About the Alpine PWE-V80
From our tech experts at CEN
An active subwoofer with the amplifier built in, so you get bass from one compact unit rather than a separate sub, amp and enclosure.
Who it suits
Drivers who want more low end without rebuilding the system or losing the boot. Powered units suit cars where space is tight, and anyone who wants bass but not a competition install.
Our tech experts advise
It still needs a proper fused feed from the battery and a signal source, which is where most DIY attempts come unstuck. Setting level and crossover against your existing speakers is what makes it blend. Installation is priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year and we will confirm what it needs and what the work involves. See car audio installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need an amplifier for this subwoofer?
A: Yes, unless it is an active (powered) subwoofer with a built-in amplifier. Passive subwoofers need an external amplifier matched to the RMS power and impedance shown in the Specification tab.
Q: What does RMS power mean?
A: RMS is the continuous power a subwoofer can handle, and it is the number that matters when matching an amplifier. Peak or max figures describe short bursts only. Match your amplifier output to the RMS rating in the Specification tab.
Q: What size is the Alpine PWE-V80?
A: It measures 342 x 80 x 238mm (W x H x D) and weighs 5kg, so it suits under-seat installation in most vehicles.
Q: Can the PWE-V80 connect to a factory head unit?
A: Yes. It has speaker-level inputs as well as RCA inputs.
Q: What is included with the PWE-V80?
A: The subwoofer, power cables, a remote level control with cable attached and installation brackets.
Q: Can CEN fit the PWE-V80 for me?
A: Yes. CEN offers professional installation from our Nottingham premises, including amplifier wiring. Contact us to discuss your install.
