Taking a clean-slate approach in the development allowed Alpine engineers to design the subwoofer to excel in nearly every category. Whether in a small sealed or vented enclosure, these new subs possess the ability to be articulate and defined or powerful and authoritative. Deeper and more refined looking than their predecessors, they now sit at 5.6” (SWS-10D4 & SWS-10D2) and 5.9” (SWS-12D4 & SWS-12D2) deep, making them flexible for many different installation options.
Genetically Built Like Type-R
More Excursion = More Output
The new FEA-Optimized Motor Structure together with our revolutionary HAMR Suspension Design gives the new Type-S Subwoofers the highest X-max and SPL output in the category.
With a real-world, measured 15mm of one-way X-max, the new Type-S Subwoofers deliver best-in-class output, ultra-low distortion, and unparalleled sound quality. Borrowing the HAMR suspension from the Type-R, these new Type-S subwoofers have over 30mm of one-way stroke, for a total of nearly 3” of peak-to-peak excursion!
Underhung Design = More Control
The new dual-sided CRC motor structure mimics that of the Type-R Thin subwoofers, providing these subs with an ultra-linear, highly controlled sound. This patented design (US Patent # 6,639,993) creates a perfectly symmetrical and linear magnetic field for the coil to travel in, minimizing distortion while enhancing sound quality. The high-grade double-stacked magnets ensure adequate clearance for high excursion while providing the energy needed to power these beasts.
