aspect/ I then upgrade to the newer ones & was even more impressed. I had 4 of these & ran over 1,000 watts RMS to each one on a continuous basis & never heard any distortion & never blew em'. I did however have minimal Voice-coil burning closer to 1500 watts, but they still held like champs! If you want an amazing sounding system, but don't want to spend a fortune save your money from a more expensive sub & put it towards a better amp, because these subs can take it!

Alpine's type X subs are much more powerful than the type R's
I've had the same 2 swx-1043D's in 3 different cars they have been in 3 different boxes and no matter what they always make your hair move in the cabin. I currently have them powered by a 3600 watt boss mono block class d amplifier with a 2 farad cap. These will be the best subs that you can buy for the money, by far.

I have these installed in my 1998 Honda Civic coupe. I have an Alpine head unit and an Alpine MRP F300 amp that sends 50 watts RMS to these speakers which I have installed in the front doors. I don't have a sub-woofer so these and a pair of Alpine SPR 69C 6x9's make up my car audio system. I've had Pioneer and Rockford Fosgate components in other vehicles and I am very pleased with these for the price. I purchased them at Dealer Cost Car Audio dot com, with no tax and free shipping for $176, there was also a $20 coupon online which made the price great. With components like these the high's and mid's are perfect. My car is older and its a Honda so the road noise is pretty loud at 70 MPH, these help me forget about the road noise during my commute. If you think component speakers like these will add solid low end bass, you are wrong. The low end sound is good but not near sub-woofer good, if you want booming base get a sub. I rock out with hard rock and get G'd up from the feet up with hip hop and these speakers perform better than I expected. I would recommend these to anyone who wants a quality pair of component speakers who enjoy listening to any song's full dynamic range. There are cheaper speaker out there, but in my opinion Alpine's quality is awesome and these are worth the price.

The SPX-17REF 6.5-inch component 2-way speaker and the SPX-13REF 5.25-inch component 2-way speaker combine premium sound with an easy-to-install design. The Type-X Reference speakers come with a tweeter mounting bridge that allows users to turn the component system into a coaxial system, for greater installation flexibility.

These speakers are awesome! They have excellent clarity. I have them installed in an S10 with Alpine Type S 4x6 speakers in the dash, two 12 inch subwoofers behind the seats, and an Alpine IDA-x001 head unit. I have passive crossovers installed on these speakers, so I can't comment on the bass response of these speakers, but the mids and highs are excellent. I have them powered by the in-deck amplifier, and these speakers could certainly handle more power than is being supplied. An external amplifier would probably be a good choice with these these speakers, but it is not necessary. They sound loud and clear just the way they are. They sound better than several component speaker systems that I have heard in the past, and I would definitely recommend these speakers to anyone wishing to upgrade their sound system.

Bazooka BTA10250D BT Series 10-Inch 250-Watt Class D Amplified Tube Review

Average Reviews:

I cannot put into words how much this thing surpassed my expectations. I have had smaller and less powerful bass tubes before so I expected something like those. This thing really does such a good job that people think I have a box with a couple of 12's in the trunk.
I actually had a much higher end system priced out and was almost ready to pull the trigger, but I'm trying to save money (and space and weight in the car) so I begun looking into these. I like the fact that it is removeable if I want the entire trunk space available.
The sound is awesome and unexpected for this size of sub/enclosure/power. It sounds great down to 30 hz which is my sweet spot in base. I highly recommend getting the remote for better control of the bass from the drivers seat. It does not have a bass boost centered around a certain frequency like they normally do, but rather a level control (like an amp gain adjust) and a low pass crossover control. Both are handy when you have a song with lots of bass that you need to turn it down or a song with higher bass that you need to adjust the crossover.
Normally when I'm by myself or with one passenger I do leave the seatback down that is directly in front of the tube. It looks nice plus it sounds better. I did tests at 30/40 hz and there is a 3.5 Db loss in sound level when I close up the rear seat so I prefer it down. They recommend that you "corner load" the sub but honestly I prefer to have it facing forward. The way I have it mounted I can switch it around easily if I want to anyway. During install make sure you leave plenty of extra length to all the cables (RCA, turn on, power, ground, remote) so that you can move it around if you ever want/need to. I hid all the extra cable under the rear carpet for a clean looking install.

Introducing Bazooka's first ever Class D amplified tubes. With 250 watts of pure digital power and optional speaker level outputs, these new Amplified Tubes are their most powerful and best sounding yet.

BT Amplified Bass Tubes The new amplified Bazooka subwoofers feature the legendary patented Bass Tubes enclosure design, but with a twist. These units are completely self-contained bass monsters. Available in 100-Watt BTL or 250-Watt Class D amplifier configurations, the new amplified Bazooka subwoofers are the true solution to the common automobile interior problem of "not enough space for bass."
A Bazooka subwoofer adds the bass, clarity, and realism that your system is missing with absolutely no modifications to your car, its warranty, or its original audio system. If you are leasing your car, there is no better way to upgrade your stereo system than by adding a Bazooka subwoofer.
The BTA10250D The BTA10250D features an eight-inch dual voice coil subwoofer. As with all Bazooka Bass Tubes enclosures, it's optimized for corner loading. The Bass Tubes enclosure's port and woofer are on the same plane and in close proximity for maximum corner-loading results. And, just like a megaphone amplifies a cheerleader's voice, the corner of your car amplifies the concentrated bass output of the Bass Tubes enclosure.
BTA10250D Features
Grill The grill is both decorative and protective, preventing the Subwoofer from accidental damage from other items, such as golf clubs, groceries or book bags that might be tossed into the cargo area where the Bazooka Woofers are typically mounted.
Woofer Bazooka's highly efficent, customized woofers are specifically designed and reinforced for use in the Bazooka Bass Tubes enclosure, producing a pure piston action and generating the maximum bass output possible.
Edge Roll All Bazooka Woofers used in Bass Tubes enclosures feature large, high excursion, lightweight foam edge rolls to maximize their efficiency and overall bass output.
Tube Enclosure A tube is a natural pressure vessel, and Bass is about pressure. The patented Bass Tubes enclosure creates a natural, uniform, hydraulic transfer of the Bass energy produced by the woofer.
Port The port opening between the Tube Enclosure and the Port Tube allows for efficient transfer of bass. Bass Tubes enclosures utilize "Bass Reflex" technology to take advantage of both the forward and backward of the woofer, wasting no bass energy.
Port Tube The bass energy created by both the forward and backward motion of the woofer are time aligned so that 100% of the woofer's output is concentrated into one output point.
Acoustic Damping Fiber The acoustic damping material helps lower the resonance of the enclosure and simulates an increased air space.
Integrated Amplifier The integrated amplifiers are performance matched to the specific woofers used in Bass Tubes enclosures to ensure that every watt of power is efficiently turned into bass performance. Having the amplifier integrated into the enclosure simplifies installation and eliminates power loss.
Corner Loading Bass Tubes enclosures are specifically designed to take advantage of the natural amplification characteristics that occur when a subwoofer is placed into the corner of a vehicle. The corner acts like a megaphone, substantially increasing bass performance.

Double Down While this single Amplified Tube will surely deliver the goods, if just want more bass, simply connect a Passive Tube (sold separately) to the optional speaker level output and double your bass output.
Easy Install The BTA10250D comes with straps to keep the sub securely mounted, while still making removal quick and easy if you need even more cargo room. Optional Chrome-Plated UMS Brackets give a flashier look, as well as a more secure, permanent mounting when removal isn't a problem.

I installed the AMP myself and tested it. I seems to work great. The sound is so much better. I like my music loud and I can only turn it up to 1/2 volume. I have not really done anything other than test the unit in my garage as it is too cold to ride right now. Will have to see how it performs on the road. I need a year of riding to give a good review.
