TS-WX010A Under-Seat Subwoofer – 160W Max, Pre-Loaded, Built-in Amp for Easy Bass Upgrade, Enclosure Included, Amp Included, High-Level Input, Works with Most Factory or aftermarket radios

Honestly I was pretty blown away by the strength of this guy. I have an extended cab Tacoma so I don’t have a whole lot of cabin to fill up, I just recently upgraded my door speakers and tweeters but was missing a lot of low end, and space is a premium. That being said, I didn’t need to rattle the windows off, nor did I need it to play loud enough to have parties in parking lots. For my application it checked all those boxes. It was dead simple to wire in, there are five wires. Power and ground, left and right speakers, and the subwoofer to head unit remote. For power, I got a set of nilight fuse taps, wired that directly to the yellow power wire. I tapped into an unused switched-on fuse. I checked with an automotive probe light to see which ones were always hot, and which were switched, I didn’t want the sub to be an extra drain on the battery (although this speaker seems to be pretty low drain). I preferred this to wiring directly to the battery, that’s always a hike to route it from the battery through the firewall. This was much easier and much quicker. Or lazier, but hey, took me about an hour start to finishFor the speakers, I got two RCA male to bare wire, two ten foot lengths. I vampire tapped them to the positive and negative wires for the rear right and rear left speakers. For the ground, I wrapped the black wire around the self tapping screw I used to mount the Pioneer TS to the floor under the passenger seat. And for the blue subwoofer remote wire, I didn’t have the wire on my head unit any more because I didn’t see a subwoofer in my future, so I just vampire tapped it into the yellow wire right behind the sub. Then I hid all those wires. When I fired it up I had the volume on 1 and it was too much base. I immediately dialed back the frequency and gain. Frequency is about 1/2 and gain is about 1/3, that gives me a nice rounded sound until about 60% of max volume, then for the remaining 40% it’s pretty thumpy, but the windows don’t rattle and it doesn’t feel cheap. Great purchase, worth every penny, easy install, fits right under my seats, only takes up half the space under my seat actually, and it sounds great.

Installed today. Installation notes / Other things to buy: 1. You will need an RCA cable splitter 2 into 1 likely 2. You will need a fuse tap 3. You will need to be aware of what fuse is accessory power, what cable on your head unit is power on, and where to ground Installed in my beater buick century. I had previously installed a new head unit and updated speakers. No separate amplifier, as I picked speakers that were within power handling ranges that made sense with the HU (JVC KW-56 BT, baseline 5 1/2 infinity front, and... JBL 6x9s). Wanted a little more oomph, did not want a ton. Did not want to deal with running power to battery or pay someone to do it. This subwoofer has a low power draw of under 5 amps, and the instructions (and confirmed by crutchfield) note to fuse tap. I had no idea anything out there was made for this. It's small compared to the underseat options, but i took a chance. Honestly i'm pretty well blown away by how much it adds to the sound. It's very much a sound quality addition to your car. I mounted under the dash, inbetween the passenger and driver footwells. With the crossover set to approx. 90hz, and the gain set to approximately 2'oclock, its fantastic. Classic 90s hip hop, thrash metal, metalcore, EDM... it all sounds really, really good. I've had full systems with multiple amps before and pretty discerning ear for car audio. I can't speak for how good this would sound mounted under your seat. But pretty confident that if you put this in a car with the same goal I had, to get more sound quality on the bass and hear the lower ranges, And mount it in the passenger footwell or similar area...you're going to be very happy with this. Yes, 200 dollars is a lot of money for something this small. but the sound quality will absolutely surprise you.

I am a casual hobby audio enthusiast. I care about my sound spectrum. I also care about my car space, accessibility, and utility. At age 30 I am no longer interested in having two 12” Subwoofer’s running 500w RMS making my ears bleed. Enter this guy. It’s easy to install, hits well and sounds good for its price tag, probably hitting 30 well. Below 30 it drops off quickly, though it says it’s rated for 20hz. I used speaker level and not RCA’s which make it not quite as good, but it works for my purposes. NOTE: The gain in an SUV is way too loud. I have to have the gain set at basically 15%, with a minimal amount of boost hitting around 45-50 hz. I’m happy with this sub. I wish it hit 25-29hz much louder, and it probably would if the box was twice the size. Alas, that’s not the point of this sub. Metal and Electronic music sounds great. Rap is ‘ok’ but would be much better with a 12” with a bigger box. This thing has very little wires to connect with- do NOT buy a huge wiring kit. Lastly, I’ve had a few hiccups. I have had it cut out a few times, randomly, for like 5-10 seconds, the blue light flickers a little, and then stabilizes. I’m not pushing it hard. And it’s totally random. It is either the bracket OR a ground connnection. Any advice would be appreciated.

First, the cons: - I know this may seem needlessly picky to some, but when I'm expecting a 350 watt RMS unit and open it to see a 20 amp fuse and 16 gauge power wires, I become concerned that I've just thrown away money and something is probably going to melt. This forces me (and I imagine anyone else with even a basic understanding of electricity) to investigate... fortunately I found according to Pioneer's own specifications this unit consumes a maximum of 13 amps at 14.4 volts. That's a theoretical maximum of 187.2 watts. Of course there will be heat losses and the RMS will be even lower, so really we're probably talking 100-120 watts of real RMS power at the speaker. Translation: Nothing's going to melt because the marketing team at Pioneer is exaggerating the power of this unit by 3x. *sigh* Wouldn't it be great if manufacturers could realize we're not idiots and simply telling the truth would do wonders to promote trust in their brand? - A small thing, but they could have included a few wire nuts or even a few barrel crimp connectors to help with the installation. I luckily had some but for a few cents they'd save some people a trip to the hardware store. - Not really a 'con', but worth mentioning: This unit doesn't come with the stuff you'll need to power the amp or get the signals to it. If you don't already have it, be sure to also order a well-reviewed 10 gauge amp wiring kit (Note: 10 gauge is MORE than large enough - you could get away with 16 gauge if they made them) The pros: - Box is solidly built. Carpet is clean-looking and well-adhered. It weighs 23 pounds - so not too heavy to move but stays put nicely. The trapezoidal shape keeps it from tipping if you don't want to bolt it down. - Speaker is nicely mounted and the grill seems tough enough to stand up to groceries and other random stuff rolling around in my trunk (2003 Honda Civic 2dr) - Very nice that it comes with heavy-duty mounting brackets. I chose not to use them because I want to be able to move it for now, but I'm definitely saving them. - Input/control panel is well made and appointed with all the adjustments I could need (including a phase reverse switch - a nice touch) - The remote control knob is great for adjusting the level of bass output. I didn't think I'd use it but I adjust it all the time - so much nicer than messing with level menus on the head unit or pulling over and popping the trunk if I want to switch genres! - Very nice sound quality - consistent with what I expected from the 'old' Pioneer brand. Of course it helps to have a good head unit, but properly set up it's very pleasing. Even though it's a sealed box it has plenty of punch. A nice wide range (I'd guess about 35 Hz to 140 Hz) with a rich sound throughout. There is a dropoff below 30 Hz, but if you're worried about being that low you're probably not even looking at this unit anyway. - I like that it's quite small. I know it's not ideal for producing huge sound but the engineers did a really nice job of getting totally adequate sound out of such a small enclosure. As a dad, I actually need free trunk space so I'm very happy with the compromise. - It's pretty darn loud. EVEN THOUGH it's only 120 watts, it's plenty. No, you're not going to win any competitions or impress the bass-heads, but for inside the car, it's enough to make the average person uncomfortable. Your mirrors will easily shake and you'll hear some rattling outside the car if you really crank it up, but it probably won't turn (many) heads. In summary, for the price (I paid $125), I don't think it can be beat. It's a very well matched set of components - and a fantastic supplement to a stock system that will add tremendous depth to your listening experience no matter what kind of music you enjoy. It's plenty to impress any 'casual' passenger... Upon hearing it my friend's first words were, "Woah... this is amazing! Can you do this to my car?" My only gripe is the false marketing and the stress it caused me, so minus one star for that. Otherwise, I'm super happy and would definitely recommend.

Bought it last may it stop working in oct of last year so worked for a few months the pioneer does not pay to ship it back and wants me to pay 125$ to ship it back like why would I and it’s broke already! Crazy thing the day it stop working I thought it was to loud so I turned it down later that day it just cut off and stayed off.

This thing is worth the money! I love a little bump, I installed this in my son's 2019 Equinox (SUV) and it's nice! Good bass and the built in amp makes it easy to remove if needed and the overall size doesn't take up too much space. For a single Sub, this hits nicely!

I had a friend who works in a stereo shop install this behind the driver's seat of my 1988 Lincoln Town Car about 2 years ago. It's in the floor well in front of the back seat with the speaker facing the rear of the car, wedged in nicely and not going anywhere. This thing hits hard and sounds great, though you can definitely hear the bass drop off in some electronic tracks (Pendulum likes to drop to sub-30Hz bass in some tracks for example). This sub sounds fine for dubstep and metal, but trance and rap can be a bit much for it at high volumes - anything with a beating drum (boom-boom-boom) really. I keep my JVC head unit at 24-27 volume usually. Anything with thumping bass is kept on the lower end to avoid distorted bass. Once you adjust the sub, it probably doesn't hurt to direct the sub 125Hz bass away from your speakers since the sub is handling it, if your head unit allows you to do that - I just feel it made a better sound stage over all for my listening. I've never had any issues with this subwoofer - no "circuit protect" cut offs like the older Infinity BassLink subs are prone to, no defects. Very pleased with my purchase.

I think this is the 3rd review in 10 years I have written. This thing is honestly. Amazing for its size. I cant express it enough how small it is and how hard it hits for how small it is. On a 03 durango it fits inside the compartment where the jack and access to the spare is. Without getting of the way of anything. It sounds better than the MTX custom box that was made at one point many many moons ago. It also gives me back the space above the compartment. I carried a kicker 10 inch powered on top for years and it was a pain in the a** to unhook and hook again if I need to carry stuff, more than a bag of bread and milk. As far as my vehicle...this did the trick. I am actually considering buying a second one and putting it next to this one. It will fit...would that be too much base?? Well find out.

Montato sotto il sedile di un alfa 159, funziona benissimo. Non fa tremare i vetri, ma è esattamente quello che cercavo, qualcosa di estremamente compatto (visto il poco spazio nella mia macchina) e con un ottima qualità. Riempie perfettamente le basse frequenze che non riuscivo ad ascoltare con l'impianto originale. Anche se le casse di serie non sono perfette, la scena che si crea in macchina con questo piccolo upgrade merita tanto. Ps. il subwoofer consuma poca corrente, difatti il cavo di alimentazione è abbastanza piccolo, per quanto mi riguarda è un esagerazione attaccarlo alla batteria, io l'ho cablato ad una fusibiliera sottochiave che avevo installato in precedenza.

Great compact sub, easy to fit with limited knowledge. Fits well in a Suzuki Jimny

Have two of these bought for kids vehicles one has been installed for a few years now Was quite impressed with the bass that this puts out it thumps pretty good for the price and amperage Your not gonna win competitions with this but if your looking for the simplistic and most affordable way to put some bass in your car or truck then this is the unit for you has good bass for the price and value seems to be good too

Este subwoofer ha quedado muy bien en un sentra 2017. Lo he colocado en la cajuela ya que al hacer pruebas de su ubicación; me he dado cuenta que debajo del asiento entra muy justo y la música se satura de bajos aún ecualizandolo. En la cajuela se equilibra mejor el sonido. Según mis oídos claro está. Si se buscan bajos estruendosos y totalmente fuera de control como muchos acostumbran. Definitivamente no es el subwoofer para adquirir. Para eso pues vaya corriendo a comprar una caja muy grande que apenas deje espacio en la cajuela y ¡sea FELIZ! Por el contrario; si se busca un complemento equilibrado para el set de medios y bocinas traseras del automóvil: ESTE ES EL CORRECTO. El mando de Gain y rango de frecuencias que incluye el subwoofer me ha gustado bastante. Los dos controles giratorios los he puesto un poco antes de llegar a la mitad de su recorrido y pienso que van perfectos en ese rango. Para mi gusto. Éste subwoofer incluso queda un poquito sobrado en prestaciones. Si en algún momento quisiera exagerar un poco los bajos, sin problemas me los proporciona. Repito: No es un subwoofer para hacer retumbar de manera descontrolada el auto empero: ¡Quedé gratamente sorprendido de su capacidad! Definitivamente fue una compra acertada ya que iba a comprar el modelo Ts-wx400da que tiene mas potencia. Los 50 watts RMS del TS-WX140DA bastan y sobran para mi.

Très bien pour équiper une petite voiture où la place manque pour un gros caisson de basses. Un bon complément pour des haut-parleurs de porte manquant de graves.
