Features

Dual Voice Coils: For system flexibility, the woofer has two 2Ω voice coils. When the voice coils are wired in parallel, the woofer presents a 1Ω load; when wired in series, the woofer presents a 4Ω load.

Terminals: The two pair of set screw terminals are located on opposite sides of the woofer frame and 18" lengths of positive and negative wire are included for wiring the voice coils in parallel or series. The terminals will accept bare wire up to 10-gauge.

Enclosure: Alpine recommends mounting the RS-W12D2 sub in a sealed box with a volume (gross) of 0.65 to 1.55 ft³. Three specific volumes are listed in the manual, 0.65 ft³ (-3 dB at 35 Hz), 0.95 ft³ (-3 dB at 30.5 Hz), and 1.25 ft³ (-3 dB at 29 Hz).
