Features

Driver: The Alpine S2-SB12 loaded enclosure features a single S2-W12D4 10", dual 4-ohm voice coil subwoofer driver. The new S-Series driver features Alpine's High-Amplitude Multi-Roll (H.A.M.R) surround and an improved voice coil that allows the subwoofer to handle increased power over previous versions. A high strength frame is designed to withstand the rigors of the new S-Series motor, while frame leg vents and a vented back plate help keep the sub driver running cool. The driver also features two strontium ferrite magnets stacked together for increased motor strength and excursion. Both 4-ohm voice coils are internally wired in parallel for a single 2-ohm connection.

Power Handling: The S2-SB12 can handle up to 600W RMS (1800W peak).

Enclosure: The S2-SB12's sealed enclosure design has been optimized for use with the S2-W12D4 driver, producing deep, powerful bass from a small enclosure. It features a rigid, heavy-duty MDF construction that's wrapped in attractive black carpet, with a smooth black and silver trim on the front of the enclosure.

RGBW Lighting: The Alpine S2-SB12 enclosure includes RGBW lighting built into the enclosure trim, providing 12 static colors and 4 dynamic lighting modes. Control of the RGBW lighting can be made using the included hand-held IR remote control. The S2-SB12 RGBW lighting can also be controlled via a connected Alpine iLX-W670 headunit (sold separately). A 6" connection harness provides the +12V and Ground wires that get attached to the vehicle electrical system for powering the lighting. A third wire on the harness attaches directly to an Alpine iLX-W670 (if used) for control of the RGBW lighting. 3-Pin RGBW In and Out ports on the rear of the enclosure let you daisy-chain multiple Alpine S2-SB12 enclosures together for RGBW control from a single remote control or iLX-W670 headunit.

Enclosure Linking (Optional): The S2-SB12's unique design allows it to be linked to an additional S2-SB12 (sold separately) using the optional KTX-LK12 linking kit. This features an aluminum rear link-plate and an attractive, steel-reinforced ABS front linking bracket that securely locks the two enclosures together.

Subwoofer Grille (Optional): The Alpine S2-SB12 does not include a grille for the driver, but can be used with the optional Alpine KTE-12G.3 steel mesh grille (sold separately).

Terminals: A single rear-panel terminal cup houses a pair of spring terminals for connecting speaker wire up to 12 ga. in size. Both of the driver's voice coils are wired in parallel for a single 2-ohm load on the terminals.

Specifications:

  • Driver: Single 12"
  • Impedance: 2-Ohm (dual 4-ohm voice coils wired in parallel)
  • Power Handling: 600W RMS (1800W peak)
  • Enclosure: Sealed
  • Frequency Response: 23-215 Hz
  • Dimensions: Width = 16.63", Height = 15.0", Depth = 13.13"/6.50"

Customer Q&A

1 question already asked

Q
The alpine type s sealed enclosures have rgb lighting. Does the light flutter with the beat or is it one constant brightness?

A
Hey Dakota, so the lighting on the PrismaLink can actually do multiple things. Not only does it have constant colors that can be set, but it also features four total dynamic modes which offer different light experiences like rainbow, flashing, and cascading colors. The dynamic modes do not appear to be able to react to the beat of the music however.
