Bundle Contents
This bundle combines an Alpine PXE-C80-88 OPTIM8 8-Channel Hi-Res DSP Amplifier with an SS-SB12 12" Shallow Subwoofer Enclosure and R2-S65 6.5" Coaxial Speakers. It provides a complete, matched audio upgrade for vehicles where space is limited but sound quality is a priority. The all-in-one amplifier simplifies installation by integrating processing and power.
Amplifier Capacity and Tuning
The 8-channel amplifier drives the included subwoofer and speakers while offering real-time tuning via PC or iPhone app. A 31-band EQ and automatic sound tuning allow precise adjustment for the cabin. The DSP handles hi-res audio playback and multiple inputs, but lacks wireless streaming or built-in source switching beyond the wired connections provided.
Upgrade Path and Fit
This system replaces a factory head unit and passive speakers with active processing and dedicated amplification. The 5.25" deep subwoofer enclosure fits tight spaces where standard boxes cannot. The 16.5 cm glass-fiber woofers and coaxial design upgrade door locations directly. Builders needing more than eight channels or a separate monoblock for additional subwoofers should look elsewhere.
