Product overview
More bass with less space – Alpine’s new Shallow R-Series rise to the top, giving you extraordinary bass performance in an ultra-compact form to suit and fit into virtually any application. Alpine takes compact bass to the next level with a state-of-the-art design coupled engineering innovation to accomplish an ultra-shallow profile without compromising on bass level output and quality in anyway. An exclusive dual gap motor structure combined with a powerful neodymium magnet allows for high power handling of 600 Watts RMS and 1800 Watts max . Moreover, with its bespoke cast aluminum frame and ground-breaking woofer cone design enables an incredibly linear X-max of 20mm ensuring the best possible bass performance . Alpine’s R-Series Shallow Subwoofers give you the best of both worlds in size and sound. What’s more, the optional mesh grille KTE-RS10G , exudes a tough look and adds a premium finish to your custom installation, all-while giving your equipment the protection it deserves.
With an ultra-shallow subwoofer design and powerful sound output, the R-Series Shallow Subwoofers give you the best of both worlds in size and sound.
For those looking to add powerful, hard-hitting bass performance to their vehicle but lack the space to add a subwoofer, Alpine’s R-Series Shallow Subwoofer delivers the same fun and loud sound you’ve come to expect, now in a shallow subwoofer that’s designed to fit in most vehicle applications.
Don’t let the size fool you – the R-Series Shallow Subwoofers feature the same cone movement (20mm of excursion) as the full-size R2-Series Subwoofers for extreme output in a shallow woofer design. At the heart of the R-Series Shallow Subwoofers is an oversized 4-inch (10cm) voice coil that is controlled by a powerful neodymium magnet for 600W RMS of power handling.
A light weight yet rigid aluminium dust cap allows the R-Series Shallow Subwoofer to transition sound quickly with minimal distortion and project the bass off the surface off the speaker for hard-hitting yet smooth bass performance.
Alpine’s Gen2 DD-Linear Magnetic Circuit technology, a compact and efficient dual-gap voice coil structure allows for better and linear control over the motor, resulting in lower distortion and precise bass control.
The R-Series Shallow Subwoofers are built with a die-cast aluminium frame for a rigid and sturdy construction to ensure high energy transfer and to mitigate any resonance of the frame.
