SPL (Sound Pressure Level) Subwoofer
TS-W8102SPL TS-W5102SPL
To generate resounding bass, the TS-W8102SPL and TS-W5102SPL subwoofers handle
high-power input and extreme sound pressure levels with absolute assurance, thanks
to design and construction durable enough to deliver consistently true, rock-steady
performance, even at extra-high volume throughout marathon listening sessions.

Dual Ceramic-Coated Voice Coils
Excess heat generated by subwoofers can compromise electrical-handling
performance, but Pioneer uses ceramic-
coated voice coil to double the capacity
of its sub woofers to handle input power
without short-circuiting. No wonder the
Pioneer TS-W5102SPL beat the competition
at 2005, 2006 and 2007 dB Drag Racing events.
Extra-Strong Dust Cap Core with Foamed Acrylic Polymer
Dust caps on the TS-W8102SPL and TS-W5102SPL subwoofers feature a light, durable
heat-resistant foamed acrylic polymer core (between carbon-fiber and glass cloth

The result: greater capacity for extra
sound pressure, stability and power
