Pioneer TS-WX610A Bandpass Spare Tyre Subwoofer 200w Max

I had my eye on another space-saving sub from pioneer (TS-WX710A) for a number if years before I bought this one. I was waiting for a sale or fluctuation in price (using camelcamelcamel.com) to no avail. I decided to go for this one as it is completely hidden whilst providing really nice bass.I went into a few car audio shops and most of them would tell me that this would not be loud enough or suggest something else. I wasn't after a sub that takes up my luggage space or can be heard a few streets away. Don't get me wrong. I'm a producer and listen to my music louder than most. But I was after a nice balanced sound that I am used to hearing on my professional monitors in the studio. And this sub did just that. I love it! I would even consider buying this sub even if it didn't tuck away under my boot in my spare wheel compartment - which to me is a massive selling point, but by no means the only one!The wired remote control is great for tweaking the gain, frequency (50hz-125hz) and phase of the sub. If you have a Honda Civic with factory speakers - set your EQ settings: Bass (-5) Treble (-3) and centred. Whack up the volume on your system and sub and enjoy! :) (this is my preference primarily for electronic music)_____________________Pros-very useful functional remote-aesthetically pleasing-great quality balanced sound-louder than you would expect-hides and secures nicely in a spare wheel compartment-well worth the moneyCons-Tricky to install by yourself (this may be the case for most car subs!)_____________________Installation:I decided to go ahead and try and install this sub myself as the quotes I was getting went from £100 to £150 after mentioning I had a 2008 Honda Civic. I should have taken this as a warning. It was not easy. It included taking lots of things apart to access the head unit and connect the speaker wires, then the power wire from the battery, the ignition cut of switch wire to the fuse box, physically installing the sub and running the cables down the sides. I had a guy from Halfords who was kind enough to give me advice and even let me use his tools! - couldn't have done it without him.Item was bought Jan 2014 for £233.99

Buy with confidence from Car Audio Centre. Fantastic price and quick delivery. I bought this subwoofer for my wifes car and I have to say the performance and sound is amazing. It out performs the Bose system I have in my Audi. It comes with a multitude of fixings to fit all car makes. Installation should cost around 80 pounds professionally or is easy to fit yourself. Even comes with a handy wired remote to adjust levels easily from the drivers seat. I wired mine up direct to the car stereo via RCA leads. Also note you will need to get power from the battery so when installing the only tricky bit is getting through your cars firewall.All in all I would definitely recommend this product, buy one now you won't be disappointed

I’ve added this to the factory stereo in my Mk7.5 Golf estate and Wow! It now sounds like the Dynaudio option they sell for £800. The remote controller is a bonus that allows you to change the bass frequency on the fly as your selection of music changes genre.Wiring it in was simple enough, but the wheel bolt in my car was the fat plastic affair which won’t go through the sub - so I had to remove it (quarter turn and pull it out) and fashion one from the threaded bolts included. No need to buy any adaptors either, as I spliced it directly to the rear speakers behind the head unit.It could have done with a little more power, but that would be childish and it’s adequate enough to provide that extra dimension needed where road noise used to be an issue. Very happy with it overall.

Absolutely brilliant - fitted in a BMW E46 which has the battery in the boot. Had to cut up the plastic spare tyre cover but the install is completely invisible and the sound fantastic (connected to My Pioneer head unit via RCA connections). Most wiring came with the kit, only had to connect an RCA lead (I soldered it but crimping would work fine). Installed in around 3 hours, including taking the panels and rear seat out and reinstalling. Sound is clear and punchy with really solid bass, you can adjust settings to tailor the amount of bass by a large margin. Highly recommended.

The speaker is very light and seems like a nice design but won't work in a VW Tiguan as it sits too high. The opening on the bottom is not wide enough and will sit too high so had to return.

Brilliant sub! Very similar sound to some of the pre-installed bose systems, although with a little more power and WAY louder. Sounds brilliant in my fiat punto gp, routing wires through car and behind trim was tiring and copious although worth it in the end! Set my amp crossover to 80hz which takes lots of bass away from the cabin speakers (reducing vibration and rattling panels) and sends it all to the sub. Probably not relevant, but the bass sounds good from the outside too 😂

Great sound, not massively loud but adds nicely and balances out the sound system in my car.Doesn't take up any boot space so a great addition for any car that has a full size spare wheel.The only thing that would make it 5 stars is if it came with a component cable.

I wanted to have sub, but didn't want to loose luggage space inside trunk. Tested a lof of underseat subs, they are not good either with fixing and installation, either with sound. This one was decided CBS of head unit Pioneer and subs very clever location. A lot of luxury cars having subs in trunk underneath. I was just shocked when connected it - it's just what was needed to have very nice sound. I low down basses on the head unit from all the interior speakers and they started to have clear sound with addition of trunk sub, now I am proud to have such a perfect sound in my Golf mk4.
