I have this running on a Pioneer GM-D7500M amplifier (200W @ 4 OHMS) and am very impressed with the performance.
The sub did take several hours to settle in and I had to adjust the gain and crossover several times until I found the sweet spot. I increased the gain gradually over the course of a few days and am delighted with the quality of bass now.
When I first plugged it in I thought "Oh, is that it?" but after some patience and adjustments it really shines. I wouldn't recommend this sub if you like window shaking banging/thumping bass, but if you are limited on space (I didn't want a sub taking up the entire trunk) and looking for tight musical bass this is a great choice. I also really like the fact that it is down-firing as it protects the woofer from getting poked or damaged, and allows me to lay items on top of it in the event that I am transporting something bulky in the back of my car. The box is extremely solid and tight and has minimal branding on it, so it won't attract thieves. It pretty much disappears into my car's black carpet.
I have it sitting in the hatch area of a Honda Fit, with the little Pioneer amp installed under the driver seat so it is an ideal sub set up for those of you looking for something more compact and discrete.
Remember be patient and spent lots of time playing with the gain and crossover until you get the sound you want. And give it time to break in.
***4 Month Update***
I have owned this sub for 4 months now and am LOVING it. I really thought I would have to settle for "average" bass due to my desire to buy something small and compact, but this thing has exceeded expectations. It sounds great after having 4 months to break in (really, it seemed fully broken in after 1 month and has been consistent since then). The bass in musical and very satisfying.
Because of the down-firing design, I have never had to remove this thing from my trunk when hauling cargo I just lay items over the top it when I have to. Even my wife loves this thing and she wasn't into the idea of adding sub at all! After driving the car on her own, she has commented on the warmth/energy the sub brings to the stock stereo, and really appreciates the fact that her husband's sub isn't taking up too much space in the trunk.
Buy this thing!

HelloThis is my first review ever for amazon.
I just installed this. Let me tell you that I'm impressed. Its very small but don't let that fool you. It really rounds out the deep sounds for me. It is perfect for my application as I have it in the back of a full sized suv. It feels very sturdy and I would have no problem stacking groceries, etc items on it. If you go to the pioneer website it give better photos of this then the stock amazon photos. Anywho.... to the best part. It sounds great, I have it running through an ancient RF punch amp and it hits HARD. Granted its an older RF amp and they are SERIOUSLY underrated. Its a sealed enclosure, so it"s a quick, solid hard hitting bass, rather than a really deep ultra low tone bass. It does need to break in and i feel that it will only get better after break in. I feel that for the price, its a VERY good value if you are tight on space and want a small sub that can really add to a punchy low end that can really round out a system. Now granted I know this is not a high end unit but i feel this should really be considered for anyone who wants more low end, and does not want to spend alot of money, but want the backing of a major manufacturer. Like i said, this is my first review ... and I really like how it sounds. It really rounds out my system.
Best Deals for Pioneer TS-SWX251 10" Flat Subwoofer with Enclosure 800 Watts
Okay, to begin I bought I new F-150, and wasn't impressed with the factory sound. I replaced and amped the door speakers, but still wasn't 'Wowed.' I was really trying to avoid adding a sub woofer because I didn't want to sacrifice any space at all, but every sound store I went to said the same thing (your missing low end). While at the last sound store that I visited I saw this unit and asked "How much?" They wanted $200 for the same enclosure, so I hit up trusty Amazon. Here's the review.While writing this I see the product title as Enclosure 800 Watts. Not sure if that is a mistake or what, but it is rated for 200 Watts. I am currently giving it 200 Watts (from a bridged RF 4 channel amp) and let me tell you, it will need no more. I've had sound systems that were insane in my younger days, so I know what to expect from a shallow mount 10" sub. I was surprised. Although I wasn't looking for something to set off car alarms, I wanted to add some bottom end to my sound. This exceeded my needs by quite a bit.
As a matter of fact I have the bass (to the enclosure) turned to half way and find myself wondering if I should turn it down a bit more. I was amazed. Reviews will tell you that it takes a couple of weeks to break in. This is true, but honestly, it sounds pretty awesome from day one. If you have any experience with sound systems and know what to expect from an enclosure this size, you will be more than pleased from the performance. It will not make the roof of your vehicle pulse up and down, you won't feel the bass in your chest, but for a 10" shallow mount, it is incredible. I listen to all kinds of music, from classic rock to the occasional delve into chopped and screwed rap, and this thing does not fail to deliver.
The size is exactly what I needed. I have it slid under the back seat of my super crew cab and don't even realize it's there except for the sound. The enclosure is about the size of a large briefcase.
Enough talk. It is the best $100 upgrade I have ever made to any sound system. Very pleased. Thanks for reading.
