This 12" Road series subwoofer from Kenwood is not going to win any SPL competitions however i dont believe it was intended to. This is a great subwoofer for someone looking for a name brand product that will certainly out perform as well or better then the "cheap brand" subwoofers and even some of the more expensive brands out there. I worked at an independent high end car audio shop for over 12 years installing mostly Rockford, Alpine,JBL audio and Mcintosh products. I also use to compete in SPL competitions with my CRX and 4- Rockford 18" subs amd 2 Rockford bd.1000 amps so ive went the expensive route in my past. As im older now and have a new SUV with a quite impressive factory Infinity sound system "with a powerful factory 8" sub" and a nice touch screen i was just looking to add a bit a bit more bass. I found these on Bestbuy.com on sale for $35 and decided 2 12" subs for $70 is worth the chance. I bought a dual 12" slotted ported box on Amazon and an Infinity k600 class-d mono block amplifier and wow was i impressed what this little amplifier and these $35 each sub's can do. Im use to everything needing to be big and expensive to get this type of performance out of. It just shows with the correct install, the right amp for the RMS power rating of these subs and you wont be disappointed. I no they are back up to $60 which is still a good deal, but if you can wait im sure they will drop to $35 yet again. I meant to order a spare pair when they were at $35 a week or so ago but forgot. I will not miss the deal when it happens again. If they last a year "or even less" with how much i hammer on them its still worth it. I bought them in Sept i believe and they are still performing just as well as day one. And i did not slowly let them "break in" like you always should. I installed everything and went max volume for atleast an hour or so on a drive immediately after everything was installed and tuned.

Love these subs, I put them in an Audi A4 in a ported Kicker box with a 750RMS Kicker amp. They hit so hard you can feel the pressure in your chest. GREAT DEAL!!!!!

Not bad for the price! I bought only one just to see how it sounds and to tell you the truth, I’m pretty amazed. If you are looking for a little something and not anything radical, then this is a good sub to use.

They hit hard but they don’t last very long I only had mine for a few months and I can already smell the voice coil. I bought two of these and paired it with a 400w amp so it wasn’t overpowered or anything. It’s really disappointing because I really like the Kenwood brand.

This is the best single vouce coul sub iv ever bought. For such a cheap price. Un fact its one of the best single voice coils period. I have had subs for 22yrs im 39. Iv had it all. U bought these because i just wanted a little bass. I wasnt trying to enter a competition ir anything, kids eide in my vehicle. But man when i turned the power up on these thing only 250rms a piece. They slammed. They was twice as louas i exspected. Super clean sound. They hit the mid and high bass notes the best. For the price and the low amount of power they need to really beat . Most people i let hear it laugh and say its by far the loudest thing they ever heard. These are everyday people not bass heads. Well worth the money and quality seems good 8v been listening to it 2 months before this review . Iv had zero issues and have listened to it preety loud for hour at a time all the time.
