Alpine SWD-1600 Car Subwoofer

I decied to get an active sub with a built in amp like this one as i couldnt be bothered with buying a separate sub, amp, box, and then trailing wires through the whole car.

So i installed the sub under the front passenger seat, at first i thought it sounded rubbish but you need to play about with the low pass filter knob and slowly turn the gain up. i then had a little play with the sub settings on the headunit. make sure its set for mono not stereo for the sub. and i turned the sub setting onto the highest one on the headunit.

The sub doesnt make your hair shake like a good 10 or 12 inch sub but it just adds a nice bit of mid range bass that my car was lacking. so far i have an alpine 9833r headunit the alpine sub and some infinity 6x9's that were already in the car and i will be fitting some alpine type x components next week into my front door cards which should give me a decent setup.

The sub is very easy to fit. all you have to do is run one wire to the +ve battery terminal, connect a ground (i used a passenger seat mount) connect the remote on and the two phone cables to your headunit and thats it! then fix the sub to your chosen locatoin.

Hope this helps and answers anyones queestions
