Alpine Electronics Expands Truck-Specific Speaker Systems
Torrance, Calif. (Jan. 6, 2016) - Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. announced a new truck-specific, direct-fit sound system package at the 2016 International CES, taking place from Jan. 6-9 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The new model is the second sound system package specifically designed for trucks.
Sound System Packages The new PSS-31GM is a 3-way speaker, subwoofer and amplifier package engineered to fit and sound great in 2014-up GM full-size trucks. The included speakers are the SPT-31GM, which consists of a pair of 3-way component speakers for the front doors (made up of 8-inch woofers, 3-inch midrange and 1-inch tweeters) and pair of 6 ½-inch coaxial speakers for the rear. The speakers and tweeters fit into the truck’s factory locations and the dash-mounted mid-sound tweeters are finished with Alpine designed shaped pods. Mounting adapters are included to optimize the position and angle of the speakers for the best possible sound reproduction (the SPT-31GM can be also purchased alone as a speaker system).
Included with the PSS-31GM is a direct fit zero space subwoofer and its unique tuned enclosure baffle made for 2014-up GM full-size trucks. The direct fit subwoofer is designed to be installed in the limited, unusable space behind the seats in GM 4-door trucks, creating excellent bass response without using functional cabin space. The design allows a thin, lightweight subwoofer to create good low-frequency extension. It achieves this by tuning the enclosure with a port that matches the cabin air space of 2014-up GM full-size trucks. The port is coupled to the outside air though one of the cabin vents behind the seat. The MRV-V5005-channel amplifier provides power to the entire SPT-31GM system and comes with a custom bracket for installation on the rear cabin wall. The SPT-31GM comes with the necessary hardware for a plug and play installation.
Also available is the PSS-21GM 2-way speaker, subwoofer and amplifier package for 2007-2013 GM full-size trucks. The PSS-21GM uses the SPT-21GM speaker set, made up of a pair of 2-way, 6 ½-inch component speakers that fit into the truck’s front factory locations and completed with Alpine designed pillar-mount tweeter pods and a pair of 6 ½-inch coaxial speakers for the rear (the SPT-21GM can also be purchased as its own speaker system). Rounding out the PSS-21GM are the direct fit, zero space subwoofer designed for 2007-2013 GM full size trucks, an MRV-500 5-channel amplifier, and all necessary hardware for a plug and play installation.
Speakers Alpine offers three lines of speakers. The premium Type-R speakers use small, powerful neodymium magnets and a strong yet light HD polymer frame, so they’re compact and lightweight for streamlined installation. Their power efficiency allows them to perform well with built-in head unit power or aftermarket outboard amplifiers. They use the patented High-Amplitude Multi-Roll (H.A.M.R.) surround technology adapted from Alpine’s popular Type-R subwoofers, for clean, high-impact bass performance.
The dependable Type-S speakers are available in a wide range of sizes, so they’re convenient upgrades for factory speakers. They are efficient and can operate from the built-in power of a factory or aftermarket head unit. The Type-S speakers use a stamped HD polymer frame for improved sound and installation, while the high-performance soft dome tweeter provides smooth, detailed sound.
Type-E speakers deliver Alpine-quality sound at appealing prices. They offer a simple upgrade from factory speakers and come in three popular sizes that fit into many vehicles. They are constructed with a reinforced glass fiber frame on the back and come with installation holes for easy mounting in a variety of cars.
Subwoofers Alpine offers subwoofers specifically for truck use, plus three other subwoofer lines. Two truck subwoofers each offer a shallow 4.1-inch mounting depth for installation in tight spaces such as behind or under a seat. Enclosed subwoofers include the wedge-shaped SBT-S10V enclosure loaded with the SWT-10S2 subwoofer and designed to fit behind or under a seat, and the PWE-S8 powered subwoofer with a compact design to fit under a seat or into other small spaces.
The high-performing and durable Type-R subwoofers provide impressive bass output and sound quality. They feature Alpine’s H.A.M.R. technology, which produces tight control and extreme excursion without sacrificing cone area. The popular Type-S subwoofers also have H.A.M.R. technology, 500WRMS power handling and a full feature set for powerful output and sound quality. They can withstand extreme use even in vented enclosures. The SWA subwoofers offer deep, hard-hitting bass at budget-friendly prices.
Availability The PSS-31GM will have an SRI of $2,350 and the SPT-31GM will have a SRI of $1,050; availability is TBA on both models. The PSS-21GM will have an SRI of $1,950 and the SPT-21GM will have an SRI of $700; availability is TBA on both models.
