Blown Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.I paired this with the KAC511 in parallel at 2ohms stable. The sub blew and smelled like it burned up. Super disappointed and will see about the manufacturer warranty. I was hoping to save space with a single DVC sub but if I had the space I wouldve kept my 2 SVC Kenwoods because they sounded great. I would say I played the sub at high volume for less than 12 hours total since I purchased leading up to it smelling like it burned up in my truck cab.

Great subs especially for the price
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.I have bought a total of 8 of these subwoofers from Best Buy. I have read some of these reviews saying they aint worth it. Im unsure if the people leaving bad reviews have ever installed their own car audio but i have literally beat these thing past extinction and they are still going strong. I have 6 of them hooked up to a 10,000 watt amp in my hummer and its hitting 149 db on a meter. Then i have two in my matrix on a 1000 watt kenwood amp and its metering just over 140. These are great subs for the price. If anybody says any different they just need to have their system installed by someone who knows what they are doing.

Great Bass
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This subwoofer was a great addition to the weak bass in my 2010 Jetta. I got it as part of a kit from Best Buy and it was definitely worth it!

Received different sereis sub from what was ordere
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.Just relized i orderd the kenwood "road series" and received the "concert" series. Not sire if there is much difference or not. Kind of shady when you receive something different from what you ordered.

Super value DVC sub for more amp power per coil
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.The sound quality of these thus far sounds fairly equivalent to the SVC versions. The main caveat so far is being able to get more power out of amps using a single or pair of these. They are still in the break-in and testing phase yet but the results thus far are promising. Wait for a sale, got these for $42 each!

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionIf I run two of these subwoofers what size amp should I pair them with?
Asked by Cam.
- A:Answer I'm 46 I've been doing this since I was 14 years old I would get an amp that runs steady at one ohm 750 w RMS you're going to want a little bit of Headroom above that 500 w for box rise. what that means is once the speakers are inside a box they'll never see 500 watts from a 500 watt amp so you want to go a little bit higher than that so you can actually give them close to rated power. You won't need anything bigger than four gauge wire you want to do 4 gauge power you want to do 4 gauge ground and look into what the big three is on YouTube that'll help keeping your lights from dimming. At the amps ready to do one ohm you can bet you can go ahead and run it at one ohm. Remember when buying an amp don't look at Max wattage look at RMS that's what the amp will put out consistently.. Steve stevo on FB. just so you know I'm getting ready to strap two 1500 watt amps together to run 3K to one sundown Audio zv5. Pretty sure I got this.

Q: QuestionWhat size amp should I purchase for this sub?
Asked by Waynerd1987.
- A:Answer I use "Kenwood - Class D Digital Mono Amplifier with Variable Low-Pass Crossover - Black" and it seems to work a little to well, and it works for me I think the size of your car can have some play into how you want to set it up. Best recommendation do some research on youtube then take consideration of what fits your budget and your car or truck.
