Wicked subwoofer!

This subwoofer hits really hard! Get the right size box and this thing will sing like no other. I have a 250 watt RMS amp on it right now . . just imagine at 350 watt RMS. Ya buddy!

the best

I love this one because it the best and great sound for my car.

Great Sub For the Money

After doing some research I decided to buy 2 of this sub. For my first system this subs sound amazing. The sub response well to bass and has great clarity. At high volume this subs rattle my trunk and car. I am really happy with this Kenwood sub. For the price they sound great.

kenwood 12" subwoofer

Kenwood subwoofers are the way to get great sound for a cheap price. Dont like the price scare you away from these fantastic subs i have bought many pairs of these subs for not just myself but also for many of my friends and my friends friends. These subs work great with the 9105D 2 way amp 2400 watt max output and gives you a hell of a hit when the bass drops. I stand behind kenwoods products and i am a very satisfied installer and owner of kenwood products!!!!

Eh..

My friend bought two of these hooked to a Kenwood 1800 watt amp. These subs are not even close to hitting 1200 watt. Maybe they hit 400, but they dont sound like it. My two Kicker comps hit harder than these with a 600 watt amp. 6 months later the Kenwood sub spider ripped off of the cone. Good sub, for a while, they don't bump.

sick nasty

Ok well I didn't order this sub I ordered the previous model and got this one so i got it half off I guess? idk ? but dude this sub hits pretty good I herd it in B*** B** and in my car and its amazing. this is my first sub i only have 1 in my car cuz i drive a 96 jetta gls, kinda small but this sub is good, i recomend this subwoofer to anyone who wants to bump.

Very Satisfying

I bought two of these subs and put them in a sealed box built to the specs given with the subs. I ran a RFL600D to these subs producing 600 RMS at 2 ohms to these subs. They HIT hard. Unfortunately one of the subs "fried". It was hard to explain but a month after install one of the subs started sounding funny so I unhooked the speakers then hooked them back up and one of the subs was permanently altered. The sub sounds OKAY in a box by itself but once i wire it up with another one..it sounds horrible. Good buy though and great performance

Great Bang for Your Buck

I originally bought one of these Kenwood KFC-W3013PS subs with a Kenwood KAC-9105D, so I was wired at a 4 ohm load @ 500 Watts RMS. I was using a sealed box from Sonic. I soon decided to get the max out of my amp and bought another of these subs and a double sealed enclose from Sonic. Now wired at a 2 ohm load. These things pound. Considering they’re rated for 400 Watts each and I’m pushing 900 Watts (Not bad though, that’s only 100 over – a pretty close match), they hold up nice. I haven’t experienced any clipping. They’ve handled everything I’ve thrown at them so far. How loud are they? Well, I’ve always liked to rate subs by things like; feeling the bass in your throat, moving your hair, tickling your nose, rattling mirrors, hurting your ears, etc. I’ve experienced all with these. My girlfriend said things in the house were rattling when I pulled up the other day. I don’t know what was rattling or how bad, but I know you can hear it in the house and farther. This system does pound. Kenwood is on their game this day and age though. You really get your money’s worth with them. I would definitely recommend these subs.

Big Sound, Little Money

This was a fantastic deal! To get a brand new Sub and not have to pay the store price. I have been telling everyone about this great deal!

Amazing!

I bought 2 of these subs 6 moths ago during the black Friday sale. I've had 3 amps power these subs at 2 ohms and they have never let me down! Everyone turns there head to the amount of bass these bad boys produce! I drive an 01 camaro and i have these in there own separate boxes with 500 watts rms, can anyone say free back massage?

Get them, you will not regret buying this, i promise you.

Pro's-
Performance
Value
Durability
Amazing Bass!!!

Con's-
Maybe bulky-ness? This sub was too big to fit in my old box, so i had to put them in upside down.
Only problem is my system picks up engine noise, but thats not the subs fault.

alright

Great bass however I blew it in a month with a 400W Kicker amp...

THE BESTT!!!!!!!

I have one of these in my basement. I connected it to a Lanzar Max 224 (1000w) amp and it Pounds!! if you think a cheep amp like Lanzar is not good quality, IT IS!! I couldn"t ask for a better amp for the price! If your wondering how to power a car amp in your house its REALLY EASY!!.. You need to get a PC power suply ($5) and search on Youtube: how to hook up car amp in home. theres tons of videos.

awesome product

Definitely recommend to any one awesome subs.gives a punch .like the subs

best subs for the money

You will not find a better sub in this range... i have these puppies on a audiopipe 1800 @ 2ohm and they sing. They are on the border of burning up... but never cross over. Kenwood is still a quality name. If you are in the budget range.. skip over that BOSS junk... Kenwood is the truth... look at all the reviews

great sub!

what can I say its a Kenwood. What made the deal even sweeter was the great price and speedy delivery.By the way, my rear window wiper doesn't work because of the vibration! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who hates their eardrums!

Awesome

I love these subs and for the price you cant beat it, I have 2 of these hooked up to an Autotek AT1000 and wow do they bang hard for rly underpowering them but overall great subwoofer and clean deep bass as well.

Really good

I bought these subwoofers needing more bass and thats exactly what they provide more bass for ur buck! They sound really good not even tuned yet n im shaking my mirrors in the is300 lol i hugly reccomend

Great subs

Great for the price and they hit really good. Couldn't have asked for any better. Specially for the price.

missleading sub

this sub really isn't even as good as a kicker comp. The hugh magnet cover makes the sub look kind of beefy but once you take it off there isn't much left. if you want to see what your really getting look at the oldest model. In an appropriate sealed box these subs will last but in a big ported box they will eventually bottom out and blow out.

HOLY ****

i bought two of these a few weeks back and have absolutely no regrets. i bought them to replace two 10s that i sold in the winter. I had no clue that they would BANG like they do. I wired them at 2 ohms. i paired them with a lanzar vector 3000.1 mono block. This amp, at 2 ohms, is rated at 2000 watts but obviously its not really true wattage so the subs are seeing around 1300 to 1400 watts. They vibrate my windshield wipers and my windows like CRAZY!!!!! I really think my trunk latch will break soon no joke. Get them you WILL NOT regret it.

Tight Bass

I have owned may subs over the years and have to say this might just be the nicest one yet!! Tight, Clean, Deep Bass!!!! I have pushed Old School, Metal, Death Metal, and even some Country (Have to keep the girlfriend happy) and this sub has rocked it all. No distortion!! I really turn this thing up and it seams to just want more!! MUST BUY!!!

Great speaker

Very good sound playing speaker good for the price give it an A+

BEST LOW PRICED SUB

This is the best subwoofer you can get for the price I have 4 of these in my s10 amd they hit HARD. I have 2 of these in my bros 02 acura tl . These are great sub i would recommend these to my freinds.

Best Bang for Your Buck!

I've had two of these now for about a year and a half, and they are just as good as the day I first installed them in my 09 Hyundai Elantra. (probably a little better than when I first installed them because they're broken in now) What's nice about these, is first, CEA-2031 compliance on such an inexpensive sub. Next, is that its one way linear excursion is 15.1 mm, which you usually expect from SPL competition subs. Lastly, is that the rms power is in fact true. all these things I said I decided to buy a third one on Monday. I just finished building a dual front baffle sealed enclosure for them that has about 4.308 cu. ft. of airspace giving them 1.436 cu. ft. of airspace each (without driver displacement) so it should put out relatively tight controlled sub-bass frequencies. Overall, this is going to be the best bang for your buck!

Great Product!

Don't let the price fool you. I bought 2 and hooked them up to an Alpine MRP-M1000 amp and they sound amazing! They hit fairly decent. With Sonic's great prices and fast shipping it makes them even better!

Wham!!

Trust me you would want to buy these!!!

WoodKen

Let me just start off like everyone else and say this is a good speaker for the price. I recently bought the kenwood package that came with the 2 12 KFC-w313s and a sealed box for 150, not a cent more. The shipping was free and only took 4 days. I got a 1200w planet audio mono runnin them at 2ohm 600rms and they already shake my mirrors, great price for clean deep bass.

Boom Goes The Dynamite!

Read other reviews on this product. Trying to find something that can compete with my old "Shaker" sub, until now! I currently have one and it being turned up not even a quarter on my headunit and halfway on my amp (still break in period for sub) shakes my Accord. If I get two will probably break some windows, or even just the one full power'd. This sub is a beast! Really pumps and is a great product! Out of the box you can tell this is one heck of a good time! Bass lovers enjoy!

Great subs

I have 2 of these reverse mounted on a ported box tuned to 36 hz on a 1,500 watt amp, and these things pound! Make my roof and back window flew pretty hard in my extended cab truck. Neighbors thought I had 2 15s. I would recommend these subs to anyone.

Kenwood 12"

I have always like ken wood systems decks and amps but never really was a fan of the subs. Well my Rockford p3 blew so I was looking for an affordable replacement, I thought I'd take a chance and it paid off. I'm very impressed with how this 12 hits. Definitely would recommend.

fantastic in any space

i personally own 4 of these subs 2 are in a 2.5sq ft ported box in a 2007 jeep grand Cherokee with 2 MB Quart fx 1.400 amps at 400rms one amp for each sub and they sound amazing nice clean loud bass. then i have two of them in a 1985 ford ranger standard cab in a 2.14 sq ft sealed box behind the seat with a kenwood KAC-9105D powering them at roughly 450rms wired down to 2 ohms and they have cracked 2 back windows now and broke 3 rear view mirrors don't me scared by the price they are very under priced

good deal

For the price its a great deal compared to other speakers glad I bought it sounds great , easy install

Loud

This sub hits hard! I have i2 runnin on A kenwood 1800D mono block amp, and they bang hard! But I had them for over 2 years and still beatin crazy. I'm tryna upgrade to something louder tho

Good bang for the buck

I bought this KFC-W3013PS to replace one I had that had a rattle. I thought it was a bad sub but now I'm thinking it's fine but I'm going to sell it since I bought this other one. Anyway, I think that's not too unusual to run into a problem like that with subwoofers that you're pounding 900 watts through, plus I over tightened when installing in the original box and cracked the plastic ring, so that could have something to do with it. Anyway, these subs have handled everything I've threw at them so far and they sound awesome. I think you get a lot for the price with these. But since one of them have had that issue I did rate them a little lower. I would still recommend them though. If you want to spend the money then buy JL or something. If you want a good system for a reasonable price then buy these.

Outstanding bang for the buck!

My wife bought a pair of these in a bass package with a Kenwood kac-8105D amp and a sealed atrend enclosure and gave it to me for father's day last year. I have them installed in my 99 Toyota 4runner and they kick butt! They hit hard, sound great and haven't given me any problems. Been pounding out low deep bass every day for almost a year. Best subs I've ever had for such a low price. Get 'em you won't regret it.

Great subs

Amazing solid sound perfect for my Jeep Compass. Would definitely buy again

awesome subs

Kenwood is old school but these sub's are incredible, using 800 watt amp and these things thump, would not recommend the crunch amp package deal, this so called 1800 watt amp didn't even move the sub's, had to get another and went with a Kenwood to match sub's and NOW they are crazy sounding. Kenwood did there homework on these sub's!!!

not bad for the price

I have 2 of them hooked up to a gravity.7500 @ 2 ohm 900 watts rms. They hit hard and push some air too. But I did notice they smelled burnt for the first week and that's with my gains and bass boost down.there good for now .

Hit hard never had problems with them

Hit hard never had a problem with them I would recommened but I do want to try other things but these do work great.

very nice

Great sounding subwoofer. I bought this and hooked it up to a 300 watt 2 channel amp and the sub is just too much for this small of an amp. When pushing it the amp overheats and shuts off after about 5 minutes so i suggest at least a 500 watt amp. Overall a great product for the price.

Four of these!

I have four of these bad boys in a sealed box. The box is sitting at 6.0 ft^3 after displacement. They are wired down to one ohm on a Hifonics HFI 2000 watt RMS amplifier. These things are crazy! I'm shaking other peoples cars. Today, I parked next to a jeep and shook its soft top on the side closest to me and the backside! I can't wait to build my ported box this summer, then their true potential will show! I highly recommend these! Cheap, durable, and powerful!

Install in minimum 1.90 Cubic Foot PORTED box and you'll develop a permanent grin

Using a Kenwood KAC-7205 2 channel amp bridged to 1 channel for 500w x 1 RMS and a 2 farad DB Link cap. First started out with a 1.24 cubic feet sealed box and it hit hard. Very clean and responded great to several frequencies. Switched to a 1.93 Cubic Feet ported box and it sounds like I have 3 x 10's or 2 x 12's with no distortion. VERY IMPORTANT!! Use an online port length calculator to determine the correct size of your port. The wrong length will make a huge difference in sound. My slotted port opening is 4.75 tall by 2.5 wide and 11 inches long/deep. I have to show my friends it's only 1 sub before they believe me. Can't imagine what 2 of these would sound like.

did not last

Did not last three months warranty does not cover blown speakers. Had 400 watt amp on it.

good prodect

This is a good sub, i bought 2 of these with a Kenwood 1800d and with my amp fully up these subs really bang. They not loud enough for me tho,
my only problem is my wiring dont buy cheap wires BKuz mine started melting under my hood. My fuse holder melted, my wires started burning. Get a good wire kit.

Awesome Subs!

I bought these subs a few months ago and they still hit hard to this day! I have them in a very small box right now unfortunately but I will be making my own box soon tuned to 31 hz and giving them each 2.44 ft^3. I'm running them off of a Kenwood-KAC9105D amplifier and they are just astounding! I'm a huge fan of kenwood series subs and I definitely recommend these to anyone and everyone!

One of the best 12's ive ever heard

I bought 2 hooked up to a Power Acoustik 5500 watt BAMF and these 12's handle like champs. They hit the super high bass and the deep low bass. Best 12's I've heard for a great price!

Love it

I bought this speaker a few weeks ago and let me tell you the rich sound I get out of it is great. Will come back and buy again , no hassle , or long wait for product. thanks Sonic

Great!

This sub is a great price and hits pretty hard. Haven't had any problems and was perfect for my car. Well worth the money.

NICE!

Matches my Cerwin Vega mono block amp 1000 peak 500rms. Best match up with my kenwood woofers.

Great buy!

Purchased these Kenwood subs with a mono Block Kenwood amp. AWESOME! So much bass it's unbelievable. No cracking or distortion. These are a must have.

Great Sound

I love the way this speaker sound, very clean and clear

Great product

Great product. Works great! Been used heavily and works just like the first day.

Cheap, but great sound

I have been through many a subwoofer in my day. In recent history, I had a JBL sub that voice coils fell apart. I had a JL sub that lasted a few months before it came apart. I had a Boston Acoustic that just completely stopped making sound.

This Kenwood has outlasted most of those brands so far, and it sounds much louder and better bass than any one of the previous sub woofers. You cannot beat this speaker at this price anywhere.

awesome

This sub for the price is unbeatable I have two of these and they pound like crazy, hooked up to a power acoustic 2000w amp and trust u will not regret spending your money on these.

LOVE THESE SUBS

I have 2 of these in a ported box. It's about 2 cubic feet a peice with a kicker 1000zx and man these baby sound so good. Thinking about buying 2 more and another kicker 1000.

best bang for ur buck

Never hear such quality or bass level from a $60 speakers. Had 2 in a dual 1.25 sealed box (each speaker). Powered w rockford fosgate 500w amp and they hit. These will work great esp if u have a rear that is inside the cab. Can't beat theses speakers for the price. I upgraded to two p3d4s-12 tho

Great Performance

I recommend this product. They are smaller than other speakers of the same quality and power. I know this because i went from Rockford Fosgate Punch 3s which physically couldn't fit in my jeep wrangler without taking the back seat out. They sound great and hit really well in a competition. 900 watts to 2 of these made 131 dB

Good Subs

These are very decent speakers for the money. They hit hard and can handle plenty of power. They don't play the low frequncies quite like I wish they would but they are good subs. Then again, they're in a sealed box and I may not have amp set up right. Overall sound is unbeatable though.

Keenwood

I had 2 of these for about a year hooked to a 2400 watt hifonics amp, i had the amp turned down low, and they hit really hard at first but they eventually blew.

Value value value!

I jus got this with a sub and enclosure package and put it in my 8th gen civic. WOW! It's just 1 speaker and it bangs so hard! And to think I was gonna get 2. The bass is deep clean and crisp. Now I just gotta find a way to stop my entire car rattling apart :)
Ps- I just got it so I can't rate it on durability...

Great Sound

I love this sub, i have it in a sealed box and it sounds amazing. I had a JL before but if i had to buy another sub i would go Kenwood

pretty good subs

Easy to use. Only one voice coil but if your looking for a good sub at a great price, here it is.

Great bang for the buck

I currently own 2 of these in a fierce audio dual ported box. These subs hit very hard in this box, and are very affordable. I've heard alpine subs and all of that, but if amplified correctly and put in the correct ported box these subs sound very very good. Good SQ and extremely good SPL. Extremely pleased with my purchase.

Unreal

This sub hits tooo clean. running 500w and this sub is so dirty i have to take a shower everytime i get out of my car.

Excellent sub for the price

So far (I've had the sub installed for about a week), this sub's performance has been surprisingly good. I did have high hopes, as it already has strong reviews - and I wasn't disappointed. I've had modest systems in the past, and this one blows them away. I have it in a factory-recommended 1.25 cu. ft. sealed box, and it sounds awesome (driven by an ATA 1200.2, part of a bass package from Sonic). I couldn't imagine having two of them in my truck.

good subs

These subs bang, just wish Kenwood would make something to compete with alpines type x.

Lots of bass for the buck

Entry level Kenwood delivers clean bass without spending a lot of money.

I love these subwoofers

I would definitely recommend this product to a friend, I think these speakers have the best sound quality for a single coil sub woofer. with that sated this is probably the best sub woofer for the quality without "breaking the bank"

Great value

These are great reliable subs. I have 2 of them being ran by a 1500 watt amp, and they sound amazing. They make my car shake, at about a quarter power. I highly recommend these.

Good

I have these installed in my ml430 they bang hard

great product

There is tons of movement in this sucker one would think it's going to pop out but it doesnt. Definitely buy.

Best Buy

Hands down, best sun for the price! Runnin 2 of these through a 900 watt kenwood amp, so 450 a piece in a 5.5^3 ported box @32hz. Hits 139db in my Buick. tight and accurate, huge low end, and keeps up with metal too. I swear by these. they are great in small boxes, ported, huge boxes, sealed, ect. at all power ranges. I've tried 300 rms, 400, 450, and 500 it eats it all day. I put a 3 on features, cause it only comes in 4 ohms, and there is no DVC for wiring.

Absolutly amazing sub

The loudest and boomiest sub I've ever heard, have one sub with a Kenwood amp and it vibrates my windows. Worth every dollar.

Pretty good

They pound really good, but i recently blew one of them because i had a 1800 watt amp connected to them and had it up all the way for 20 min and it started to smoke haha.

Best bang for the buck!

I bought two of these 12" Kenwoods, for my son's toyota Celica, and paired them with a Hifonics Brutus BRZ1700.1D which is rated at 1200 watts rms at 2 ohm. These subs handle it with ease. I've been building systems since 1989 and have had some big systems, so I'm not easily impressed. They hit hard and deep enough to hurt my ears which isn't easy to do. Just remember don't go cheap on the amp, you can't have too much good clean power. It's when you ask too much from an amp when it starts distorting and clipping which will blow the best of subs. I'm running 600 watts a piece to these subs and they're only rated at 400. Just adjust the gain so they don't distort and you'll be good.

nice

Nice sub for the money. Big kenwood fan from years ago on the other hand just upgraded to 2 pioneer champion pro series 12" subs dual 4 ohm vc with 2 brutus 1200.1 mono block amps there pushing 900 watts rms at 2ohms to each sub. That's 1800watts rms all together so major change but loved the Kenwood. If you whant knock on a budget thats the way i would go.

They thump!

I got a pair of these 6 or 7 months ago, so I had to baby them at first. Now that they're broken in, they knock hard!

great!!!

Don't let negative comments fool you these subs handle pleanty of power!! They are very durable and make some hard hitting bass! :) nothing extreme but pretty awesome on budget best 60$ subs!!!!

Good subs, not bad for the price

They are good subs for the price, I was very pleased. However not even after 6 months of ownership one of the two i purchased has begun to blow. No bueno. And i'm not even begging to give them too much power, about 250 watts to each sub. So not a bad purchase, just wish they were a little more durable.

Sounds great and hits hard!!

This is a great sub and sounds so good in my Ford explorer. I only have one because of my limited budget, but wow that's all I need!! It impresses everyone that gets in my truck. You have to tweak some settings on your amp and head unit but after that they're ready to pound!! I would absolutely recommend these to anybody!! They do a great job of producing solid bass.

Great product

Fast shipping, Great value, all around good deal

Kenwood 400w 12s

These are the best $60 speakers I've ever heard. Great product. Even better for a vehicle without a trunk. But I upgraded to 2 p3d4-12s

great sub for sure

Awesome product from kenwood. I've tried other brands before and haven't been as happy as I am with this one. Great high and low bass with clear quality and pricing!

Nice Sub

I haven't had any problems with it so far, it hits hard, and it sounds great. Good value for the price.

AWESOME!!! JUST BUY IT!!!!

perfect fit, great design, very durable and I will be buying more of these units in the future.. puts out massive bass in the right box..

Great Value!

I purchased this as a package with this enclosure:

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_951_Single-12-Sealed-MDF-Subwoofer-Enclosure-Belva-MDFS12.html

At around $100 it's a great value.

It is powered by a Sony Xplod 850W amp, and gives a nice wide range of performance and far superior to the 10" Xplod sub it replaced.

Powerful, yet tight and not boomy.

amazing sub for price and all around

I have one of these with a 1.23 cf box and an alpine 300 watt class d on it and it hits harder, a lot harder than my 460 watt triple 10" mtx blue thunder box did. All sealed boxes... this sub makes my nose itch at 3/4 system volume with the gain about 1/10th from 0. If I could get this bass output with a smaller box that would be even better. I have put test tones through it that have melted many a voice coil, but this sub doesn't flinch.

Great Sub!

This was my first sub. I put it in a sealed box because the sub doesn't get that low and wow do they sound amazing. This one sub shakes my car so hard and im waiting on another one that I ordered in the mail cause I wanted more volume out of it. I would recommend these subs to anyone who is starting off or is on a budget who wants bang for the buck and listens to a lot of different music. If you want to have your car flex like crazy or make hair tricks your better of saving some money and getting a 15" sub in a tuned box or 2 12" kickers, alpines, NXV, you know where im going with this its gonna cost you. But yeah the most important thing is to get a great amp to power these. I have an Alpine v12 (Mrd-m605) and it make my one bang hard cant wait for the second one to come.

Good sub!

I would recommend these. It sounds very good paired with my Hifonics amp.

nice kenwood subwoofer

Kenwood subwoofers are great. one subwoofer enough if it kick strong at right time.. Happy with this subwoofer.

Incredible Value

This is the first sub I ever owned, and I couldn't be happier with the high quality and durability it has given me. I started off with a single 3013ps as a Christmas gift last year, and added a second this summer. When paired with an able amplifier, these bad boys can make your ears ring (I have a Hifonics BRZ 1200.1D). My friends always want to ride with me because they are all in love with these subs! I've never had a problem with either sub, and have no idea how anyone could blow one of these LOL! While you won't win an SPL competition with these, I guarantee you WILL have the loudest and cleanest system at school/ work/ in the neighborhood..etc.

Don't be scared by the low price either!!! They are worth the money. Sonic, as always, has unbeatable prices!!!

Subs

Just excellent They work perfect no des torsion at all at high volumes.

great mid level sub

This thing has great punch for rock and boom for rap. Had it hooked to a JBL GTO7001 and it was ok. Then i sold that amp and got a Memphis mcd1000 and it sounds amazing. If i cant get the best of the best get this it is the next best thing.

Should have stuck with the older model.

The KFC w3013 is poor quality compared to the older model KFC w3012 even though it says the specs are the same I blew them in 3 weeks using the same amp and set up I used for my w3012's and they lasted 2 years.

Kenwoods bang!!!

I got these 2 12s in a ported box with a crunch amp at 700 rms and they make my head hurt if I play them too loud for at lest 10 mins!! Been a kenwood fan since I was a boy and now that I can afford them I'm not disappointed! Oh yeah I got them when at a great price!!!

Awesome!

This sub is awesome, I purchased for $65 back when it was available for that price, but either way this sub bumps, I has great sound, gets nice and low, it hits a lot of different notes. I have it hooked up to my 1000Watt kenwood amp, and its a great combination. I would Highly recommend this sub to anyone!

Sounds great

Bought a single sub and had a box made for the specs. I won't win any competitiions but that's not what I want. The single sub sounds great hooked up to my factory 2014 forte koup had unit.

great

I have one in a sealed box hooked up to a 1600 watt amp and it sounds great. I just recently ordered another one and I'm almost scared to hook it up.

Sounds AWESOME

These things sound great, I have two of them in a custom ported box I made with a power acoustik bamf 2000 and they really hit in my focus hatch. My buddy has 2 p2 punches and they sound just as good for a fraction of the cost! They really turn heads at school and for the sound quality you can't beat the price. Buy!!

HitsHard

I LUV this Sub.... No Cons. Purchased with the 1.12 cu ft box and it plays metal and rock absolutley perfect.... I feel like I recieved a grand bargain...

Awesome speaker!

This speaker is great, with the amp and the deck I'm using, and the box I built around it, it takes quite a beating and sounds unbelievably good! I would recommend it to anyone!

Amazing

I have one of these in a 1.8 cu/ft ported box running on 400W RMS and it hits. My windshield wipers don't stay still anymore. The roof of my jeep flexes like crazy. My friends can't believe it's only one sub. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Great Boom For The Buck!

I've owned these subs for about 6 months now and have put them to the test and they've impressed me a lot!! For what I actually paid for them and what they produce, they're definitely worth every cent!! I can't really list anything negative(so far so good). I highly recommend these subs if you wanna get awesome sound with hard crisp beats from them.

good sub

Excellent sub sounds great. Sonix great delivery will buy always from them thanks.

kfc-w3013ps

I just bought thee subwoofers and a kenwood1905 amp and I hooked them up and they pound so hard that the Windows shake and I put some change on my trunk and it flips pennies and I have had several brands of subwoofers always a pair and a decent amp but these blow away all competition. For the price definite must have if your on a budget and want the most bang for your buck. They slam in my malibu and I have spent more coin for less in the past. If you like loud pounding bass go getcha sum of these and a ported enclosure and get ready to feel your lungs vibrate.

Couldn't be happier! :D

This sub is amazing. It hits really hard!! Highs and lows are spot on amazing! I have it in a 2.5ci ported box with a 1000watt amp. This sub is far better in design and quality than its competitors. You will not be disappointed. GET THIS SUB!

Straight!!

Pretty good for the price and I saved a lot of money by not buying from the competitor.

KENWOOD KFC-W3012

I bought this sub awhile back to uprgrade from a 12" Sony explode. It's a decent sub, especially for the price you can't go wrong. Don't expect too much bump out of it. If your just looking for a good, clean , tight bass, this is a good starter sub for you. I didnt keep it very long, so im not sure on the durability of the sub, but as with any cheaper sub, dont try to over power it and you should be happy with your purchase. I would personally recommend always getting a dual voice coil sub opposed to the single just for my wiring options.

Great subs.

These subs hit very hard for the price. I have them running off of a Kole Audio amp. These have a great sound quality and I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for added bass on a budget. They have been very good with no problems in over a month of use. They don't seem to be very much quieter than a more expensive sub to me.

This sub BUMPS

If you take the effort to get a good amp and throw this sub in a good ported box, you'll be turning heads at every street corner.

Kenwood KFC-W3011

I bought two of these subs and they sound great! If you are looking for a low cost but powerful sub these are for you! Buy with confidence!!

kfcw3013ps's

Great pair of Subs for such a low price. I have to upgrade my Bose speakers (connected to my alpine voice amp) in order to keep up with the bass at full volume. Just installed them the other day, I'll know in a while how the quality is going to last.

great sub for sure

Awesome product from kenwood. I've tried other brands before and haven't been as happy as I am with this one. Great high and low bass with clear quality and pricing!

Woooooaaaaaa

I've always heard ya get what ya pay for in car audio and normally its true...I have a kicker ZX750.1 that was push in one kicker CVX 12 in a ported box and it sounded like crap and the sub couldn't handle the amp at all...replaced it with 2 of these in a sealed box and was blown away at the sound....I got 2 of these for the price of one kicker so to say the least thumbs high!!!!!

Great for the money and SQL

This is a great subwoofer if you are looking for great sound and spl. It is super loud and can take a beating it is almost as loud as my friend's Kicker l7 and a lot cleaner. Just put it in a ported box at least 1.8 cu ft for you to hear the quality.

Kenwood KFC-W3013PS

Very good service fast delivery I would buy from them again.

Amazing

I just bought a pair of these and im running them on a 1000 watt amp and they are amazing so far. I'm new to this and I am definitely satisfied. I highly recommend.

ULTIMATE BUDGET WOOFER

Man, i was on a budget and got two of these for $100. SO WORTH IT. SET COP LIGHTS OFF WHILE DRIVING! Hooked up to a hifonics 1000w amp. IT ROCKS!

Best Bang for the buck!

Sonic Electronix Delivers another great product at a great price. Hooked one up to a Infinity 1300a in a 1.50 Cu foot ported enclosure and this thing pounds way harder than the infinity 1262w I replaced this with. The infinity blew after 2 weeks.

BEST SUBS FOR THE MONEY!!!

Loudest hitting 12's ive ever heard. Dont think about them. Just buy them. I slap 1000 watts to them and they kill my ears.

kenwood

This sub has a great sound and is very durable. It's not the best but it kicks pretty well especially for the price. I would definately recommend it to a friend.

Sounds great and hits hard!!

This is a great sub and sounds so good in my Ford explorer. I only have one because of my limited budget, but wow that's all I need!! It impresses everyone that gets in my truck. You have to tweak some settings on your amp and head unit but after that they're ready to pound!! I would absolutely recommend these to anybody!! They do a great job of producing solid bass.

Kenwood KFC W3012

This subwoofer is awesome, just like SonicElectronix.com
I would recommend this sub to anyone who want a powerful system
pros: quality, power, durability, Value
cons: nothing

Good quality

I have one kenwood KFC-W3012 in a ported box in a Ranger single cab. I have a 1,200 watt amp and it hits really hard, vibrates all mirrors and me lol. It doesn't really register the low bass as well but besides that its worth the money.

hits harddd

i have a ford ranger and for the size of my cab in my truck you can hear my sub in class when i pull into the parking lot. on my 600w polk amp. i have been super hard on this sub for over a year and its still strong

Kenwood 3013 12" subs

I recommend these 2013 Kenwood subs they are great for bass in a enclosed box for heavy pounding. They are also good in priceing and affordable, so get a Kenwood 12" or higher or lower they do make my trunk pound a whole lot of people say wow what u banging in your trunk they sound loud I tell them Kenwood and they are like wow Kenwood they sound like kickers they surprise me that they end up with the same model type Kenwood brand:

6 Months Later

I have had this for 6 months so far and thing sounds better now then what it did the first week still goes hard really good sub for the price

Totally recommend it

Top notch subwoofer

I have owned 3 of these speakers and none of them ever let me down. In the previous car I owned I had two 12" subs with a 1000 watt kenwood amp and it sounded great. The subs were used when I bought them and were about 1-2 years old but still sounded like new. I used them for about a year blasting music everyday and they still sounded new when I sold them along with the car. When I bought my new car I wanted some bass again so I went with another one of theses speakers. My current set up is one of these speakers and a 800 watt max amp and it sounds great in my hatchback. The speaker is super durable and sounds amazing. Nice clean loud hits with any type of music. I highly recommend this speaker over many other brands.

Great Sound for a Great Price!

These subs are amazing I hooked them up in my car this past weekend and let me tell you they bang hard. I have them bridged and hooked up on the Kenwood 1800 watt KAC-9105D amp. These subs have a great sound for a low price. The bass is very clear with no distortion no matter how high the beat or how low. I am very satisfied with these subs and would purchase them again. I am a fan of kenwood and I must say they did a great job with these subs. Shoutout to sonicelectronix also for working with people like me who are on a buget and looking for a great sound. You guys are the best!

Awesome

I got 2 of these as my second system ive owned. By far way better. Ive had these for almost a year and still hit like new. have a 1800 mono block amp with dual ported box.

Awesome!!!

These work Awesome and for the money you will have a hard time finding anything better!

Kenwood

Great subs I've had them 6 months now and they're still beating my trunk up. Love my kenwood!!!

AMAZING SUBS

These subs are amazing. I have them hooked up to a Hifonics 1000.1D, 1200RMS and they sound amazing. I replaced my 2 12" Rockford Fosgate Punch series 1 subs, 1000 watts altogether, and man what a HUGE difference. MY old subs didn't even give me a headache and after a while these do. The hit good deep bass and fade out on the high bass notes just how i like. For the price these are a must have! They're a steal!

pretty good

ive given this sub a 2.1ft^3 box i made with a slot port and fed her 750wrms i have no problems with her, ive slammed her for 3 hours she get abit warm but not HOT, clean deep hard bass i have.. this product from kenwood shocked me.. also there amp was pretty nice too. good buy!

Wham Wham!!

These things wake my neighbors up every time I come home. I have 2 installed in a 3 cu.ft bandpass box wired to 2 ohms with a 1000 watt Kenwood monoblock D class amp and they shake my rear view mirror completely to the side. Pretty soon I'm gonna get 2 more and another box and same amp and make my neighbors call the police on me for loud music!!!

Sonic Electronics cant be beat!

Purchasing from SonicElectronix.com justifies the purchase no matter what! Even at the list price these are satisfying.

Subs

This is a great sub for the price. It hits the lows very well, the highs are alright but definitely one of the better subs I've heard. I love Kenwood they are very reliable. I highly recommend this sub.

They SUCK!

I have 2 of these subs. I have blew 2 already. I have them hooked up to a 1400 watt 2 channel Sony amp and they are getting only 220 watts rms. Pieces of junk.

Wow!

i just bought two of these and put them in ported box with matchin amp and once i turned them on i was so happy. these things slap so hard and clean. they dont get that low in a ported box, but still get low none the less. buy them if u want to have a loud clean system.

Kenwood KFC-W3012

The sub for the price is great can't beat it !!!!!! NO LIE I BROKE MY Back windshild 2 TIMESSS omgggg, so worth the money

Lasted only 1 year

I had this sub hooked up to 400 watt rms (1200w max) amp and it sounded amazing. its been a over a year now and couple days ago amp suddenly went to protect on low volume. At first my thoughts were on amp, but it works perfectly with a different sub. Upon test I found that this sub dropped to 0.7 ohm impedance. I don't know what caused this type of failure, but until it failed I enjoyed every minute of what this sub was producing. Sad though that it lived as long as the warranty.

4 12s great buy

This I would like to say is a very good sub i have 4 of them and to the guy who put 1800w kenwood that amp is 900rms that would be 450 to each sub if the amp is not turned right so ignore his comment and buy the great subs!

Best Speaker Ever

For those who haven't used this speaker before I can sum it up in one word "Wow" I installed it in my sons 58 vw so let me tell you this speaker rocks.

12" kenwood sub

This sub hits hard. And is better than the 3011 because it has a thicker coat so it doesn't crack.

Loud!

These subs are loud! My friend has 2 of these in a ported box hooked up to a kicker zx 400.1 amp. Thats only 200 rms a piece. They grab at my throat. I also owned the older versions of these and they were great. This is a really good price for the quality you get. If you dont wanna spend a lot and just want to be loud, get these. If you are a sound quality type of person, you may wanna look for boston, alpine, or JL.

very good beginners sub

i've had this sub for going on around 8 months now and i have been very happy with it. i'm running 1,000 watts to it thru a kenwood amp. this sub CAN NOT be beat for the price!! you can hear this pounding in my trunk from 30+ yards away. moneys tight right now but hoping to upgrade to some alpines in the future.

Really good

It was a really good sub. i only had about 100 watts running to it cause i had a small amp. but it still shook my 89 honda civic pretty good. It was in a sealed sub box that i made it sounded really good. i had no problems with it. i really want a second one.

Great Subwoofers

I have 2 of these running at 2 ohms on a Alpine MRP-M1000. So they are getting 1000 watts rms. They handle it like a champ. Really really really loud. Great budget subwoofer. Only thing that could make them better is if they were DVC instead of just SVC.

awsome subs

Good sub right out of the box. runnig 2 in a 3ft cube ported box on a jbl gto7001, a 2f db link cap, and 4g db link tru gauge. Haven't even broke em in and hits like no other. 152 db at the port and 132 at winshield of my blazer.

good product for the price

I had 2 of these hooked up to a kenwood Kac-9105d amp and they sounded pretty good for the price. Just make sure you break them in for about a month and they will sound great!

Great!

I own 2 12" KFC powered by a 2000.1 crunch amp. and these woofers pound in a custom ported box under the back seat of a Silverado I lifted 4".. I have to Dynamat everything.. I recommend these subs if ur looking for a good bang for your buck.. soon I am upgrading to Alpine TypeX but these subs held up everything i wished for at the time!

Kenwood KFC-W3012

Have it installed in my car and it is great. We had to get help with it but was not a big deal to do. would recommend. sounds great!

amazing

For a sub so cheap its pretty good. I'm only running about 250 RMS to each in and extended cab F150 and they shake the hell out off everything in my car. I would recommend

Amazing for the price

Before i got my new car i had two of these in a sealed enclosure hooked up to a kenwood 1800 watt amp... i first got them because they were cheap but i was soon surprised that they sounded better than my 2 ohm kenwood eXcelon... They hit hard and i mean hard... i cant wait until i upgrade the electrical system in new car so i can put these back in... And i abused them i ran them hard for hours at a time and they held up great!

BA Subs!!

These subs are F'ing hardcore. I have them running on a Nitro BMW-482 Amp and they hit extremely hard. I can hear the bass from one end of my property to the other side (5.5 acres btw) really well. If you get these subs you won't be disappointed. There cheap and the best for the price no doubt. Great for anyone who is starting to get into car audio.

Thumpers

I just installed these into my accord with a sealed box and an 1800 watt kenwood amp...these bump HARD. kenwood makes some of the best subs, and these subs are a perfect example of that. Very strong, and durable.

Good sub

The sound is fine, the only complaint I have is that the dust cover is pretty fragile. I dropped the screw driver on it from about 6 inches and it put a two inch long crack in it. It still sounds fine though. It looks really cool.

sub-woofers 12inch

the subs are some of the best speakers I have ever had, They hit harder then ones with twice the power. I would tell any one to buy them!!!!!!!!

Great Value & Performance

I blew my Alpine on my Kenwood amp...so I decided to try this product. I was not surprised. For the price and performance I have not had any problems. It works where the Alpine with the same ohms and watts did not. Im very, very pleased.

Going Strong

Bought this set up approx. 6 months ago; a set of Kenwood KFC-W3011subs,Sonic Sub Box 2SV12-GRAY, and a Kenwood KAC-7204 amp. Everything is still going strong. A good strong amp and subs for the price. The box is well built and sounds good.

Great value

Great sub for the price. Not the best sub out there but they are nice. they put out great sound and are durable. I have to in my explorer and you can hear them down the street and they sound great.

Amazing

I bought two of these and I'm using the Kenwood KAC-8104D 1000w mono amp, and wow, they rattle your teeth loose.

Great Subs

I have two of these hooked up to a kenwood amp running 900w RMS in my car. If you want decent base then you need only one of these. Two allows people to feel it outside the car. I built a ported box to close to manufacturers specs. I recomend a good ported ported box with these subs. I love these subs and they will probably out last my car. Can't wait to see the SPL numbers. These subs hit hard for the money. Not to mention they look awesome.

amazing and cheap

i have two of these in a bandpass box hooked up to 1800w amp. which is plenty for these two. they sound amazing. they hit harder then some of my friends $400 subs. great subs for the price

Decent for the price!

Heavy, Looks good, Sounds decent. I replaced 2 10" rockford R1S410s at 150 RMS a piece to two of these at 450 RMS a piece. Improvement over the 10s is marginal. Sounds good, takes some tweaking. But I can't help but feel like I could have gotten the same performance out of a comparably priced smaller sub.

great speaker

The sound is great, clear hard hitting bass, can't beat the price!

Very good for the price

I've owned a pair of these after a friend owned them for over a year, I hooked them up to a 1000 watt Sony amp and fried them in about 4 months though lol but while I had them, they sounded great :) buy them, they're great for the price

hold ALOT OF BASS

I have 2 of these hooked up in a old school grand marquis wit a 1800 watt kenwood kac-9104D amp with a ported box and they hit HARD. I have pushed these subs 2 d max an haven't had any trouble wit them at all they can hold a lot of bass, if u kno wat u r doing u wont have any trouble wit these at all, unless if u put dem in a sealed box den u would (I've blown 1 b4) an it even hit harder den i have expected. i would recommend anyone 2 buy this sub at this value u cant beat it.

these can take abuse

i would recommend this sub. these things hit pretty good for the price, blew them because i put waaaayyyy to much power to em, but they took the abuse like a champ for awhile

great prices

I ordered 2 KENWOOD KFC-W3012 these speakers rock i'm running a boss 3000 watt amp these speakers need power. Don't go any where else Sonic Electronix is the only place to go.

Clean bass, great price

Very nice bass, good build quality, and decent thump. Great sub woofer for an entry level sound system. Not for SPL but, nice all around bass. I like it but I will soon be upgrading to Kenwood Excelon 12" woofer. Best bang for your buck

kenwood kfc

i bought four of these with a boss 2000 watt class d mono and let me tell you, i put them in my accord and holy s*** they POUND! i would recommend this set up to anyone who wants a system that cracks windshields.... literally i'm on my second cracked windshield! no joke!

CAR RATTELER

HAD A PAIR IN A PORTED BOX WITH A BOSS 1200 WATT AMP DIABLO SERIES AND IT SHOOK EVERYTHING IN THE CAR HIGHLY RECOMENDED

wow

great sub got 2 of these in the back of my explorer and you can hear me from around the block

Great subwoofers.

These subs are great. i bought them off my friend for 50$ i have 2 in a non ported box and they still pound hard in the trunk of my accord. i have them hooked up to an 800 watt 2 channel sony amp and they're great.
btw the amp only puts out 200 watts rms to each and they still pound.
Great subs for the money. if i needed to i would get them again their a steal!

Budget Build

I own 2 of these, they are powered by a Hifonics BXi1606D. Each sub sees 2.25 cubes after displacement tuned to 36HZ, Subs are good if your on a budget. They pound at 60HZ, but anything below ~45HZ they are lacking. Subs are extremely stiff and are power Hungary. I can not emphasize enough on STIFF!
i was originally powering them off my ZX400.1 which is rated at 450wrms at 2ohms and it wasnt enough.
They now see 1100wrms from my BXi1606D which livened them up alot but the lows just arent there.

great value

this sub is such a good deal for under 50 bucks. It was 110 at B*** B**. I have it hooked up to a gravity 850 mono block amp... and even though it is a cheap amp this sub still sounds great and handles every bit of the power the gravity has to offer. getting ready to buy another. great product.

Great Buy

So all I can say is wow, these subs are amazing. But WOW.. WOW. First off, I got these subs cause they were real cheap and had a decent power rating, 400 RMS watts was what SonicElectronix had as the rated power. And for the price, that was insane. Can I say a deal? And its made by Kenwood so you know its gonna be made with quality and its gonna be reliable. I got a Sony XM-D9001GTR watt amp for 300 and put it in a dual ported box. I have an pioneer head unit. They Hit really hard and the cones make them look real classy. These are really loud and are very accurate. You cant get much of a better deal than these, whether you want accurate moderately loud bass or straight up loud bump to compete with your friends. You cant much beat the quality/response/accuracy/power rating/looks/ vs. the price on 2 12s. The trim is nice for if you wanna reverse the subs and maintain looks. and it looks insane reversed as well as regular. A pair of these babies will be sure to shake the car. Very happy with the subs.

Kenwood

Amazing subs i had two of these powered by a 1000w kenwood amp and there were times i got headaches from bassin for an hour or so. Great bang for your buck.

these subs slamm!!!

i replaced my blown pioneer premiere with a pair of these and i must say i love these subs!! The price is great and they can really knock. 5 stars any day!!

These rocks!

I had two of these on a 1200w MTX mono. 400RMS @4ohms, and these were bangin. I set off car alarms left and right. In a sealed enclosure at that. Do recommend. Highly.

I've owned a pair of CVR's and Kicker is a joke compared to these

Best Woofer ever Bought

This the least amount of money I've ever spent on a woofer.....6 months later I can say this the best woofer I've ever had.....hands down. And if I recal Sonic had it here fast too. Overall......all good.

SLAMS!

I love this sub. I've had this puppy in my car for a year now and it still blows my mind! With a custom built ported enclosure (by yours truly) and a smart tuner, this thing will move mirrors. People say it blows, but that's because when you first get it it takes about a week to break in, and people don't know how to PROPERLY break in a new sub. But definitely a great sub for price! Looking to add more power though, my amp is a little engine that could and it just doesn't have that UMPHH. Other than that, great choice!

Very Happy

I'm happy with the speakers...great speakers for the price. Would recommend them to anyone.
pro: price, good quality speakers.
con: none that i can think of yet.

happy with it

I have it in a van. 1000 watt amp and it sounds great great sound for the person who is on a budget.

You Cant Beat It

These subs are great for the money, I installed 2 of these in my 02 Altima with a 1100 watt Sony D Class amp running about 250 watts rms (each) in a sealed box and they THUMP HARD!!!! i have the amp set half way and they are crystal clear no distortion at all. I have the pioneer-pdvd3200bt with the 8 curve eq which makes it easy to tune your system.. GREAT PRODUCT!!!!!!!

Good Sub

good sub for the money. i have 2 with a 1000w kenwood amp, and have had no problems.

great product

These subs are great! My brother bought one at b*** b** for around $140 and you can get one here for $65! They can't be beat for their price either. I can't say anything bad about these subs.

Loud

These things are really sturdy and pretty loud.
They aren't the loudest things ever but they are much louder than most other twelves.

The newer versions have more wiring options since they have some with dual voice coils.

Good for the price!!!

I have had these subs for about a year now. and man do they pound..i have 2 of them but only running off of a kenwood kac-8104d which feeds them 500 rms(250 a piece) so i am under powering them but they still beat very hard. I'm waiting for a new line of subs from kenwood, but i am getting a hifonics 1610d amp to push these babies at 1100 rms. im gonna see what they can handle!!

system bangs

Pros: Lots of bass, good price
cons: nothing

I have 2 hooked up with a Kenwood amp. And these subs set off alarms. They have great sound quality for such a great price. You can't go wrong with them.

I would definitely recommend these to anyone.

nice

i just installed two 12s in my buddy's civic with a Kenwood 1800 watt mono block amp. they hit hard and i mean hard. even in a sealed. would recommend to any one. =) very happy the both of use

decent

its a good sub for the price, but it cant hit the lows very well due to the thin surround, great sub for high bass though

KFC-W3012

I put three of these in a Ford Ranger, sealed box and a Power Acoustik BAMF 2000/1 and these hit so nice in the truck. You cant see straight when you get in. These slam.

Slaps

this sub when paired with another hits hard, i have a convertible mustang GT and when the top drops you can still feel the bass. The only thing that i would advise is to have only 100watts max over the rms. thanks sonic electronix

Wonderful subs

I'm running 2 of these 12's (large sealed box) off of a hifonics brutis that is pushing 1000 watts rms to them @ 2 ohms. I'm also using a bass processor. They have been going strong for 6 months. I abuse them everyday all day. I believe these are some of the best subs you can get at this price range. Give them what they need as far as enclosure and power and they will impress you. I have installed car audio equipment for 3 years.

great subs

well i have 4 of these subs hooked up to 2 1800 kenwood monoblocks.....and these things have got me so many tickets its crazy, i would definitely recommend this sub to any one.

GREAT Subs for the price

I have two of these subs in a custom made box running off a Kenwood 1000w mono-D amp, and the bass is immense. When the car is sitting in the driveway, and the bass is pumping, everything in my kitchen shakes!

Pros: Good price (especially here), good wattage rating, and great bass

Cons: Lots of cone noise at high volume, also bottoms at high volumes and low bass frequencies.

I would definitely recommend this subwoofer to anybody just getting into car audio. Or anyone who wants a good system for a low price.

Pretty nice

I have two of these subwoofers in a ported box from b*** *** and a low amp and they hit pretty good i like them a lot. Just cant wait to get my 1800 watt kenwood amp hooked up to see what these things are really made of.

Alot of Bass

This bass is great. Hooked it up to a 400w dual amp and it blows people away. I have it in my 1989 ford ranger and it shakes the whole cab. One of the best subs for its price. Highly recommend to others!

Great Subwoofer!!

I just bought this subwoofer and it really impressed me... I hooked it up to 800 watts max pyramid amp which is way over rated amp but this subwoofer still produce nice, clean deep bass..
I am planning to upgrade my amp to kenwood KAC-7203 which will be perferct for my subs.... I highly recommend this subwoofer

the only thing that I didn't like about this is it's only a single voice coil which doesn't give me any wiring capabilities.... but no big deal, all you have to do is get the right amplifier for this..... other than that, this sub is awesome!!!!

An Excellent Subwoofer at an Even Better Price!!

I have this installed in the back of an 05' Toyota Corolla running at 400 watts RMS in the recommended sealed box enclosure and it is both incredibly LOUD and efficient, so much so that when I was setting the amplifier to operate it without clipping I had to plug my ears and I could even feel my nose hairs tingling from the vibrations!

This thing moves some serious air and looks great doing it with the pearl mica injection cone

I give it 5 Stars for both price and sound quality, you aren't going to get much better sound without getting a MUCH deeper wallet

Good beginner speaker

Great for a low-cost beginner system for sure can't beat em sound great hooked up to the right amo.

By Ryan on March 12, 2020 Verified purchase

Kenwoods

These subs hit hard in the right box. it's a good deal... so if your thinking of buying these? just buy them an quit wasting your time... when you could be bumping?

Awesome Subs for a perfect system

I have 2 of these paired with an SPL Gorilla 2200 watt 2 channel amp ported in my jeep. these subs hit hard! i have the loudest subs at my school and among my other audiophile friends. I would highly recommend these subs for any audio enthusiast. The bass is clean and extremely loud when i want it to be.

Kenwood Sub

This is an extremely good sub. The sound quality, especially on a middle bass setting on a stereo with a middle boost setting on the amp gives the sub a very smooth sound. Cranking this sub to the max is not a good idea because the sound becomes very distorted and gross, but that is to be expected from any sub. After owning this sub for 6 months, the sound quality is still as good as the first time I heard it.

Blown

I have had these subwoofers for a few months ago and about a month ago i noticed a rattling sound coming from one of the subs. i took it to my local audio store and it is blown. the voice coils overheat very easily and are not for long time playage. i would recommend a dual voice coil even if it costs more. you will get more play time from them

Great bass

great subs especially 4 da price! i got these 4 my 1991 thunder and it shakes my mirrors like a muthaF@$%A i recommend them i've been having them 4 about 4 months and i have had no problems at all.

Great for the price.

Great subs for the price. Got each of them on 300 watts rms in a 2.5 cubic ft. ported box. Hit pretty hard kinda hard to drive when its shaking your eyes lol. You can hear from about 2-3 blocks away if your outside your car.

GET THEM!!!!!

If your lookin for some knockers, this will do it, i got two of these powered by an 1800 watt kenwood amp....it makes my head rattle!! Forreal, GET THEM

Awesome Subs

These are awesome subs i just hooked up a pair of them with 900rms and they hit hard even with that much wattage they are very accurate and very loud for the price you can't beat them definitely my favorite subs i've ever owned

fairly good subs

when i bought these i was a little worried about how these subs would sound considering they were only $60... car audio has been a hobbie of mine for some time and have gone through sever pairs of speakers trying to find ones that sounded good and fit my needs i found most cheap speakers to be utter junk but i just installed two of these in a vehicular specific sealed box using the 1800 watt kenwood amp wired for a 2 ohm load they are getting about 450 rms which they are only rated at 400 but i have had no problems at all... i also found that the frequency rating is a bit off i found they were able to produce 30hz- roughly 400 hz with out distortion... i have the amps gains set and the bass boost off and the decks sub volume set to 0 and they still shake my entire car easily... the only flaw i have found is they are not able to keep up with super fast bass as in some techno songs but its a small flaw and most wouldn't notice... overall if you want to shake windows and set off car alarms these subs might not work for you but they sure add decent bass to your system for pretty cheap

cracked

ive had these subs for about 6 months and one of them has cracked. it still bumps but makes an aggravaiting noise. im pushing 2 of them on a 1000w amp and they can rattle my friends car when he is 3 cars in front of me..great for the price yet you get what you pay for.

Kenwood KFC-W3011

I bought this set of speakers for my husband for his birthday and he absolutely loved them! They have worked really well and we have not had any problems with them!

Great BANG for the buck!

i bought 4 of these subs from sonic electronix and their prices were unbelievable these subs pound hard enough to turn heads and they are hella clean sounding. dont expect to be in any competition with these beginer subs but you will be supprised. thety handle alot of rms power (400) . the thing that knda does suck is that its a svc not a dvc. bt for the price you realy cant complain. i was setting off alams with these in my durango. and two 1800W amps.

Great

Purchased these about a week ago and got them installed two days ago. have them in a ported box W36 x H14.5 x D16 with the port being 1.5 inches wide for each sub. Even though they arent broken in yet they are still sounding great. So far have outlasted my previous kenwoods (kfc-w3011) that blew after a day with my current amp. Overall these are great subs, can hit the low notes but has nice tight punchy bass even in a ported box.

wow

Wow. I have two of these in a 2.0 cubic foot box in the back of my 97 ranger and it slams. I never would have thought that these subs would sound so good for the price but boy was i wrong. I\'m about to order my third one and put into a custom box and get a bigger amp because now i only have an old phoenix gold amp my uncle found and its putting about 300 rms to each sub. I would highly recommend getting these subs to anyone, whether you have money or not this sub is a steal.
By the way, my friend has 2 kicker 15\" comps in a 5 cubic foot box powered by a kicked zx550 and these are louder and he paid over twice as much as i did.

Great Buy

Wow where to begin?

Value: they hit so hard. Big name, good looks, 400wrms rating, good sized magnet, great sound, what more could you want for your money.

Look/Design: Some what plain, but yet classy. No complaints.

Durability: Still breaking in, but soo far durability isn't an issue. Appears to be well made, expected from a big name company such as Kenwood.

Features: Single 4ohm works for me. Not sure what other features you're looking for.

Ease of Use: Comes with good instructions and every thing needed to get mounted.

Overall: Very satisfied. I'm running one of these hooked up to a Dual amp putting out 300rms in a Kia Sportage and it sounds great. Hits much harder and much louder than I expected. A friend of mine had dreams of putting 3 12's or 2 15's in his Cuttie, but after hearing how loud this sub was at only 75% of the rms rating, he plans on picking up just two of these and a nice amp.

Don't have any doubt when buying theses subs.

Does more with less! Truly a great, great buy

First some background info:

I purchased this subwoofer to replace a 12" Infinity Reference (300w RMS). The Infinity was powered by a 2-channel Pioneer amp, which was bridged to produce 380w RMS. The amp had the gain adjusted so it was never overpowering the sub; was right at its edge. The sub itself was mounted in a 1.2 (maybe 1.4; can't remember) cubic foot sealed box which I purchased off this website in 2004. That box was filled with about 1/2 lb of fiberfill.

That Infinity/Pioneer system was stolen just under two years ago.

This Kenwood has been placed into a 1 cubic foot sealed box (off this site), and stuffed with about 1.25lb's of fiberfill (effectively making it about a 1.2 box). The amp powering this sub is a Sony 2-channel bridged to produce 340w RMS (the sub is rated at 400w RMS). The sub is wired to the internal box connectors using 10-gauge wire, and the box to the amp also with 10-gauge wire.

Both systems were installed in the trunk of a 2-door compact car (Dodge Neon).

Now for the comparison:

Overall: 4 - I say 4 because I'm sure there's something out there that is better (there always is), so I can't say it's the "best." That said, overall I am VERY happy with it, for details listed below:

1) While this system is being powered by a basic Sony amp throwing out 340w RMS, the system is noticeably louder than my Infinity system. I was actually surprised at this; I wasn't expecting any difference, especially since it is mounted in a smaller box than the infinity was. That said, the Infinity seemed to be louder at the lower tones, but this could simply be due to the fact that the Kenwood is still new and breaking-in. Other than that, it definitely hits your chest harder than the Infinity. This is great seeing as how the box takes up less room in the trunk. So I'm getting more volume (clean volume at that), at a smaller footprint, and a smaller amp (can't really compare the amp though, since the Pioneer was tuned to ~300wrms). One thing to keep in mind, is that you're going to need to support this system with decent amp'd front speakers. My replacement amp for the door speakers only puts out 55wrms/channel. The previous amp (Elemental Designs) put out 85wrms/channel, and I can REALLY tell the difference (same speakers up front - Boston Acoustics). The bass currently is overpowering the mid/treble, so I'll need to beef up the power to the door speakers soon.

So going back to the subwoofer - For a 2-door compact, there is most definitely enough bass; I couldn't imagine needing any more; I don't even have the bass boost on the amp turned up; just have the head-unit set to "+3db Subwoofer" (it goes up to 10). Keep in mind that that's also in a small sealed box; step up the box size or go ported for even more sound.

2) Value - Seriously, what more can you ask for for under $50? Value is through the roof. $50 won't even get you a single set of speakers for your basic home boombox, and this is without a doubt of high quality. I paid $100 for my Infinity (on sale), and this by far, other than the real lows which I'm sure will get better as time goes on (or if I step up the box size), is far superior to the Infinity.

3) Look/Design: Gray sub in a gray box in a gray interior trunk. This sub isn't flashy; it's classy. Very refined and is more "grown up" than some of the other subs you see out there. It's something you'd expect to see in a BMW for the business man that likes to get his groove on every now and again, but doesn't make him look like a child either (if any of that makes sense).

4) Durability - I left that N/A; I can't speak accurately to this as I haven't owned it for over a year. If any product breaks within the first month, it is more of a defect and not a statement to the actual product (my opinion) - EDIT - ok, it's making me select an answer here - I am forced to say "5"

5) Features - This is a stupid item to ask for a subwoofer; how many features can it have (all relative I guess)? Anyway, it's a 5. It has nice connectors that are easy to hook up, a nice strong basket, and the trim piece that goes around the outside of the woofer is nice as well.

6) Ease of Use - Again, the speaker terminals make connecting the speaker a cinch. I was a bit concerned that the spring in the connectors wasn't biting down on the wire hard enough to keep it in place, but it seems like a non-issue thus far. Other than that, it's just a pretty straightforward procedure.

So in conclusion, if you're in the market for a well priced subwoofer, I would strongly recommend this product. I will also mention that I would not take it out of contention with products into the $100 range either; in this case, the price definitely does not speak to the quality. The quality is far, far higher than that of a $50 product. It is also available in both SVC and DVC to suite your needs.

THIS THING BANGS FOR THE PRICE

ONE OF MY FRIENDS GOT A PAIR OF THESE OFF OF SONIC ELECTRONIX. WE HOOKED THEM UP TO A 2400WATT AMP AND PUT THEM IN A SMALL SEALED BOX BOY DID THEY BANG. THEY HAVE REALLY GOOD SOUND QUALITY IF THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT. BUT WITHIN A SECOND OF TURING THEM UP HE MADE HIS REVIEW MIRROR DROP. I MEAN THEY SOUND GOOD AND RICH; YOU WON'T REGRET BUYING. ONE OF MY OTHER FRIENDS EVEN GOT A PAIR FROM SONIC AFTER SEEING WHAT THEY CAN DO. THEN HE HOOKED THEM UP TO A 2000 WATT AMP AND IT IS BANGING. I WOULD SAY THEY CAN HANDLE MORE THEN THEIR RMS.

great subs

i bought 2 of these and was only running 100 rms each in the trunk of my LeBaron convertible and they sounded great!
They were in a sealed box and the bottom of my trunk flexed alot and gave anybody a nice massage. My friends were very impressed!!!!!! They are very good for the price!
I paid 130 for the two so sonic has the best deal.
A lot cheaper than what i paid!!!

Hardest hitting subwoffer ever!!!!!!!!

When I first heard the sub I was very impressed with it. It is the hardest hitting sub i've ever heard. I recommend anyone to get it.

Kenwood sub

My friend Tyler purchased these subs about a year ago and they bump like crazy! He hooked them up to a Kenwood 1800 watt monoblock sub and they have so much power that they make his headlights flash. the sound quality is great. only thing that i dont like about them is that they seem to rattle after alot of use.

Great 1st Sub!

I did my research and got 2 of these. People hate on them, but they change their minds are they go for a ride. These hit clean and hard at the same time. I hit 139.1 in a sealed box at a sound comp. No Joke. I have it paired to a Kenwood 9103D at 2 ohms. Running 900W RMS.
I paid $300 for the amp at the time. You won't be disappointed if this is your first system or you're upgrading.

GOOD SUBZ

I HAVE 2 OF THESE SUBS IN A FORD EXPEDITION HOOKED UP TO A 1400 WATT AMP AND THEY PRODUCE DEEP BASS THAT MAKES THE MIRRORS SHAKE THEY SOUND GREAT.THEY HIT SO HARD THAT THE WIPER IN THE BACK CAME OFF.I COULD BE HEARD FROM LIKE 1 0R 2 BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY HOUSE.GREAT SUBZ GOOD JOB SONICELECTRONIX

Kenwood KFC-W3011

these things can take a beating and last, got a pair of these in a sealed box off my bro who has had them for 5 years now.. I got em hooked up to a Soundstream P1200 amp pushing 900 rms to the pair and they rattle the car.

Great sub

The price on the sub was wonderful. It has been delivering everything that you would expect from Kenwood - amazing bass!

amaazing

I have two of these in my f150 and the slam. I have them powered at about 300 rms. 6 months later and there good as new. about to ad a 3rd maybe a 4th. good buy for the price. cant be beat.

great buy

I had one of these subs before and it hit hard.

Very happy

6 months ago I purchased several items from Sonic including a KFC-W3012 Kenwood sub. I couldn't be happier with the system or the vendor. My only regret is that I didn't purchase two of them. In the future I would prefer to buy from Sonic whenever possible.

Good subwoofer

Connect the sub to an amp KAC-7204 and you have a good combination for a clear and relatively powerful!

great sub

i have one of these hooked up at only 200w rms and it still sounds great! adds great needed bass to all your songs and just fills that void. also gets pretty loud and has some nice excursion. has some trouble with the low notes due to higher freq response but still sounds great everywhere else. very nice subwoofer. i would recommend them to anyone.

great deal

just about 6 months ago i bought these subs and got a really good deal. at the time i didnt need them but i knew it was too good to pass so now i put them to use and they have been booming for about 4 months now :)

Good way to go

For the price you pay you can't beat it.

good subs for the price

I owned 2 of the previous model 12's and 2 of the 10's and they were a pretty decent buy. I was running about 300 watts to each of the 4 subs and they hit pretty well. They never set off any car alarms but 2 of each in a sealed box if you have the room is a good way to go for nice clear punchy bass.

wow

this is a great sub for the money. hits very hard to. i have one of these in a 2002 explorer hooked up to a 300 watt amp and it still hits really hard. my friend also has 2 of these subs hooked up to a 1000watt sony amp in a 2001 acura rl and you can hear these comin down the street and when your sittin in the car it just blows your mind

NASTINESS!!!

ive heard the older models the kfc-w011 hit and damn did they slam..yah they were in a suv so in a normal car it wont hit just as hard but still..def impressive for the money..i just ordered two 3012's for myself and set up the trunk...just waiting for that deeeep bass too get here...def recommend them tooo anyone and everyone..

joe b

i installed two of these in my friends jeep a few weeks ago. all i can say is holy sh*t. these things shake the whole suv.for the price there is only one thing to do. buy them. i am with my next paycheck

Great Product

Kenwood does it again, I purchased these to replace my boston G5s to get rid of a little weight in the trunk. Let me tell you my system sounds so much better with kenwoods, I have them running off a KAC-9104D. You cant go wrong with these subs when the SQ is so much better then the boston acoustic G5, you do the math.

Great subs for the money

I purchased 2 of these subs almost 2 years ago. I currently have them mounted in a sealed enclosure with around 1 cu. ft. per chamber and I am feeding them with an Alpine MRP- M500, wired to 2 ohms for 250 watts rms per sub. These subs slam hard, but due to the small enclosure size, they don't go very low. I am currently working on a ported enclosure for them. My only complaint is that the cone is far too stiff and brittle. I have cracked the cones multiple times, hence the reason I got a service plan, they give me new ones.

SWEET

MY BOY WANTED KENWOOD IN HIS CAR. SOUNDS GREAT, EVEN SHOCKS ME BUT WOOFER'S GREAT. NICE TAKING HIS CAR TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Good sub

I've had this 12" sub for the past six months and it has been great. It is really responsive and hits even lower than my two ten inch Kicker's that I used to have.

Hits hard

To start this is a pretty good sub and the price on this site is even better,
but if you are looking for a sound quality sub this not the sub for you.It hits hard and is relatively deep but is not clear if you were to spend a little more money I personally think you would be happier all around.Don't get me wrong if you just want some decent bass than this is a very good deal but if you want some real sound quality, remember that loud does not equal sound quality look at sensitivity,frequency response,and rms power, not peak power, and you should be happy with what you end up with.

Great Sub For The Price

I have one of these in a sealed box hooked up to a Kenwood amp and it hits hard. Right now i have it hooked up to my factory stereo in my 07 Dodge Magnum and I have the bass set on -9 and its still too much! I love Kenwood and I would recommend this sub to anyone.

Best Subs for price

You can not go wrong..just get the right amp and you will be golden..they BUMP inside and outside the car,and all things surrounding it haha...Blocks away I can be heard

bang for your buck

I got 2 of these hooked up to a Kenwood KAC-7204 2 channel amp and these subs hit hard!!! I actually didn't realize how much these hit until I heard them. Great buy for price and the quality is excellent! They look great too!!

Great for the price...

I own 3 of these speakers loaded in a sonic 3-12" box pushed by a Kenwood KAC-810D wired to 1ohm and I have literally broken the rear view mirror off of two different vehicles. These sub put out A LOT of bass at a high volume but at higher volume there is a significant amount of cone noise so it worked best for me pointed rearward in the trunk. The rated wattage is said to be 400w but is actually safe anywhere from 400-800w. Overall, a great speaker for the price.

Great Sound

i bought these a while back from sonic. These pound and sound great. make my car rattle. i have to dynamat or whatever the use to sound deadning stuff. but its a great buy. i would recommend to anyone

Very nice

I would recommend it, I bought two for my friend and he could only use one cuz that's all he had the boxes for, I heard him from Hal a block away, then he threw his jacket on it, thank goodness he had a second one...still pounded, I'm using it now and it's amazing sound quality

poorly made

I would not ever buy these again there a waste of money bought a set with a 1800 watt kenwood amp and after 30 days I had to have them replaced. the rubber surround keeps ripping. good speaker if you really dont want to bump

Kenwood KFC-W3012

Bought one of these, have it bridged at around 400 watts RMS @ 4 ohms. It sounds so sick. It hits hard, and it hits the notes very crisply with little to no distortion at higher volumes! Would recommend to anybody!!! I was very blown away at the quality of this sub!

BUY IT!

all i can say is that this subwoofer can pound, and for the price it is very much well worth it. i questioned it at first but when they were hooked up, it was like heaven for your ears, they have the perfect sound.

good buy

i bought the 2 sub amp combo i put them in the back of my 95 jeep cherokee and they hit hard and loud ive had buddys who spend way more on there subs then i did and theses sound much better, for a very good price theses r the way to go...i used the crap out of these subs commuting 4 hrs a day to and from work and they r durable to all music haven't had a single problem with them

nice for the price

I have one of this subwoofer's with a pioneer amplifier bridged to 360 rms in a ported box , on 2003 gmc yukon (factory stereo w/bose ) sounds really good , 2 or 3 BLOCKS away, nice and clear. I RECOMMEND THIS SUBWOOFER FOR ALL PEOPLE .

Good all around subs

Bought these to match with a Pyle 2K watt amp. They work well and have a good range for the price. No problems after 1+ years of use and still hitting hard.

decent subs!

i did tons of searching all over the internet n i came up with about 5-6 different pairs i could have gotten. all the other ones were less watts for more money

but dude, these subs BEAT! i can turn them up as loud as i want to and they never shut down. all you gotta have is the right sized wire/fuse. i highly recommend these subs. absolutely fabulous for the price.

Kenwood is awesome for the Price!!!!

THis sub is pretty damn good..I was pretty amazed because i thought that they would suck just because they were cheap and they are probably the best subs you can get on this website for the price. This can take a little punishment and i've been pushing mine at around 1,000 watts with an MTX amp and these things bump. It all depends on the set-up for the system like getting the right enclosure and all that stuff.

KFC-W3012

Great subs, I have a pair of them with the Kenwood KAC-7203 and they get busy. I've tried to match up everything Kenwood, they've cam a long way.

OK

my L5 12" hit way harder than 2 of these subs.they are a pretty good sounding sub but not a real hard hitting sub

OMG!

This is such an amazing sub, I have it hooked up to a 250w 2 channel amp and it STILL hits really hard. I can't believe the quality of these subs and I can't wait to get them hooked up to a proper amp.

kenwood 12

i had this sub and just one of these hooked to a good kenwood amp shook my whole car, made the mirror shake down to where i couldn't see out of it. great sub for your money. if you have like maybe a good 400 to 500 dollars go with some sledgehammers.

Great Sub

I have two of these subs hooked up to a monoblock kenwood amp. they each are pushing around 300 to 400 watts. they are in a 2000 ford explorer and they hit so hard i cant listen to them for more then an hour.

This is what you want

These sub hit hard and I recommend it to anyone.
You wont find a better deal. In fact the B*** *** has the same subs for $110. each. Do your homework and you'll find out this is it.
To make them sound better make sure you get the ported/vented box.
Sealed boxes are ok…

yea

i have 2 of these subs with an 1800 watt kenwood amp and i have one of the best systems in my area. im only 18 and obviously i know how to tune systems to sound good and obviously some people arent very smart. u cant just have one 1200 watt 400 rms sub. to an 1800 watt amp.

this subs are nice.

i have 2 12" of this boys they are decent. if you looking for something decent this is it. but im actually thinking of purchasing 2 more so i would have the sound i want on my truck. oh by the way it have a good kick.

Awesome sub for the price!

This sub is of superb quality for how cheap they are selling it. I own two of these, two Kicker Comps, and two MTX Thunder 5500 and this sub pounds! It is very loud and accurate.

These subs are definitely worth the investment if you are looking for something cheap. These have the quality of my MTX's for half the price! Definitely a MUST BUY!

danmmm

these speakers are so awesome the hit real hard u jus need a good amp i got 2 of these and a 4000 watt lazar amp hooked up its loud broke ma back windeow
