Alpine SWR-T12 Thin Subwoofer
Alpine’s SWR-T12 12-inch thin subwoofer is only 3.5 inches deep, yet can handle the same power and provide the same output as traditional subwoofers. Using Alpine’s patent pending Pass-Through Gap Geometry, the Thermoplastic Elastomer Segmented Spider passes completely through the motor structure, giving the cone and voice coil assembly the physical clearance needed to achieve over 50mm of peak-to-peak excursion. The SWR-T12 can be housed in an enclosure as small as 0.5 cubic feet, therefore creating various installation possibilities beyond the trunk (ex: in a custom door panel, under the glove box, under a seat).
