About the Alpine SWT-10S2

Right size, right sound

Right size, right sound
Here's a big bass breakthrough for truck lovers. Alpine engineered their SWT-10S2 10" subwoofer to go behind your seat, and sound especially good in the limited space of a truck cab.This deep-sounding, high-performance sub works well in shallow enclosures that'll fit behind or under the seat in your truck. A "high amplitude" surround allows more cone travel than a regular sub, so the SWT-10S2 can push more air and play louder.
Airflow ensured
Subs get hot as they play, and the heat usually gets vented away via a port in the back of the sub's pole piece. Alpine recessed the pole port and added cooling air vents on the sides of the frame, allowing you to use an enclosure with an inside clearance of as little as 4-3/16" without blocking critical air flow. An SWT-10S2 will work well in either a ported or a sealed box, so you can get your favourite kind of bass tone, boomy or tight.
The power it takes
This single voice coil, 2-ohm sub will draw maximum power from most subwoofer amplifiers. For top performance, you'll want to pick an amp that delivers between 100 and 350 watts RMS at 2 ohms.

Features
HAMR Surround: The High-Amplitude Multi Roll (HAMR) Surround Design allows for extreme excursions without sacrificing valuable cone area.
Speaker Terminals: The spring post terminals will accommodate single banana plugs or bare wire up to 8-gauge.
Gasket Cover: Alpine uses a Concealed Mount Gasket System to cover the mounting screws for a clean look. The black rubber gasket ring comes already installed on the woofer and needs to be removed before drilling the mounting screws (not supplied). The gasket ring then snaps back into place once the woofer is mounted.
Recommended Sealed Box Volume: The recommended sealed box sizes range from 0.35 ft³ to 0.82 ft³. Within this range, the ideal size is 0.47 ft³.
Recommended Vented Box Volume: The recommended vented box sizes range from 0.75 ft³ to 1.27 ft³. Within this range, the ideal size is 1.24 ft³. A slot port with the following dimensions should be used: 10" (wide) x 1" (tall) x 20" (long).

Compact, hits hard when needed, and looks great. Running a single 10" in a custom made underseat upward firing enclosure powered by a 600 watt Alpine mono amp. If you want bass but have limited space, then this sub is for you.
