PioneerTS-A3000LS4 12” Shallow Mount Component Subwoofer, 1500 Watts Max Power

At first, I thought I was about to regret these. They sounded very flat and low but after breaking them in for a week and tuning the amp (Rockford Fosgate R1200-1D), they now sound amazing. They hit highs and lows better and have a bit more punch than my previous non-shallow Kickers. They are a perfect fit in my 2023 double cab Tacoma. Best bang for your buck. Will update if they fail early or anything changes.

Installed in a shallow box I have behind the passenger seat rear drivers side of a 2022 Toyota Tacoma SR5 Trail. Fit perfectly. Sounds great.

I built two custom sealed subwoofer enclosures for underneath the back seat of my truck out of MDF and fully sound-deadened. One enclosure has an Infinity 12-in shallow mount subwoofer, and the other one has this Pioneer 12-in shallow mount sub. When I isolate each side, the Infinity doesn't perform any better or worse than this Pioneer. They're both being driven by a Taramps amp pushing about 200 W RMS per channel.They're both about equal. Either one would be a good bet for your project. I like to mix & match speakers in my systems, because I feel like it gives a fuller sound covering a broader range of frequencies, as each speaker typically performs better in some areas than others. With these I find that they're more or less equal to the competition in the same price range, so I think you're just as good with either choice.Frequency wise these really get down low and hit the deepest notes in my music. You'd probably need a larger enclosure to get down below 30 HZ, but I think these pretty much touch the bottom. Because I'm running sealed enclosures rather than ported larger enclosures, I don't know how well these perform in ported boxes, and I understand that they're not designed for those, because they have a shorter throw (being shallow-mount.) But for my sealed enclosures, they sound incredible. I'm happy with the hundred bucks I spent.

These fit perfect behind the back seat of my F250 crew cab!

For the price you can't go wrong. I'm only putting 300 watts into it and it hit hard and sounds great.

Awesome quality

Lasted one week after the return time. Speakers did not perform as advertised. Find something better

Item did not last 20 minutes. It gave out pretty quick. Sounds amazing while it’s working though.
