    Bang for the buck

    Very pleased. As described by other reviews, not enough base to rattle the mirrors and windows but, just the right amount of base to give your music a strong, smooth, quality sound that most speakers mounted in the door just can't provide. I replaced 4 factory 6 X 8's in the doors of my son's Toyota Tacoma with Kicker Coax models and that made a nice improvement but, still lacked any deep, strong base. The Kenwood compact sub was the smallest of all the under seat subs and one of the best priced I could find. Alpine makes a compact sub but, it's nearly twice the price. So, I decided to give the Kenwood a shot and thought that if it doesn't give us enough punch, I could purchase a second one for just about the same price as 1 Alpine compact sub. The wired remote works well. It's nice to have it in easy reach to make a little adjustment to the crossover point or gain control. As a rule, you get it set to a point that your happy with and leave it there. I found a YouTube video that showed a guy that rigged up 2 subs that he could control through 1 remote control. My son is happy with the sound. He says the system finally has a full sound. Good bang for the buck as long as you keep your expectations in check and remember how much you spent for it. Very pleased with it.

  • Most critical review

    Great idea

    I've been installing car stereo for over 20 years and I must say I was excited by the claim of the Kenwood KSC-SW11. Installation was easy but when I turned it on with anticipation of the great sound that was advertised, well it never showed. I even moved it from behind the rear seat to under the seat and I could get better sound from high end 6X9's. I'm realistic and only wanted to add richness to the sound. Lesson learned. The look, size, and install are great or only one star.

  • Decent Sub Woofer (at full volume)

    Decent sub woofer but no ground-pounder. It is always hard to review something like this because so many things can affect the results you get. How's your radio... where did you mount the Sub... how did you mount it... what is YOUR idea of good base and what is the quality of the music you are playing? For me, I replaced the stock Bose system in a C4 Corvette convertible with a JVC KW-HDR81BT head unit pushing 12" oval kicker speakers. Now, for small cars like mine, there is not a ton of room in the speaker cubbyholes for the sound to resonate (especially for the low tones) so I wanted to add a little more support for the low end without overdoing it and thought this would fit the bill. Now before I bought this Sub I wanted to make sure that my radio was capable of pumping out decent base so I borrowed my 400 Watt home entertainment system Sub Woofer and piped the JVC’s SUB signal through it. Lets say that the neighbors were NOT as happy with the results as I was in confirming that my radio had more than enough guts while I listened to "Long Cool Women in a Black Dress" whose base-thumps bulged my garage windows. So... I went ahead and purchased this unit knowing that my radio or the way I had configured it would not be a weak point. The results of my install for this Sub? Well... long story short, this unit does add more depth to the base end but I honestly expected just a bit more. When I say "a bit more", I mean that I wish I could overdrive the base just a little with this unit cranked to max volume and be forced to back off a little to get a comfortable sound level. As it is, I have to leave it pretty much at full volume to have it perform at an acceptable level. As a long time electronics engineer and troubleshooter I hate the idea of running any electrical device at near 100% for reasons of device longevity. Now, remember that I had already tested my radio and cables so I ( and my neighbors) knew what my radio is capable of so the "limiting" factor is this Sub Woofer and not my setup. I was able to improve things a bit by moving the Sub from the rear of the cargo bay to behind the drivers seat but I still need to drive this Sub pretty hard. The nice thing about having a separate Sub Woofer is that you can adjust the mid and treble tones so they can stand on their own without trying to give some of their space to the low tones. That’s a big plus. All that said, This Sub Woofer DOES to an acceptable job and I am not all that dissatisfied it's just the -near 100% volume thing- that concerns me a bit.

  • Kickin' to the tunes

    This was the perfect addition to my car stereo, and the one thing that was lacking. I have a 65 Mustang Fastback, and needed to find a way to put in a sub-woofer and amp w/o taking up valuable trunk space, and this was it. It fit nicely in between the rear taillight and the wheel well. The sound is really good, and I can make the rear view mirror shake to the music. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to add some good bass and doesn't have the room for a big box and amp.

  • Compact subwoofer

    Installed this particular subwoofer for the first time last week. Easy installation and can appreciate the slimline design and solid enclosure. Sound quality is good (keep your expectations in check here) Weight is moderate for the size. Looks great and nice add on to any kenwood system. The lighted remote is kinda a love-hate thing. It is corded (phone cord), and our installs we normally set it and forget it. If this sub is tied into your stereo RCA’s (sub out) then you have full function regardless. If you use the supplied high output wiring that Is supplied with the sub, then you will need the remote to adjust settings. Good value for the money, and would purchase again. Great for sound enhancement, not for trying to vibrate your license plate off your trunk.

  • Perfect for the Yacht

    We have a pretty large cabin below deck on our 44' sailboat. This fills the entertainment needs beautiful as we watch movies and party it up a bit. It's smaller size makes mounting it under the Nav station a breeze, and out of the way. So far no problems with it affecting the compass or autopilot.

  • Easy Install. Good quality

    This sub looks and works well. I am still trying to dial in the sound. I have it in a VW rabbit pickup. The struggle is getting the bass correct using the hpf and lpf controls built into my deck. I may consider a second amp for the front and rear speakers. The sub is a good unit. I am just struggling with getting it right for my taste.

  • Finally small bass

    I put this in my econoline and boy what a difference. I am used to big 3,000 to 5,000 watt bass rigs. There is no heavy boom, but bass is now present where there was none before. Due to the size it has a much higher resonance. Easy to install, nice remote.

  • Just enough.

    If you are looking for ground pounding, window rattling, tick off the neighbors, let them hear you 1/4 mile away on the freeway thump, don't look here. BUT, if you are looking for just enough bass to fill out the sound in your car system, this one is for you! It fit VERRY WELL under the passenger seat of my WRX base. Was a breeze to install (so say the guys at the Riverside CA. Shop that installed it for me), doesn't need an amp kit and has a very nice wired remote for adjustment........ then you are looking at the right powered sub. Priced is reasonable, won't break the bank like others. I have this working with a stock head unit that is amped and a component set front speakers, a set of full range rear speakers from a famous French mfg. probably one of the few people running around with CRANKED jazz. Very happy with this addition to my system.

  • Good for the money

    This is a nice speaker for what I was looking for. It doesn't hit extra hard or rattle my car apart, but it adds the depth that was missing from my music. It is very small and fits right under my passenger seat. There is no separate amp to hook up so install was fast. I would recommend this speaker to anyone who wants their music to sound great, and doesn't want to annoy the neighbors.
