Maximum bass output. Alpine’s R2-W8D4 8″ subwoofer delivers powerful, precise bass that combines both accurate response and impressive output, particularly for its compact size. Drawing on over 40 years of audio engineering expertise, Alpine has designed this high-performance subwoofer with a new motor structure featuring double-stacked magnets that produces deeper bass with tighter sound control.
This premium subwoofer features a durable Kevlar-reinforced pulp cone with a High Amplitude Multi-Roll (HAMR) Santoprene™ rubber surround that allows for extreme excursion while maintaining control. The oversized poly ceramic dust cap adds rigidity to keep the sound tight even at high output levels, making this the perfect choice for bass enthusiasts who want quality bass but have limited installation space.
