Pioneer "Champion" maybe

Not great for under 1000W usage pretty simple looking but completely durable and can take unbelievable abuse

WOW!!

The drivers sound quality is very good. It blended very well with the main speakers. Bass is well defined and not one noted or boomy.. Even though It still needs some run in time to loosen up, I'm very impressed with it. Build quality is very good and looks to last a long time. The only con that I personally have is the fact that the woofers surround is made of foam. I would've preferred to see a rubber surround instead... Rubber lasts much longer and is much more durable. That's why it didn't get a 5 for features. But for a nice, low price, I really can't complain.. Used with the right amount of power and the right enclosure, this sub is a true sleeper..

Good bang for your buck

Good subwoofer for the price they take alot of abuse and have a good kick to them.

good for the price

I currently own 2 of these they pound hard but doesn't need to much power to do so ...they blow kind of easy but besides that gata love em especially for the price

Great for Cheap

I get one off here and its a damn good sub for cheap i blow an 400 watt amp from it hitting so hard

Subs

Great work will bump hard.

Great Subs

I've had these subs for a while now, and after they break in they beat hard. They look sick, a little pastic-like, but they pound hard! Well defined bass, these subs are well built and support the high quality reputation Pioneer has built. I have 2 of these powered by a Rockford R500-1 amp, and the entire neighborhood and hear me coming from blocks away! They are a good buy.

dont buy

please spend your money else where. i love the pioneer champion pro subs but these are aweful.

be careful

I had one of these pushin 600 watts and it sounded great. got a Kenwood 720 watt amp and blew it the next day. great sub for the price but it distorts at high volumes.

Great buy!!

I just bought these subs and they are incredible they sound great hit hard would recommend to anyone!

Great sub, great price

I had a Dual brand 12" sub when I first started upgrading my car audio system, and no matter what I did, there was a persistent rattle, especially at high volumes. It sounded like it was coming from the rear deck underneath (where the 6x9s are mounted), but I never could pinpoint it. The other day I got some cash for a birthday present and decided to go ahead and "upgrade". I picked up this bad boy and the difference was immediately clear. Not only was the rattle gone (cheap Dual sub must have been the source, go figure), but this thing gets damn loud without any noise artifacts). Like one of the other reviewers, I'm pushing this thing with a relatively cheap 150RMS amp and it does the job just fine. The sub is installed in a 1.25cu foot box which is the recommended size, and I couldn't agree more. The last thing I need is a couple of bass blockers for my 6.5in speakers up front and my system is complete (until I decide to go ahead and upgrade the head unit too). This subwoofer has left me completely satisfied, and I'd recommend it to anyone.

In fact, my only complaint is that the sub didn't have optional male connectors for the speaker wire so I had to cut / strip the connectors off of the wire that came inside the sub box to attach to the push connectors on the sub. Hardly a serious complaint, but I'll give it 4/5 on features for that, I suppose.

Awesome!

These subs are great! They look amazing! They not only look awesome, they pump out bass like a pro too. A great buy for the value! Not anything amazing, you get what you pay for, but for use slightly below the professional level, this is the way to go.

REDONCULOUS!

OKAY so here it is, amazing, I agree with the foam surround though, bad idea by Pioneer, but other then that my Pioneer TS-W303R sub is in my single cab chev, powered by a whopping 1300 w Kenwood KAC-8152D amplifier! A high powered amp is a must for the best sound quality from this sub.

Great for beginners

I had one of these for the first 12" sub I ever owned. It sounded great but unfortunately I had a little 220 RMS amp and it caught on fire when I was on my way to work. I recommend this sub to anyone on a budget that wants a little more bass in their ride but make sure you have a good enough amp.

Great price looks nice

Had a 400 watt amp hooked up, did an amazing job. then got a Kenwood 1000 watt amp, then blew the sub with in 10 minutes. great value nice looking hits hard. but DONT over power. recommended to anyone :)

Great.

These Pioneers are GREAT for the price. I underestimated them at first, but they pack a punch. I've had very expensive speakers and I have these for now, and I am not disappointed.

Fried Voice Coils in 4 Months

I had these subs for about 4 months, no heavy use hooked up to a Rockford R500-1 Amp (2 subs wired in parallel, so a perfect match, no over powering) and I fried both subs after only 4 months of use. I'm attempting to get replacements under the warranty, since they were not over powered or ever plaed excessively loud. Before they blew, i loved them, but be careful, they might just only last about 4 months.......

Pioneer Subs

I put two of these in a bandpass box with a memphis marine amp giving each 150 rms, and they sounded amazing, they hit hard for the price, the only problem is they get allot of crap for their plastic looking woofer, but they shut people up when they start to move air, great buy I would recommend them to anyone

Pioneer Subwoofer

I just got this subwoofer over the weekend and I would have to say it is a nice subwoofer. I have a 300 watt amp that puts out 150 watts rms and it is perfect for the subwoofer. I would definitely recommend this subwoofer to anyone.

can't go wrong

i have a 1994 ford explorer it has stock JBL door speakers but i added a JVC KD S16 head unit Scosche Amplifier Installation Kit a pioneer GM5400T 760 watt amp and the pioneer TS-W303 i have little to no gain on the amp bass boost on 6 and DAMN the s*** hits hard i was told when i got it if i want to run alittle more power ( already at 380 Bridged ) to slowly work it in. i made the mistake of jumping the amp to 3/4s the power out put as soon as u got my sub in and blow the voice coil in less then 24 hour ( real smart i know ) but the place i got it from exchanged it and no problmes yet i been slowly working it in burping the gain up to normal for a short amount of time but for haveing only $291 tied up in my system it sounds good that i might soon step up the box to a 2 12" sealed box buy a 2nd TS-W303 it pounds hard wit just 1 i am dying to hear my truck wit 2 after steping up the altanator or battary or even both

sony x

I had one of them and smoked it
with a Sony x I am a pro audio installer
If u are to buy one do not over power it !

Great

My friend has two of these in an 01 Chevy Blazer with a 760 watt pioneer amp in a sealed box and its pretty ridiculous. I would highly recommend these subs to anyone.

Boom for the buck

I have one of these in a non ported box with an autotek 1000 watt amp pushing it and it bumps hard. It says 250 rms but I think its a little underrated. These things will really hit and if you have a solid amp and wire it properly, its just awesome. I've had it for about a year now and I haven't been disappointed. I would definitely recommend it especially for its awesome price.

Excellent value

I purchased a set of these speakers along with a deck and amp for my son's first car. They sound great.

goodness

Got one and i'm gettin another one. They are amazing for the price.

Pioneer, cheap, yet effective.

I bought one of these, don't be fooled by the brand name or the plasticy look....lol...in the right box, with the right amp...this thing actually pushes a lot of air for what it is. Great value and durability, the makings of a Pioneer product. I did eventually take it back, but that's because I bought an RF sub so...but still awesome for a local store sub. If anything, this hit lower frequencies than my new sub, and it's half the price...lol..

Great bang for your buck!

One word... awesome!

Great Product

My customer was very happy with the cost and quality.
