|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1197 Registered: Nov-05 | the technical details say that its a type E but the product details say that its a type x i think its actualy a type x that is being advertised..they messed up big timeee |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1855 Registered: Oct-05 | yea. you could buy it and then if they give ya the e's you can say it was false advertising and get the x's. |
|
Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 172 Registered: Apr-06 | bump... someone order that and see if you get the type x. |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1865 Registered: Oct-05 | lol. i kno |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1866 Registered: Oct-05 | they will have to give you the x's |
|
Silver Member Username: Rick_rossPost Number: 151 Registered: May-06 | it says the model is Model: SWE-1242 and thats the type e so they probly gonna send u that |
|
Silver Member Username: Rick_rossPost Number: 152 Registered: May-06 | oh he already said that lol |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1198 Registered: Nov-05 | no...i really think thay will give you the type x when i get home i will do it..so tommorow night i will order it |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1199 Registered: Nov-05 | also....there are only two things that say its a type e... there are more that point to the type x....also the shipping weight was calculated to 35 pounds....thats a type x |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 130 Registered: Sep-05 | so ur gettign a 300$ speaker for 90$???? lemme kno if it works. |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1200 Registered: Nov-05 | well yea for sure i will try it because if they send me a type E...i will just send it right back |
|
Silver Member Username: Andysd03Post Number: 212 Registered: Jan-06 | iam sure its the type e i doubt they are too dumb to put a type X for $90 lol but if they did send u the type E u can claim for false advertising and they would have to send u the type X cause legally a company cannot false advertise. They prob try to say o its a mistake we made a mistake we give u no type X lol! |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1204 Registered: Nov-05 | i really think its a type x they say that its 35 pounds..they say the model number... whatever its worth a try |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1205 Registered: Nov-05 | and another thing.....they probably have no clue about subwoofers... |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1206 Registered: Nov-05 | and another thing.....they probably have no clue about subwoofers...all they see is the model numbers |
|
Silver Member Username: Andysd03Post Number: 214 Registered: Jan-06 | o ya it also says 32 HZ freq response and 87 DB sensitivity when really the type X is 23 HZ freq and only 81 DB sensitivity so 32hz is specs of type E and same with the 87db |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1207 Registered: Nov-05 | oh damit |
|
Silver Member Username: Andysd03Post Number: 215 Registered: Jan-06 | u can try though and claim for false advetising and if they dont give u the X tell them u want the E for free for false advertising then u got a free sub |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1208 Registered: Nov-05 | but thats where it also says the model number for the type E...all the info under tech details is for the type E and the pic is a type E the main description is type x the product details = type x the product description = type x and when you actualy order it....it says "Alpine Type-X SWX-1242D - Car subwoofer driver - 1000 Watt - 12"" so when the person who gets the order...who has no idea about subs sees that its an alpine type x swx 1242d they will ship that sub...and not the E i think this will work!! |
|
Silver Member Username: Andysd03Post Number: 216 Registered: Jan-06 | try it out and if they ship u the type E do what i said claim for false advertising and rather get them to send u a type X or give u the E for free so in this situation u couldnt lose lol |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1211 Registered: Nov-05 | yea for sure...good idea |
|
Silver Member Username: Andysd03Post Number: 217 Registered: Jan-06 | the only thing that might make the person who does the orders a little questiony is when he sees the price 90$ for a type X he might think thats a little odd but if he overlooked the price never looked at it close enough ud get lucky and have an X |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1212 Registered: Nov-05 | but what makes u think he will know what a type x is? |
|
Silver Member Username: Andysd03Post Number: 218 Registered: Jan-06 | igueess |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1213 Registered: Nov-05 | well we will see what happens....i really hope idont get a type E |
|
Silver Member Username: GangstafertJacksonville, Florida USA Post Number: 181 Registered: May-06 | somebody order the thing |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1215 Registered: Nov-05 | i will tommorow |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1216 Registered: Nov-05 | i dont know how other people are not interested in this....i mean the woprst that can happen is that you get a type E and return it |
|
Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 173 Registered: Apr-06 | two of those, for about $200, the orion 2500d (wcc 5000d) off enay for $500, nice system for $700 bucks... |
|

|
Gold Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 1091 Registered: Apr-05 | I just ordered 2, I guess I will have to see what happens. I am kinda leary though becuase if you look at Car Toys feedback, it is pretty bad. Either way, they will give me a good deal, I'll make sure of that! >  |
|
Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 175 Registered: Apr-06 | I ordered my four... yes...... |
|
Silver Member Username: Andysd03Post Number: 219 Registered: Jan-06 | id laugh my a*ss off if all you guys got type E's lol |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1218 Registered: Nov-05 | well... i ordered mine just now.... but what are we all gonna tell them if we get type E's i mean on the receipt that i printed, it says NOTHNG about a type E....so i think we will all get type X's haha..but what if we dont?? if amazon gets a bunch of complaints about people getting the wrong sub, at the SAME time..i doubt they will send out all of the type X's.... |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1219 Registered: Nov-05 | well i think we will get the X's bc this was in my confirmation email (J1 "Alpine Type-X SWX-1242D - Car subwoofer driver - 1000 Watt - 12""(B (JElectronics; $89.99(B so we really did all technicaly order type X's, and that is what amazon will see, and ship |
|
Silver Member Username: GangstafertJacksonville, Florida USA Post Number: 187 Registered: May-06 | man im seriously thinkin about buying two but i am kinda scared to... |
|
Silver Member Username: GangstafertJacksonville, Florida USA Post Number: 188 Registered: May-06 | Well i just ordered two i seriously hope i get the type x's. If not they have to give a refund dont they? |
|
Silver Member Username: Andysd03Post Number: 224 Registered: Jan-06 | well they did have false advertising a company lelgally canot have false advertising u could prob sue them if they shipped u the type E without givin u a deal or somethn at least for lyin to you if u didnt get the X |
|
Bronze Member Username: KravenbloodOhio Post Number: 63 Registered: Aug-05 | does the web site say anywhere in the tems and service etc that they are not responsible for typigraphical error (typeing error) if it does and you get a type e your sh!t out of luck . probably could get money back if you send it back depends on the sites conditions |
|
Bronze Member Username: Sweet_subsMemphis, Michigan Usa Post Number: 69 Registered: May-06 | did any one get the subs yet if you get a type x im gunna order one but i dont want a type e |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 144 Registered: Sep-05 | how long has that item( calling it an item becuz dont kno if its e or x) been on amazon??? dont u think they would have fixed it after somebody reported it being wrong? IF its wrong, it could be a type x, even though its WAY under priced... |
|
Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 176 Registered: Apr-06 | its listed as the same price as the type e so most likely they got confused. too bad for them it will cost them about $600 dollars from the 4 I ordered (payed them $400, sell for $1000) this is what my receipt says: 4 of: Alpine Type-X SWX-1242D - Car subwoofer driver - 1000 Watt - 12" |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 147 Registered: Sep-05 | im REALLY about to order one.... thats crazy as hell ur making 600$ off a typo or misunderstanding.... now if they do send u type es then how do u go about fighting them and getting type xs... id imagine it has to be very rough to fight and get your way. |
|
Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 178 Registered: Apr-06 | i will call customer service and argue for the x's... the worst thing that could happen is that they send the e's and i return them free of shipping charges... and i break even. or I get the 4 type x's, sell them and order 4 more. |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1221 Registered: Nov-05 | DO NOT call them yet then they would just not send out the X's to all of us that have ordered the only time that anyone should call them is if a type E is sent |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 148 Registered: Sep-05 | http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/?ie=UTF8&search-alias=electro nics-aps&field-brandtextbin=Alpine on this page look at the bottom for the link and it says only 1 new and 1 used from 89.99, does that mean they only have 2 of the subs? |
|
Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 182 Registered: Apr-06 | im saying thats what i will do if I get the Type E's................ of course I wont call them until anfter I get the type e's if I get the type e's |
|
Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 183 Registered: Apr-06 | no that means there is one seller for new and one seller for used, the used is probably only 1 but the new can be more than one... |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1222 Registered: Nov-05 | haha okay good...just making sure nate and rick....that does not mean they only have 1 bc they have already shipped both of mine.. |
|
Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 184 Registered: Apr-06 | i hope this works i need some money... |
|
Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 185 Registered: Apr-06 | blaine your on top of this... cable connection??? I plan on keeping two of these and running them off of an wcc 5000d |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1223 Registered: Nov-05 | yep...cable and i plan on doin the same thing...with the wcc 5000d and look at this.. i ordered them in two separate orders and here is what the first confirmation of the shipped sub email said We're writing to confirm your purchase of the following item from Car Toys: 1 of Alpine Type-X SWX-1242D - Car subwoofer driver - 1000 Watt - 12" (available to ship by 29-June-2006)\ and Here's your receipt. --------------------------------------------------- Date: 26-June-2006 Amazon Order #: __________ 1 of Alpine Type-X SWX-1242D - Car subwoofer driver - 1000 Watt - 12", $89.99 Shipping & Handling: $4.99 Tax: Total: $94.98 Buyer: blainejwest@gmail.com Paid via Amazon Payments Using: bank account Your Shipping Address: so technically we bought type x's so they HAVE to send us them |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1224 Registered: Nov-05 | even though it said available to ship on the 29th..it was shipped this morning |
|
Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 188 Registered: Apr-06 | when did you order blaine? |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1225 Registered: Nov-05 | TO EVERYONE: DO NOT TELL AMAZON THAT THEY MESSED UP THE WEB PAGE IF YOU GET A TYPE E...JUST SIMPLY SAY, I ORDERED A TYPE X AND YOU SENT A TYPE E, I WOULD LIKE MY TYPE X |
|
Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 189 Registered: Apr-06 | never mind... missed the huge receipt post... |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1226 Registered: Nov-05 | last night |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 149 Registered: Sep-05 | thats flippen crazy... i think im gona order some only thing is i only got 200$ to my name =\ |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1227 Registered: Nov-05 | there is no tax on them...and shipping is 5 bucks and if they are type e's return em you got nothin to lose |
|
Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 190 Registered: Apr-06 | ebay will be floodeed with these if they are x's |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 150 Registered: Sep-05 | and how much do these sell for... on aplines home page 500$ lol but i see soem for 250. i guess ur rite the only thing i got to loose is them holding my money for a week. theres 2 perspectives to look at ours... on the receipt it does techinically say ur getting a type x, but if u know enough about car audio you would realize thats an outrages price for a type x. and theirs... if you think about it just on this forum theres somewhere around 10 type xs being ordered for 100$ thats $1500 that they would loose out on if they did give everyone a type x rather than an E... |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1228 Registered: Nov-05 | if these are type x's...i will tell my dad, he will seriously buy 20 and sell them all haha right now im not going to tell him becuase i am absolutly not alowed to buy any more sound system stuff hahah but if they are type x's he will be so happy and go crazy and buy a ton |
|
Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 192 Registered: Apr-06 | ya and car toys may not even notice this small mistake by some underpayed corporate slave typing information about car audio on a webpage for $8.00 an hour... |
|
Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 193 Registered: Apr-06 | if they are x's I will buy 8 more... |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1229 Registered: Nov-05 | well....i do agree with you rick but if a company makes a mistake in the customers favor, it is still the companies mistake. i think, legally, they cannot give us type E's. |
|
Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 194 Registered: Apr-06 | ya they will probably go bankrupt form this mistake... |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1231 Registered: Nov-05 | but think about it car audio gets marked up more than anything else for example circuit city buys some of the car audio for one tenth of the price that they sell it for and that is a VERY good thing for our situation because they wont lose too much money |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 151 Registered: Sep-05 | ya i agree its obviously a mistake and it should be adressed, but i doubt you guys will b able to order anymore after you receive these, IF they are Xs |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1232 Registered: Nov-05 | that is.....if they catch the mistake |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 152 Registered: Sep-05 | ya blaine thats true... well i think bestbuy sells 45% over what they get it for... becuase workers get 5% overcost and someone said it equals out to b 40% off |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 153 Registered: Sep-05 | im goign to start takin pictures of the website stating there sellign type x for 89.99 cuz wat if they deny that was liek that? |
|
Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 198 Registered: Apr-06 | 62% buy the item featured on this page: Alpine Type-X SWX-1242D - Car subwoofer driver - 1000 Watt - 12" $89.99 22% buy Alpine V-Power MRP-M650 - Amplifier - 1-channel $299.99 14% buy Clarion VRX765VD In-dash DVD player with 7" video screen $999.99 2% buy Alpine MRP-F240 V-Power Car Amplifier $199.95 |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1233 Registered: Nov-05 | at circuitcity when i workded there....i got 80% off infinity and 75% off kicker.....too bad i didnt have any money at the time but rick, i have receipts, i printed them and saved all the email so i do have proof...but taking a picture would be good to |
|
Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 200 Registered: Apr-06 | on my order is specifically says four type x's so thats what I expect to get... 60% order these... |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1234 Registered: Nov-05 | IF we get type E's, it would not be a good idea to use the website towards you argument, becase it has an actual pic, and some info about the type E it would be better to use your confirmation emails, invoices, and reciepts for your argument bc they say NOTHING about the type E use the actual web page as a last resort |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 154 Registered: Sep-05 | Date first available at Amazon.com: December 7, 2005 this has been there for almsot 7 months . . . . . . that means either its type es or it means they must like givign away free money. |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1235 Registered: Nov-05 | but who buys car audio from amazon,,,, not to many peeople i bet |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 155 Registered: Sep-05 | ya, most of amazons pictures are "false" reveiling the wrong item... |
|
Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 201 Registered: Apr-06 | ebay is too popular |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 156 Registered: Sep-05 | saying that....amazon is SAFE rite??? did anyoen ever order from there, here? |
|
Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 202 Registered: Apr-06 | amazon is big on books and stuff, yes its very safe... like ebay |
|
Gold Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 1098 Registered: Apr-05 | Hey blaine, did you actually get a confirmation e-mail saying that your subs were shipped? Becuase I haven't got one yet. |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 157 Registered: Sep-05 | wat mdoel of type x are they refering to... 05 rite? is 06 out yet? |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 158 Registered: Sep-05 | because if type x is only a 06 model, or is the 06 model then theres no chance in hell that you could receive a type x because this product been otu since december 05(unless they release the following year or models early) |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1239 Registered: Nov-05 | isaac i actualy did not get an email taht stated that they were shipped. it just confirmed my order, but on the amazon website it says that they have been shipped |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1240 Registered: Nov-05 | no...the type x has been around long enough...they have not updated it..theres only one model |
|
Gold Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 1099 Registered: Apr-05 | Yeah I wish they would give us a UPS tracking number, then we would know FOR SURE what subs we would be getting. All you would have to do is look at the shipping weight. So if it is too light, you could start coming up with your argument! lol |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 160 Registered: Sep-05 | o ok... well im just trying to figure out all the possabilitys... ive notices somethign else... on the next page( i think 2) there are some type Es 10" ... why would they carey 10" and not 12"... so that gives that another chance for them to be Es nto Xs :\ |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1241 Registered: Nov-05 | the shipping weight was calculated to 35 pounds.. thats a type x |
|
Gold Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 1100 Registered: Apr-05 | BTW, for everyone that ordered. Car toys can't even argue that the picture is of a Type E anyway. Because it would still be false advertising becuase they have a picture of a 10" type e. In any case they are going to lose... HAHA K.O. BABY! |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1242 Registered: Nov-05 | hahahah i noticed that same thing but dont even worry about the few facts on the website that point to a type E bc in al the confirmations and studff EVERYTHING points to a type X |
|
Silver Member Username: QuigPittsburgh, Pa Us Post Number: 161 Registered: Sep-05 | http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000815B6E type x 10" 194.00$....................... |
|
Gold Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 1244 Registered: Nov-05 | i saw that too but it doesnt change the fact that they messed up the other one |
|
Silver Member Username: Usask8er1Appleton, Wisconsin USA Post Number: 290 Registered: Jun-05 | Hope yall are right cuase i just ordered two more lol. Well as i was typing this i got my confirmation and here all it states for the subwoofer 2 "Alpine Type-X SWX-1242D - Car subwoofer driver - 1000 Watt - 12"" |
