Nostril Vibration

I blew my Memphis MClass 12 running 300 watts at 4 ohms with an Alpine MVR500 ( great amp). This website had THE BEST price on this Pioneer sub after doing a week of homework. You will not find another sub within $200 of this one that as high a sensitivity (96 bd) & this much Xmax (13mm). I put this into my same sealed box (1.25 sq ft) & I bangs!! It's super clean but still makes your nostrils vibrate, which the Memphis never did. I'm running it @ 2 ohm @ 540 rms. Next I will be putting in a larger ported box. Nobody around here believes it's only 1 12 my RSX. I nearly bought a sundown audio 12, but after much homework comparing the specs, this was the sub for me & I'm beyond impressed!!! You won't be disappointed with this sub or with Sonicelectronix! They got it here in 2 days as promised.

Amazing subwoofers

I purchased two of these subs to replace my single pioneer ts-w3002d2 with hopes of having louder and clearer bass reproduction without having to upgrade electricals(my cars year makes it expensive to upgrade) and i was definately pleased. I have them both wired at 2 ohms to my pioneer amp pushing the 600 Rms to both and they hit hard, loud and clear. I would highly recommend these subs to anyone wanting inexpensive, high quality sound without needing a high powered amp.

Great investment!

I wish I would have found them sooner.These Speakers are some serious quakers.

OMG.

These things pound hard more than worth the money! buy these now

Great sub

This is a great sub just one of these knocks hard and I have the bass boost half way! you can't beat the price for the quality of this pioneer!

Impressive for the money !

I bought two of these for my Ford ranger extra cab, and built a ported box five cubic feet net, not including port volume. Each sub has its own port tuned to 33hz and 16 sq in port area. I have a Massive Audio N4 loaded to 1 ohm, which is putting out 1444 watts at 13.5 volts, with box rise the subs won't get that much power. About a month of playing they are starting to sound better now that that dual spiders are breaking in. Needless to say the bass is incredible ! Flexing the back of the cab quite a bit. These pioneer subs "suspension" is in my opinion more durable than the new alpine type r sub which has a single spider. My last type r spider separated from the cone completely and then failed. Sorry alpine.

These are awesome!

I upgraded from 2 ts-w310d4s to a pair of these. The 310s are a great sub for getting loud with minimal power required. I A/B swapped the 310s to these with the same box/ amp. The 3003s obviously draw a little harder on electrical, but without being broke-in yet, they are as loud as the 310s that have over 150 hours on them. They move the windshield a bit more than the 310s already, after a very short 4-hour break-in. The build quality is literally "impressive". You would be hard-pressed to find build quality like this under $120-150. I have seen $200-plus subs that aren't built this nice. They sound smooth and have a nice curve with a moderate-sized enclosure.

These AND the 310s are excellent products for their price. I recommend these if you have over 500W of clamped, daily power per sub, but if you have under 500W a sub, def go with the 310s. Also go with the 310s if you have a puny electrical system, and don't see yourself upgrading it, as the 3003s will draw a considerable amount. The 310s will shine under 500W per sub.

They are worth it

These speakers are the truth I have 2 with a hifonics 1200 watt super d class ample in a grand am and it sound great

Great sounding woofer

Set this woofer up at 2 ohms in a ported Belva box with an SSL 1500 watt mono amp. The woofer sounds amazing with very smooth and deep bass. Very efficient woofer as the amp's gain and bass boost are set at 1/4 . Definitely would recommend.

Awesome product

I ordered 2 and they're great. Have them in a ported box wired at 800 watts and they bump. Would 100% recommend these to someone else.

Great subs at an unbeatable price

When I got these, they were on sale for one heck of a value, so I figured I would buy them. To start, I have never dealt with audio before but my friends all had. When I told them I was going to buy some subs, put them together, and power them indoors with some server power supplies they laughed and tried to tell me all sorts of things. I'm powering these with a Hifonics Brutus BRX 1200.1 (great amp) and that's powered by two 750 watt server power supplies plugged into the wall. I live in an apartment complex and am scared to turn these all the way up, but they pound hard! All my friends are thoroughly impressed with the setup I have. I recommend these subs!

WOW

These subs hit hard, loud, and clear. One of the best subs I have owned. I had Clarions, Rockfords, Pyle, Planet Audios, JL W3 and many more. I do have to say they sound just as good if not better then all the subs I just mentioned but with a better price tag and higher wattage. TRUE STORY

great subs

Pros: great price, very good response, handles 600w rms, and very versital in different type and sized enclosures. Cons: none

I have three of these beasts in a ported enclosure each getting 500w rms and let me tell you they pound. Roof, windshield, and doors flex. Literally looks like my car's a chest and it's breathing. Lil tip is to get sound deadener

THESE SUBS HIT!!

After researching subs I put these on my wish list. Purchased these recently and I am 100% satisfied. I live in a cold climate and was worried about the effects to the equipment. No problems with the sound at all. A lot of bang for the buck!! Running them in a sealed box with a Hifonics 1200 watt amp and they take it and smile. Shipped on time and would definitely recommend this product. Thanks Sonic

Great Service

I recently purchased a new car and wanted to upgrade the stereo system. The service reps here , not only answered questions about the product I purchased here, but also on products that I purchased elsewhere. I purchased the Pioneer TS-W3003D4 12"subwoofers. As claimed by everyone I talked to , they are the best bang for your buck , WITHOUT a DOUBT !

Pioneer says it all !! Top quality sub , very efficient !!

I put this sub into a 1 sq. ft. belva sealed box . I only have room for 1 in my little Fiat 500 . I have it running on a Boss CXX 2705 5 channel amp with the gain set at about 45% at 2 ohms and it slams . I have had this sub for less then 48 hours so it is not even close to being broke in yet .. I can't wait until it is broke in so I can get its full potential . It already puts the boom into Sonic Boom !! The price is right and it out performs many high priced subs . It is well built and worth at least twice what I paid for it . Buy one you won't be dissapointed . I couldn't even imagine what two of these would sound like ? I think your ears would bleed !!

Pioneer TS-W3003D4

Best product..! No regrets what so ever. Good quality sound really recommend it an for a good price..

Sweet sub

I bought two of these subs to go with my 1200w rms hifonics amp, and what can I say other than that they are amazing for the price. They make my whole car shake and have not heard any distortion or problems with the subs. The only issue is that I received one of them damaged and had to send it back. But, I recommend anyone that does not want to spend $250 for a sub that has the same performance to get this sub because it is a high quality product.

worth the money

I cant believe the bass i get out of this sub. I custom built a 1.5cubic ft. Box like the instructions recommend and im absolutely thrilled. Definitely a great deal. No distortion what so ever.

Best sub ever seen!

Perfect sound it goes looooww (20hz) and the power of it :O Im running it with only 500w RMS BUT with 96db that think PUNCH!!! I put this summer 1200$ on my car sound system. Trust me I know about cars sounding and I searched for a while for a Sub like this one! This is the one you need! I cant imagine 2 like these :O. And it does not smell burning the first time you try it (still dont put it on max vol the first 5-10min LOL)

big bang for the buck!! Hits lows good for the price

I have 2 of these in my Jeep Patriot In a custom sealed box. They hit just as hard as a 12" MTX 9500 in a sledgehammer box, except when you gp down to the 30Hz range. Dont get me wrong, they can do it, just not as loud as the 9500. Great buy. I recommend them to everyone whos on a budget!

UNDERRATED & UNDERESTIMATED!!!!!!!!!!!

Just recently posted a review about the TS-W3003D4 and let me tell U...... UNDERESTIMATED & UNDERRATED TO THE FULLEST EXENT. I had 3 TS-W310S4 in a sealed box ran off my Hifonics BRX1100.1.... Yesterday was experiment day..... I bought a 5 cubic feet box tuned to 34Hz from MobileSoundWorks.com last year and its just been sittin' there. Originally for 2 Sundown Audio ZV4s, I decided to test this monstrosity of a subwoofer enclosure out with just 2 of the 4 TS-W3003D4s I recently just purchased and my system sounds like it drunk some electrical tea or something because the bass did a 360. PORTS RULE THE WORLD & personally I think this box is tuned to 33.5Hz because any frequency between 36Hz & 28Hz is a $LAMMER!!!!! ONCE AGAIN, DO NOT HESITATE TO PURCHASE A COUPLE OF THESE SUBS. My box is a cube too big and my subs are poundin' the f**KK out of this box with no problem. They dont over extend themselves or get real hot in this box either. U will loose the higher notes but, I LIKE LOW BASS SO, WHO GIVES ANY TYPE OF A F**KK!!!!!!! "IF IT DON'T SHAKE THE CAR OR MOVE AIR THEN, I DON'T WON'T 'EM!!!!" PIONEER FOR THE WIN, SONICELECTRONIX FOR THE VICTORY!!!!

Very pleased with this sub!

I put it in a1.25 cf sealed box and it sounds great. Deep, tight and clean-it really puts the finishing touch on my car audio upgrade.

great subwoofer

Top rated sub great sound 2 sub wired 4omhs deep rich bass

Best bang for you dollar.

I have 2 of these wired to 1ohm.@ 1100 watts. They sound great

Great Value!

Works as advertised. I connected this sub to the Sony XM-ZZR3301 amp and it sounds amazing, lots of bass! I recommend this product.

This is an Amazing Product!

Just wow. Guys, take my advise, I've done hours of research on what to buy and I FINALLY decided to buy this one. I have it hooked it up to a HiFonics 1100 watt Super Class D amp (pushing it at 700 rms) and I cant be happier!!! I drive an 09 Chevy Impala LT and it rocks the house:) I've had it in for about one week as of Oct. 14-14 and I have had ZERO issues so far. Please, if your looking for the thump of your life, then BUY THIS SUB YOU WONT REGRET IT!

One more thing... THANK YOU SONIC AND PIONEER!

This sub is litterly breath taking .

When I first got this sub I wired at 2 ohms and with the volume at 24 out of 63 and the gain set at 45% the sound was amazing but the amp kept kicking out and got pretty hot . I checked the ohms and wired at 2 ohms ,it was actually reading 1.5 ohms and my amp was not 1 ohm stable . I rewired it to run at 8 ohms ( which was actually running at about 6.6 ohms ) and even though I am pushing about 450 watts to a 600 watt rms 12" sub I just set the gain at about 75% and played with my head unit settings and this Pioneer TS-3004D$ sub pumps out plenty of sound hitting he lows hard ,, distortion free and extremely loud !! If you get two of these subs and wire them at 2 ohms each , wired in parallel you will be able to run these at about 3ohms . I thought about sending this back and getting a dual 2 ohm sub but this one sounds so great I am just going to keep it and wait till it blows before I replace it . Sonic rocks and this is not a beginner sub , it is a high grade sub at a fantastic price ! I will buy from Sonic for all my car audio needs in the future .

FREAKIN WORTH THE MONEY!

i was gonna buy the older versions of this sub before it came out in 2014 then i seen a vid on youtube and i was like been wantin a sub that would last me so i checked it out oh man dual 4 ohm voice, double stack mgs 600 rms to 2000 peek!!! jesus i dont know if it can handle 2000 watts but dang im under powering this buet and it freakin hits Strong im plannin on gettin an amp soon and i got my eyes on this amp i'd recommend this amp and sub BIG TIME! u wont freakin regret for ur first or 10th sub heres the amp im talking about Power Acoustik RZ1-1500D

roof flex

I bought three of these while they were on sale for 79.98 and I looked at every sub on this site reading reviews comparing numbers and prices and I couldn't be happier they look really clean and strong I bought a triple sealed box from sonic that was angled on the out side speakers and it was a gamble without depth dementions and sure enough they didn't fit so after having to stare at them for a week a three slot q bomb pro vented box came from carid and I was excited till my speakers didn't fit in because of the rino liner so after the jig saw fixed my holes they were in and wow I couldn't have smiled any harder they bang!!!! Plain and simple they flex my Durango's roof no problem bass level on head unit at one out of six and they bang when you get the speakers the come with all the cubic ft recommendations for every type of box my vented is 1.85 they say 1.5 for optimal sound and 2.0 for deep but yes I'm running 3 amps at 2000 max 8 ohm set up and they are intense some songs with out the windows cracked blow my ears for now till they get use to it but I promise you for the money you will not be disappointed at all I wish I could put a pic on here everyone says they look amazing and say just by looking that it has to be loud and it is

serious bang for your buck

I have always stuck to high end brands for car audio, so with me saying that I went out on a limb buying these. I was skeptical about the frequency response maxing out at 80hz, but don't worry about it. These pioneers will knock your head off and keep getting great reviews.
I couldn't be happier with these subs, and so would you. I hooked two of these up in a 2010 jeep wrangler unlimited. I used a hifonics brutus 1200 amp, wired everything to 1ohm, sealed box slightly smaller than maximum volume recommendations. When I tell you these things sound like some jl audio 12w7s, I mean just that.

2 12 pioneers

Really surprised these subs hit hard got my coupe shaking got them wired to two ohms on an crunch amp! Highly recommend this product

Best 80 bucks I've spent..

I had a rockford fosgate p3 prior to this sub in a sealed box and that sub was really great until one of the voice coils went bad for the second time and my warranty is gone so I decided to try something different. I wanted the previous version cause I heard they were good but saw this one and took a chance with pioneer. This subwoofer sounds amazing it hit lows very well and gets loudddd sealed so I couldn't imagine ported in the correct box. I'd definitely get two if I was into dual sub setups but this gets the job done! Exceeds expectations better than the p3 in my opinion especially for the price.

Great Sub

This speaker is Awesome!!!!!.....Nice clean and clear sound very good sub and worth every penny!!!! I would recommend this product to anyone. THANKS SONIC ELECTRONIX!!!!!!!

Go Get It!!!

This subwoofer is a must-buy! It's designed to look good in your trunk and serve up as much bass as you can take. I have this sub and it proves its worth it every single time.

Pioneer TS- W3003d4

Great subwoofer for a cheap price. This s*** go hard. If you don't own one get some. It's worth it.

wowww

all I can say is holly s*&^! I have 2 of these hooked up to an old school 2000 watt SPL amp and these things pound!!! still gonna upgrade to a hiphonics 1500rms amp and ill let yall know how if I break or shadder anything

Cant go wrong with pioneer champ pro series!

Excellent subwoofer, thumps nice deep bass with my setup! it was a little confusing to get the wiring figured out but once i did that and tuned it slightly its amazing im only running 500 watts and it hits hard. i love the carbon fiber look it looks real nice when i open my carbon fiber trunk!

This sub is unbelievably awesome

I cant believe how loud it is, and i was planning on getting 2 of them and thank God I didnt, it wouldve been way too much, just 1 could do the same as 4 kicker comps, and more if you bridge it
I will totally recomment it!!

blown speakers

I would bot recommend this product, I recieved blown speakers.

Great product

I recommend this product for its quality . I am very happy with purchase.

Great sub

I bought one and it sounded so good I bought another one just to have. They were at a great price. I would recommend these Pioneer-TS-W3003D4 these to everyone.

Great budget subs, they lack on midbass, and do NOT hold true 600 watts rms

I started out with the old Premier Champ subs back in 2007, and since then I have talked up Pioneer subs. These really are good subs for shaking your vehicle, and they produce some very good lows in a proper box. They do not, however handle power that well. I originally had them (2) wired 4-ohms to a 600watt rms amp, so they were probably sharing 400 watts. No issues whatsoever, but they could have been louder (scored 137.4Db in a sealed box) so I bought a 1500 watt RMS 1ohm amp and wired them 1 ohm and holy jesus they were crazy loud, but only for a few seconds before things started to smell. I never clipped these subs, I now have them wired 4-ohm to the 1.5k amp so they should be getting 600 watts, but even then they start to smell after a good 15 minutes of hard use. Even pioneer recommends using an amp lower than the subs RMS rating. But still, 137.4 Db is nothing to be ashamed of when you are talking about $80 subwoofers. Great product. Great durability (my old premiers lasted 6 years of hard abuse on my 600 watt amp before 1 popped a VC feed wire. Now I use them for my out-door tower speakers.) I definitely recommend these for someone who want good quality low bass on a budget.

best bang for ur buck!

I dont know if this could handle 2000 watts but it does handle 600rms with no problem. I got a 1100 watt Sony amp that pushes "600rms" n lets face it that is what u need to match up! This sub hits so hard it hurts my chest!!! Perfect match!!!

awesome

I am a big fan of pioneer. I had the comp 12 sub it is good but would pop with a lot of bass at a loud volume. I bought the 12 pro comp pioneer and it can handle all the bass I put to it at high volumes and you can't beat the price so happy with my purchase.

TS-W3003D4, DON'T HESITATE!!!!!!!!!!!

The pictures do these subs no justice!!! GREAT QUALITY MADE SUBWOOFERS!!!!! I purchased 4 of these Monday April 6th and Andrew (ext. 2222) made it so I could have my subwoofers by April 9th!!! SONICELECTRONIX IS THE BEST SITE FOR FAST & IMMACULATE CUSTOMER SERVICE & GREAT QUALITY PRODUCTS FOR WHATEVER YOUR PREFERENCE IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Comin' from Chicago lettin' the rest of the car audio world know where to STOP & SHOP!! Andrew was VERY NICE & INFORMATIVE with my purchase. I plan on on a .5 ohm set up in a sealed enclosure once I purchase everything else I need. Stinger RCAs, XS Power Batts, more Kicker 12ga speaker wire, ect. I bought other items from here as well. A Stinger 6000 Series wiring kit for my future Crescendo BC3500D, 2 Soundstream SP2.654 speakers for my doors, a set of Pioneer TS-A6995R speakers and a Pioneer DEH-80PRS for my new headunit. EVERYTHING ARRIVED IN MINT CONDITION IN 3 DAYS!!!! So sayin' all of that to say please shop with this company!!! U WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED, I GUARANTEE IT!!!!! Will keep y'all updated once I've finished the set up.. #$LAMTA$TIKK!!!!!!!

Great bang for the buck!

Read all the great reviews and bit the bullet on a single sub in sealed enclosure (wanted fast/accurate bass). First one I received blew the whole spider assembly within minutes. Was played at very low volumes and was just checking the box for any leaks when it popped. At that point I almost gave up on this cheap sub and was about to go with a JL but it was a free exchange and decided to give it one more shot. Couldn't be more glad that I didn't give up on it! Running an Alpine PDX-V9 running 523 watts RMS (per the test card) and at just half gain this thing hits hard and is exactly what I was looking for. Has been running strong now for the past ~3 months. My goal was SQ inside the car, not annoying (to me) rattles which can be heard miles away and this fit the bill. Two of these in a proper spec'd ported box with good power should be more than enough for all but the most extreme bass heads.

When value exceeds price..That's a deal.

I've had many woofers over the years from entry level to competition. I wanted some punch in my camry, read the reviews and thought this woofer would give me just enough bass to feel the sound. paired this with the sony ZZR3301 pushing 600 rms in a ported belva box that i got all from this site, and holy SH*T! way more bass than i could have ever expected! my rear window flexes!!! all i hear is crisp clean hard hitting bass! my buddy who installed it said the sub can even handle more than the 600 rms but this system is perfect beats down the block! I am more than happy with the product and fast shipping from sonic! HIGHLY recommend this woofer especially for the price, hits harder than my old W3 fro a fraction of the price!! AMAZING woofer

Have had them for about a week

I've only had these subs for about a week but I'm loving the quality of the sound. Remember, they are 4 ohms per voice coil so you can either do a parallel setup for 2 ohms, series for 8 ohms or a mixture of both for 4 ohms which is what I did. Installation was straight forward but the box became super heavy once the subs were installed because of the huge magnets but thats a good thing! Will update if they fail or anything.

By Vic on July 10, 2015 Verified purchase

Nice sub

I'm hitting this sub with 600 watts rms and it truly performs. The versatility between R&B to rock is very acceptable. I would recommend for sure.

great sub

I kinda love this sub hits hard for the price I've only used it at two ohms and still really bumps it's great I recommend it

great bass for the price

I bought two of these for less then (30$ less)pioneer or crutchfield wanted for 1,and I am happy with them.they pound for the money that's for sure.sonic shipped immediately and I received my order before their expected date.thanks

over 1 year of abuse durability review

Ok after about a year I've upgraded from running 3 of theses subs at 500w rms to after break in of these subs to 700w rms each of clean power and they handle every bit of it but I wouldn't apply any more power in concerns of blowing them but I would definitely say they do handle the 100w rms extra to each sub as long as it's clean

EarthQuaking

These are very nice subs, I've waited over a year to post a review just to make sure they were`nt a joke. Well a year later they a still strong! I got them when they were $79.99 with only about ten reviews. I've had them hooked up to a SPL1-3400D @ 1 ohm. To be realistic that's about 750 RMS watts each, any other subs would have blown, they are in a ported box with 2.0 cu.ft. each sub. These shake my hair, nostrils, and vocal cords INVOLUNTARILY! My father-inlaw got beside me one day at a red light and got pissed! (Enough said!)

Great Sub for a great price.

Really enjoy this subwoofer. It hits notes really well. I have it in a vented enclosure (which I got from Sonics as well). Only pushing maybe 400 watts to the sub wired @ 2ohms, but it gets loud and sounds clean.

Nice price

Awesome subwoofers have two in 3 cubic ft box and they will make your chest pound won't beat them for the money

Great for rock/metal

I purchased 2 of these from Sonic to replace 2 Sundown SA 12 Subwoofers. The sundowns just werent SQ enuff for me, so I ordered the Pioneers for everyday listening. After breaking them in, I used a JL Audio 1000/1 on the pair in a 1.75 cubes after displacement per sub tuned to 35hz. The amp seemed to be to much for the pair so I replaced with a JL 500/1 and put the pair in a 4 cube enclosure tuned to 32hz and they sound great. Great value for 160 bucks and shipping was super fast. Im very happy with them. Ive only had them a month so im hoping they are durable like the subs they replaced..

The best

very good quality and fast shipping
Buen sonido y rapido envio

Great for rock/metal

I purchased 2 of these from sonic to replace 2 sundown sa12 subwoofers. I wanted something more musical and better SQ then the Sundowns and read the review on these. They came really fast after ordering. I tried these in both sealed and ported, both with rec enclosures on a JL Audio 1000/1 and they had a hard time taking the power from the 1000/1 even though they are rated at 600rms each. SO I ended up throwing them in a 4cube enclosure tuned to 32hz and replaced the 1000/1 with a 500/1 JL amp and they sound great for rock and metal. Not so much on rap and low freq, but im happy with them for the money. Good bang for the buck. I honestly would of prefered a couple Alpine type S but they jacked up the price on them. If your not looking to spend alot, try a pair of these..

Sounds very clean, WOW!! Love them💋💁🏻

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I would totally recommend these. Installation was a breeze AFTER my boyfriend and I found a good (bridged) wiring diagram to run with---courtesy of Sonic Electronix. My original MA Audio setup (600watt RMS amp + 2x 12" 300watt RMS subs) lasted us +10 years and then finally fell apart like nobody's business (:::ahem::: from water damage from his Civic---and then further abused for maybe 5 months in my Accord) 😂😂😂. So... I went with a full Pioneer conversion; and got 2x of these bad boys paired with a Pioneer GM-9601 amp.

I was nervous about straining my OEM battery + alternator, so I upgraded to an XS Power D3400 (which I also bought from Sonic Electronix). NOTE: the (+/-) terminals must be purchased separately---as they don't come with them! I didn't do the "Big 3 Upgrade," because I had a good 4G wire from the Battery to Chassis. I will probably eventually do it as a couple's weekend project. Interestingly enough, I never experienced any dimming or anything even with the stock battery + MA Audio sound system 👀

Between the new battery and the new subs, I've added +100lbs to my car from just these mods. However, I have no regrets. 👏🏼👐🏼💁🏻

Holy smokes

This subwoofer is crazy. I used to have 2 kenwood subwoofer (250 watts rms) and i kept blowing them, so upgraded to this but only bought one of these right away. I'm glad I only have one. Because any more and it would just be too much bass. I didn't think that was possible but it is. I have 575 watts at 4 ohms going into this puppy and it slams soooooooo hard. I don't even have to use bass boost which is great.

Great sub pioneer ts-w3004d4

Ive had this sub for about a month in a 1.5 sealed enclosure and this thing puts out some serious bass. Makes me want to buy another all around great buy.

Feel the bass!

I order pioneer TS- W3003D4 and it sound luxgery in my car!! Music sound so better with a system. Thanks sonic electronix!!

Great speaker

This speaker is good I have a jl audio 1200/ pushing six of these and it's a force to be reckoned wit gain not even half the way turned up

Loud and clear

So I was excited to switch to a sealed set up from a ported alpine type r. I figured that the 200 watt difference between 2 pioneers and a type r would make up for the ported to sealed switch. These subs are great and sound awesome... but only around 50-60hz did it pound it's to is full potential. Anything at 40hz or below was still there but much quieter. Still sounded amazing but I was really let down by the lack of lows.

Pioneer Championship Series

The price is very reasonable. The product is a lot better than other brands I've had.

Incredible subs when coupled with the GM-D9601 Pioneer amp

I have 2 of these on the Pioneer GM-D9601 in an Atrend E12DSV BBOX ( tuned to 39 Hertz and filtered at 40 Hertz by the amp, perfect ) and they play loud and clean. Easily does 135 DB and as a daily setup is perfect. Loud and clear bass, and when setup properly, no distortion. It was just above $400 to buy all online, high quality sound and a ton of power ( 1,200 Watts @ 1 Ohm driving these subs! ) from the amp at an incredible price. Highly recommend theses subs, they literally have no competition when doing a price comparison with other equipment in the same rms class. What comes close to these in price ( I will not brand bash so do your research ) will be less efficient- lower sensitivity when compared to the 96 DB sensitivity rating for the TS-W3003D4 ) with the given rms power which means that the sub/subs that can compete would require more power to be just as loud in the same enclosure. Absolutely phenomenal subs as I’ve found out by researching and ultimately owning. Get yours today!!!

Heavy JL W3

I had a JLw3 but it fried due too my amp bass boost being set to high and my warranty expired. The pioneer championship sub is by far the best sub for value, quality in bass and sound. My amp only powers it for 500w rms though, but it sounds just as good. Too be honest this sub hits the low hz bass notes a lot better than the JL. In my opinion the bass is just as clean too. If it was on 600w rms im sure this sub would sound even better. Not bad at all for pioneer. I was'nt expecting it to sound this good.

Best of the best

If you want some real sound not the boom boom one note stuff. This is it . Read the specs, runs big power and produces the notes effectively. Very underrated in my opinion.

Pioneer TS-W3003D4

i took two of these in a small ported box to a car audio comp. I wired them down to one ohm, paired with its amp the pioneer gm 9601 so its getting 1200 watts rms at 1 ohm and let me tell you it hits like a beast,but i need a bigger box or my the way these things took frist place in stock class 0 to 3000 watts and put up 143.7 dbs. I beat 2 kickers 12 l 7 as well as a dc audio 18 and some other subs so pioneer is not junk, That's why i entered them in because people said the were junk let me tell you they were all impressed

12" Pioneer Champion Pro Series

I had an older 10" Champion Pro Series in a ProBox in my 07 CTS and loved it. Decided to go with the new updated version and a 12" instead. Love it!! I have Pioneer all around in my CTS. Love Pioneer! Great bang for your buck! Highly recommend!

Very Nice Sub

For the price, these are very good subs. I ordered two of them and so far, they sound really solid, good bass, and they will get loud! I'm being careful and slowly breaking them in. I have a HiFonics BRX 2400D amp to push them (plenty of power), so I can't wait to really push these bad boys!

Excellent product!

I purchased two of these along with a 9601 amp. The end result has left me astonished. So much that I'll be ordering another set and amp to add for this same van. Pioneer has gained my attention. I've always used their mids, highs and head units. This time it's going to be the full setup. For the price and performance, nobody or product comes close.

Best BANG for the buck and three times the buck!

Hahahahaha WOW!!! I hate to be like one of these kids saying "These things SLAM" but... these things SLAMMM!!!

Four years ago I was running a Type R 12 in a custom ported box, I don't know how much wattage I was giving it, I estimated 300-400 but I could be way off since I had no way to measure, I just turned up the gain til it was loud but I knew I could give it a good bit more. Back then I thought that was the real deal.

Fast forward to now, I was researching setting up a new system but I don't want the new gen Type R, and I wanted to save money, and I couldn't find any used 2010 model Type Rs locally... and then I stumbled across this little beast.

Everything they say about sensitivity rating is so true. I just bought a multimeter to use the Ohms law way of setting gain using voltage reading, and at first I discovered that I wasn't even giving it 100 watts. What? Yeah. I am now giving it approximately 200 watts with a little bass boost and it HURTS. After breaking it in for a week or two I will go for 300 watts and I am scared of what will happen.

I have this sub in a pre-fab Atrend Bbox, the one that is 1.7 cu ft and tuned at 33Hz. I think that is pretty much perfect for this sub when you want it to really dig into those low lows. If you want it to do a little better at higher frequencies, you can go for the one that's a bit smaller and tuned to 39Hz, and apparently this sub still rattles teeth in sealed enclosures. I love how versatile it is.

This sub is musical, accurate, clear, and LOUD. DO NOT HESITATE. Also, RIP Type R.

Great SW

This is the best bang for the buck SW.

Don't know why anyone would buy anything else. Pioneer has been around foooooorever, and this sub is all that and more. I built my enclosure myself and paired it with a Kicker 600.1.

Anyway, very happy with the purchase.

Pioneer 12" subwoofer

Great customer service fast shipping and also great communication throughout the whole process

very surprised!!!

I've had all kinds of subs, JLw3 12s, JLw6s 12s, soundstream t-3 15, soundstream t-5 12s, soundstream splx12s, kicker 15s solobaric l5s, Kove audio Armageddon 12 which was one of the loudest subs from the early 2000s and all of these subs are more on the high end side and for a fraction of the price, these subs are very comparable as far as how loud they get due do the 96db efficiency. I bought these because I saw great reviews but I was leery because I wasn't sure how credible the reviewers are, like maybe they don't know what loud can really be as far as shaking the sunroof screws loose or your taillights loose. but these subs POUND!!!! got a hifonics 1600brx amp pushing these bad boys and all together I spent only $600 for these two subs, the atrend box recommended from Sonic, the amp, amp kit and installation. in the past I've spent $2500 to have bass pumpin this loud. If you get these subs with a nice box and amp I promise you won't be disappointed at all.

The Right Sub at the Right Price

Awesome tight and powerful bass with 2 in Belva MDFD12 enclosure. Perfect for rock, Bach and jazz played at a medium level powered by a JBL GTO 751EZ amp. I get the sound and feel without the loud ear damaging volume. I have no doubt that this amp and subs set up can really crank rap and music very well.

Great Sound

I would recommend these subs for those looking for some extra thump in the trunk. Not really for competition, but an excellent value for the price.

Tsw3003d4

Bought a pioneer tsw3003d4 subwoofer and had a slit in cone but sonic electronics worked with me in a timely fasion and resolved the problem and got me a replacement. I would gladly do business with sonic electronics again great products at good price.

12" Pioneer TS-W3003D4 600W RMS

Wonderful subwoofers, very strong and reliable. I enjoy the power.

Great sub

Cannot destroy it.....built like a tank. I have it running through a hifonics Brutus 1100w amp...its been on it for over a year with daily use

Still love Pioneer subs

I've been buying Pioneer IMPP subs back when I was in high school in the early 90s. I've tried other brands, some much more expensive. I always ended up being unhappy with them and going back to the IMPP. These subs are great. They hit hard, the bass is really good, but don't hit the lows like the older ones did. It's still plenty though. They are so loud that I had to turn them down a lot because it made my ears hurt. I was going to try ported but they are already plenty loud enough for me.

More than enough bottom at reasonable listening levels.

I have this sub in a 1 cubic foot sealed enclosure powered by a MTX thunder 500.1 at 2 ohms. This replaced a MTX thunder 8000 series 12 that a mean NOLA pothole ended up shorting. Compared to the MTX, the Pioneer sounds a little tinny. Did the MTX sound more natural? Yes, but it was also at a much higher price point. I listen to mostly electronic, R&B, and hip hop. This Pioneer sub can push enough air for you to feel your clothes shaking. I just wanted some solid low bottom to my music that rear deck speakers can't produce. I'll probably pick up another one of these this spring, for another system.

Teeth rattling LOUD

I've had this sub for about a year now. I've had it in 3 different boxes and 2 different amps. First amp was a GM-D8601. Wired at 2 ohms to get 500 watts RMS. The first box I used was a 1.5 cu ft sealed box. I used this during the break in period. I had loud and very smooth bass. The frequency response was flat and sounded tight for all music genres. After a good break in period, I put in a 1.5 cu ft ported box tuned at 36 hz. Wow did it ever come alive. I set the LPF crossover on my amp to 80Hz and it sounded amazing. Very clear and very loud. Absolutely no distortion with this sub. Eventually I upgraded to a GM-D9601 amp and put the sub in a 2 cu ft ported box tuned to 36 Hz. It really added that deep bass. And with the extra power, it was incredibly loud too. At first I was worried that it might sound a little sloppy in the larger box. But I raised the LPF crossover to 100 Hz to keep that tight kick drum thump. Every drum kick feels like it could stop your heart. With this set-up, it can keep up with the fastest rock songs with sounding muddy. And can also hit the lowest notes in any rap song. And it plays the lower frequencies very loud.
I never expected such quality out of a $90 sub. Nobody believes me when I tell them it's only one 12". If you put this in the right box with the right amount of power, you will be amazed. If you want a better sub, you will be paying at least double the price as this sub.

Great value

These subs satisfied me for sure. They give me the loud bass I have always wanted. Upgrading from kenwoods that were single voice coil to these were definitely a great choice. I'd definitely recommend these to anybody!

Good product

Has a great sound.....does not distorte.......can hear all level clear as a bell

100%

I have this amp on an JBL MS A5001 @2 ohms.. Built a custom box at 35hz.. 1.75cu.. And all I can say is WOW! I wasn't expecting the bass that is delivered from just 1 12.. I will buy another one!! Durability is a 4 simply because I've only had it about 2 months.

Great price

Love it and with the right amp you can make it sound so laude and clean
Buy it don't think about it

They bump hard!!!

If you want some big bass then definitely get some of these!! I bought 2 for my 2002 chevy tahoe!! You will not be disappointed on sound and price!! I'm very happy with them!! And you will too!

Pioneer subs

Awesome subs, they are monsters.i recommend them to everyone.

Great subwoofer

Good subwoofer, packs a lot of bang for the buck.

Good all around option

Thumps and has good response. Overall happy with the purchase.

Surprisingly Loud

I've read here that you really don't need more then one of these speakers unless you only want to listen to bass notes all day but I went ahead and bought two and slammed them into a T-line with two 600 watt rms class d dual amps. I'm flexing windows, and disturbing neighbors... According to my boss at work (exaggeration I'm sure) he claims he can feel the concrete vibrate when I turn up the volume a block down the street... Any which way you won't regret the purchase... Great bass at a great price....
