Pioneer's Taste of Bass

I was over at Sound Sensations today to grab James Stanton and drag him to lunch. (Oh yeah, and check on the Acura too!) While walking through the normal installation bays, Jeff pointed out to me a new contraption that Pioneer just sent their dealers. At first, I thought it was some of the installers having fun. It looked like a sub mounted to a cardboard box. And then when you tapped the box, it was solid. Then Jeff pointed out the FM Modulator on the back of the bottom box.

Pioneer designed this to give consumers a test drive of some bass in their ride. You put a CD into the CD Player in the unit and tune the customers radio and then hook up the sub. The sub is sized just under a cubic foot. Was one of the slickest things I have seen in a while to demo to customers. What do you think?

That's a good idea. If I am at a local store debating on purchasing some new equipment I always sit there wondering how it will sound in my car.

A long time ago I was at a shop in NY and was planning on upgrading my subs and was sitting there wondering how it will sound in my car so we actually carried the enclosure with the 2 12's in it out to my trunk and hooked it up to my amp. That was pretty cool of them. But for a company to do that is pretty sweet.

Circuit city used to have a similiar setup. They had an amp hooked up to a wall with a 50ft speaker wire and would wire it to the box/subs and throw it into your trunk. They would turn your radio to a station and match the same to the stations in the demo rooms and it would give you an idea what it sounded like
