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!

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

great product and great value

I got this subwoofer quick in the mail and it works great!

Excellent Sub!

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.

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 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.

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

Great Thump

Exceptional sound quality for the price in comparison to other major brand name.

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!!!

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

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

WOW

I have 2 of these hooked up to a rockford fosgate t600-2 amp in a 3 cu. foot ported box and wow they beat hard. very great subs. great price. im thinking about gettin another one.

Kenwood KFC-W2511

I bough these speakers like 6 months ago and they still have optimum quality, sound really great.

Awesome woofer upgrade

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!

kenwood

these thing hit hard i have 3 in my 04 ford lightning and they hit peopele here me coming buy them well worth the money!

i baught this sub and put it into a bandpass box, and it hits almost just as hard as my friends 2 12" sonys subs!! i hooked it up to a rockford fosgate 800watt amp, and we barely had it turned up!! this is an awsome sub to buy if u have everything tuned in rite.

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

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 speaker

Does a good job!! great bass! good price too!

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.

(in a sealed box playing electronic music)

Awesome sub

this sub is awesome. hits hard very clear. had no problems setting it up. i recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap but good quality system.

great sub

this sub is great! it hits hard and doesn't have a lot of distortion. nice clean bass.

Very Imressive!!!

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.

Amazing

I was just visiting my friend who recently got a new system in is rx-8
He had these being pushed by a 1000 watt mono Kenwood amp
and man did it sound clean... it was perfect for his tiny rx-8

Slammin!

I got two of these and they are so loud. I have a 1440 watt amp hooked to them and i love them. I would really recommend getting these because of the price.

Good Sub

I got 2 of these running 250rms and they sound great. There lound enough for me and have a nice clean look. I would strongly recommend them!

outstanding

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

they where alright

i like them they are ok i mean i did get the 10 not the 12s i like them they are ok but they not too deep on the base

bad a** sub's

i have this hooked up in my 2003 ford f150 and this are the best subs that are out there no one can out hit this.

Super Buy

Great sub at an awesome price. Big thump great response, the ability to drive bass hits crisp and clean. No paper a super buy.

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

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.

Kenwood KFC-W2511

I would recomend this product to any one. it gives a very good sound quality and is cheap. i only have one but it gave me better sound then the previous pair i owned

Great!!!

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.

Awesome sound! Awesome Price!

I am not sure you can get a better product for the prices. Sounds excellent. Looks great! I’m pushing them with a small Kenwood amp. 2-10” subs with 2-12” sound!

Great VAlue

I do not use this product for realy audio purpose, just for technical experiment. It Works very good.
