What's a component sub and why would I want one?

A component sub is simply a speaker that's designed to reproduce bass once it's installed in a compatible enclosure. Think about the impact of a movie soundtrack in a big theater or even in your own home HDTV setup. A component sub can add the same kind of power to the music in your car. And a car sub is not all about the boom that you hear on a street corner (although that's cool too) - you can pair a component sub with your choice of enclosure to get bass just the way you like it, from tight and punchy to fat and loose. And once you experience music in your car with a well-tuned subwoofer, you'll never go back.

Our take on the Pioneer TS-W254R

by John Pollard

Pioneer's Champion Series subs give you impressive performance without breaking your bank account. The TS-W254R 10" subwoofer sports a rugged cone made from injection-molded polypropylene for rigidity without added heft. The sub's seamless cone design increases efficiency and reduces distortion, while its treated foam surround helps keep the cone under control so this sub sounds great in either sealed or ported enclosures.

A tough 6-layer voice coil allows the TS-W254R to handle up to 250 watts RMS. The stamped basket features a magnet cover for added protection, while extra venting helps to cool the sub's interior to protect against thermal breakdown. This sub's classic look will fit right in with any vehicle.

Highlights:

  • 10" 4-ohm subwoofer
  • injection-molded polypropylene cone with treated foam surround
  • power range: 50-250 watts RMS (1,100 watts peak power)
  • frequency response: 20-220 Hz
  • sensitivity: 93 dB
  • mounting depth: 5"
  • sealed box volume: 0.80 cu. ft.
  • ported box volume: 1.10 cu. ft.
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

Features

IMPP Cone: The Pioneer TS-W254R features an IMPP (Injection Molded Polypropylene) woofer cone. This process of cone molding assures a uniform cone thickness for superior linearity and clarity.

Voice Coil: The woofer's 6-layer, long voice coil design allows expanded piston motion for better linearity, improved power handling, and more bass impact.

Extended Pole Yoke: The extended pole yoke expands the magnetic field, improving linearity during large woofer excursions.

Vented Pole Yoke: The vented pole yoke allows air circulation within the motor structure to ensure better heat dissipation, thus improving the power handling capacity.

Terminals: The heavy duty spring compression terminals will accept pin connectors, single banana plugs, and bare wire up to 10 gauge.

Specifications

Enclosure Compatibility: The Pioneer TS-W254R offers great performance using either a sealed, ported, or bandpass enclosure.

Sealed Box Volume: The sealed box sizes recommended by Pioneer range from 0.65 cu/ft to 1.25 cu/ft. Within this range, the ideal recommended size is 0.8 cu/ft.

Vented Box Volume: The vented box sizes recommended by Pioneer range from 0.9 cu/ft to 1.5 cu/ft. Within this range, the ideal recommended size is 1.1 cu/ft. The recommended port diameter is 3" and the length varies with enclosure size; 7.5" long with the 1.1 cu/ft enclosure, 8.5" long with the 0.9 cu/ft enclosure, and 6" long with the 1.5 cu/ft enclosure.

Bandpass Volume: The bandpass box sizes recommended by Pioneer range from 0.45 cu/ft to 0.8 cu/ft (per chamber). The ideal enclosure has a 0.6 cu/ft sealed rear chamber and a 0.6 cu/ft ported front chamber. The minimum recommended size has a 0.45 cu/ft sealed rear chamber and a 0.45 cu/ft ported front chamber. The maximum recommended size has a 0.8 cu/ft sealed rear chamber and a 0.8 cu/ft ported front chamber.

awesome subwoofer

Written By drew, Turner, ME on Thursday, September 06, 2012
 
This woofer is awesome. iv had mine now for almost a year and im powering off a 800 watt amp, and it hasn't skipped a beat once. For the price of it, it is a great sub. i installed it with a custom ported box and it shakes my car to piece, i don't know how my car hasn't fallen apart yet. anyways, this is a great sub and would def recommend it to somebody who is knew to customizing their system.
Pros:
great subwoofer especially for the price, put it in the right box and it will blow your mind.
Cons:
the one con is that it doesn't kick as hard as i would like it to.

Pros:
easy to hook up, hit hard
Cons:
only single coil

Exceed Expectations

Written By J. Black, Hartford, CT on Sunday, June 17, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Not a bad Subwoofer at all . Build quality was good, the terminal connections on the sub are easy to use, and after a break in period, it hits just as hard as my old PowerBass L-10D. I am running 240 W RMS to it.

The only thing is it doesn't play as low. I think that has more to do with my enclosure-size, so I really can't ding the sub for it. Im right at the upper limit.
Pros:
Price
Cons:
None
