Loud Bass with a Low Price

If you are looking for the most bang for your buck, the Kenwood KFC-W3012 has got you covered. This 12” round subwoofer delivers 400 watts of RMS power and a max rating of 1200 watts. The polypropylene cone woofer ensures tight bass, while the urethane foam surround facilitates peak excursion and provides added durability for better bass performance. The double-stacked magnet is used to create a linear motor with enhanced peak excursion for optimum bass output. The dragon spider design enables the center of the subwoofer to withstand more stress when being played. These subs will produce a deep bass sound and the extended excursion will allow the subwoofer to handle low frequencies without ruining the cone.

This particular subwoofer has spring post terminal assembly that will accept up to 8 Gauge wire, making it easy to connect to an amplifier. Be sure to find an amplifier that can provide enough power to the sub because it is a single voice coil sub that will run at a 4 ohm load. The sound clarity is amazing and since Kenwood doesn’t skimp on looks or quality, you know you will be getting a valuable product.

In order to get the most out of your new subwoofer, we recommended getting a sealed or ported box. For sealed box, you will want to stay in the range of .75 – 1.75 cubic feet to get the most out of your sub. For a ported box, stay in the range of 1.0 – 2.0 cubic feet. A box is necessary if you want your subwoofer to last and perform at its peak ability. Don’t worry if there isn’t enough space in your vehicle! The KFC-W3012 was designed with a shallow mounting depth for easy installation.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!
