  • Look no further for a compact sub!
All things considered, this is a FANTASTIC sub. If you are looking for a compact, amp+woofer combo that can easily slide under or behind your seat, or take the least amount of space possible in your hatchback or trunk, look no further. I purchased this sub along with a Kenwood KSC-SW11 Compact Powered Enclosed Subwoofer, and the difference is truly insane. I suppose its possible the Kenwood unit was defective, thats the only other possibility I can think of other than its just a piece of junk. The Pioneer's wattage rating might be less than that of the Kenwood, but don't let that fool you. The Kenwood struggled and missed low notes so often, while popping and clipping bass drum/ beat notes. The technology of this new Pioneer sub is that it doesn't function like a normal speaker, so the lower power rating is OK - it producers much more sound than the Kenwood. Lower notes and smoother beats Just so long as you know you are not going to get window-rattling, earth shaking subwoofer setups that take up half or your entire trunk for ease of install and reclaimed trunk space. I'd say this sub sounds and "hits" like that of some of the best OEM/Factory subwoofers that come in high-end automotive setups, and really even then some. Thats what you should expect. Nothing anyone will hear outside of the car. But plenty to fill in all the lows in the music when you're driving around. I wanted something under the seat as to not take up any other space in my vehicle. This sub is perfect. My friends can't believe how good it sounds and hard it hits for it's size. It has easily sold itself to half dozen of my friends. And for anyone who is wondering, since the information is not provided here or on Pioneer's website, it DOES come with the power/ground/remote wiring harness and plenty of cable, along with speaker taps for tapping off of rear speaker outputs from aftermarket radio decks. It might require a converter for high-end sound systems such as Bose. The ONLY other thing you will need to connect this to the S/W RCA outputs of an aftermarket deck is a set of RCA cables. The included harness has a set of female RCA plugs to connect to. Don't hesitate, you won't be disappointed. UPDATE: After almost a month, and more than 5,000 miles driven running this sub the entire time, I am still very impressed with this sub. 12 to 14 hr road trips are much more pleasant with a better sounding music system, and this sub is handling long drives like a champ. 2ND UPDATE: After 2 years and 50,000 miles of driving and using this sub, it still works great and sounds as good as it did on day 1! 3RD UPDATE: 3+ years and 70,000 miles later, still works and sounds amazing! I'm about to buy a 2nd unit for another vehicle without hesitating. TIP: Run the sub-out gain on your head unit at close to max. On my Pioneer head unit, I'm running 120Hz crossover and +5 (out of +6) of output. Then, control the volume with the sub gain wheel, and leave the crossover at a 120Hz. For my vehicle, the sweet spot is at a needle-width below half-way. I have found this technique helped smooth out the volume curve on this sub; letting it respond to the upper and lower end bass notes evenly without the "beat" bass notes being too loud or maxing out the speaker travel. Previously, I was missing some volume in the bass tones and the beat bass notes were a little too loud. I prefer a smooth, more even bass response across the frequency range. ... show more

  • Mehhh...
I was installing a sub in a 1997 Toyota T100 extended cab and I didn't want to make any physical changes in the cabin, so my choices were limited. My normal go-to sub for the "simple upgrade" is a Bazooka 8" and I've installed a number of them. With this sub being so new, there's not a lot of review-like info available, but I decided to roll the dice. This ended up getting installed under the passenger side of the bench seat, and it's bolted to the truck floor. The head unit driving it supports a sub, with dedicated outputs, along with High pass and Low pass filters. When running a Bazooka tube, I can let the sub have everything below 120hz. The tube does well at the higher freqs, without muddying up the soundscape. Not so with this box. Because of the lack of air space in the box, and regardless of Pioneer's "HVT" (Horizontal Vertical Transforming) marketing ballyhoo, this thing just doesn't like much above 100hz. Running with a 120hz crossover point brings you mud, it's partly from hiding under the seat (and not having free air space), but it's also from the restricted air space in the box. The speaker tries to move, the air pressure increases, and the speaker stops. I thought about returning it, but I instead rebalanced the system by moving the crossover point to 80hz and letting previously installed 6 1/2" 2-ways in the doors handle the upper-lows. That's not ideal in my opinion, but it helped, and what's left is being handled "okay" by the sub. The definition of the "kick" (broader reference that just a kick drum) and lower bass notes isn't super sharp, but it's okay enough to keep it. Again, market and mounting options being what they are, I don't expect anything else to be much better. A couple of side points... - Pioneer REALLY cheaped out with the wiring harness. What comes with it is a 10'(?) wire to hook to constant power, 10' wire to hook to the accessory line, an 18" pigtail for ground, and a 12" pigtail that ends in female RCA jacks for Left/Right. See the problem? After you open the box, you'll need a trip to Radio Shack (GAWD I hate Radio Shack!) to purchase a 12 foot male-to-male stereo RCA extension (about $17 locally). Ugh. Also, Pioneer couldn't be bothered to even twist the 10' runs into a bundle. That quickly turned into a tangled mess and I ended up creating a proper harness of it. - The coating on the sub feels like metal, but it's quite soft. It scratches (fairly deep) VERY easily. - Music style is 70's rock, Classic Country and some New Country. ... show more
