Review on ALPINE SWE-815 by Micha Mitrut ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

I put it in the Seat Altea Freetrack (the noise in the cabin was made everywhere except for the ceiling and pillars), there is a double trunk and I often use the whole space as a station wagon, so the task was to put a sub: - small (to take up less space) - not heavy (so that it does not break the shelf and you can rearrange it to another corner of the trunk or even remove it without straining) - playing back clearly and pleasantly perceptible b with a minimum of echo (I don't need headlights and mirrors to shake or have a mager in the chair. ). - and so that it can be easily and quickly removed - built-in amplifier The remote control comes with a bright LED, apparently to make it easier to find in the dark. But if it hurts your eyes, you can just cover it gently with electrical tape. Of course, it was possible to make a wireless remote control, and by the way, Alpine makes such subs with a remote control, but only large or super compact, which have a different pricing policy and also play differently Where he put it, it sits firmly there (it stands on a rubber mat! ) Favorite genres of music: Chill & Dub. I think that it plays decently, the main thing is to select the desired filter parameter through the remote control so that it does not buzz on some tracks (usually I set it in the range of 70-100 Hz, but this is a matter of taste and quality of the track). If anyone needs a sub to buzz like a steam locomotive and gouge so that the gl of a neighboring car cracks, then definitely don’t consider 8 "subs with built-in amplifiers. Look for higher than 12" with a separate amp with a power of at least 300W

Pros
  • 1. External control panel (but on a wire! 3.5 meters). Which is very convenient when you constantly change the genre of music or the sub interferes with another driver and you don’t need to climb into the trunk . ; 2. A speaker with a double winding, so quickly, clearly and surprisingly deep (I thought it wouldn’t happen) wins back b and, most importantly, a minimum of echo (well, this is what 8 "are famous for)
Cons
  • If you compare only with other 8 "subs, then there are no minuses
