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.

What Others Are Saying
Eddie was great - SDCS installed a new head unit in my 2019 4Runner. He was honest in his opinions regarding the options I was considering. Pricing was also good - he was able to reuse some of my existing installation kit so I saved a bit of $$.Installation was clean and fast and he took the time to walk through the features before I left. Highly recommend!!
I had a great time at this shop! The staff really knows their stuff and took the time to explain the different options without pressure. Installation was quick, clean and professional. Everything looks factory and sounds amazing. The prices were fair and customer service was above and beyond. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for quality car audio and excellent service.
Those guys are really professional! I had a new Alpine floating head unit installed in my 2008 Mercedes, and it feels like a brand-new car. The installation was super clean. At first, the sound wasn’t the same as the factory stereo, but Kevin tuned it to be just as good—if not better—without adding any new amps. They even used my factory GPS antenna so I don’t have extra wires hanging out. On top of that, they matched the online price. Big thanks to Kevin and Eddie—highly recommended!
Kevin was awesome, he took his time and explained everything to me. I went in initially for a dash cam install and then decided to get a sub and amp installed as well. Both turned out great and will be returning if I need more work done.
Came In not knowing what to expect when suddenly my stereo stopped working. Spoke with Kevin in the front and after a VERY fast diagnosing they discovered my wiring was incorrect. After only about 45 minutes total being in the store I was on my way to the beach with a working stereo again! Thank you so much SDCARSTEREO
Highly recommend Kevin and the team at San Diego Car Stereo for any issues with aftermarket stereos. I bought a car with an aftermarket stereo and AC unit that wasn’t working properly—specifically, the heat wasn’t functioning due to an improper setup. I had several people look at it with no luck, and even the dealership basically refused to help because it was an aftermarket install. I came to Kevin and his team over the holidays feeling pretty defeated, but he was confident he could get the heat working before I headed back to a Colorado winter. Sure enough, he got it done.
