quality. We used that technology to create a groundbreaking sound system by suggesting to FCA that they
mount our slim-line, lightweight speakers on the ceiling. As a result, we received the award in recognition
of a product that was not only safe to use and of high quality, but also enriched the quality of life with cars.
Encouraged by these awards, we will continue to be a partner that automakers can rely on, developing
products that can provide even greater satisfaction to customers.
The Fresh Air Subwoofer—Small, Slim-line, and Lightweight
Subwoofers are one of the key
products used in on-board installation
of luxury sound systems, but they are
bigger and heavier than other speakers,
which usually places constraints on
where they can be mounted. With the
Fresh Air Subwoofer, Alpine pursued
the utmost in in-vehicle acoustic
efficiency, at the same time enhancing
product performance and making the
devices smaller and lighter.
We achieved dramatic results—an 86% reduction in dimensions and an 80% reduction in weight
compared to previous models—thereby improving fuel efficiency in cars fitted with these subwoofers
and making it more convenient to fit them.
