Easy integration with BMW sound systems
Integrating DP2-45C-B into your BMW is straightforward. Alpine ensures compatibility with selected BMW vehicles, making installation hassle-free. Designed with plug-and-play functionality, it fits into the existing setup for a quick upgrade to your car's sound system.
Exclusive HAMR surround
Alpine's High Amplitude Multi-Roll (HAMR) surround provides greater maximum and linear cone excursion for high SPL. The HAMR surround maintains full control over the cone at every excursion stage for powerful bass and pure sound.
Hybrid fibre diaphragm
The hybrid woofer diaphragm combines bulletproof fibre and carbon fibre. It is very rigid yet lightweight, which keeps cone movement accurate and limits distortion for a natural, revealing mid-range and powerful bass extension. The speaker looks as good as it performs.
Tetoron soft dome tweeter
The Alpine Tetoron soft dome tweeter is lightweight and durable, with a wide frequency response to capture every detail of the audio spectrum, from the subtlest passages to the most powerful crescendos, whether you are listening to classical, rock or the latest pop.

About the Alpine DP2-45C-B
From our tech experts at CEN
Vehicle-specific speakers designed for the BMW, so they fit the factory locations using the existing mounting points and connectors rather than needing adapter rings cut to fit.
Who it suits
BMW owners who want a real improvement over the factory speakers with no cutting or fabrication. Plug-and-play sets like this are the usual starting point, because the work is contained and the result is immediate.
Our tech experts advise
They will play louder and cleaner with an amplifier behind them, and doors usually benefit from sound deadening before you hear what the speakers can really do. Model years and trim levels vary, so get in touch to confirm this set suits your exact vehicle. See car audio installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these speakers fit my car?
A: Most car speakers are standard sizes, but mounting depth and fitting rings vary by vehicle. Check the size in the Specification tab against your vehicle, or contact CEN with your registration and we will confirm fitment and any adapters or fitting kits you need.
Q: Do I need an amplifier to run these speakers?
A: Not always. Most speakers will run from a standard head unit, but a dedicated amplifier lets them perform at their best, particularly for component sets and higher power handling models. The RMS figure in the Specification tab is the guide to how much clean power they can use.
Q: What is the difference between coaxial and component speakers?
A: Coaxial speakers combine the tweeter and woofer in one unit for a simple like-for-like upgrade. Component sets separate the tweeter and woofer with a crossover for better imaging and detail, and suit installs where sound quality is the priority.
Q: Do these come as a pair?
A: Unless stated otherwise, car speakers are sold in pairs. Check the product title and What's Included tab, which lists exactly what is in the box.
Q: Can CEN fit these speakers for me?
A: Yes. CEN offers professional installation from our Nottingham premises. Contact us to book an installation slot or ask for a fitting quote.

A: The DP2-45C-B has 12 cm (4.5 inch) woofers and 2.5 cm (1 inch) Tetoron soft dome tweeters.
Q: Which BMWs does the DP2-45C-B fit?
A: It is designed for the BMW 3 Series (G20, G21, G80 M3, G81 M3 Touring) and 4 Series (G22, G23, G26, G82 M4 Coupe, G83 M4 Cabrio) from 2018 to 2024. See the compatible cars list for exact dates, and contact CEN if your car is not listed.
