R-A90S

Experience your music in Hi-Res with the R-A90S 6-channel R-Series amplifier. This is one of the most versatile Class-D 6-channel amplifiers on the market, featuring a unique staggered power channel layout that has double the power on the last two channels, as well as built-in high-pass and low-pass filters to build any kind of sound system.

The “R” line of speakers and subwoofers have a heritage of sound quality you can hear from a block away, and the newly added R-Series amplifiers are no exception. Aside from their best-in-class performance, these amplifiers are tuned to emphasize the characteristics of the R-Series speakers and subwoofers, giving you that legendary R-Series experience.

The Alpine R-Series Sound Components

The R-Series lineup is “The Loudest Family on the Block”. The products are designed to be played loud, delivering a fun and exciting listening experience, and are known for dependable performance and high-quality sound. All R-Series components are developed to perfectly match each other.

Staggered Power Design

With double the power on the last two channels, the R-A90’s 5th and 6th channels can be bridged to provide up to 500 Watts RMS @ 4 Ohms to your subwoofer system. The R-A90S has a unique staggered power channel layout, that has double the power on the last two channels. This means you can set the amp to deliver 4x 75 Watts + 2x 150 Watts to run 2 separate subs, or configure it 4x 75 Watts + 1x 500 Watts to run one very powerful subwoofer.

The Amp That Grows With You

Thanks to the unique staggered power channel layout, the R-A90S can host different levels of power on each channel, compared to traditional multi-channel amplifiers. The R-A90S can effectively function as both a 3-way active amplifier and a 5-channel amplifier by delivering the power you need to the channels where you need the most.

Next Level System Builds

For the best possible sound experience, use the built-in band-pass, high-pass, or low-pass filter to individually power each component in your system and assign frequency bands for accurate and reliable sound reproduction.

Remote Bass Knob Ready

You can connect the RUX-KNOB2 remote bass knob (optionally available) to the R-A90S to control the subwoofer gain level (channel 5 + 6) straight from your dash.

Small Footprint and Installation Flexibility

Compact and Powerful: the new digital amplification circuit allows high power output while keeping a small footprint. The R-A90S measures just 324mm in width x 273mm in length for easy installation. The logo center-plate can be adjusted to install the amp in landscape or portrait orientation.

Thermal Protection

Along with Alpine’s new intelligent amplifier platform, the new R-Series amplifiers feature an improved heat sink and protection circuit design that eliminates thermal shut-down, for dependable music playback.

Low/High-Power Speaker Signal Inputs

The 6-Channel RCA speaker signal inputs accept low and high-power signals. This makes it easy to connect the R-A90S directly to your original car stereo, regardless of your head unit’s power output. The power cable terminal accepts heavy gauge cables of up to 4 AWG.
