Pioneer TS-WX300A 30 cm Powered Active Subwoofer with Class-D Built-In Amplifier

Added the Pioneer TS-WX300A to my car and it's transformed the sound. The bass is deep, punchy, and tight—really fills the cabin without getting boomy. Fits perfectly in the boot without taking much room. Easy to hook up with the built-in amp, and it hits hard even at moderate volume. Pioneer quality shines through. Proper upgrade for anyone wanting more low-end on a budget.

In brief, this is a decent sub which has improved the sound greatly in my car. So now a bit more detail. I bought this from Amazon and had it installed by a mobile auto electrician (about £50, but well worth the money). The same guy had fitted my new head unit a couple of months earlier (Pioneer SPH-230DAB double din). I have a VW EOS which has a folding hard top which takes up a fair amount of the boot when folded. Due to this I have to place the sub on its back, but that has made no difference to the excellent sound quality and bass - just be sure not to obscure the bass port on the right hand side. The block connector included with the sub makes it easy to disconnect, and I have not used the supplied brackets to secure the sub to the boot floor, so I can easily take it out if necessary. Instead of the brackets I staple-gunned two strips of Velcro along the back and this is enough to stop it moving around in the boot. Almost all leads are included and a good length. They are all already wired into the block connector at one end, and bare at the other end. But you will need a decent RCA/Phono lead - I bought a 4.5 metre one from Amazon for £8. The installer ran the power lead through the car to the fuse box by the driver's seat, and the phono lead and on/off lead to the back of the stereo. He grounded it on some metal bodywork in the boot - apparently the earth lead should be kept as short as possible to minimise interference. Setting up will depend on your vehicle, but here's my setup. My car is essentially a boot-back (saloon) rather than a hatchback. I set the gain and bass boost to about 75% and the crossover to about 100Hz. Then I played with the settings on the head unit until it sounded good with a range of music. I set the Low Pass for the sub to 100Hz, and the High Pass for the four full-range speakers to 100Hz also, so the sub is taking the deepest bass. The sound is excellent at all volumes, and because the sub is taking care of all the low bass, I can turn it right up with no distortion on most types of music. My head unit has three 'loudness' settings which I use to quickly decide on the 'bassy-ness', but I can also turn down the sub by decibel increments if needed. But that's only necessary for playing tracks like 'Wild Thing' by Tone Loc at loud volume. So - get a decent head unit first, then get this bad-boy installed and set-up properly - you won't regret it!

It sound great in my type R, its more then enough for a bass listener. Recommended

Only installed yesterday so not fully broken in yet but its lifted my entire sound quality a lot into a much fuller and immersion experience. Excellent bass, and has freed up the bandwidth of my speakers to bring out increased clarity of the mids and highs. Absolutely love playing music in my car again. Opted for this sub on the (mostly) positive reviews. I recommend !

This sounds great but do take this with a pinch of salt as I am not very familiar with car audio. I have a sub in the house (logitech G560) and I also had a pioneer underseat sub, but this new purchase blows both of them out of the water. My car now rattles in places it never rattled before but I believe once I play with the dials, I’ll soon find what works best with my car. I was luckily enough to have a dad with past experiences in this game so I was able to sit back and have an easy install but as a newbie I think I would’ve had to pay for someone to do it for me. I had to buy an RCA adapter for this as my radio did not have the right ports, so maybe check that when buying you have all the right parts/cables before buying. It’s quite big for my small hyundai i20 boot but I think if you really want to upgrade your sound system then this is something I’d highly recommend. I’m sure there are some music heads out there with the right advice but like I said, as a novice in this stuff I would recommend to anyone who was unsure about the performance of this sub.

Absolutely brilliant. The quality is great, the sound is awesome. Fitted in the boot of my Audi TT (literally made to fit perfect in this car, sits perfectly under the small shelf at the back of the boot without the need for fitting the brackets) Don’t hesitate, Amazing value for money and certainly more bass than you will need for this size car!

If anyone is looking for sub woofer on a budget then look no further this is a great bit of kit. Really easy to install and the bass and sound quality are very good comes with all wires apart from rca leads

Quite Easy to install considering it has to attach to the Stereo and the Battery. I did have to buy the right terminals for my battery and a RCA cable to connect it but I did expect this. I have never installed a subwoofer or really anything but a radio into my car but it only took me about 3 hours in total. My car is only a VW Fox so it is quite small but all the included cables reached to where they were needed and there was quite a lot of slack so definitely would fit in much longer/larger cars. The sound you can customise a lot with the 3 knobs on the side of the subwoofer and the settings on my Pioneer stereo if you connect it via rca rather than speaker line. Overall extremely happy with it and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a subwoofer.
