Anyone ever messed with TS-W5102SPL?

This Pioneer Premier TS-W5102SPL, http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Pro...-W5102SPL?tab=B

anyone ever seen these in action or know their potential personally?

It's specs are questionable which makes me wonder how loud they can get.

I know they were used in the comp vehicle which did over 180db but that means nothing to me. They could have done that with any other high powered sub i'm sure.

Anyways, it says rated at 2,500wrms\6000w peak, only required to be in a 2.0 cuft ported enclosure but only 11.5mm xmax... I'm looking for loud daily but do not know if this is in the right category for my needs.

I still find it pretty impressive that they were instrumental in helping Scott hit the big 180.

Don't knock them just because the specs seem unimpressive to you.

I'll see that truck personally this Saturday.

my buddy had 2 of them in the back of a talon and i was damn impressed by them... i would use them any day....

oh and also, they were used as daily beaters, never went to a comp with them, and they kept up with every beat... just my .02 personal experience with them...

Ask them for me why the Scion needs an AC power cord plugged into it during a run

Actually they do put a little heater in it until just before he burps.

Ok, this is why people get confused -

Now, i've been told to always use approx 16sqin of port per cubic ft. Sometimes 14 or maybe even 12sqin per cube.

When reading the manual for this sub, it says in 2cubes ported, all you gotta use is 1 4" diameter port!?!? But with 2,500w of continuous thermal handling, port turbulence is probably enough to shoot the box out of the car, hehe.

Why would Pioneer suggest that? I do not understand.

[johnecon2001 82]

Because almost no one who buys a Pioneer sub, also buys an amp that puts out 2500w.
