Pioneer SWM1032 Linear Power 'AJet' Edgeless Woofer - Excursion Testing

- Finally got my hands on some Pioneer Linear Power woofers from a pair of S-P460 loudspeakers. They are quite hard to find in my experience.
The design is very unique, using two spaced spiders as the suspension, with a small foam gasket surrounding the lower edge of the cone to seal the driver inside the enclosure.

This is my first time seeing the Ajet pioneer woofers ...ive heard of em but never , have i seen such a unique design.
About 18 yrs ago I had a pioneer home theater, and the sub enclosure had 2 of these in it. They were only like 4" and people didnt believe me until I showed them. Most people thought I had another hidden sub in the room somewhere. Even for a small sub, they had a super long throw and would hit the lows like my Klipsch 12. It was the only time I ever saw/heard of/owned any, and this is only the second time today. Pretty amazing little bastards...
I have these too. They are a masterpiece. Each cabinet contains one subwoofer-6ohms, 2 little speakers-3ohms in series and in parallel with the single woofer which gives a total of 6ohms impedance.
these are the coolest speakers ever. My cousin has a Pioneer A700 and these were out of this world...when in its cabinet the pressure is immense...the bass is massive...and its not even a sub.
Don't destroy them dude. Those look funky. Do a unique build. I've never seen those before. And the surround is reversed. That's how they do the edgless. If anything, sell em.
they have been cut
They look cheap and plastic they aren't worth the dirt below your feet lol especially since they are worn
Its ggoooooooooodddddd speakers system 👍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👌👌👌👌🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
It’s one of the best speakers… I’m using this now
That is by far the coolest Pioneer sub I've ever seen. I've never seen anything like it and I'm 48. I'll always be a true fan of old school equipment for many reasons, but the new shit out today!? Sundown, Def Bonce, Incriminator, DS18, Crossfire, Wolfram, Skar, SoundQubed. Its amazing how far we've come. and how much cheaper it is to get the equipment you want. I remember when a top of the line $1,000 watt amp would cost you about $1,000. Crazy. Basshead till I die.
Pretty H E C C I N G clean looks. Very unique. A classic design and still fascinating with the multiple spiders and polystyrene cone!
Don’t cut it, sell it so someone can build something. I hate it when unique drivers are destroyed for the sake of curiousity. I’m certain if you speak with pioneers tech support they will answer all your questions. I’m certain there’s guys here like me who wouldn’t mind owning a pair.
Why? I just got them and they're mine to do whatever I like. The fact that I could cut one up and share a video means that many other curious people won't have to.
WdB Always wanted to see the inside of it
Dont think they have a surround besides the 2 spiders. I have the same woofers, an a similare pair in gray. I have actually seen quite a lof of them here in denmark
Jon Rock dude who cares. Their his and he can do whatever he likes with them. So stop crying over it.
WAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! Don't huwt da dwivahs! STFU!
Cut them biatches up! I'm so curious to see what they look like. I think you'll get tons of hits too. I smell a viral video.
Everything about these woofers are super interesting!
Zero mechanical noise. Really nice
I really love this driver ... pioneer made a lots of shit but also a lot of incredible things like the bad boy
This is one of the more quirky designs. They don't sound very good but they sure look cool
There is a styrofoam sort of cylinder glued on the back of the silver cone and yes, there is a very thin foam ring that makes the seal. However his woofer does has its flaws because under heavy uses air manages to escape the sides. It certainly is a looker. But not so much for sound tho. Also the coil itself is loooong. Ive opened up two of them once. Keep these in good shape!
That’s bloody brilliant
Amazing. It's like an air piston. I bet the tolerances are crazy but man, that Xmax !!
Yes! You've finally found these ! :DThe cone underneath are indeed made from foam, and it will disintegrate overtime (one if mine did) I'm not sure if cutting it half would be a good thing, these are still worth putting in box imo
Always wanted a pair of these
Anyone know the name of the song?
Crazy looking subs.I like them.
i dunno why people want you to cut one in half , i have cutaway pics of them . i am a bit of a pioneer collector but the pics are out there if someone really wants to see .
Yeah, if you could find a cut-away photo for me to share in a video instead that would save a lot of hassle, and clearly a lot of tears from other commenters
Is your name brad by chance??
yea , ill dig it up and post a video or somethin , also did you know they made a car version of these back in the day also ? they were in tubes , i believe they were labeled under the model LPA ''linear power amplified'' and LP '' linear power '' and ''Ajet'' in the home audio , pioneer was /is one of the best edgeless driver builder
mazda2284 I bought a sonido mask 2k from you a while back lol
awesome ! im not doing much car audio anymore but i still have a decent collection , im thinking about changing my channel over to more computer/ tech videos with some custom built subs here n there
This system is OK. I was going to get 1 a few years back, but I opted for the Philips-Magnavox G-Bass system, as it dropped lower in freq response. Plus the G-Bass system had bigger heavier louder woofers. I just wanted to piss off my parents at the time( like 15 years ago). I hope this helps you guys find more info on the system. Here is the info I do have on it. PIONEER S-P3600V EDGE LESS WOOFER BASS SYSTEM Ajet. 150 wpc @ 6 ohm. The system came with the rear speakers as well as the 2 front and a center speaker. Dolby 5.2. It had a 3 disc changer, and yeah kinda like the old Aiwa systems.
Whoa! I never knew these even existed... cool video man, thanks for sharing!
Need to test one of these
Man those are nice !!!!
There is a foam surround. It’s inside the red mounting surface. The woofer just has a tall piston shaped design.
So my brain was thinking these were 12's or bigger and I was like " yo dawg these things are sounding good doing full range" then your hand pops up and I'm like " what ya mean ,a bird" my brain snapped over to there full range 6-8 inch drivers !
No no they're only 6 inch drivers. Surely the thickness of the wires or my headphones in the background would have given that away!
Not really at first, but I really wasn't paying that much attention. Then after I noticed the other things around them, and was like duh I'm an idiot! I think it's because I was only looking at them. I've never even heard of these. So I was just trying to wrap my mind around what I was looking at.
Yea I thought exactly the same, especially since they are so deep... Only seen large subs built like this. Couldn't care less what else was in the background.
DONT CUT THEM IN HALF! These are way ahead of its time! These are incredible...pioneer only used them for mini systems from 1996-1997/98 thats it! They stopped manufacturing them altogether....the designer managed to out do himself...I wish I knew him. The cones have a lubricant around it...and it needs the box to provide the right acoustical pressure for the speakers to do its magic.
Wow. Don't destroy those. Selling is the best choice. You can get a good visual perspective image from the outside view.
DON'T CUT IT
PLEASE DONT CUT THE THING!!!
The response seem really great and it looks like it accurately handles a much wider range than the ordinary sub.
Sell them to someone who will really appreciate them.
that's an awesome driver, I think Ciro589m has em too, they have a nice excursion. Nice video, anyway yes! I wanna see the inside
Great video. I'd love to see you put these into an enclosure before cutting one in half.
its same as samsung inverted surround,, dont cut.. look after them. they are polystyrene cones a couple cm's deep and a surround inside,,,, the cone give itself stability fo high x-max. ... put them in a small sealed box. with a tweeter and pow!
Little Li's cycling Torbay one sub and a tweeter?
Certainly won't work
Never say ....wont ,, certainly could.. yeahh nice 2 inch mid soft dome. 500hz
Little Li's cycling Torbay I would say won’t in this case.
It’s really funny that I’m currently working on a project almost exactly like this and that’s why wrote that comment.
I’m just not using such a cheap woofer which probably has horrible mids for my project, I’am using the Scan Speaker 32w and a SB acoustics SB29 3,5cm tweeter.
I have personally never seen a tweeter which crosses over below 800hz and even my 3,5cm one should be cut of at about 1000hz.
There are drivers by Tymphany which look like a oversized tweeter (like the one in my Thiel CS5) but I’d rather count those as midrange drivers.
I’m very curious to see how both drivers will perform together as it could turn out it be a absolute killer speaker:)
Speaker Toni have you listened to rolands with one sub and one tweeter? They get very loud with very clear sound
TheOneAndOnly FlamingPotato I’am not sure which speakers you mean exactly but I doubt that they have a 32cm woofer with a 2,5cm tweeter without a waveguide/horn.
This has to be one of the most unique subwoofers i have ever seen!
There is most likely no surround at all. The top spider may be what seals the box.
That's awesome. I've never seen these and never knew they made them. What did u have to give for them and how rare are they? I want some of these now!
Rob Land I paid £35 and they're the only pair I've personally found in the UK. I'm sure there are plenty more out there though
I do not even think there is any surround or material in between the cone and the spider, and it probably uses the upper spider for bass and sealing.
The dustcap looks like there should be a tweeter under it, wich would make a quiet interesting driver, but still nice ones (:
Cool videos:)
If you have all of those woofers do you also use them in self-made projects or do you just keep them like this?
Speaker Toni that depends on what condition the enclosure is in when they arrive. With others I tend to keep them in their factory enclosures unless I decide to build something!
I have these and I love them! They sound pretty meh, but damn they're so cool! Mine also had a detached dustcap but I glued it again
Hell yeah cut it in half! Let's find out the overall design. I think the top spider is what is acting as the surround.
It does, i had them also but destroyed them....., i was 11 yo so yea. But the top spider has a latex/rubber coating on it
Just right for the car and car audio FireBOX
Where do you get all those speakers? You have SO MUCH OF THEM.
I played with a pair about 12 years ago, the q was nasty high. Very inefficient and muddy/inaccurate but neat looking drivers.
2002ZRX1200R that's exactly what I have measured from them too
Beautiful sub
I like the color red :)
Dont destroy them put them in a box i wanna see what they sound like
Nice excursion
what is the power ?
My roommate apparently has two of these, considering their rarity (I can't find any that have sold online) what do you think they're worth?
Back when pioneer made good stuff
What's the name of the song
Yes you should do it
What are you studying?
Finishing up my Acoustics undergrad before starting Masters!
WdB Awesome man!
I Just bought also these speakers but with the type: swm1040, but they look the same. Whats the diffrence?
Don't cut one in half. Where did you get these? I want one.
Nice, got them to
Yes i like to see how the surround are
NEAT!
Interesting woofer
It has a inverted rubber surround, just under the cone, to make it look as if it has no surround at all. I've taking two or three of these apart before. If you carefully lift the cone on one side you will see it.
Wow...i thought you diss the sony sa series woofer box :)
Cut one in half, so we can see the design!😁😁
What😳
What is the nave of that track playing????
This subwoofer looks like the Home Depot Homer's Bucket Large Size
Подскажите, что такой подвеса? 👀
Could not hear anything he was saying. Turned my volume up all the way - still had issues hearing everything.
Get better speakers/headphones then
Song?
Those are cool lol
What song was that try to Shazam it and it came out no results please let me know thanks
Monstrosity Sound Inc. Obviously shazam won't be able to find it. I did say the name in the video too... Its woofercooker by bass hit
what's the RMS rating?
what is the name of the song?
Don't suppose there are any TS parameters for these?
Caleb Harber I'll take them and get back to you
Fantastic! Also, subscribed. Glad to have found your channel. :)
now there are glue chunks in your coil gap.
unixd0rk no there aren't. You'd very quickly hear if there were
What song
Is this a full plastic speaker ?
Looks like it.
Plastic isn't necessarily a bad material to make the speaker chassis of. Plastic is a very "dead" material so you won't get any nasty resonances, and it can be plenty strong enough if it's high quality plastic that shaped correctly.
It is indeed - ABS with no glass fibre reinforcement. Not the best material but as commented below, plastic is very dead at low frequency so it shouldn't run into issues with resonance or buzz at it's intended operational frequencies
My QLN Artech 8 speakers have 8" woofers with plastic chassis and they sound very nice.
Agreed. Hybrid Audio (car audio) use plastic with some of there speakers, and Hybrid Audio aren't exactly cheap brand and as for sound quality, they're always winning competitions, so there's gotta be something to plastic - goo.gl/dPN9jH
I've seen people put Dynamat and other sound damping material on speaker baskets. There's not many manufacturers that use Plastic. I guess it comes down to cost ...maybe.
Made in Japan ?
What was the name of the song you played?
I did say it in the video, but it's Woofercooker by Bass Hit
Yeaa it sounds quite like you said wolf kicker by bass head.
It's woofer cooker by THX not bass hit
That's one Fuk of an ol school jamm you've selected there. Excellent choice took me back over twenty years and still bangs
Anybody got the link to the song?
Why waste a perfectly good woofer
Destroy something that works.. Doesn't compute to me
DO. CUT. and blow other one ! LOL
That speaker is way too weird you need to cut it.
the wooden JVC speakers in the background i have a pair of those they are amazing
GALAXY GAMER these are kevlar
What is the track called
it's literally called Woofer Cooker
Don't cut it :(
Where did you find these ? Thanks.
Hard to find? I litterally just googled "S-P460" and found a pair for 15 bucks
Reaper more common in the US then, clearly
I don't see what you're talking about. I see a pair in the UK for 20 pounds each but they're not being marketed for their rarity. you can certainly find some sap who has no idea what he has and sells them for cheap but I'd imagine their value is at least $100 USD each
Dude !
Song? also don't cut them up do a contest so someone can win one or two of these
Erik Britz why should I give them away?
if your not planning on using them then give them to a fan who wants to do a crazy/unique or interesting build with them just seems more fitting then cutting it in half and leaving them in-usable forever same if you give them away to fans who can't afford a decent system etc. heck you can make videos of you building said box for the fan or with him and adding amps etc. aswell be creative man that's the point here
Again, why would I give them away. They're mine to add to my 'strange driver' collection. If you're so desperate to get some then put the same amount of work I did to find and buy mine?
Cutting it in half while keeping the coil intact would make for an interesting video.
Song name is woofer cooker by THX
where can i find this song
KRYLONcommando by typing the name into youtube
nothing came up with the name you gave
Would you consider this a deep excursion woofer then??
Not particularly - there are plenty of other 6 inch woofers with the same or greater excursion ability
Where the surround? Lol
Asuu jamcol
dari indonesia?
@@m.reihan1234 iya syng
Do not cut it open. give it to me. I will take good care of it
I have a set of those that are black
What is the xmax? More than 50mm? And what is the watts? 50w?
No way! More like 6mm. These are only 6-inch woofers!
And the enclosure is rated 70W total - I'd bet most of that rating is for the woofer since it has a fairly large coil
Hypnoz machine.
very sad to destroy something like that, why buy rare items to destroy them
Not going to destroy them.
Send it to pioneer they buy it off from you.
Devialet phantom speakers have edgeless woofers
Nooooooooooooooo
PREPARE FOR SURGERY!!!!! GET TO CUTTING.
cutt it
RockeyDAproductions Oh hey, didn't expect u here bro!
i have been subscribed to him since back when i had something like 500subs and he had around 1000
Dem prices way too high you need to cut it
