Great Woofer

I just put a pair of them in my 1988 convertible camaro and I am happy with the result. great sound just try it

Superb Subs

I have these hooked up to a 500 watss rms mono block in a ported box, these things get super loud and they make some super clean bass, I recommend these subs to any and all!

nice!!

Good clean bass,highly recommended.just use a good true RMS amp.

great product

For the price this is a steal, I have it mounted in a ported box and coupled with a kenwood 300 watt mono block. Great punchy bass I had to turn the sensitivy down as to not rattle my car apart. I would recomend this to anyone who wants solid bass at a great price.

Nice sub for the buck

I actually bought this sub as a temporary replacement to an old sub that needed to be repaired, but after trying it, I decided to use it for a primary speaker. I really didn't expect it to put out as good of sound as it did. As far as a good sounding entry level sub, I would purchase this sub again anytime.

Great price

I have two of these with an Infinity ref 1300a amp. They sound great everyone who has heard them are surprised when I tell them they are only tens. I would recommend these to anyone, they are a great value I would recommend breaking them in first.
Pros- great look like the all black
Cons- none love these.

Very clean output.

I love MB Quart amps. The sound these amplifiers reproduce are very accurate. I've replaced a crappy amp with an MTX and noticed a significant increase in sound but with tuning it still never sounded right. Replaced that amp with MB Quarts and they produce clean and equally loud sound. Most MB Quart amps are not CEA compliant, including this amp. I do not believe it puts out the full 600watts RMS @ 2 ohms with 50 amps worth of fuses, but it is plenty for my single RE SEX10D4.

Also noted that in the amp box there is a piece of paper that shows wiring diagrams for ohm loads and it states in bold "All Maxxsonics mono amplifiers are 1 ohm stable." This amp is clearly advertised on their website and here NOT to be 1 ohm stable and this is unique to the FX mono amps as a budget approach. I don't recommend trying to run this amp at 1 ohm. Subsonic filter is a nice bonus. The amp is rather large for it's power output, but it looks good!

Kenwood speaker

I bought this sub-woofer as a replacement for a Kenwood 100 W powered home sub-woofer. I liked the idea that the mounting holes all lined-up and the specs seemed to match the home unit even though the speaker was made for car use. I considered other brands (which I'm sure would have been OK too) but decided to stick with the same brand as the unit. So far it seems to be working just fine. It looks well-made and sounds great. And the price and service at Sonic was outstanding.

Great product

Great set of woofers, love the brand, will keep buying Kenwood for a while

Awesome!

I have a 1000 watt pyramid amplifier hooked up to one 10" of these and it kicks! going to get another and a bigger amp. would really recommend this speaker!

Great amp for the price

This is a very good amp.I have 2 MTX subwoofers, 225 watts rms each wired in a 2 ohm load, and they are getting more than enough power. i recommend this to anyone who is on a budget and wants a good amp.

Pros:
Looks great
Gives a lot of power for the money
Ran for a long time on a 2 ohm load and has not gotten hot

Cons:
Not yet!

Great Speakers For your money

This is a great subwoofer for the money, they pound, hit very hard for a 10" sub, I highly recomend the Kenwood KFC-W2513PS subwoofer great for the bucks $$$ running 2 10" Kenwoods on a Alpine class d mono 1000 watt amp with no problems, clean and crisp.

Perfect sub

Perfect sub for my zenclosures custom box in my 350z. Hits pretty hard.

Review

Awesome product! It shipped fast and free. I love dealing with Sonic and will continue to do business with them. I'm an overseas service member and they ship to my fpo/ap!

Very nice entry level subs!

Using two of these in separate .70 ft^3 boxes under the seat of an '02 crew cab Chevy Silverado powered by a Kenwood KAC-5001PS mono sub amp. Perfect combination. Smooth, deep, and punchy. Great price as well.

Great hard hitting sub

I bought just one of these subs and have pushed it hard the whole time I've owned it. It has had no problem with my abuse. I recently bought another one to add to my system

these subs are amazing!!!

i bought two of these to relace a pair of kicker subs that i had, and they literally beat out my kickers before they were even broken in. i have them powered by an alpine PDX-1.600M and it runs them perfectly. i would recommend these subs to anybody who is looking for an excellent sub, at a very good price.

Very Nice Amp

I'm driving an efficient 12" Planet Audio subwoofer in a .8 cu. ft. sealed enclosure, and have this wired at 2 ohms. It is very clean; with no distortion or clipping.

I was pleasantly surprised at the aesthetics of the amp; plus it has decent heft. If i upgrade and go with a 4 channel amp for my front and rear speakers, I will not hesitate to go with an Onyx line model.

Amazing subs

I have two of these subs in a dual ported sound ordinance bass bunker box hooked up to a 1200 watt rockford fosgate amp and these thing beat people say they sound like 12s and they take your breath away in my car amazing subs

satisfied with the results

I installed a pair of these in a custom made sealed enclosure (1.3 cubic feet) under the rear bench in a Pickup Truck. Powered by a Crunch PZA 1400.2 that can deliver aprox 350 watts RMS at 4ohm to each sub (level set to about half way) They pound hard for being on the small side of the sub size range. I am pleased. I am hoping they hold up long term, time will tell. They look sharp.

Bad product

I would not recommend this product at all unless u have a two hundred watt amp because it won't handle any power. I blew both mine in less than a week with three hundred watts rms to each sub which is what they're rated for......... Absolute junk I will never buy kenwood subs ever again!

Gone through 10x of these!

I have a Zx500.1 Kicker amp and I constantly am going through these subs. It's a shame because I heard good things about them. I've literally blown over 10x of these. DnB and Dubstep people, dont buy these, even though they are cheap. They will blow so fast it's not even funny.

Great amp, Small Price

Back around September, I decided it was time for my first sub, I had the sub, box and even wire kits picked out, but was not sure on an amp. Seeing as I had very little budget left, I took a jump with the MBQuart FX1.600. Let me tell you, this is a great amp. I mounted the amp behind the sub box, and I have it powering a 600 watt JVC Arsenal 10 inch in a ported box. At first I was disappointed. The thing had twice the power of other 10" subs I have heard, and still didn't seem to hit as hard. Then I decided to tweak the amp a little. After putting all settings a quarter turn down from max, and then playing with the subsonic filter, I have this thing hitting. This amp puts out enough power to rattle my entire car. Kudos MBQuart, for making a cheap, reliable and still quality amp.

Decent amp works well

Pros: volume control, compact, works well, good price

Cons: wish it had a little more thump for 600 watts

Thump

I ordered two of these to go in my Probes sealed ProBox. Sounds great with my Kicker mono block. Although i havent really been able to listen to these much seeing how my car is getting old and needs repair. Great buy and sound for these Kenwoods. Amp is at half way with bass boost off and they still deliver.

A bang for your buck

For a 10 they hit really hard. My mirrors shake in my car and i only have one, and it hits all its ranges pretty good, not a bad buy at all.

WOW Great Product

Great price, great product very easy to intsall and the main reason I bought it is because it is German engineered and I know that Renegade is very popular in Germany, so it must be a great product and it is. when I run my sub for a long time the wire does not get warm at all.

They have enough thump!

Nice and solid. Simple single voice coils and a clean look. They sound great and can reproduce lows just fine.

Great for the money!

This speaker turned out to be perfect for what I was looking for. So far it has held up great. At four ohms the Kenwood amp I'm using is pushing it at 300 watts in a King Cab Nissan Frontier. In a single 10" sealed enclosure it takes up less room than the single 12" I was using previously. The 10" is much tighter and works with the kind of music I listen to much better. Overall it cleaned up my sound, and takes up less space!

Great price, Great sound!

Bought the Kenwood to replace a 12 year old Fosgate He2 rated at 400rms. Put the kenwood in a 1.0cf ported enclosure. The truth, this thing sounds amazingly clean and loud. I hear no difference compared to the Fosgate. The fosgate was close to $200 since it was one of fosgates top subs back in the day. The kenwood is only $49 which makes it a huge bang for buck.
BTW, my kenwood is being fed close to 400w rms and it hasn't been broken in yet. I'm not playing it too loud right now since I've only had it for two days. So, another couple of weeks and this will sound even sweeter!
I highly recommend this sub vs other brands that cost ten or twenty dollars more at about the same rms rating.
Get two, put them in a ported box and you'll be amazed.

good amp, good price

I would recommend this amp if your looking to save a lot of money. it seems powerful, but not quite the 600 rms @ 2 ohms.... but for the price, oh well. it makes my alpine R10 hit good. it is rather large for its output, but look at size specs before you buy if your short on space. i have this amp mounted on the back wall of a gmc crew cab with the seat about 2 inches away from it and it doesn't get hot at all. Bass knob works awesome. i would buy another.

Good for shallow mount option

I used these under the seats in my Titan and they sound very good for the $. They have a fairly shallow mount and are a way better option than paying extra for the subs they charge a premium for because they are designed as a shallow mount.

Nice Speakers

I love the Kenwood products & have owned several things from Kenwood & have never been disappointed, Great product for a great price.

great 10's

They thunder like no other.

wow i hate them

I have used 2 of these on a kicker dx500.1 and i wired them correctly and they keep blowing. They are not worth even 40 bucks. Make sure you break them in. Mine haven't broken in yet but when they do i'm sure they will sound great.

flawless

Just built a custom box for three of these things across the back of my 2009 ford ranger extended cab and im shocked. I took my alpine type r 15 out to put these in and have no regrets, these tens put the single 15 to shame. I'm running them all through one 1050 watt rms mono block amp and its the perfect amount of power for all three at 50% gain. I would highly recomend these to anybody who wants good clean bass and lots of it. Very impressive.

Decent

The box is well made, but it's to basic. It's easy to put in the speakers. I personally like custom boxes so this didn't work out. It's real good if you are on a strict budget.

Horrible RCA wires

Ok kit for the money but the RCA's were bad after 3 weeks. Had to replace with quality ones and no problems. I would recommend buying a nicer kit and name brand and spend the extra money now so not in the future.

Impressed

Have an 08 Tacoma Quad cab and was limited on space for a sub. Got a custom box from TacoTunes made to fit behind the rear seat. Have a Kenwood KDC655u head unit, MB Quart RA640.4 quad amp, and an MB Quart QA500.1 mono block amp. Front and rear speakers are MB Quart PVM216 components and the sub WAS an MB Quart RWM254 shallow mount 10" sub. The system sounded really good once tuned but the sub left me wanting better low end. The custom box is a sealed enclosure and I thought this was about as good as it was going to get. Don't get me wrong, it still sounded better than most and the sub had good tight bass but I could tell from previous systems that it was lacking. Finally blew the damn thing and was going to replace it when a friend of mine told me about this little sub. He had two of them in his Silverado and they hit really hard in his system but I had my doubts due to my much smaller box and the fact that it was sealed instead of ported. But due to the price and specs I took a chance and bought one. My enclosure has a max top mount depth of 5.6"s and 6.0 cubic feet of volume. This sub requires 5" of depth to mount and .65 cubic feet of volume in a sealed enclosure. Had to mount it upside down but it fit great. Hooked it up and WOW. Don't know if it's due to the cone being concave as opposed to the shallow mount being flat but this this sounded much better right from the get go. Set the amp to supply 200 watts initially but after about a month of break in maxed it out to 250. Again, WOW. The bottom end I was missing is there and truth be told I had to lower the gain on the amp because this little boomer was too loud. It hits hard, and it reproduces the lows very well. Not boomy, just tight and low. Finally retuned the entire system and everyone is really impressed at the sound quality of the system. And no you can't hear me coming from a block away but if I'm driving by your house you'll definitely hear me (or should I say feel me). From smooth jazz to rock this little sub can handle it all. Don't really do hiphop music but I put some Nelly on there and I thought the windows were going to pop. Can't say enough about this little sub. If you need a good inexpensive sub that is easily worth twice what it sells for then this is it. Highly recommend it. Only wish I had room for another one.

great product

For the price this is a steal, I have it mounted in a ported box and coupled with a kenwood 300 watt mono block. Great punchy bass I had to turn the sensitivy down as to not rattle my car apart. I would recomend this to anyone who wants solid bass at a great price.

I love these 10.

I bought it for a friend as he had minimal space,with the specific box,these sounded more than what I expected.clean bass and sounded pretty good

Decent

Did the job. Convenient and Durable. Could be better sealed.

Affordable!

The amp is great for the money. I've experienced no problems after a year of daily usage. RMS output seems accurate, I would recommend this amp to anyone looking for an affordable first system.

Solid Performer at a Great price

Put two of these in my new Sonata. They rock hard. Great Performance Great Value. Sonic got em to me quickly and in perfect condition.

Pretty Good Sub.

Makes good bass with ported box and big amp to push it. Does not like temperature below freezing however, haha. Not so much bass in North Dakota's winter.

hits like 12s

These subs hit real hard, I have the previous model which is the same as this, just a different color, but for under 100 bucks they pound like crazy!!! too bad my amp was defective, it ended up frying the sub, il be purchasing another one of these soon!

Great Sub!

I have one 10in in my car and that thing bangs hard. Way better than my buddies 12in. I installed it myself and it works flawlessly. I greatly recommend this sub.

Not bad....but small

I think I need either more space or a ported box, otherwise, well constructed, comes ready to use, extremely cheap $$$.

Good performer

This sub is one of the best I ever owned and for the price I would reccomend it to anybody that likes good bass.

My second one!!!

I replaced my ailing Db speedseries woofers in the same box with a new box and 2 10 comp vr woofers. Works like a charm and tight seal!!! Fast free shipping rounds out the deal.

What to get

Well I have blown three of these subs and i tell you i am using correct power. I bought mine from b**t buy and they said that these replacement i got is going to be discontinued because of how many people are having issues with them. Listen to me if you are looking for a good cheap woofer go for an Infinity Reference 1060W. They sell them on Sonic they have a 91db sensitivity unlike the Kenwood that has 300rms and 82 db sensitivity its all about power, xmax, and sensitivity that rules the game.

GOOD

Haha I was a little worried at first about the fact that that nobody has reviewed it but when I got it super easy to install no problem I currently do not have a amp however wierd i know but i needed to know if I cut a big enough hole in the car to fit it through and the best part I got it for $31!!! :))) and its for 1000 RMS AND UP
