Know before you buy
This subwoofer is specifically optimized for small, sealed enclosures. We recommend an enclosure volume of 0.6 cubic feet to achieve the best balance of tight, accurate bass response.
Yes, the TS-Z10LS2 features a shallow-mount design with a mounting depth of only 3-1/4 inches. This makes it an excellent choice for tight spaces, such as behind or under seats, where standard subwoofers might not fit.
This unit handles 400 Watts RMS, so you should pair it with an amplifier capable of delivering that amount of continuous power. It has a single 2-Ohm voice coil, which offers flexibility for matching with various monoblock or bridgeable amplifiers.
The cone uses a dual-layer composite of Twaron Aramid Fiber and Cellulose Fiber. This combination provides the rigidity needed for high-output bass while maintaining the internal damping required to minimize distortion and ensure a fast, precise response.
Absolutely. This model is Hi-Res Audio Certified, meaning it is engineered to reproduce sound with greater accuracy and detail than standard car audio subwoofers. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with Pioneer’s OPEN & SMOOTH sound concept for a cohesive listening experience.
