12-Inch Shallow Step Up S4 Subwoofer

This 12-inch shallow subwoofer handles 1500 watts max., 400 watts nominal power, and delivers deep bass with top-notch sound quality thanks to features like Pioneer's extremely strong and lightweight Interlaced Basalt/Carbon Fiber Reinforced IMPP Cone. Pioneer's Shallow Series Subs Lean and Mean The Pioneer Shallow Series subwoofer derives its big bass sound from its innovative design. Although only 3-1/4 inches thick, the Shallow Series uses state-of-the-art, patented air suspension technology to create a tight spring of pressure that delivers a wide-ranging bass response. The result is a radically thin subwoofer that fits a variety of enclosures and gives your system accurate, powerful, and satisfying bass. "ib-FLAT" Known as the "flat" subwoofer, the ib-FLAT name is derived from the speaker's two most outstanding characteristics. The "i" stands for intelligent design and describes the cutting-edge air-suspension technology that gives the speaker its remarkable size and strength. "b FLAT" refers to its ability to accurately and easily play 29.135 Hertz, the sound of the lowest black key on the piano and one of the most difficult to reproduce. Musical and robust, the ib-FLAT boasts an amazing range, enabling you to hear each performance on a grand scale. Install Anywhere The sleek design and compact size of Pioneer Shallow Series subs enables you to perform great custom installations. The Shallow Series plays perfectly in both tight and hidden spaces, providing you with the same booming bass performance of a regular subwoofer. Whether hidden or seen, the big bass sound of these versatile speakers will definitely get you noticed. TS-SW3001S4 Features Interlaced Basalt/Carbon Fiber Reinforced IMPP Cone To ensure that you get more natural bass, we've incorporated out new Basalt fiber technology into our shallow subwoofers. The volcanic-rock fibers create a cone that is lightweight, rigid, well damped, stable in temperature extremes, and more environmentally friendly. In short, this bass really rocks. 3-Layer Radial 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 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. 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 Protect your subwoofer with the UD-G308 grille. This stylish spoke grille is a must add-on when building a system and gives the look of pure professionalism. This 12-inch shallow subwoofer handles 1500 watts. Click to enlarge.

Reviews

I recent purchased this woofer, built my own box to 1 cubic foot of air, and wired it to a 2 channel bridged 1400 watt amp. This set-up sounded great! alot of Spl for such a small woofer. However i purchased it for 105.99, and now 2 weeks later the same exact model for 219.99? Whats up with that. I was looking to expand to two of these woofers.

This sub works awesome in my 2010 Toyota Crew Max. The only problem I found was finding a box slim enough to fit in my truck. If you purchase this sub, go ahead and purchase the box suggested.

I have used the preveous generation Shallow Pioneer subs in the past with great success (the 10" one sounds better than the 12" on bytheway) but this new version disapointed me. I calculated the Theil/Small parameters for a Total System Q of just under 9 for a box volume of .9 cu feet. The F3 should be about 35 Hz. I Built a very heavily reenforced box but the sub has a grundgy sound like the magnetic structure lacked precision. It was loud enough and went down low enough but wasn't very clean. Oh well. Back to Infinity.

This thing is small, only takes less then a square foot of air space and puts out great sound!!! I built a custom fiberglass box to put this under the back seat of my 2008 Dodge Ram quad cab, so that I don't lose seating space, and it is PERFECT!!! I only have on sub in my truck, and this thing shakes your chest!!! Everyone that gets in my truck that does not know it is there, is pleasantly surprised when they hear it. It has some killer bass, and it will rattle the windows, which is exactly what I was going for!!! I highly recomend this thing if you have a small amount of space and want some killer base.

Good sound for the money in a beautiful and shallow package. I have it in a sealed .75 cf fiberglass enclosure, running off a 1200 peak watt mono amp and it handles it just fine. I've heard 12" traditional deep subs that don't sound as good as this one. The response and articulation are impressive. This sub can handle the extreme lows of around 20hz! Cosmetically, it's a good looking sub. It would look great in a clear or windowed enclosure. The back of the sub is curved smoothly and looks nice.
