Great for a 10″ class sub
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.
Update (9/5/2010): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

These subs pound!
I love’em! These subs deliver really deep, crisp sounding bass…I only have one and my rearview and sideview mirrors look like someone is shaking them with a jackhammer with vol turned to 18. I ranked them a 4 because no one will hear you beating down the block…but then again its not the early 90’s anymore

A great sub if you listen to rock, jazz, folk, or classical
I was looking for a sub to replace my 10 "JL Audio that eventually fell apart. The JL sub was wonderful, and I recommend it very much, but I did not spend so much money. I checked the reviews of the Kenwood - the very positive were, so I chose it. I am very satisfied and would consider getting a different next time. I was looking for a sub that I would have good sound quality over the entire audio spectrum, and not only that heavy boom, some people like that. This subgroup has the very good. I would say if you just sub in search of a good quality, sound, and you hear everything, hop hop, you can not go wrong with this. rock, folk, country, jazz, classical … all sound great with this subgroup. But remember that a good quality sub amp is important!
