Awesome!

I bought these subs as my first subs that I have ever had. I'm only running 125 RMS into each one (I have 2) and they bump pretty good. I'm getting a 2 channel 250 RMS amp when I get more money but I already the amp I'm using right now (yes I know they subs are being underpowered but they still bump). My friends have 2 12 inch subs with double the RMS mine have and I still hit harder. Recommend these to anybody.

THUMP IN MY TRUNK!!!

SONIC ROCKS! FAST DELIVERY, EXCELLENT WEBSITE, AND MORE PRODUCT PICTURES THAN ANY OTHER WEBSITE! THESE SUBS ARE IN A 2003 SATURN ION IN A 0.85 CUBIC FOOT BANDPASS BOX. I HAVE A ALPINE CDE-103BT HEAD UNIT, LANZAR VIBE 286 AMP, KENWOOD KFC-W2512 SUBS, BOSS 3.5 FARAD CAPACITOR, LEGACY LXR4 CROSSOVER, WITH HITRON WIRING. THEY HIT VERY HARD, PLAY FOR HOURS, AND ARE GETTING PURE 300 WATTS RMS. MY FRIEND WHO IS "KICKER THIS, AND KICKER THAT" HAS $2,000.00 IN HIS CAR. I HAVE $640.00 DOLLARS EVEN. NOW, WE ALL KNOW WHOSE SYSTEM SOUNDS A LITTLE BETTER. BUT FOR $1,360 CHEAPER, THAT LITTLE DIFFERENCE ISN'T EVEN NOTICED! NO CONS, ALL PRO'S !!!!!

Nice Sub

The following review is for a previous version (KFC-W2511).

I paired this thing with the Kenwood 8104D, and it hits nice and hard. Holds up very well with everything I throw at it.

good

i bought 2 of these, they sound good when tuned right, i got them hooked up to just above 600W rms through a ssl 1500w mono amp. there are a lot louder sounding subs out there but for the price, i was shocked. the only weird thing is, is one broke in more than the other one did, so it hits the backing plate before the other sub is so i have to turn it down just for the one. but overall great product and i would recommend these to anyone wanting a good deal

Excellent Sub!

The following review is for a previous version (KFC-W2511).

I just bought this sub a few weeks ago and finally had a chance to install it. I am running a 1200W Sony Explod Amp to this single subwoofer with a rockford fosgate amp kit and this sub hits the bass real hard. It is enclosed in a bandpass ported box. I recommend this sub, and with an excellent price.

caution...

This sub is a SINGLE 4 ohm voicecoil so be careful when purchasing a single one of these and an amplifier. However if you purchase two they can wired down to 2 ohms (prefered) and almost all mono amps can easily run at 2 ohms. other than that great quality subwoofer

Great sound - durability issues

I bought these as part of a package for my Son for Christmas and they installed easy, sounded great but one blew within 3 months. We weren't pushing a lot of power at the time, they just seem to be for people who want great sound quality at lower volumes. I wouldn't buy them again.

awesome sub for the price

I have 4 of these and 1 JL Audio w3 15" and it hits hard. Get four of these and you should out bump almost any 2 12's. Still have not found a system that comes close

Good Value

Great sub for the price. The carbon fiber look is great. Kenwood has been around for years. Very reliable product as I expected. I recommend.

Very surprised

I actually got 2 of these subs in a trade. They're in a sealed box and I currently have them hooked up to a 1200 watt Sony xplode 2-channel amp. They pound pretty hard and are very clear. They hit the highs well as well as the deep lows. I would suggest these to anyone whose on a budget. They also sound pretty good inverted and look really cool.

Great product with lots of features at a low price!!!

The following review is for a previous version (KFC-W2511).

I bought the KFC-W2511 about 6 months ago. It is a really good stereo. I hooked it up with Sirius satellite equipment and it works great. Friends of mine think I paid at least $400 for it. Great deck with more features than I can use for under $200.

Great Subs

The following review is for a previous version (KFC-W2511).

These subs are great and still pounding as hard as when i first bought them. If youre looking for good bass but not the deepest then these subs are perfect for you

Awesome woofer upgrade

The following review is for a previous version (KFC-W2511).

I installed this speaker in place of the stock Bose woofer in my 350z roadster. This sub is tough...I dropped my 3/8" air ratchet on the cone twice as I was tightening the 12 bolts to the metal plate that holds the woofer in place and it didn't even leave a ding! Yes, the entire ratchet with the air hose attached! Good thing that the cone is stainless steel coated. The sub is not even installed in a box! I just sealed the area behind the sub with a roll of a/c vent insulation and sealed the joints with silicone. This gives the sub about 1.2 cub/ft of sealed volume. I hooked it up to a 250W rms amp and the difference is AMAZING. I'm a metalhead and the drums and bass solos sound clearer and tighter at 80mph than my Polk DSW Pro500 at home. And best of all, Sonic has a great deal on these. WHAT A BARGAIN! Thanks Sonic!

Great sound for the price

I got one of these from a friend after he upgraded his system. even hooked up to a low-end VR3 amp, it sounds GREAT!
Very little distortion unless I turn the stereo all the way up, but I haven't set the gain on the amp yet. For a smaller sub it really pushes the bass.

Very Imressive!!!

The following review is for a previous version (KFC-W2511).

I bought a pair of these subs and built a custom fiberglass enclosure and I was very impessed with the sound quality they put out. I have them hooked up to a Kenwood KAC-7204 amp. Great product at a great price.

outstanding

The following review is for a previous version (KFC-W2511).

These subs are just what i was looking for......i have two of these peak power horses hooked up to a matching kenwood 1000W amp.....they sound great together.....the box i put it in really fills out the sound too........hits harder than my friends 12''

Great product for the price!

I originally wanted the Pioneer TS-W253R sub since my deck is a Pioneer DP6000 and my amp is a Pioneer Pioneer GM-3300T to keep it all the same brand (for no apparent reason really..) but the one I wanted was out of stock so I got this sub instead. I'm very pleased with the performance, it sounds great in my hatchback. I have the gain just under the normal setting on the amp and wow, its a nice clean sound and hits decently hard. The box I ordered from Sonic had a little chip on one side probably happened during shipping but a little super glue made it look un-blemished. Thanks Sonic, I will be a return customer for sure on my next project.

Ick

Very weak speakers. Bought through a package deal on this site. One speaker blew out within a month at normal volume levels. They are not very loud speakers nor can they handle much power at all. They bottom out very easily making a lovely metallic twang. If you are looking for something to fill in some of the lows in your music these would work. If your looking for something to POUND in your car then avoid these. You will break them.

Great Sub

When i saw this i was skeptical and i read reviews and the majority of em were good so i went ahead and ordered it and some matching speakers for mids and highs and i was very impressed. My gf had a lanzar before i got her this and this one sound soo clean on every note. good price and fast shipping from SE.

Good for bass response

Dont listen to the other peoples reviews. I have been around car audio forever. I have been affiliated with Auto Sound Lab and they say that these subs have excellent bass response and hit hard for a ten inch woofer. The only thing that i had problems with were the voice coils. I ripped them on the center coil. This was due to not letting the subs break in before high volumes. 500 watts rms is a perfect power limit.

Great amp! great buy!

It's a great amp installation was easy and so far I haven had any problems with it. It's the cheapest deal online but it wouldn't been nice to be a little cheaper in price. But over all it's worth it!

Awsome Deal

The following review is for a previous version (KFC-W2511).

I have this single 10" kenwood in my s10 and it hits pretty hard. If you have a small truck that you want to hook up I recommend this with a 850watt amp. For the wiring on it I have the DHD NTX- Gold wiring kit. Overall a great value for high performance.

Great!!!

The following review is for a previous version (KFC-W2511).

Got these boys hooked up to my Hifonics amp pushing 350rms power. These bad boys have never gave me any problems whatsoever. I would recommend if you want good base and sound quality get these subs and also a ported box because when you are driving around the neighborhood you will notice heads turning with these boys and the ported box together in harmony.
