looking into possibly getting 2 12" Pioneer Premier TS-3004s, each powered by their on Pioneer PRS-D5000s. What do you think? Can I get better banmg for the buck? Any recommended alternatives?

If your going for SPL your definately in the right direction. Those Pioneers are not your CC or BB speakers. They are very impressive for the price, they get very loud and are very cheap. I dont think you can find a better SPL sub for that price. Send a 1000 watts RMS to each and you;ll be amazed.

They look sweet. I have not heard them yet though.

i never hear the words spl and pioneer together even though they set four world records at the 2005 Spring Break Nationals.

Again I'll say it again, these arent your Best Buy Pioneers, there on a entire different level. Don't knock it till you tried it.

Come to think of it, they did beat evryone else at SBN. I didn't know they were using those subs though. The Pioneer guys were gitting very high #'s. Thier indoor display was average IMHO.
