PSW Series Key Features

Floor Coupled Port

All woofers (except for PSW10) feature a floor coupled downward firing port. This configuration brings you maximum bass impact while keeping the front of the cabinet as low profile as possible.

Klippel Optimized Woofer

By using a state-of-the-art Klippel Distortion Analyzer, Polk engineers were able to optimize the woofer's motor structure, voice coil alignment and suspension bringing you the best possible performance even at extreme listening levels.

Dynamic Balance

A Polk perfected method of analyzing a speaker's microscopic behavior with laser Interferometry. Polk engineers can tune out unwanted resonance and distortion with the right combination of materials, geometry and construction techniques. This brings you pure, distortion free sound.

Multiple Hook Up Options

LFE, line and speaker level inputs, and speaker level inputs allow easy connection to any system.

Intelligent Amplifier

PSW Series subwoofers use intelligent amplifiers. This means, not only can they put gobs of power to your woofer, they'll use very little power at low volumes or standby mode.

PSW111 is best matched for RM and SurroundBar series or compact speakers from other manufacturers. You can put it practically anywhere and you won't believe the punch such a small subwoofer packs. That's why cnet says "the deep bass was impressively deep for a sub as small as the PSW111." You can even play hide and seek with it. All woofers feature a floor coupled downward firing port. This configuration brings you maximum bass impact while keeping the front of the cabinet as low profile as possible. Polk home subwoofers are provided with CEA-2010 "Loud and Low" Spec. Instead of using the usual "inches and watts" method, we've leveled the playing field so you can easily and accurately compare the performance of different subwoofers measured the same way.

Pioneer TS-W3002D4 12 In. Champion Series PRO Subwoofer with 3500 Watts

Pioneer TS-W3002D4 12 In. Champion Series PRO Subwoofer with 3500 Watts Review



Pioneer TS-W3002D4 12 In. Champion Series PRO Subwoofer with 3500 Watts Feature

  • 12-inch Champion Series PRO subwoofer with 3500 Watts maximum (1000 nominal) power handling
  • Basalt/carbon fiber reinforced IMPP cone with fiber-woven aramid surround
  • Dual 4-ohm voice coil for 2 or 8 ohm operation
  • 20 Hz to 150 Hz frequency response with 90 dB sensitivity
  • 188.8 Millimeter mounting depth
~Pioneer's TS-W3002D4 subwoofers are designed to produce powerful bass. Just take a look at the super-heavy-duty construction, designed to handle up to 3,500 watts max. Double-stacked magnets deliver higher power, and a step-up radial surround offers superior control and long excursions. Pioneer used a constructed cast-aluminum basket for this sub--add in a patented IMPP cone and you've got a monster sub that can handle whatever you want to throw at it.

Pioneer Champion Series PRO Subwoofers

Powerful by Design
Champion Series PRO subwoofers deliver incredible musicality heightened by booming bass--all in a versatile, compact design. Inspired by Pioneer's strong SPL heritage, Champion PRO subwoofers deliver a remarkably powerful, accurate, and clear low-end that will transform your in-car audio experience.

Air Suspension System
Boasting big bass power, the patented air suspension technology of the Champion Series PRO subwoofer makes it a hard-hitting performer. The innovative architecture of the chamber creates a spring-like effect that compresses air, enabling the speaker to fit a 10-inch enclosure while delivering 12-inch bass sound.

Stealthy Installation
Masterfully engineered to deliver maximum sound in a minimal enclosure space, the Champion Series PRO subwoofer is designed to fit a variety of spaces. From under the front seats and behind the back seats, to inside doors and under the dash, your install can be customized to fit your needs.

Built to Last
The Champion Series PRO subwoofer combines innovative technology with top quality materials to consistently deliver superior performance. This subwoofer houses a three-layer, wide-roll, fiber-woven radial surround that provides phenomenal power handling with minimal distortion. The enduring strength of this subwoofer comes from its aluminum die-cast chassis, double stacked magnets, patented air suspension system, and rigid lightweight IMPP cone.



TS-W3002D4 Features

Air Suspension System
For its revolutionary 3.25 inch deep Shallow Subwoofer, Pioneer created an Air Suspension system effective within a 70% smaller-than-previous enclosure that locks air for a spring-like effect between main and drive cones moving in unison. The result is consistently clear, powerful, wide-ranging bass response. The subwoofer's dual cone structure maintains better sound linearity and reliability after hours of hard use than conventional subwoofers with "spider" structures to keep the voice coil aligned. This incredible technology is applied to this new generation of high output, high performance subwoofers.

Double-Stack Magnet with Double-Stack Top Plate
To produce the tremendous magnetic energy we envisioned for this sub, we employed double-stacked magnets, weighing a hefty 110oz, and a double-stacked top plate above them. This design ensures positive, powerful control of the voice coil during those long excursions--and it's one reason you can ring up those high SPL numbers.

Wide-Roll 3-Layer Fiber Radial Surround
A sub's surround plays a key role in a speaker's performance. In order for bass response to be clear and tight, the surround has to respond evenly around its entire circumference without flexing or puckering, even at high volume levels. That's why Pioneer created a surround consisting of two layers of urethane with a layer of interwoven fiber between them. It's strong, stable, and it reduces distortion. In addition, the wider-than-normal design provides a long, linear excursion for excellent control and heavy-duty durability.

Interlaced Basalt/Carbon Fiber Reinforced IMPP Cone
To ensure that you get more natural bass, Pioneer incorporated their new Basalt fiber technology into their shallow subwoofers. The volcanic-rock fibers create a cone that is lightweight, rigid, well damped, stable in temperature extremes, and more . In short, this bass really rocks.

Cast Aluminum Basket
Designed from scratch by Pioneer, this one-piece aluminum basket assembly holds the motor assembly, cone, and magnet structure securely in place. The benefits of this design: reduced internal stress, superior damping, and increased magnetic efficiency.

Dual Voice Coil
The TS-W3002D2/D4 provides two voice coils, each either at dual 2 or dual 4 ohms. So you can use a low-impedance amp to produce much bigger, much more powerful bass. More options, more power: that's what DVC is all about. The Bridging Adapter is included for an easy Single Voice Coil hookup. It becomes a Single 4 Ohm or Single 8 Ohm with Bridging Adapter for ultimate flexibility for use with modern mono amplifiers

Add Newly Designed Spoke Grilles
We also recommend covering up your subwoofer with the UD-G308 . This stylish spoke grille is a must add-on when building a system and gives the look of pure professionalism.

Pioneer TS-W303R 12" 4-Ohm Subwoofer

Pioneer TS-W303R 12" 4-Ohm Subwoofer Review



Pioneer TS-W303R 12" 4-Ohm Subwoofer Feature

  • Power Handling: Peak 1200 Watts
  • Power Handling: RMS 250 Watts
  • IMPP Composite And Paper Cone Woofer
  • Double Cone Design With Reinforcement Nodes
The 12-inch TS-W303R handles an impressive 1200 watts max. (250 watts nominal power), and features Pioneer's extremely strong and lightweight IMPP Composite Cone Woofer, for improved sensitivity and reduced distortion.

Pioneer's Champion Series Subs

Superior Sound and Savings
Pioneer Champion Series subwoofers give you more bass for your budget. Delivering up to 1500 watts of exceptionally powerful thumping bass, this subwoofer enables you to build a great system at an affordable price.

Powerful Performance
Champion Series subwoofers boast Pioneer's legendary design and reliability. Constructed with the highest-quality materials, including a rugged IMPP cone that handles loud volume and high temperatures, the Champion Series is built to last.

Installation Flexibility
To allow for greater flexibility and easy installation, all Champion Series speaker terminals have been placed on one side of the subwoofer rather than both sides like conventional subwoofers.



TS-W303R Features

Lightweight Composite IMPP Cone
IMPP is a standard for subwoofer cones, as it means a cone that is lightweight, rigid, well damped, and stable in temperature extremes.

Urethane Surround
A sub's surround plays a key role in its overall performance. In order for bass response to be clear and tight, the surround has to respond evenly around its entire circumference without flexing or puckering, even at high volume levels. That's why Pioneer uses urethane, which is strong and stable, allowing plenty of speaker excursion and reducing distortion.

Six-Layer Voice Coil
The six-layer, long voice coil of this sub allows for more power handling.

Spring-Compression Binding Posts
Why does Pioneer use Spring-Compression Binding Posts, instead of standard speaker wire terminals? So your speaker wire NEVER shakes loose due to vibration (either from the road or from your music). When you insert the wire, the connector keeps a constant pressure on it. And it won't let go. These binding posts will accept wire as large as 8-gauge.

Add Newly Designed Spoke Grilles
Pioneer also recommends covering up your subwoofer with the UD-G308. This stylish spoke grille is a must add-on when building a system and gives the look of pure professionalism.
