Before running this subwoofer, I had a 12" Pioeer 400w sub in a massive 16x18x18 enclosure. My only reservation about switching to the smaller sub and box was that I'd lose a lot of my bass kick-I was wrong. This little speaker is brilliantly designed! The internal fins push air out to the sides instead of straight down. The result is a full-range of bass in a very small package. People are shocked when I show them the size of the sub that's been making all the ruckus in my car!
I'd recommend this to anyone who's looking to save space in the boot and maintain a great-sounding low end to their system.

Shallow mount subwoofers are becoming very popular because the technology has gotten to the point that they are actually good, not just thin. Shallow mount means that the box it fits into can be quite thin from front to back. In the case of the Pioneer TSSW251 the internal volume can be very small as well. This means the sub can be mounted in more locations, often out of the way and hidden.Note the rear view of the Pioneer sub. It is very unusual and clearly a lot of engineering effort has gone into making these things work. It is not just a flattened out conventional design.
I was able to hide it away in a cubby hole and got rid of the big box that used to take up a lot of cargo area, could attract thieves and would probably hit me in the back of the head in a collision.
Pioneer has recommended box volumes. Mine is home-made and is below the optimum size, but it still works very nicely, with a lot more bass than the previous traditional long-throw (deep dish) 8" sub in a far bigger box. It is designed for a sealed box, not a ported design.
Any decent amp will power it. No need for 1000 watts. I used a 350 watt mono Alpine.
I was very pleased with the price. It actually seems inexpensive for what you get.
