Pioneer TS-WX1210AH 12" 1500W Ported Enclosure Active Subwoofer with Built In Amplifier

Quick answer

The Pioneer TS-WX1210AH puts a 12 inch woofer and a class D amplifier in one carpeted ported enclosure.

Adding bass usually means a sub, a box, an amp and a pile of wiring. Pioneer rates it at 500W nominal and 1,500W max, with a wired remote for bass level from the driver seat.

Problems it solves

• No room for a separate amp. The amplifier is built into the box.
• Bass that comes and goes between songs. Bass boost of 0 to +12dB between 40Hz and 100Hz and the wired remote let you tune it on the fly.
• Odd boot shapes. The trapezoid box can fire to the rear, front or upwards.
• Sub fighting the rear speakers. Phase control and a 50Hz to 125Hz low pass filter help blend it in.
