Pioneer TS-WX130DA Space Saving Active Subwoofer with Built-In Class-D Amplifier

I wanted a little more low end frequency inside my car, having never used one of these before I was sceptical about what it would provide. Happy to say it does what I want very well, the remote makes it supper simple to remove all bass at a moments notice which is handy if you just want to listen to a podcast which doesn't need all the bass. Wiring is adequately long to accommodate most cars so the only cables you will also need are a phono RCA cable to plug from the head unit to the sub, or if you can you can set it up via the speakers in the car you may need some extra speaker wire. This is not plug and play to wire in so don't expect it to be a 10 minute job, but the results are worth the effort. Rich crisp bass and being adjustable it works with synthesised bass and real bass (drums) so a good bit of kit for the cost.

I have a Vauxhall Astra van, my idea was to get a huge sub and put it in the rear of the van but with so many tools In the back it would've likely got destroyed within a month or so. So I saw one of these that fits snugly under the passenger seat and thought I'd give it a go. Wow what a difference the sound makes. I have it at half gain with the frequency crossover at about a 1/4 of the way up. It was dead easy to Install I just wired it into the back of my aftermarket head unit rather than to the battery and it works perfectly. For a two person cab in the Astra van it's more than powerful enough. Best purchase I've made this year

I had already upgraded the speakers and head unit in vw t5 and to be perfectly honest I wasn’t at all impressed with the sound. The speakers in the doors are quite low down to be fair but it just sounded tinny and quiet and the bass was non existent. I just came across this by chance really. I started to read into it and the reviews etc. it seemed to sound like exactly what I was looking for, something that would make the sound feel nice around me. Not to loud or thumping but enough extra to hear the bass and beats properly. I read a fair few reviews and thought I’d go for it. It arrived the next day as usual with Amazon. I’m not an audio guy or an electrician but I’m fairly handy and have done a lot of upgrades to my camper so this wasn’t to difficult to wire up. It took a few hours to route the wiring harness from the back of the head unit down under the footwell carpet and under the driver seat. The fit couldn’t be more perfect ( there is a gap under the driver seat on the t5 ) even a few mm bigger and it wouldn’t have gone in……but it did! I’m soooooo impressed with the sound in my van now( so much so I’m looking for a space to put another in the back somewhere 🤣) the difference is amazing. Everything sounds how it should sound now. I went for the DA version rather than the EA version. Some people will tell you you don’t need the DA and that if your head unit can control a sub separately you don’t need the remote so just to go for the EA version. I disagree myself as the DA has dynamic bass which I believe is missing from the EA. I also think that even with the sub control from the head unit ( which I have ) the remote control gives you a fair bit more control over things. That’s just my opinion but for £150 you can go wrong with this little sub. It’s never gonna blow the windows out but for an amazing upgraded sound to your system this little thing is the business. I took the advise of other people on here and I have been so impressed so if your reading this then you should just get one delivered TOMORROW ,!!

The actual quality of the bass isn't amazing, but its ok. Physics will always be the limiting factor on a subwoofer of this size, but I think Pioneer could have got more out of the hardware with better DSP. It can do some lower bass notes when the volume is raised. But these lower bass notes are too quiet compared to the upper bass notes. At high volumes this makes total sense, as said above, physics exists, a small driver can only do so much before it distorts especially when hitting a budget price range. However, I think the product could be greatly improved if they added some better DSP to raise the lower frequencies at lower volume levels. This would help to balance the subwoofer better, because the hardware can do it, it just needs an EQ that changes with volume so it can do its best work within its hardware limits at any given volume level. If you have a car with a reasonable factory audio system without a subwoofer, you will notice an improvement with this. The bass won't hit hard in *all* music, but it will do a decent job in most songs, and unlike your factory system the bassline on your music won't phase in and out of existence as it falls below what the factory speakers can reproduce. It doesn't compare to a home audio subwoofer such as the Logitech Z5500 or the Cambridge Audio Minx X301 of which I have used both. The audio quality isn't as good, and it doesn't go as low as either. But it was never going to, those both have wall power and more space. For its size, running on a car battery without drinking power, it does a good job. Its a solid improvement, and worth your time to install. But it could also be better with some tweaks.

Read the reviews and took the plunge! Very pleased I did. It was installed to the standard factory fitted system in my Alfa Romeo Giulia and lives under the font passenger seat. The sound I now have is better than I had in my previous Alfa Romeo Giulietta that was fitted with the upgraded Bose System. The Pioneer TS-WX130DA was a fraction of the price. It also comes with a snazzy remote so you can change the settings. The sound will get even better as it takes time for speakers to break in. I think this is the way I will do things in the future. :0) Note: I would recommend using Velcro tape to hold the Sub and remote in place, its easier than screws!

Just what I needed. Brilliant piece of speaker. Recommended to all those who needs an extra punch to your music. Not to showoff in front of others, just for pure personal music experience. Thanks Pioneer. Thanks Amazon🙏

I bought this Pioneer and installed in my car. Worked less than one month & not working. I planned to send to Pioneer Singapore & they said not purchased from Singapore and no international warranty. In fact, they will charge me S$200 penalty if send in for repair. I am so curious that Pioneer do not honour international warranty. I bought many brands before and got international warranty too. If this is the case, I don’t dare to buy any online shipped from America. This will be my last Pioneer product too!

Appena disimballato la prima impressione e': oddio quanto e' piccolo! In pratica e' un libro. Montato come sub in un impianto quasi di serie in una focus prima serie in cui ho sostituito l'autoradio con un Pioneer DEH-X7800DAB lasciando gli altoparlanti di serie (ho provato a sostituirli ma facevano davvero pena, vanno meglio quelli di serie). Il sub in pratica e' nato per essere accoppiato a questo tipo di autoradio, quindi il telecomando non serve, si gestisce il sub dall'autoradio, perfetto! All'ascolto, dopo aver letto le recensioni, mi aspettavo di piu, ma dopo averlo visto mi aspettavo molto meno, alla fine riesce a sorprenderti; no, non ti sfonda i finestrini, ma si fa sentire, scendendo in basso davvero bene se si pensa a quanto e' piccolo; riesce a coprire i deficit in basso degli altoparlanti di serie in modo egregio, con un suono piu definito; allo stato attuale ho usato la funzione HPF dell'autoriadio per limitare la banda in basso degli altoparlanti nelle portiere a 80Hz e ho lasciato il sub a coprire dal basso fino a 200Hz, nessuna enfatizzazione ne bassboost ne Loudness e mi trovo davvero bene. Nei prossimi giorni me lo ascolto un po e cerco di sintonizzare il tutto bene. Soddisfatto, quattro stelle perche si prospettava meglio, ma vediamo i prossimi giorni. Recensione parte seconda Dopo una settimana buona di ascolto ne sono soddisfattissimo; si, si puo' avere di piu, ma si rischia di finire nel ridicolo. Questo sub invece e' discreto, invisibile (fissato sulla parte inferiore del sedile passeggero e' davvero invisibile) ma riempie a sufficienza e con ottima qualita' l'abitacolo di frequenze che prima sentivo a malapena e male. Lo consiglierei a chi ha un impianto di serie? Certamente! Se poi lo abbinate ad un'autoradio pioneer che prevede l'uscita sub, e' praticamente perfetto., potrete regolarne la frequenza di taglio, la pendenza, e il "volume" direttamente dall'autoradio, senza dover fare contorsioni o avere un telecomando a filo in mezzo le scatole. Finalmente posso tornare ad ascoltare musica in auto con una qualita' buona. Per quello che costa, nel mio caso, con l'autoradio che lo gestisce a pieno, vale ampiamente quanto speso. Lo passo da 4 a 5 stelle Dopo qualche mese di ascolto, e dopo aver calibrato tutto a dovere ascoltando diversi tipi di musica, sono davvero tanto soddisfatto. 139 euro davvero ben spesi; la musica in macchina è davvero tanto tanto migliorata. 5 stelle meritatissime.

Klein, ausreichend leistungsstark für meine Zwecke, einfach anzuschließen ( Masse, Signal , Strom ). Der Woofer liegt / steht bei mir in der Einbucht von der Armablage der hinteren Sitze. Passt da genau rein und wird auch gehalten von den Kabel (oben liegend). Fernbedienung ist praktisch und funktionell. Einmal eingestellt, könnte man diese sonst verstecken. Ich habe sie zwischen Sitz und Mittelkonsole gequetscht, hält und ich kann schnell was einstellen da stets in Griffreichweite beim fahren. Bass ist ausreichend und scheinbar passend zu der Anlage vom E39 ( mehr wäre immer besser). Wenn man zwingend mehr Bass bräuchte, könnte man auch zwei von diesen verbauen oder gleich eine "Rolle / Kiste" verbauen...wer das nicht kann aus Platzgründen ect pp ist mit diesem Produkt nicht schlecht beraten. Versucht die allgemeinen Lautstärken und Bässe so gut wie es geht aufeinander abzustimmen. WX130DA ist ordentlich Pegelfast, aber nur wenn man es auch nicht derart mit dem Bass übertreibt das eh die Audioanlage vom Auto verzerren würde. Abstimmung ist alles, und keine taube Ohren. Ihr sollt ordentlich Auto fahren, etwas Musik mit etwas mehr Bass genießen und nicht die 14 jährigen Mädels mit dem Teil hier beieindrucken wenn ihr an einer Schule vorbei fährt :D <- Das gilt mal für diejenigen die denken damit könnte man jemanden beeindrucken. Kann man wenn es als "Ergänzung für etwas mehr aber nicht unsinnig" verstanden wird^^ Man könnte auch sagen, ist eine "Vernunftsentscheidung" das Teil wenn man einfach nur etwas mehr Bass braucht und akzeptiert das diese Teil niemals das Glas aus der Karre drückt^^ Greetz Tobi

Excellent. Très bon son et bien compact
