CT Sounds TROPO-2X10D4 Bass Package vs Pioneer TS-WX1210A 12" Active Subwoofer

The Dual package is the bigger, louder system: two 10-inch subs in a kerf-ported box with a 1500W RMS monoblock and 4-gauge OFC wiring, all pre-wired to 1 ohm. The Pioneer TS-WX1210A is a single powered 12-inch in a sealed trapezoid enclosure with a built-in Class D amp, rated 350W RMS and 1300W peak. The Dual suits someone who wants maximum output and is fine with a larger box and a separate amp install; the Pioneer suits someone who wants compact, self-contained bass that can be repositioned or tucked under a seat. Owners of the Dual praise clean bass and easy install but some expected a 2600W amp and got a 1500W one; Pioneer's rating is lower at 4.4 from 65 ratings.

• Choose the Dual package if you want two 10s, a ported enclosure and a separate 1500W RMS amp for high output, and you have room for a full-size box.
• Choose the Pioneer TS-WX1210A if you want one compact powered 12 with a built-in amp that fits under a seat or in a corner and needs no separate amplifier.
