The Pioneer TS-WX120A is an active subwoofer designed to enhance the bass response of a car audio system. It features a shallow and compact design, making it suitable for installation under a seat or in other small spaces within a vehicle.

Function Description:

The TS-WX120A functions as an active subwoofer, meaning it integrates both the speaker and an amplifier into a single unit. It is designed to reproduce low-frequency sounds (bass) that standard car speakers may not be able to handle effectively. The unit accepts either speaker-level inputs (from a car stereo's speaker outputs) or RCA pre-out inputs (from a car stereo or power amplifier), offering versatility in system integration. A built-in 150 W MOSFET amplifier powers the woofer, delivering powerful response and low distortion. The subwoofer includes a wired remote control, allowing users to easily adjust bass sound parameters such as gain, frequency, and phase from the driver's seat.

Usage Features:

Compact Design: The shallow and compact form factor allows for flexible installation options, such as under a car seat, making it suitable for vehicles with limited space.
Powerful Amplifier: Equipped with a built-in 150 W MOSFET amplifier, the unit delivers strong bass output with minimal distortion.
Woofer: Features a 20 cm (8") x 13 cm (5-1/4") woofer designed for rich and punchy bass reproduction.
Wired Remote Control: A dedicated wired remote control provides convenient access to key audio adjustments:
- Power Indicator: Lights up when the unit is powered on.
- Gain Control: Adjusts the overall output level of the subwoofer.
- Frequency Control: Allows continuous adjustment of the crossover frequency from 50 Hz to 125 Hz, enabling users to fine-tune the bass cutoff point to blend seamlessly with other speakers.
- Phase Switch: Selects the phase (0° or 180°) to optimize the sound according to the system's acoustics and speaker placement, preventing phase cancellation issues.
Input Versatility: Compatible with both RCA pre-out inputs (for systems with dedicated low-level outputs) and speaker-level inputs (for systems without RCA outputs), ensuring broad compatibility with various car stereos and amplifiers.
Installation Flexibility: The manual provides detailed wiring examples for both speaker line input and RCA input systems, along with instructions for attaching cord clampers and the remote control.

Maintenance Features:

Safety Precautions: The manual emphasizes critical safety measures for installation and operation:
- Disconnecting the vehicle's negative battery cable before installation to prevent electrical shock.
- Using supplied connecting cords and not removing fuses to ensure the protection circuit functions correctly.
- Securely anchoring the unit to prevent movement during driving.
- Checking behind drilling locations to avoid damaging gas lines, brake lines, or electrical wiring.
- Avoiding installation in wet locations.
- Ensuring good ventilation and not obstructing airflow to the unit.
- Maintaining a listening volume that does not mask important outside traffic noises.
- Warning about potential permanent hearing loss from high sound levels.
Wiring Guidelines: Instructions for routing leads and cords, securing them with cable retainers or tape, and keeping them away from hot surfaces to prevent short circuits.
Grounding: Emphasizes connecting the ground lead firmly to a metal part of the car body, noting that improper grounding can cause abnormal operation.
Power Supply: Specifies connecting the power lead to a fuse box terminal that can provide a constant current level of more than 10 A.
System Remote Control: Details connecting the system remote control input cord (blue) to the deck's system remote control output to manage the unit's power state (ON/OFF).
FCC Compliance: The device complies with FCC rules, indicating it has been tested and found to meet limits for a Class B digital device, designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Users are advised on measures to correct interference if it occurs (reorienting antenna, increasing separation, connecting to a different circuit, consulting dealer/technician).
California Proposition 65 Warning: Includes a warning about chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects, advising users to wash hands after handling the product.

The TS-WX120A is designed for ease of installation and user-friendly operation, providing a significant upgrade to a vehicle's audio system by delivering robust and adjustable bass performance.
