Alpine Shallow 10 Inch Subwoofer: Powerhouse Bass in a Space-Saving Design

Overview

The Alpine RSW10D4 Shallow 10-inch Subwoofer revolutionizes car audio with its ultra-compact design and exceptional sound output. Despite its space-saving profile, this subwoofer delivers the same powerful performance you'd expect from much larger units, making it ideal for vehicles with limited installation space. Its innovative design and advanced technology provide an impressive 600 watts RMS of bass-pounding power that transforms your listening experience.

Engineered for Excellence

The Alpine Shallow 10-inch Subwoofer features a remarkable oversized 4-inch voice coil powered by a neodymium magnet, producing a 20mm cone excursion that rivals full-size subwoofers. This powerful combination enables the RSW10D4 to move substantial air volume, creating deep, responsive bass despite its shallow mounting depth. The subwoofer's cutting-edge Gen2 DD-Linear Magnetic Circuit technology ensures precise bass control with minimal distortion, delivering clean, accurate low frequencies that enhance every music genre.

Space-Saving Solution

With a mounting depth of only 3.25 inches (82.55mm), the Alpine Shallow 10-inch Subwoofer fits in locations where traditional subwoofers won't, including under seats, in shallow enclosures, or in vehicles with limited depth clearance. This versatility makes it perfect for compact cars, trucks with limited space behind seats, or any installation where depth constraints present challenges. Despite its slim profile, you'll experience the same powerful, room-filling bass performance that Alpine's R-Series is renowned for.

Premium Construction

Built with uncompromising quality, the RSW10D4 features a die-cast aluminum frame that provides rigid, sturdy support while reducing unwanted resonance. The lightweight yet durable aluminum dust cap enables quick sound transitions with minimal distortion, projecting bass efficiently for hard-hitting yet smooth performance. Every component has been engineered for reliability and longevity, ensuring this subwoofer delivers exceptional performance for years to come.

Features

Features:

Revolutionary Shallow Design

The Alpine RSW10D4 delivers powerful bass performance in a fraction of the space required by traditional subwoofers. Its ultra-shallow profile fits discreetly in tight spaces while maintaining the sound quality and output that audiophiles demand. This innovative design allows for versatile installation options without compromising on performance or sound quality.

Exceptional Power Handling

With 600 watts RMS power handling and 1800 watts peak, this shallow subwoofer provides impressive output that rivals much larger subwoofers. The combination of high power handling and efficient design creates punchy, responsive bass that enhances any music style from hip-hop to classical. Even at high volumes, the RSW10D4 maintains clarity and precision, avoiding the distortion common in lesser subwoofers.

Advanced Dual 4-Ohm Voice Coil Design

The dual 4-ohm voice coil configuration provides flexible wiring options, allowing you to optimize your system for either 2-ohm or 8-ohm total impedance. This adaptability ensures compatibility with a wide range of amplifiers and system configurations, making it easier to achieve the perfect match for your specific audio setup. The oversized 4-inch voice coil also improves heat dissipation, enhancing longevity and reliability.

Gen2 DD-Linear Magnetic Circuit Technology

Alpine's proprietary Gen2 DD-Linear Magnetic Circuit technology utilizes a compact and efficient dual-gap voice coil structure for superior motor control. This advanced design results in lower distortion levels and more precise bass reproduction compared to conventional subwoofers. The technology enables the cone to move with exceptional accuracy, producing tighter, more controlled bass even during complex musical passages.

Premium Aluminum Components

The lightweight yet rigid aluminum dust cap allows for quick sound transitions with minimal distortion, projecting bass effectively off the speaker surface. Combined with the die-cast aluminum frame, these premium components ensure structural integrity while reducing unwanted resonance. The result is clean, articulate bass that enhances your music rather than overwhelming it with muddy, undefined low frequencies.

Neodymium Magnet for Enhanced Efficiency

The powerful neodymium magnet provides exceptional magnetic force in a compact, lightweight package, contributing to the subwoofer's slim profile while maintaining its impressive performance capabilities. This high-quality magnet enables the substantial 20mm cone excursion that gives the RSW10D4 its remarkable output despite its shallow design. The efficient magnetic circuit also improves overall power handling and thermal management.

Compatible with Optional Grille

The RSW10D4 is compatible with the KTE-RS10G Subwoofer Grille Kit (sold separately), providing both protection and enhanced aesthetics for your installation. The steel mesh grille adds a professional finishing touch to your audio system while safeguarding the subwoofer cone from potential damage. This optional accessory is particularly valuable in installations where the subwoofer might be exposed to accidental contact.
