Pioneer TS-SWX251 10" Flat Subwoofer with Enclosure 800 Watts Review
Pioneer's TS-SWX251 10-inch flat subwoofer with enclosure is designed for compact spaces, such as behind a pick-up seat, in an SUV or minivan cargo area, or under rear seats. A lay-flat design and downfiring sub deliver serious low-end in even the most cramped installation. Maximum power handling 800 watts.
Thanks to its innovative enclosure design, the TS-SWX251 enclosure can be installed freely in the cabin or luggage area for optimal utilization of space. The compact space-saving dimensions also make it easy to install the subwoofer in a variety of trucks- standard-cab, extended-cab, or crew-cab.
Enjoy deep big bass from a small enclosure. In order to create a subwoofer that is three and a quarter inches deep, Pioneer had to develop revolutionary subwoofer technology. A traditional subwoofer uses the spider design to keep the voice coil of the speaker aligned while it moves. This type of set-up can become soft over time degrading the subwoofer's performance. Pioneer created a patent-pending air suspension system that locks air between a main cone and a drive cone. The cones move together in unison, with the locked-in air behaving like a spring. The dual-cone structure is a spider-less design that maintains better sound linearity, and reliability even after many of hours of hard use. The pressure from the trapped air results in a consistent bass response across a wide frequency range. The result is a tight, precise movement with powerful and clean bass output.
Traditional subwoofer terminals are mounted horizontally or vertically. These mounts force wires to be bent to fit which can be difficult if low gauge high performance wires are used. The Pioneer shallow subwoofer's patent-pending, angled push terminals make it easy to connect speaker wires. The straighter connection saves space and makes installation easier.
By directing the subwoofer diaphragm downward, the TS-SWX251 radiates bass with superior efficiency for richer, deeper low-frequency sound regardless of the enclosure's installed position.
