Description of X-W10D4:
OVERVIEW
The New X-Series subwoofers were developed from a sound philosophy we call
Alpine ID – a focus on highly accurate components built for superior imaging. A
triple stacked magnet surrounds an extended voice coil which allows a very long
excursion resulting in huge air movement.
A specialized CRC pole with integrated
cooling fins and an aluminum shorting cap reduce the lag of coil’s alternating
movement while also providing cooling within the motor. The cone structure is
suspended by two spiders and our patented H.A.M.R. surround. The stability of
the dual-spider along with the even unfolding of the multi-roll surround create
incredibly linear cone travel, free of any unneeded movement that cause
distortion.
The powerful and efficient motor coupled with its highly-controlled suspension
give the X-Series subwoofer the ability to create loud and accurate bass in a
very small, sealed box. Only requiring 1 cubic foot of air space (.55 for the
10”), the 12” X-Series subwoofer can reproduce frequencies down to 40 Hz before
rolling off, leaving you with bass that digs deep and plenty of trunk space.
The new X-Series subwoofers are the X-W12D4 12-inch Dual 4 Ohm and the X-W10D4
10-inch Dual 4 Ohm.
CRITICAL EVALUATION OF IN-CAR SOUND
Alpine’s top engineers from all over the world gathered in Alpine headquarters
to deeply research and evaluate sound systems from both the aftermarket and
high-end OE manufacturers. Many systems today have incredible dynamic range and
reach sufficient volume levels, but lacked the reality of instruments and
spatial imaging. As a result, Alpine ID was born, a sound philosophy that
continues to inspire us to create a new level of sonic performance.
ALPINE: IMAGE DEFINED
Or Alpine ID for short, is the new Alpine global sound culture with an
evolutionary approach for solving what’s missing in most car audio systems these
days: great spatial imaging and depth of sound stage. It centers on developing
matched sound systems with core components that work together to achieve greater
realism in the sound stage while maintaining great dynamic range and accuracy.
BUILT TO MOVE TONS OF AIR
The 24mm Xmax is best in class and allows close to 2 inches of full cone motion.
In order to create a powerful yet accurate subwoofer, we had to implement
several technologies that keep the cone under control. Dual spiders ensure a
rigid moving assembly while the HAMR surround provides long linear travel. A
shorting ring keeps the THD down while a custom heat sink integrated CRC pole
and shorting cap keeps high magnetic force. These design aspects come together
to produce incredibly precise, powerful bass.
EASY GRILLE AND TRIM RING INCLUDED
Taking design cues from tweeter development, we’re incorporating a twist-lock
trim ring which allows easy attachment of the included metal mesh grill. With a
simple twist, the trim ring locks into place, concealing the mounting screws and
locking the optional grille into place. The trim can be installed with or
without the grille.
THE PERFECT PAIR PERFECT POWER MATCHING
The X-Series amplifier, X-A90M, is the perfect amplifier for the job. Along with
the 900w power matched specifications of both components, each were built under
the same sound philosophy, Alpine ID. With a focus on musicality and sound
imaging, the X-W10D4 is complimented by the amplifiers clean, low distortion
output and >1500 damping factor. Add the X-Series speaker to the system and
prepare to experience a new level of in-car imaging.
