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.
