The subwoofers feature an ultra-shallow footprint and impressive output

Auburn Hills, Mich. (Jan. 5, 2023) – Alps Alpine North America, Inc. (“Alpine”) introduces two new S-Series Shallow Preloaded Subwoofer Enclosures available in 12” (SS-SB12) or 10” (SS-SB10) versions. The enclosures feature an ultra-shallow footprint and impressive output for the ideal bass upgrade.

“The ultra-shallow enclosure design will make it easier than ever for customers to add bass to vehicles that are lacking in space,” said Mike Anderson, Executive Director at Alps Alpine North America, Inc. “Even with a shallow footprint, the subwoofers deliver a powerful bass performance that will enhance any sound system.”

Precise Performance

The S-Series Shallow Preloaded Subwoofer Enclosures feature a sealed 12” or 10” polymer cabinet preloaded with an S-Series shallow subwoofer. The shallow subwoofers feature a 2” voice coil inside of a lightweight yet powerful neodymium magnet for up to 300W RMS of power handling.

Exclusive to Alpine is the Gen2 DD-Linear Magnetic Circuit technology, a compact and efficient dual-gap voice coil structure that allows for better control over the motor, resulting in 22mm of peak-to-peak linear excursion for maximized fidelity and output.

Innovative Design

Using an internally braced polymer enclosure, the design maximizes airspace in the shallowest depth possible. Featuring a mounting depth of 4.5” on the 10” model (5.25” for the 12”), the enclosures were meticulously designed to provide a bass upgrade to a factory or aftermarket sound system that lacks space for a traditional subwoofer enclosure.

The S-Shallow enclosures are molded in a rugged polymer material and IPX-rated, unlike traditional competitor models which use a wooden cabinet that can become damaged from moisture. The package includes four steel mounting brackets that rotate 90 degrees, allowing flexible installation in many vehicle types. The construction provides an efficient and reliable bass response. The enclosure is non-powered and features a single 2Ω voice coil with a custom Alpine-branded push terminal, compatible with Alpine’s 5-Channel S-Series S-A55V Amplifier, KTA-200M or KTA-30MW Powered Amplifiers.

The S-Series Shallow Preloaded Subwoofer Enclosures will ship in February 2023 in a 12” version (SS-SB12) for $499.95 and a 10” version (SS-SB10) for $449.95 and can be purchased at Alpine Authorized retailerd Preferred Online Stores. Please check the store locator on www.alpine-usa.comfor details.
