The BRV-S40C is impressive on its own, but the real magic happens when you pair it with Alpine’s OPTIM8® DSP/Amplifier using OPTIM™ Sync, our BassRev-specific tuning. OPTIM™ Sync intelligently applies dynamic bass boost and pre-EQ tailored to these drivers, safely extending low-end performance and smoothing tone to unlock their full potential. The result is bigger-than-size sound—a 4" set that plays with near-6.5" presence a speaker alone just can’t match.
BassRev™ components are designed to run active, so there’s no passive network in the box by design. When paired with Alpine OPTIM8® using OPTIM™ Sync, each driver gets its own amplifier channel and crossover for cleaner, more accurate sound. You gain precise control of crossover points, slopes, EQ, and time alignment, with no power lost in passive parts. The result is greater efficiency, consistency, and clarity than traditional passive component sets.
The specialized lapel cone shape increases cone height and travel, giving the woofer more linear excursion than traditional designs. That extra, well-controlled movement delivers stronger low-end output while keeping the midrange clean and focused. Music feels fuller and more dynamic, and voices and instruments stay clear even at higher volumes.
Crafted to perform and last, the polypropylene/mica cone holds its shape for tight bass and natural mids. A durable gun-metal topcoat adds a premium finish and shrugs off daily wear. The edged dust cap reinforces the cone so playback stays stable and composed as the volume climbs. Together, these materials deliver clear, punchy sound with a refined finish you’ll appreciate on every drive.
