Product Description
Each roll on a typical subwoofer spider has a uniform height but because the center area is subject to increased stress when for example, a subwoofer's excursion is especially large - this area can become stretched out, leading to breakage in the spider and limiting higher power handling. However, Kenwood's new spider roll gradually becomes higher towards the center, enabling this area to withstand more stress with less stretching. The design goal was to gradually transfer up-down movement outward to reduce stretching in the center area. As the spider's outward portion has more surface area to better dissipate stress from the center, this helps to reduce mechanical damage during increased excursion and enables the subwoofer to withstand more power.

 Even "awesomer" than Kenwood's 10" sub December 5, 2008

See my recent review of the similar Kenwood KFC-W2511 10" subwoofer which was quite favorable too.
I just upgraded to the 12" sub and put it in the same 1.12 cu. ft. 3/4" MDF sealed box that I previosly had the 10" sub in (put the old one in wifey's car). I found the 10" sub when at the highest levels of my amp's 300W RMS power were close to the very limits of the smaller sub's power rating and wanted to have a little extra room so I upgraded to this 12".
While I don't often crank it so loud, at times I do (tailgating at football games with the hatch open for example) and this is where the difference over the 10" model is really noticeable.
The 12" version of this sub is an absolute BEAST for a single 12" sub. Driven with a strong amp from a high voltage RCA signal from a quality head unit this thing is incredibly loud and clear and probably can pulverize any kidney stones you might be carrying.
I had previously also used Pioneer's Champion series' 12" sub in this very same 1.12 cu. ft. sealed box and the 12" Kenwood, I guess due to its higher 90db efficiency rating (vs 87 on the Pioneer) is clearly louder at the same volume levels.
Sound quality is excellent at all volume levels and even at absolute max volume with the bass totally boosted on my amp's + 12db knob there is no clipping or distorting whatsoever and the thing totally thumps every seat in my Mitsu.
The system in my '98 Mitsu Eclipse GST is:
Pioneer Premier head unit driving the smaller speakers and a Pioneer GM-D8400M mono amp (300W RMS, peak 1200W) pushing this subwoofer.
DONT PAY $200+ when you can a better one right here!!!! March 12, 2009

The only thing I can say without swearing is this thing REALLY pounds. How can so much sound come from one twelve inch sub? I have NO IDEA. This thing sound great with the paired sealed box they have listed on this site. MAKE SURE you get an amp that puts out at least 400 watts RMS 4 ohms to really hear what kind of sound this thing makes. Let me tell you, if you get two of these, your windows might break. I can see mine vibrate and when I push it, this thing can make my head hurt. THIS SUB IS NUTS and at such a steal!!!! GET ONE NOW. You won't be disappointed at the CLEAN and POWERFUL sound this thing makes.
well spent January 18, 2008

they pack a punch, and a great one for the price, they knocked the rear view mirror off the windshield of a nissan sentra! GREAT BUY
Better for rap and techno, 10's are better for rock and country, thus why i am trading it... still a great item

For the price these subs are a great bargain. The RMS on these are 400 watts and I am only using 280 to push them, so I wonder how it would sound if I got a stronger amp that had a 400 RMS watt rating? Great find though, cant beat it.
Amazing! June 20, 2009

This is one of the best subwoofers I have ever heard! Of course it needs appropriate power to sound right but if it is powered well enough you wont ever want to turn it down. I have one in my car with another older 12 inch kenwood subwoofer which I am replacing with another one of these and I can clearly tell the difference between them. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone that wants quality AND something that pounds.
