Audio Review of Pioneer Premier TS-W2501D2 10" Champion Series PRO Subwoofer

Overview
This review from someone who has actually used this product. The Pioneer Premier TS-W2501D2 Champion series PRO 10" Subwoofer was designed as a 10" SPL subwoofer. It has a unique technology that allows it to be placed in a very small box and perform very well. The subs are designed to handle 800 watts of power nominally. The terminals are all on one side and can fit 8 awg wire. These subs are dual 2 ohm, but there is also a dual 4 ohm voice coil subwoofers available as well.

Price
The MSRP on this sub is around $300 per sub, but I have found it for $150 at multiple places.

My Personal Experience
This sub hits very hard, and really low. I have experience with many different subs, and I personally think this is the best budget friendly SPL 10" sub for the money. I would recommend to anyone. I have 2 of them in a ported box tuned to 34 hz, and these things slam. They also sound very good too. I have not been dissappointed with the sound quality I have been getting from these subs. I am pushing them with a kicker 2500.1 at 2 ohms. I regularly feed them over 800 watts a piece and I rarely hear them distort or even struggle with the power. They also fit in incredibly small boxes. I put these subs in a ported box because I like the ability I have to tune the box to a certain note, but they are designed to do very well in sealed boxes. Pioneer recommends placing these subs in .35-.7 cubic feet of airspace for a sealed enclosure which is incedibly small for an SPL sub. The only downside to this sub is the amount of air it moves. With an SD of .0313 and an Xmax of 11 millimeters, this sub only has a VD of .3443. That means that it does not move as much air as other comparable subs. I think it puts out great tone and great sound, but I wish it could push a little more air. I do plan on buying a couple more of these subs and putting four of them in a box. I have heard this sub reverse mounted, and it sounded and looked really good.
