Hey, I was just wondering if anyone knows if there is a major difference between the older Alpine Type E (SWE-1241) and the newer one (SWE-1242). Would 1 older one and 1 new one work together or would they pound at different times? Is it possible to run a newer and older one together in one system?

Yes and no. At a certain dB the soundwaves will cross, and the system won't be able to "become louder". If that makes sense? Pretty tired today. LOL. With those subs, I doubt you'll see those volumes.

Would the difference be noticeable ? i plan on getting another of the newer ones later on but i received an older one for free so i might as well use it and I want 2. I tried getting another old one but it seems to be too much of a hassle. So my point is, will they at least sound decent ? and is there a possibility of damaging parts of the system if i were to run them ?

what other subs are you looking at? I would go with cefrwin vega v-max's or Kicker cvr's, image dynamics IDQ over those type e's

I thought the difference was one is dual 4 ohm voice coils and the other was single 4 ohm coil.
I'm probably wrong though lol
