Features

Overview: The Pioneer TS-WX130DA is an amplified subwoofer with a built-in Class D amplifier. It contains an 8" x 5-1/4" cone woofer, which is driven by a 50-watt RMS (160W Max) amp. The acoustic suspension (sealed) enclosure is compact enough to fit under the seat, behind the seat, or in small storage compartments. The TS-WX130DA comes with a wired Digital Bass control to let you control its volume and the frequency of the low-pass filter.

Woofer Cone: The Pioneer compact active subwoofer has an 8" x 5-1/4" aluminum cone woofer with an 18-ounce Strontium magnet and heat-resistant voice coil. The speaker has a urethane (foam) surround.

Enclosure: The TS-WX130DA features a specially designed acoustic suspension enclosure. It is made of a high density compound resin. The enclosure includes a 10" x 7" metal grille (non-removable).

Digital Bass Control: The active subwoofer comes with a wired Digital Bass Control with a 16.25' cable. From the control, you can set the Gain, and vary the Frequency Control (of the built-in low pass filter) from 50 Hz to 125 Hz. There are two selectable listening modes (Bass Modes) to choose from: Deep and Dynamic. In addition, you can switch the phase of the woofer from Normal to Reverse, if needed.

Bass Modes: There are two selectable Bass Modes to tune the unit to suit various types of music:

• Deep: The Deep mode is for bass heavy music, and has a sound that is similar to a ported enclosure. It has a wider frequency response (20 Hz to 200 Hz), and a 95dB sensitivity.
• Dynamic: The Dynamic mode has a tight, punchy bass, much like a sealed enclosure. The frequency range in narrower than the Deep setting (40 Hz to 160 Hz), with a 100dB sensitivity.

Connections: The TS-WX130DA comes with a power wiring harness as well as an RCA input harness. The power wiring harness has 16.25' lengths of 18-gauge power wire (with an in-line 10A ATO fuse) and 18-gauge turn-on lead, plus a 6' 18-gauge ground wire. The RCA input harness allows you to connect the subwoofer to an aftermarket stereo via RCA cables. If you're connecting to a factory radio (or a radio without RCA outputs), you can cut the RCA plugs off of the input harness and splice it to the speaker wires. An RJ-45 jack is provided for plugging in the Digital Bass Control cable.

Controls: Two switches are located on the bottom of the unit inside the recessed connection panel. The Input Level switch should be set to "SPK" or "RCA" depending upon how the signal is input via speaker wire or RCA plugs. The Input Gain switch is set to "Normal" when using speaker level inputs or RCA inputs of less than 4V. If the RCA input signal is 4V or higher, the Input Gain switch should be set to "High."

Installation: The subwoofer comes with the hardware needed for installation. The enclosure installs using only two brackets (included) attached on opposite corners. Each bracket can be installed at 0°, 45°, or 90°. All of the power, remote, and signal connections are made in a recessed area on the bottom of the unit. The wires exit through a channel on the side of the unit. The included cable clamp holds the power, remote, and signal wires in place as they exit the channel.
