I installed the Kenwood Road Series 12” subwoofer in my truck and have been really impressed with the value and clarity it delivers. The bass is clean and tight, not muddy, and it hits hard enough to feel without overpowering the rest of the system. For everyday driving and a mix of hip-hop, rock, and country, it performs consistently well.
What stands out most is how much sound quality you get for the price. It responds well at low volumes and still holds together when you turn it up. Installation was straightforward, and it pairs nicely with a modest amp.
If you’re looking for a solid, budget-friendly 12” subwoofer that delivers clear, punchy bass without distortion, this Kenwood is an excellent choice—especially for a truck setup.

I recently added the Kenwood KFC-W120SVC to my car audio setup, and I'm thoroughly impressed with the results. Despite its compact size, this subwoofer packs a serious punch, delivering deep and resonant bass that transforms my driving playlist.
Installation was a breeze, and the sleek design seamlessly integrates into my car's interior. The Kenwood KFC-W120SVC exceeded my expectations, providing a rich and immersive bass experience that enhances the overall audio quality. Its compact size doesn't compromise on power, making it an excellent addition for anyone looking to boost their car audio without sacrificing space. I highly recommend the Kenwood KFC-W120SVC for those seeking a small yet mighty upgrade to their in-car sound system.

I am actually surprised that these subs hit as good as they do. I've gotten multiple comments about how hard they hit for being 60$ a piece. Right now I have them in a Skar Audio Ported box and they rattle my car. I also have them hooked up to a 2000 watt mono block Kenwood amp, each sub is wired to it's own channel. I've tried to wire them in parallel and they don't sound as good.

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.

Solid budget option, but wait for a sale.

These seem to be a solid choice for a budget system. I'm just sort of getting back into car audio after years of not having a system, and wanted something cheap to test out a box while I shop out better subs. I caught these on a Black Friday sale online for $30 each. I bought two and put them in a box I built that's about 3 cubic feet, give or take. Overall I'm impressed. I've got them wired for 2 ohms and being driven by a 500w JL Audio amp that pairs well since these are 250w RMS at 4 ohms.
It won't flex the windshield or anything crazy, but for what they are they actually sound pretty good. I definitely wouldn't pay regular retail price for them though, there are better options if you're willing to spend $140 each, like Audiopipe, Skar, SoundQubed, etc., but on sale for $30-40, these are hard to beat I think.

Let me just say that if you are just starting out, or just wanted to fill out your stock system and not go too crazy, these are a goof bet. I threw them in a cheap sealed box I bought some years and man was i surprised how good this sub sound. After the break in period was over and i started to give it even more bas it handled it well. I was pushing it with a 400 watt amp. Like i said nothing too crazy but it is good if you we a bass head as a kid and now that youhave a family and are older you just want to be able to hear and feel something every now and then.

this sub has Grate volume with an 80hz low pass, but not for too much higher - I ended up keeping my 10ich Crockford Puch slim for a low-mid bass (80hz to 120hz)
its sound quality is quite excellent for its lower price, even at high volume, my 1000 wat amp has not blown it yet -
if you pair this VS Infinity Kapa, this will not give you what you're looking for..
I recommend this for a girl, or your 1st subwoofer due to its power handling is forgiving that it does not blow easily
i will note that it sounds better in a sealed box vs the ported (made both to manufacture directions for box size air volume that is listed on box/instructions)
if I could re-do this buy I would go for the dual voice coil (2ohm x2) to fit my system better (I bought this as a temp replacement) that ended up as the main subwoofer in a truck system that runs 3 amplifiers (2 4ch's + 1- 2ch sub-amp) and it keeps up with volume matching

For the money, this is a solid speaker. Currently in a 1.5 cu/ft ported box (bought for $50) and you have a ~$100 setup that you can't beat! Running 200W RMS and the bass is deep and solid. Considering buying another for my other car to add some depth.
