The Alpine R2-W8D4 is a next-generation 8-inch R-Series subwoofer engineered for powerful bass performance in compact spaces. Featuring Alpine’s updated R-Series motor structure, HAMR surround technology, Kevlar-reinforced pulp cone, and dual 4-ohm voice coils, the R2-W8D4 delivers deep, tight, and highly accurate bass while handling up to 350 watts RMS. Designed for both sealed and ported enclosures, the R2-W8D4 features a larger double-stacked magnet assembly and integrated Faraday ring for improved motor force, reduced distortion, and tighter bass control compared to previous generations. Its compact mounting depth makes it ideal for trucks, under-seat applications, and stealth audio builds where space is limited.
