Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Pioneer Stage 4 TS-C172PRS by Buck Pomerantz Why install component speakers? A component speaker system gives you the best possible performance from your car audio system. A system consists of separate woofers, tweeters, and crossovers, each designed to cover one specific range of frequencies. As separate components, the woofer can move freely to deliver more powerful performance, while the tweeter can be custom-mounted in a better spot up closer to your ears, revealing a whole new world of detail. Separate crossovers are far superior to the simple filters wired into full-range speakers, so the components work together for smoother, more focused sound. Pioneer Stage 4 PRS Component Speaker System Pioneer PRS Series component speaker systems deliver superb sound with a wide open soundstage, so you'll hear your music faithfully reproduced and in perfect balance throughout your car's interior. Pioneer designed these component speakers as part of their Stage 4 System, along with the DEX-P99RS receiver, PRS Series amplifiers, TS-S062PRS midrange speakers, and the TS-W252PRS subwoofer, to deliver uncompromised sound quality in your vehicle. Three-layer cones for tough bass Multi-layered cone material The TS-C172PRS component system features a 6-3/4" woofer with an exceptionally rigid cone made from polypropylene, Aramid fibers, and glass fibers. The woofer's lightweight micro-fiber surround Pioneer calls it "artificial suede" holds its shape even when the speaker's driven hard, so you'll enjoy strong, accurate performance. An aluminum center plug improves sound dispersion and dissipates heat for a longer life. Cutaway view of PRS tweeter Wide high-frequency performance Each 1-1/8" polyester soft dome tweeter features a sealed chamber that extends its frequency response much lower than the typical tweeter, for a better transition from the lows to the highs. The lower crossover point also helps to open up the sound as more sonic details are broadcast from the tweeter. The TS-C172PRS system includes outboard 2-way crossovers built with audiophile-grade components to ensure the highest fidelity. You can choose between two tweeter levels to adjust for the most natural sound in your vehicle. Pioneer put decades of car audio experience to work in creating these components, so power them up with a suitable Pioneer PRS amp and enjoy stunning sound quality as you drive.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Woofers Tweeters Crossovers Woofers IMX Woofer: Pioneer's proprietary 3-Layer IMX (Injection Molded Matrix) cones are rigid yet lightweight; they significantly reduce mid-to-low range distortion and reproduce a natural sound stage. The woofers' set screw terminals accept bare wire up to 12 gauge. Mounting: Out of the box the TS-C172PRS's woofers are designed to mount in a standard 4-hole 6-3/4" opening. The included adapter brackets allow the woofers to mount in standard 3-hole 6-1/2" and Ford style 4-hole 6-1/2" applications. When top mounting the woofer, the bracket is attached to the bottom of the flange; to bottom mount the woofer, attach the bracket to the top of the flange. Tweeters Soft-Dome Tweeter: The TS-C172PRS component set includes two 1-1/8" soft-dome tweeters with dual neodymium magnets (total weight 0.75 ounces). Pioneer extends tweeter performance to a lower frequency than is typical, creating fuller midrange fidelity and clear, accurate vocals. Mounting: The tweeters can be flush-mounted using the supplied metal clamps. The supplied plastic mounting cups allow you to surface mount the tweeters in an aftermarket location or mount the tweeters in a factory tweeter location behind a factory installed grille. The surface mounting cups let you position the tweeters at one of two angles, approximately 45° or 15°. Once installed, the tweeters do not swivel.

Written By Ken, Diamond Bar, CA on Thursday, September 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I absolutely love the Pioneer PRS line, and these stage 4 speakers have brought me to the pinnicle of my listening experience! Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 amazing speakers Written By Daniel, calexico on Monday, September 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This speakers are the best ...i have many speakers like dls ,morel supremo. And this speakers are the best Pros: All Cons: Nothing Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Mibass. Tweeter Not Bad. Written By sirbOOm, Atlanta, GA on Tuesday, June 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) One of my midbass speakers blew within the first few hours of playing (started rattling, at least) but Crutchfield is replacing it. I am installing these along with the 3" midrange in a 2014 Silverado. Bench testing confirms a DIYMobileAudio.com member comparison report that these are indeed excellent midbasses. They are capable of more bass than most midranges, though allowing them to go below 70 Hz tends to muddy up the upper-end vocals when at higher volume. I suspect this is why the crossover transitions to the tweeter around 2,000 Hz. I compared these to Audison Voce speakers and they are more bass capable and warmer but perhaps with slightly less detail potential in 2-way form (though the right installation will likely mitigate this). I think that because the tweeter is crossed over so low in the passive crossover that it can get a bit stressed but I am running these active with a processor and have been exploring the 4,500-6,500 range with good results. The tweeter is a very pronounced dome behind a few bars for a grill. These aren't well protected and, as such, are not suitable for an exposed door installation or anywhere where your hands/arms may be or an installation in a vehicle that transports little kids where it won't be behind any sort of grill. Have I heard better speakers? Yes. For the price (with the 3" midrange free from Crutchfield), brand new? Unless we're talking raw drivers, no. Don't see these in competitions but... whatever. Pros: Warm sound Great bass capability Beautiful crossovers (paperweights for me, though) Cons: One woofer blew in first few hours (replaced by Crutchfield) Crossovers should be three-way for the 3" midrange Tweeter crossover point ideally just a little higher 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Amazing clarity. Written By CG555, Ebina, Japan on Saturday, June 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Where to begin? Well these components replaced a set of Polk MMs, which weren't bad for their price, but they never had me feeling like I could stay in my vehicle for no reason except to listen to music. These Pioneers, after installing them and giving them a sample, 2 hours later (not really realizing it) I was quite floored by their clean sound. No matter what genre of music I sent to them, they continued in providing aural ecstasy. I'm sure if I had my vehicle setup for SQ they would shine even more. My car is pretty much gutted out as I use it on circuit and as my daily driver, these are real music to my ears. If you're on the fence about picking these up, I can honestly say I doubt you will be disappointed. Pros: Build quality Sound quality Cons: Some might say the price, but I can't say that. Sometimes you do get what you pay for. For myself, this is one of those times. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 component excellence Written By jc, 03301 on Thursday, December 26, 2013 The best sound you will ever get will be from component speakers with the use of crossovers -period Pros: You cant go wrong with pioneer quality... Cons: you will want to spend more time in your vehicle than seems normal to others.... people might begin to talk!! 1 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

If you are looking at speakers for this price you probably know what you're buying. I was looking for sound quality and this is probably the most impressive product I have ever heard hands-down. I'v been going through all of the songs I thought I knew and re-listening to the details I'd never heard before. Set up with Pioneer DEH-80PRS deck & Helix amps/Helix sub.

text: I know it can be done but i am really confused on how. I have been out of archery for the last 10 years and just got a scepter v to replace my scepter 2. I like to shoot way more poundage in the valley than i am getting out of the newer scepter. i am used to holding 21 pounds in the center of the valley and all i can get at 55 pounds out of the scepter v is 14. draw is set at 27 inches. i shoot back tension and the extra poundage to me is a plus for execution of my shot. as for the bow i love the bow!!! the older scepter 2 was in my opinion one of the best bows ever. i shot many a 60 out of the bow. anyhow many thanks. also if i can decrease let off will the valley be really critical? i played with the draw stop and all but i got such a short valley it was scary. one other question on the cam where the inner cables hook up to the bow should the serving be seperating? where it wraps on the cam or i call it the powerside it is seperated and the inner strands are showing on the cam itself it dont look good to me.

Meetings set to help "grassroots faith-based organizations to take small, concrete steps to change a life."
March 16, 2009
DEARBORN / March 16, 2009---Religious groups and communities in the metropolitan area who are working together to provide a wider safety net for our vulnerable children in the foster-care system will gather for orientation sessions at area churches on Sunday, March 22 and Sunday, March 29.
Were going to encourage each faith community to partner with a local social service agency in order to provide at least one special project on behalf of foster children and families in 2009, according to Gail Bagale, a volunteer with the Save Our Children Coalition (SOCC).
These meetings are intended to provide a catalyst that educates and motivates our grassroots faith-based organizations to take small, concrete steps to change a life.
On March 22, the group will meet at 3:30 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church, 1669 West Maple Rd. in Birmingham. Michigan Supreme Court Justice Maura Corrigan will speak.
The March 29 meeting will be held at Citadel of Faith Covenant Church, 8801 Woodward Ave. in Detroit, beginning at 5 p.m. Referee Kelly Ramsey of the Wayne County Circuit Court's family division, juvenile section, will be the speaker.
The Save Our Children Coalition represents a wide range of educators, social service providers, foster-care parents and others representing the many perspectives and voices of those who care about the welfare of Michigans children in foster care, according to Bagale. The coalition was established by the University of Michigan-Dearborn School of Education.
The Faith Communities Coalition on Foster Care is a part of the groups efforts. More than 60 representatives from congregations across the Detroit area have come together to find ways we can work together, according to coordinator Rev. Kathryn Thoresen.
Both sessions also will include opportunities for faith groups to connect with service providers, including foster-care and adoption agencies, mentoring groups and other organizations.
For more information contact Thoresen at 248-835-8151, or the Save Our Children Coalition office at 313-593-5052.

The first one to see it was my 13yr old daughter. She was so excited. I watched it go it to the woods and and circle us. Very cool and great to see that Saturday morning the daughters will be in the center of it.

next stop, Madame Pomfrey's
We were in Orlando last week for the annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmologists, which basically gave us a great excuse to do something that we wanted to do anyway. Universal Studios even had a night where they kept the park open for special extended hours for Academy members and their families, and while this meant that none of my outdoor pictures turned out at all (my cell phone camera does decently with low light conditions, but there are limits, after all), you'll just have to trust me that, perhaps especially at night, this place looked really magical.
The area is set up as some sort of amalgam of Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, and while there were a few rides and a replica of the Hogwarts Express (which puffed smoke but didn't actually go anywhere), the area basically consisted of numerous storefronts (Zonko's! Dervish and Banges!) and food vendors (Three Broomsticks, scattered Butterbeer stands) in order to move Potter-branded merchandise. And I realize that that's sort of the cynical reality of things, and that everything was of course ridiculously overpriced and designed to prey on your love of the books or your weakness for indulging your own children--but look guys, I'm not made of stone. Kids, hope you're in the mood to stay up late, because WE BE GETTIN' SOME CHOCOLATE FROGS AT HONEYDUKES.
The absolute best thing at Harry Potter World though (and the one thing that Cal really, really wanted to see) was Ollivander's Wand Shop.
The wand shop was set up as more of a show really, where small groups of about thirty people at a time were escorted into the store and Ollivander picks a kid out of the throng to perform what they called a "wand-pairing demonstration." The demonstration is much as was depicted in the movies--Ollivander hands various wands to the chosen, instructs him to do some kind of magical task, and the magic goes all haywire until Ollivander finally picks the correct wand, at which point a spotlight shines and aaaaaahhh! a chorus of angels sings from on high because the wand has selected the wizard, blah blah magic talk.
This bit of whimsey, of course, is followed by the cold hard reality of them shuffling you out to the storefront where you have the "option" to purchase the special, magical wand that chose you above all others. (You'll notice that I put the word option in quotes, because really, unless you're some kind of steely-willed gorgon, there is no way in hell after that little show where your kid is looking at you with the wide-eyed wonder of oh my god, this shit just got real that you're not going to buy that thing. There's just no way. In fact, if you're really determined not to shell out for a wand, do yourself a favor and don't even walk in there. I WARNED YOU.)
I do also find it ironic that it was the annual meeting for the American Academy of Ophthalmologists that led to a night of so many kids running around pointing long tapered sticks out in each others faces, but perhaps they haven't been doing as many ruptured globe or orbital trauma repairs as usual and want to make up the shortfall before year's end. Well played, ophthalmologists. Well-played.

That last picture is freakin' awesome. Also, I have no children, but could picture myself walking into this place any day of the week. I mean, butterbeer? Wands? Get the heck out of here. Clearly the only magic going on is that these people figured out a way to get people to separate themselves from their money in minutes, but whatever. Consider me sold.ReplyDelete

I am 32 without any kids yet and I want to go to Harry Potter world pretty badly. Of course, I am the dork that on trips to Ireland and England the last few years connected almost everything I saw to Harry Potter. The tour guide at Trinity College? Looks like Harry Potter. The lake with black rocks surrounding it? Reminds me of Harry Potter. The names etched in stone in the churches? Harry Potter character names.ReplyDelete
Redox Signaling BreakthroughReplyDelete
Word is getting out, and athletes everywhere are trying ASEA. They're getting huge results, and they're even submitting articles to magazines about the performance difference ASEA can make.
We've been reviewed on bicycle.net, and right now, there's an article in Road Bike Action magazine about athletes who took a three-month trial of the product. What they found is exactly in line with what our research shows: that ASEA increases time to ventilator threshold (the point in your workout when your body finds other energy sources because it can't bring in enough oxygen to fuel your muscles) by an average of 12%, and with some individuals up to 30%. What does that even mean? Read what Road Bike Action magazine says in plain English: "We could pedal harder longer and recover from repeated, 100-percent efforts in ridiculously short intervals."
Sixteen years of foundational research led to the creation of the first and only perfectly balanced mixture of stabilized Redox Signaling molecules that exists outside the body. In case you haven't heard of Redox Signaling molecules, they're what your body creates to support the vital functions of the immune system. They're so important that the body manufactures its own supply within the cells.
One set of these molecules is responsible for activating antioxidants. Here's the deal: no matter how many antioxidants you ingest, they can't fight even one free radical until they're activated, so these molecules are important. The other set of molecules are essential for cellular communication, cellular protection, and the healing response. So it's easy to see why your own body makes these molecules. And until now, the body was the only source.
ASEA is a non-toxic, perfectly balanced mixture of Redox Signaling molecules, similar to those constantly produced by all living healthy cells. ASEA enhances and activates the native antioxidants needed to protect and detoxify the cells and at the same time supplements the signaling molecules needed to repair or replace damaged cells and restore healthy tissue and immune function.
What could ASEA do for you and your clients?

Funny story - my family and I went to the theme park in the summer. My cousin and I, who are in our 20s no less, waited in line for Ollivander's for an hour and a half, maybe two hours. Once we finally got in to see the show, we realized we totally could've bypassed all of that scorching heat and waiting if we just went in through the side door.ReplyDelete
Now the wait for the tour of the Hogwarts Castle was ridiculous. Two hours, I think. But that 3D ride was the best of my life. =)

How To Stir-Fry Vegetables
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
We are always trying to eat more vegetables, more greens! A quick stir-fry is one of the fastest, easiest, tastiest ways to make a last-minute vegetable side dish to suit any meal. Grace Young proved this to be true when she demonstrated a basic stir-fry recipe for us: Romaine lettuce leaves, warm and slightly wilted, tumbled in a sauce of garlic and chilies. After that — the same recipe and method, but this time with halved baby bok choy. We couldn't stop eating either of these.
Here is a recipe and a stir-fry technique that any of us can take into our kitchens and adapt to just about any vegetable we find in the fridge.
The technique for a vegetable stir-fry is the same no matter which vegetables you use. This stir-fry of romaine lettuce (and the second of baby bok choy) from Grace can just as easily be made with red peppers and mushrooms, asparagus and snow peas, or bok choy and green beans.

Need a wok? Here's our guide:
• How To Buy & Season a Wok
Grace talking about how important it is to cut vegetables in the same size, and to make sure that they are very dry before stir-frying.
The Basics of Stir-Frying Vegetables
• Don't Crowd the Pan: Grace advises that we stick to no more than four cups of chopped hard or medium-hard vegetables or eight to twelve cups chopped leafy greens in a 14-inch wok in order to avoid crowding the pan. (A sauté pan is fine for some stir-frying, but not great for greens like in this recipe; it's simply not deep enough to hold greens the way a wok is.)
• Dry the Vegetables: When stir-frying anything from snow peas to lettuce, it's important that the vegetables are very dry. Otherwise, the vegetables will steam and braise in the pan and lose their crisp texture. Giving the vegetables a whirl in a salad spinner is the easiest solution, but you can also pat them thoroughly with kitchen towels.
• Pay Close Attention! All stir-frying is quick, but a stir-fry of just vegetables goes even quicker. Don't walk away from the stove or pause to answer a text! Once the oil is in the pan, a stir-fry needs your full attention. For a two to three minute recipe, we think we can handle that.
Stir-Fried Lettuce (or Baby Bok Choy) with Garlic Chiles
Recipe from Grace Young, author of Stir-Frying to the Sky's Edge
What You Need
1 medium head of romaine lettuce, cut crosswise into 1-inch-wide pieces, about 8 cups
8 to 12 cups baby bok choy, sliced in half lengthwise
For the sauce
2 tablespoons dry sherry or Shao Hsing rice wine
1 tablespoon chicken broth
2 teaspoons soy sauce
3 medium cloves garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon minced jalapeño chiles, with seeds (optional)
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
14" flat-bottom carbon steel wok or 12" stainless steel skillet
Fish spatula or other thin, flexible spatula
Lid to cover the wok
1. Cut Up the Ingredients: It is very important that all the ingredients are cut as directed in the ingredient list. The most important key to making a good stir-fry is cutting each ingredient to a uniform size as specified above. Cut the vegetables and set them aside in a bowl. Cut the aromatics as directed and set them aside as well.
2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the sherry (or rice wine), broth, and soy sauce.
3. Prepare Your Wok Space: Set the bowls of vegetables, aromatics, and sauce near your stove. Also, have a very small bowl of water next to the stove.
4. Heat the Wok: Turn on a stove burner, as high as it will go. Set a 14-inch wok over this high heat burner. To determine when the wok is hot enough, start flicking droplets of water from the small bowl into the pan after 30 seconds. As soon as a bead of water evaporates within 1 to 2 seconds of contact, the wok is heated and ready for stir-frying. Do not overheat the wok.
5. Pull Wok off the Heat and Add Oil: Pull the wok off the heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Pick up the pan and carefully swirl it to coat the bottom and sides. (If the wok smokes wildly the moment you add the oil you've overheated the wok. Remove the wok from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. When it's cool enough to handle carefully remove the oil with paper towels, wash the wok, and start again.)
6. Add the Aromatics to the Wok: Put the wok back on the heat. Add the garlic and chiles (if using), and stir them for 10 seconds or until fragrant.
7. Add the Vegetables: Push the garlic up the sides of the wok and add the lettuce (or bok choy, or whatever else you're using).
8. Season the Vegetables: Sprinkle the salt and pepper over top.
9. Set a Timer for 2 Minutes: It's helpful for newbie stir-fry cooks to set a timer to give them a rough idea of how long this dish will cook and to learn a sense of rhythm. But your main benchmark should be how the food looks and tastes. From this point on the vegetables will cook for approximately 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.
10. Stir-Fry the Vegetables for 1 Minute: Stir-fry for 1 minute or until the lettuce or vegetables begin to wilt.
11. Add the Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture around and down the sides of the pan instead of directly into the center (to prevent cooling the pan and lowering the cooking temperature). Stir-fry and toss to coat the lettuce.
12. Cover and Cook for 15 Seconds: Cover and cook for 15 seconds.
13. Uncover and Stir-Fry: Uncover and stir-fry for another 30 to 60 seconds, or until the lettuce is crisp-tender and bright green.
Additional Notes:
• Substituting Other Vegetables: Substitute up to 4 cups of chopped firm vegetables or 8 to 12 cups of another leafy green for the lettuce or baby bok choy in this recipe.
Now that you're done, clean your wok!

I think that lettuce is an underrated stir-fry vegetable. I put it into my fried rice and noodle soups (in place of mung bean sprouts) all the time because the flavor is subtle but sweet.
For those in NYC or just visiting. Cafe China on 37th St. off Fifth Ave., has the most deeelicious baby bok choy as a side dish. This recipe looks just as awesome!
We like to eat a large portion of vegetables, and I find that stir frying is too labour intensive a technique, with all that prep and then cooking small amounts to avoid overcrowding, even though I have a large wok and powerful burner. In fact, unless you're only cooking for one or two people, you will need to stir fry in batches. It's most suited to restaurant cooking (unless you have an army of staff at home).
I have extra romaine at home, and now I know what to do with it. I've never stir fried romaine! Why? Yum!
I don't have a wok, but I do have a very large skillet with high, curved sides that was labeled a "stir fry pan." It works for me because I can also use it to make a Spanish tortilla--not something I'd like to attempt in a wok. I cook for three, so it's big enough. People I know who stir-fry for a bigger group tend to batch cook, yes. They also serve family style, from platters, and everyone nabs what they want from the center. This is a faster, easier (and very informal) way to serve that makes it easier to cook stir fry for a crowd.
I've never tried cooking lettuce before, but I love just about any vegetable cooked this way so I will have to give it a try!
Any tips on keeping the garlic from burning, though? I've tried pushing it off to the side as mentioned here, but maybe I'm just not pushing far enough. I got sick enough of burnt garlic that I started to add it towards the end of cooking instead of the beginning, which means that it doesn't burn, but the flavor also doesn't get infused into the dish in the same way.
Under "equipment", it should be mentioned that a lid for the wok will also be needed.
@Joco - Be careful that your pan (and subsequently, your oil) isn't getting too hot. Try the heating the wok the way we describe here next time you stir fry (Step # 4) and see if that helps.
@Winsomekitty - Good point! Thanks!
