Description
The anticipated R-Series 2022 lineup is here!
Redesigned motors
Second-generation R-Series subwoofers feature a large dual magnet that delivers deeper and tighter bass compared to the previous R-Series generation. The "Faraday Ring" integrated into the voice coil increases power handling and reduces potential distortion, delivering clean bass even at higher volume levels. R-Series subwoofer cones are Kevlar-reinforced, making them extremely durable without adding excessive weight.
Top-tier performance in just the second generation
Before the R-Series lineup, Alpine had the Type-R lineup, which became known for its performance, reliability, and exceptionally tight bass. Now, the second-generation R-Series lineup is on the market, delivering even better bass than its predecessor!
Alpine reliability
The new polypropylene/ceramic composite cone is exceptionally rigid, preventing unwanted cone movement and providing a more even response, while also being highly durable.
Versatile installation options
All new R-Series subwoofers feature dual voice coils (2 x 4 ohms or 2 x 2 ohms) and include jumpers that make it easy to configure different wiring options. The new "EZ-Change" bezel creates a stylish installation, while the EZ-Change ring conceals the mounting screws.
Even more precise response
R-Series subwoofers feature Alpine's patented High Amplitude Multi-Roll (HAMR) suspension. It allows for increased cone excursion and provides significantly better control over cone movement than traditional suspension.
Six different versions
The new R-Series subwoofer lineup covers three different sizes (8″, 10″, 12″), with 2 x 2 ohm and 2 x 4 ohm versions available for each subwoofer.
