What is the main difference between the Alpine SWR-1042D and the SWX-1042D besides the price, I have heard alot of good things about the SWR.

Also would the MRD-M1005 be enough to power 2 of these.

 

Power handling.

A 1005 would be a good match on a pair of the SWR10's but I would give the SWX10's more power.

 

If I wanted good sound quality though which ones would you guys go with.

 

The Type X is a good sounding driver but for the same money I would rather go with a IDMax or OZ ME which are better sounding and performing drivers IMO. Or an IDQ if you are running less power and are on a budget.

 

have you used all three in a optimum enclosure with adequate power in the same vehicle, i ask because im interested to know how you came to your conclusions on to what was the best

 

ps:I ran a type-x 10 with a 350w amp....sounded great for everyday driving!

 

I have two typr R 12's in a dual chambered sealed box to Alpine specs powered by 1200 watts at 1ohm...and it sounds very good, tight, clean, more than enough output for daily use...and I still have most of my trunk. I don't think you would be dissapointed if they're properly set up.
