Pioneer TSW3004SPL 12" SPL Review

Overall Rating

Amazingly cheap sub for the quality and bass.

The enclosure needs to be spot on to get the most out of these so don't scrimp on the box.

The Pioneer TSW subs are brilliant. I went through a number of different subs in my time and have researched a lot about differing brands and performance. I ended up taking a chance on these as I was looking to buy Resonant Engineering (RE) subs. But I couldn't justify spending £4-500! on one! These were only £90 and they produce more that enough bass for me and i'm a bit of a bass head! Remember, these are true 1000w rms, so that means you need an amp that will run at 2000w rms @ 1ohm if you're running 2 of them, I have a Hifonix Brutus Amp that produces a fraction over that and they suit each other brilliantly. The build quality is brilliant and have stood some punishment! I got a custom box built to my sub's specs and I would emphaises that a good box is important. These subs come with guidlines on how to build boxes and various designs, spend the extra money and do it properly.
