Customer Testimonial

SONIC has the best prices, and fast shipping. This was my second purchase. This time I got new Front & Rear speakers for my truck. I installed them the day they arrived and they sound great. No need to ever go anywhere else looking for equiptment.

Less Power, More Bass

Kenwood redesigned the KFC-W12PS Performance Series subwoofer to deliver tighter, more responsive bass all while requiring less power. You'll get strong bass from a sub that's nimble enough to keep up with the upper bass notes, yet efficient enough to run with moderate power and hit the lower notes. This subwoofer will handle up to 250 watts RMS, so it will definitely move some air when you want it to.

Kenwood's "Diamond Array" pattern is designed to strengthen the polypropylene cone, helping it to maintain its shape when you're listening to the bass loud. The lightweight urethane surround has been treated to resist damage from heat and humidity. Throw one or two of these Kenwoods into an enclosure, provide plenty of power, and you will have the bass that you need.

I've had one of these in my car for 5-6 months, and can hardly describe how amazing it sounds for the money. I generally listen to EDM (electronic dance music), mostly bass music, and I feel like I'm at a rave everytime I jam in my car! I love this sub.



It's hooked up to a 500W/250W RMS Alpine amp. A PERFECT COMBO!



Highly recommended!
