Alpine S2-W8D4
Upgrade Your Vehicle With Confidence. This Is Built to Fit, Perform, and Last
Alpine S2-W8D4 8-Inch S-Series Subwoofer
Product Overview:
The Alpine S2-W8D4 is a redesigned, next-generation 8-inch subwoofer that brings high-end technology to a budget-friendly price point. It is specifically engineered to provide noticeable audio upgrades in vehicles where space is limited, such as hatchbacks or under-seat installations. With Dual 4-Ohm Voice Coils, this driver offers flexible wiring configurations for easy integration into various amplifier setups.
Key Features
Advanced Material Construction
The S2-W8D4 features a cone built from a lightweight yet rigid carbon fiber and polypropylene blend. This material ensures fast response and deep, low-distortion bass. To ensure long-term reliability, it includes a polypropylene and ceramic dust cap that maintains structural integrity even under high-power demands.
HAMR Surround Technology
Equipped with Alpine's proprietary High-Amplitude Multi-Roll (HAMR) rubber surround, this 8-inch driver can move a significant amount of air while staying cool and stable. This design allows for 13mm of one-way linear excursion, delivering a punchy and accurate performance that rivals larger subwoofers.
Simplified Wiring with Pro Jumpers
The dual 4-ohm voice coil design includes pre-installed configuration jumpers, allowing customers to easily switch between a 2-ohm (parallel) or 8-ohm (series) load. This feature simplifies the installation process and ensures the subwoofer can be perfectly matched to the output of a mono amplifier.
Versatile Mounting & Protection
Designed for shallow-depth applications, the S2-W8D4 has a top-mount depth of only 3-3/4 inches. It also features a unique twist-lock grille mounting system, allowing customers to add an optional protective grille without the need for extra screws, maintaining a sleek and professional appearance.
