Pioneer TS 1318

Advantages: Great sounding, deep rich bass.
Disadvantages: Needs time to set up correctly.

...This is part of Pioneer's accelerate range which has been around for some years now. The TS-W 306C is a 12" sub woofer designed to be fitted to a sub box which is sold separately. Fitting The sub woofer comes with a pack of screws and double sided foam which is secured to the back of the speaker and then mounted onto the box, so as to give a perfect seal when screwed to the box. This is then mounted in the boot of your car. The only connection that you need to make is the speaker wires which is attached to the side of the box. I recommend using a good quality OFC (oxygen free cable) This cable is then connected to the speaker terminals on your amp. Performance This will vary greatly depending which amp you will use to drive this speaker. As a rule i would suggest you use a good quality amp rated 200 watts and above... Read review

Advantages: Nicely shaped, Fair Power, Easy To Install!
Disadvantages: Not powerful enough!

...of bodywork is required and they install so easily i did not need a single bit of instruction, im not expert either i just am a bit handy when it comes to speakers. Evaluation ************* I advise to get these speakers if you are looking for a budget sound system with fair power, but if you are looking for top-notch stuff, then i suggest you look into more expensive and larger pioneer stuff, why pioneer? because they are the best money can buy.

Advantages: Very good sound quality, many options, Sound Retriever technology
Disadvantages: Interface could be better

...That car radio system is a blast. Intuitive controls, usb and ipod control are really adding up to the fun here. I had a bit of trouble installing because the main problem with aftermarket systems is that illumination wire that you never know where to tie up. I ended up frying my dashboard dimmer switch which is a 65$ value! Just be careful when installing those things! For the radio itself, the advantages are the legendary Pioneer sound quality. The downside I think is the menu navigation. If you have an iPod filled with music, choosing an artist can soon become a long task to accomplish e.g: you have to turn that button soooo many times. But else it really looks great and as I said, USB control is really cool. Personnaly I installed a 160gb HD powered by my lighter plug directly connected to the unit. Never change the disc again!...
