What exact subwoofers does this fit?
This enclosure is driver-specifically engineered and optimized for a pair of 8" Alpine® R-Series subwoofers. It is 100% compatible with the following model generations: R2-W8D2, R2-W8D4, R-W8D2, R-W8D4, SWR-8D2, and SWR-8D4. The cutout diameters are exactly 7.00".
Will it fit in my vehicle?
Yes, it features a practical, streamlined footprint engineered to comfortably accommodate a dual 8-inch high-output setup while keeping a low-profile height profile. It fits perfectly in a wide range of trunks, cargo spaces, and SUVs. The exact external dimensions are 30.00" W x 11.00" H x 15.00" D.
How is the performance and wiring?
This premium pre-fabricated cabinet is engineered to extract the full potential of Alpine's high-excursion R-Series drivers. It features a common internal chamber with a massive 9.50" x 2.50" shared slot port precisely tuned to 34Hz. This layout allows both woofers to load evenly against the shared 1.40 cubic feet of internal airspace, delivering a well-balanced mix of raw sound pressure level (SPL) and audiophile sound quality (SQ). It comes equipped with an upgraded 2" round nickel-plated binding post terminal for high-current, secure wiring connectivity.
SlapBox™: The Ultimate Daily Driver
The LAB SlapBox™ isn’t your average prefab. It is a purpose-built, high-performance wind machine designed to get aggressively loud, dig violently low, and take a beating day in and day out.
Built like a tank in the USA from 3/4” CNC-cut MDF, we even upgraded to 1” or thicker front baffles on select heavy-hitting models. We tuned this enclosure right in the golden pocket of 32Hz to 34Hz. That is the undisputed sweet spot for authoritative low-end extension that still maintains a crisp transient response.
If you are chasing SPL numbers on the meter, wanting clean SQ on your commute, or just looking to move some serious air, the SlapBox™ delivers proven, dependable performance and aggressive sound.
SlapBox™ Highlights:
- The Sweet Spot (32-34Hz): Optimal port tuning for playing the lows with authority while keeping your kick drums punchy and tight.
- Overbuilt for Output: 3/4” MDF standard with 1”+ front baffles on select models to support massive high-excursion drivers and heavy daily wattage.
- American Made Muscle: Blends Sound Pressure Level (SPL) output with Sound Quality (SQ) at a price that leaves you budget left over for electrical upgrades.
