Shallow Mount Subs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Sorry, another stereo thread, but I saw these Pioneer shallow mount subs last night and was wondering if anyone had them installed or knew anyone who did.
The model is Pioneer TS-SW124D. Only 3" depth for a 12" woofer. I'm sure they can't be as good as a regular speaker so I was wondering if you guys had any experience with them.

I am dying to know the answer to this, because I've been eyeing the exact same sub. However I'm thinking of going with a set of two 10s for sharper response, but that's just me. I am really wondering how the shallow mounts perform.

I was just down at the local stereo shop,

getting an Ipod mount installed and they had these Pioneer Subs in the store for pickups. They sounded great. the way they are built they dont need as much air to move them and mount really good behind the seat in a custom enclosure. Just my 2 cents
Thanks

I actually got bored over lunch and read through some audio forums. It seems that they will put out good bass, just not as much as a regular speaker. They don't have the excursion of a normal speaker, so obviously they don't move as much air. I found some who really like em and some who really hated them (typical for any reivews or opinions). Putting 8 inch subs behind the seat is a cmomon fix, but many forums siad that the pioneers will play to the lower frequencis an 8" can't reproduce. After reading about them I think I am definietly still interested and they are awesome if you have very little space.

so to answer your ? about the subs... they are great. I manage a stereo shop and we have had lots of happy customers using them. the only down fall to them is that they are very power hungry. we usally run about a true 400 watts rms to each. but they do sound really good. another thing is if u decide to get some make sure u build the box to spec, they dont work well in any thing else.
