I have two of these in the back of my '85 crown vic with vented boxes rated at 44Hz. They are powered by a Pyle 1400watt amp running on two channels. I have had them both for about a year and they still sound great! I would say that they distort at high bass range but are great for 50 to 25 Hz. They shook off the rearview mirror, and are starting to loosen the dome light above the driver seat. All my neighbors hate me, and refer to me as a ghetto child, but that doesn't discourage me from listening to high quality music. They sound great with 4 kenwood KFC-6982IE 6-Inch x 9-Inch speakers and two Kenwood KFC-1661S 6.5-Inch speakers. Kenwood all the way! For the price, you cant do any better.

If you're the type of person that looks for quality over loudness then this is definately the best sub for you. Don't get me wrong it can pack a punch but what I like overall is the quality and durability of it. I've had it for quite a while now and haven't had any problems. i found it in the store as well for around $110 too. Great price, great sub. Buy it.

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.

Picked Two of these up, put em in sealed box with 2 farad cap and 1000watt amp in 08 civic coupe. These subs put out some serious bass easy install great clean sound. Highly recommend for anyone looking for subs that give the best bang for your buck.

I am not a professional installer or anything but these were very simple to install and they have good base to them. Currently I have a sony xm 2002gtr powering one of these subs and I have another one of these on the way. Right now, the one I have hooked up hits nicely. It has a pretty clean sound to it and I am very happy with this sub. I recommend for first time buyers and for people who know a little bit about this stuff. Easy to install, good clean base, and they are a great product for the price. I do not think there are very many deals out there like this one right now.
