Enclosed Subwoofers 101

An enclosed subwoofer is a box with a subwoofer already installed. The advantage to buying an enclosed sub is that the manufacturer made the sub, then designed and built the box as a perfect match, so you'll get the best possible performance. Every enclosed sub has a maximum RMS power handling rating, so pair it with an amp with a similar RMS power rating to get the best performance.

Our take on the Pioneer TS-SWX251

by Jo Greene

Pioneer's TS-SWX251 loaded enclosure offers a space-saving solution for vehicles with limited room for a sub. This rugged enclosure comes preloaded with a shallow-mount TS-SW251 10" sub — at under 6" deep, you can fit it just about anywhere.

Engineers at Pioneer designed this innovative enclosure to face in any direction, so it'll work in multiple configurations. You can mount it facing downward in the trunk of your compact car, and still pile groceries and luggage on top. You can also install this enclosure facing up under a 2nd-row seat, saving valuable cargo space. Or you can mount it behind the seat in your regular cab pickup, like a typical "truck-style" enclosure. Best of all, this sub should fit in the next vehicle you buy, so you can take it with you for killer bass in your new ride.

    Features

    Overview: The Pioneer TS-SWX251 10" Preloaded Shallow-Mount Component Subwoofer Enclosure features a sealed, shallow-mount enclosure with a preloaded 10" composite IMPP cone woofer. The Pioneer TS-SWX251 is rated at 200-watts RMS (800-watts Peak) with a frequency response of 20-114Hz.

    Sealed Enclosure: The Pioneer TS-SWX251 10" Preloaded Shallow-Mount Component Subwoofer Enclosure features heavy-duty construction and a compact design. The sealed enclosure employs a 5/8" MDF board wrapped in black carpet with internal reinforce bracing to ensure durability and strength. Its flat architecture design is perfect for the trunk of your car, the cargo area of your SUV, or behind the seat of your truck. The optimized sealed enclosure has been specially tuned to produce high-performance, powerful, deep and accurate bass.

    10" IMPP Woofer: The Pioneer TS-SWX251 10" Preloaded Shallow-Mount Component Subwoofer Enclosure features a front-firing 10" composite IMPP cone woofer. The preloaded 10" woofer features an air suspension system with a double IMPP cone structure. This Air Suspension System is formed by creating a sealed air-space between the double cones, effectively replacing the typical damper, in order to provide superior design and performance characteristics. This woofer design provides superior compliance linearity, regardless of volume input, for reproducing exceptionally clear, low distortion bass.

    36 oz Magnet: The Pioneer TS-SWX251 10" Preloaded Shallow-Mount Component Subwoofer Enclosure utilizes a 36 oz magnet to help the woofer produce loud and punchy bass.

    Speaker Terminals: The Pioneer TS-SWX251 10" Preloaded Shallow-Mount Component Subwoofer Enclosure features a set of spring-post terminals for connecting 16 to 12-gauge speaker wire. The TS-SWX251 presents a 4-ohm load to your connected amplifier.

    Mounting: The Pioneer TS-SWX251 10" Preloaded Shallow-Mount Component Subwoofer Enclosure includes two metal "L"-shaped brackets and eight 1" self-tapping screws to mount the preloaded enclosure securely in your vehicle.

    Perfect fit in my Camry, hits hard

    Written By Rick, Upstate NY on Friday, May 10, 2013
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Fits like it was made for vertical mounting (i.e. on its side) in the pass-through notch behind the fold-down seats in my 99 Camry. Saved a ton of trunk space over other sub-boxes I have put in there. Really solid bass, and because of the 91 db sensitivity when crossed over at 60 - 80 hz, it will play pretty loud on a 180 W bridged amp. Nice clean bass too - very happy with it, and couldn't fit this car better!
    Pros:
    Perfect fit, good efficiency, lots of solid low bass output on a fairly small amp.
    Cons:
    No grille, I would consider buying a grille if you will trunk mount it.

    Awesome

    This thing is awesome, I matched it to a jvc 5 channel amp and a pioneer 700bt and I can controll the whole deal from my seat and make it whatever I want . Nice clean sound with it set right without being too boomy. If I set it to whale it feels like you getting hit in the back with a bat. Silverado extended cab, mounted upside down between th front and back seats on the hump.
    Pros:
    Great
    Cons:
    Can't think of any

    Pioneer Sub

    Written By Lawrence, Honolulu, HI on Thursday, October 11, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Perfect fit for tight space. I have it under the seat in my Canyon Crew cab and it sounds great given the size of the unit. I'm not one to blow out the windows so it more than fits my needs though if driven this box will pump some serious bass. Tried playing some Cypress Hill pumped up and it was awesome.
    Pros:
    Size, sound, and fitment.
    Cons:
    none for me though if you're hard core and want the car that's four car lengths away to hear then this might not be what you're looking for

    Pioneer TS-SWX251

    Written By tony, McDonough on Wednesday, July 04, 2012
     
    OK so I've had this install for three day and I'm kind of disappointed at low(low) volume it sounds good bass hits good but turn the volume up a little and it just sounds like a good pair of 6X9. I have a Kenwood stereo, replaced my stock speakers with JBL's and a 1000w Power Acoustik amp powering the sub and the two 6x9. I'm hoping that its the amp and not the sub because the sub fits nicely behind my seat in my pickup.
    Pros:
    Space saver
    Cons:
    Not loud, very little bass

    Great Speaker!!

    Written By blaketg, Punta Gorda, FL on Wednesday, April 25, 2012
     
    What a fantastic buy. Powering it with the Sound Ordnance M-2100. It's the perfect combination at 200w RMS at 4 ohms. I have it in a crew cab 09 Silverado, and it fits perfectly under the back seat, doesn't take up much room, and sounds super clean.

    Great product!

    Written By Yann, Richmond, VA on Wednesday, March 28, 2012
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Great product! I bought this product about a month ago and have had time to break it in, and I really enjoy it. I own a 2-door jeep wrangler so space vs. functionality was a major factor. I have it installed next to the swing gate of my trunk and this thing bumps. It was more than I expected so I am definitely happy with it. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who is looking for a subwoofer that will be heard from the inside of a house as you pass by, but this does more than the job for me. I listen to all types of music and it makes a huge difference compared to the polk Db3 speakers I installed the year before. It fills out the bass in my speaker system and more. My only draw back (and this applies mainly to soft top vehicles or convertibles) is that if it gets water on it, then the box may begin to expand and eventually cause the subwoofer to malfunction. Conclusion: great buy for the price. I'm a college student so this was right in my price range.
    Pros:
    Great sound, price, and space saver
    Cons:
    Can break due to moisture (rare, but a possibility for convertibles and soft-top vehicles)

    Nice sub with good clean bass

    Written By Dr. Bill, Thunder Bay Ontario on Thursday, December 29, 2011
     
    Installed one of these in my son's 2003 Sonoma. Not a big truck so the compact size was a plus. Used a 300 watt Rockford Fosgate amp to drive it, and replaced the factory speakers with Pioneer units. With a JVC head unit, the sound is fantastic. The Pioneer sub makes nice clean bass without being obnoxious, (although it will do obnoxious too if you want to crank it up.)
    Pros:
    Compact size but delivers good clean bass.
    Cons:
    No grille over the speaker means you have to be careful where you install it.

    Pioneer Power

    Written By richajam, LV NV on Friday, December 02, 2011
     
    12 thumbs up! When 2 of these are paried with RF Punch 400-4 amp in a 2011 F150 SuperCrew, these kick hard and clean- and they fit the truck nicely under back seat without any customizations to box or truck.
    Pros:
    Small and Compact/thin box- strong speaker with excellent resonse/ tight base and low-lows.

    Great Sound

    I am very pleased with this Sub. I paired it with a Kenwood KAC5204 amp and quality of sound is just what I was looking for. Strongly recommend it if space is a priority. Got free cable kit from Crutchfield (had to mention that price at amazon was lower). installation was easy and took a couple of hours.
