I drive a '98 Mitsu Eclipse GST and am running a Pioneer Premier head unit for the smaller speakers and a Pioneer GM-D8400M mono amp (300W RMS, peak 1200W) pushing this subwoofer. This Kenwood sub went in a custom made rectangular MDF box (1.12 cu. ft. volume) and it sounds absolutely awesome. Very clean, good and thumping bass that is really felt throughout the car and even a bit just outside it. I got this to replace my old 8" Pioneer bandpass sub which after 10 years finally died. This Kenwood is easily better than the old sub.

I'm 44 but am an audiophile and like loud music of all types with good, solid bass. I don't want however to have a "bass machine" intended to make other cars 100+ feet away feel MY bass - hear it a bit maybe but not feel it themselves. I bought this based on the excellent specs and positive reviews at this and other sites and also to preserve some trunk space staying in the 10" class vs 12". I am not at all disappointed and would buy this sub again.

Its a little surprising though that as of the time of this writing the 12" sub is actually about $10 less here at Amazon than the 10"... go figure.

I was looking for a sub to replace my 10" JL Audio which finally fell apart. The JL sub was wonderful, and I recommend them highly, but I didn't want to spend that much money. I checked out the reviews of the Kenwood, which were very positive, so I chose it. I am very satisfied, and would strongly consider getting another one the next time around. I was looking for a sub that would give me good quality sound across the audio spectrum, rather than just the heavy boom that some people like. This sub does that very well. I would say that if you are just looking for a good quality, solid sub, and listen to everything but hop hop, you can't go wrong with this one. Rock, folk, country, jazz, classical...all sound great with this sub. But remember that a good quality sub amp is important, too!

Pretty good little Sub with lots of kick for the size. I own an 08' VW GTI hatchback. I put it in the back with an unported box and it still gives it the kick it needs. If i was ballin outta control i would have gotten a ported box but hey... baby steps right. Its balanced and with the right amp (kenwood 1000) you can get some good sound out of this sucker.

I drive a Mustang and this sub is more than enough! This is a great deal!

These subs are worth the ~$30 I spent for each one, but I would not recommend them if you want to be heard. They do not get loud at all, and I burned up the voice coils within a week trying to get them loud...Decent sound quality, no loudness
