This is a great sub and expecially for the price i bought it and made my own ported box and it hits good! i have a memphis pr1000 watt amp pushing it. i made the port about 9 inches long so it hits the lows awesome!! and the highs arent so bad either.definately worth the money.
my girl has 2 of these in her 98 accord in a ported box with a power acoustic d4000/1 and the sound quality is verry good. but the amp is dirty. @ .5% THD so i mean im sure if she upgraded to a rockford power series t2000.. these subs will slap. they pick up lows amazingly .. p.s. u will be surprized by the size..
I have 4 of these in individual sealed box used to have them in ported box if u want true potential put them in sealed nite and day difference they pound hard exactly 151.6db hard
i had 4 of these sub in my chevy and they were really bootie cant handle real power had tem on a 3000 rms amp they sounded like bs sorry pioneer lovers
i hav 1 of thins in a car an it pounding real good. it playin in a proted box, 2.3 cubic feet an i built it to specks at 10hz. u really feelin the bass. runnin it with a 3000w rms amp.
I have thre of these in a slot ported box and i have been on top of the game so far in my neighborhood, with a three thousand watt power acostik class d amp pushing them. But dont sleep I'm quad-droopling the sound, I just ordered nine more and I'm adding three more 3000db power acoustik amps
i have one of these and a coustom plastic box powered by a 2000w amp and its making my roof flex without distortion. cant be beat for the price.
i had the sub for one week and is an bad burning smell comeing from the port when i turn the volume up .powered by an alpine m1000 both amp and sub is an 1000w rms why im i getting that smell
Ive been using pioneer for a while now but these subs are definitely worth the money. Clear and Loud bass. I have a pair powered by the Pioner Premier SPL-2000 . Pushing 2000 RMS and they want more
My 2 10 inch kicker comp vx's the loudest round subs that kicker make smelled like that for 2 months then they blew up. You must break in all subs for 40 hours. Or else your voice coils fry, they seperate apart.
i bought 2 of those and was amazed by the size. they straight pound the F*** outta the trunk.. Thank you
I have 2 n my 86 cutlass n a dual v tec box. They r being pushed by 3000 class d watts. These subs pound hard as hell. Even with 3000 watts it seems like they still beg 4 more. Everytime da bass hits, my roof and quarter panels flex,and the trunk shakes n vibrates like the subs r tryna excape. incredible earth shakin low bass. I love em
Very nice high quality sub. Even though I only had if for two weeks, it's easily at the top my list for subs. I think if Pioneer would lose the plastic trim ring on the front it would probably sound badass power mounted, but still impressed everyone as is.
bought 2 of these with a soundstorm cr5000 i could have a better amp but these things freakin pound. one of the loudest subs ive heard. people dont believe me when i say i only have 2 12's
I have one of these in my 2001 F150 supercrew with a fosgate 1000 mono amp and this is worth the money only thing I paid more here in the bahamas for it but it slams hard want another one though.
what the hell why am I gettinga burning smell form this sub, i just rpelaced my alpine type R that was making ahorrible burning smell and with this sub, it doesnt even sound much different..Really its not much louder, but it smells just like my type R when you listen to it longer than 10 mins, I have a spl premier class d, 1200 watt amp running at, @ 2ohms.. In a ported box..Any helpp!??
I bought 2 of these sub with an Power Acoustik BAMF-4000/1D for my 2005 nissan altima. These sub do kick harddd, u can hear me coming from 3 blocks away i do recommend this product to anyone who is serious about bass.
This is to help all those ppl getting the burning smell... This clearly means well one of a couple things. Either your putting more RMS to them than they can handle, thats the most common problem. They say they can handle 1000RMS put 800 or less to them and that should help. Second thing could be no air to the subwoofer. These subs may be meant for a ported box so put them in one and that could also stop your problem... Another thing is that they may just be shitty subwoofers, but i doubt it, Pioneer makes very good equipment and i have heard nothing but good stuff about these woofers....
i got two of the suckers in my 2002 jeep liberty, i suggest getting your box built not boughtin from a store, sounds better that way. but i do get that burning smell too! but i'd say getting some Digital Designs subs they pound a lot harder then these by far! this guy in watertown sd. has two twelves in a s10, he beat a guy who had 4 18's in an escalade!
The burning smell is the apoxy on the voice coil heating when the power from the amp gets dirty be it from voltage,low impedance or let's face it,a dirty amp plus a combo of these things. Those of you how are running these sub with a power acoustik, boss, Kole ect. These are cheap dirty amps especially at 1 ohm loads. These amps really put out 6 percent distortion at this load wich is audible, and high distortion cause the sub to heat up because voice coil is vibrating side to side while going up and down causing friction. Distortion, heat then DEATH!!!!!! There's nothing wrong with this sub!
First woofer and probably my last. My friends all had dual 12" subs with moderate rms so I figured I would get 1 12" with high rms wattage. Great sounding from inside my car "my trunk rattles a ton". When you get the package for this and lift it the first time you know it is going to be of great Pioneer quality. Shipping weight was close to 30 pounds! Overall great sub, worth the money but sadly is sitting in my room being unused because my pioneer stereo was stolen =(, people who stole it weren't smart enough to realize there were amp wires plugged into it so the sub is safe. Sound quality is great, price is right, don't get a junky amp though. If you want a high quality sub it is worthless without a good amp.
I have never had a burning smell from any of mine and I've only moved three sets now. I have two twelves in a ported box running off an Alpine MRP m2000 at 2800 RMS at 2 ohms and still never get a burning smell and I found them for like 8 hours straight sometimes by far my favorite Subs in this class aside from Alpine Type X which is spec-wise basically the same but these ones are better rated and still my favorite these things pretty much shake my doors off you literally see my doors vibrating trying to open when I got these suckers turned up to 20
