KFC-W3012 Features

Polypropylene Cone with Diamond Array Pattern
Etched diamond shapes all the way to the speaker edge help to reduce surface waves on the diaphragm, decrease sectional vibration, and suppress distorted sound. This diamond array pattern also increases rigidity and improves voice coil motion response for dynamic and clear sound reproduction.

Urethane Surround
Urethane is a surround material with very high internal loss, which means bigger bass with less speaker cone distortion.

Image Enhancer IV
The Performance Series speakers are equipped with the Image Enhancer IV, which helps to prevent reflected interference for smoother vocals while reducing distortion and providing an even wider dispersion pattern.

8AWG Wire Capable Push Terminals
The KFC-W3012 offers silver 8-gauge push-type input terminals, ideal for quick system hookup even with the use of a wider gauge speaker cable.

Dual Magnet Drive
This increases the cone excursion, for further low-end.

Dragon Spider Design
Kenwood's Dragon spider design helps improve the speaker's mechanical stability, for better power handling with less wear and tear.

4.0 out of 5 stars Deep bass, July 29, 2009

By	M. Ward (oklahoma) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Kenwood KFC-W3012 12" Performance Series Subwoofer (Electronics)

I have this nice sub bridged to a pioneer 760 watt amp at 380 rms in a .75 cubic foot sealed box. this sub is nice sounding and hits the lows very nicely...however u want to rattle your car apart this sub wont do that...but it will rattle it...alot. I really think this sub should be in a ported box about 1.75 cubic feet, im gonna try that next...i have a 2000 honda accord with this sub, 2 pioneer 6x9 speakers, and 2 pioneer 6 1/2 speakers...system sounds very nice, the sub is wonderful and is totally worth buying...it has very good design from the voice coil to the double stacked magnets, very durable and totally worth buying!

4.0 out of 5 stars Kenwood 3012 | Price is right and sounds decent!, November 4, 2009

By	Craig Kalinowski "Korean Menace" (MI, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Kenwood KFC-W3012 12" Performance Series Subwoofer (Electronics)

These subs can safely handle about 400watts RMS each, and I am running them at a mere 500watts total. They hit hard and sound great as long as you tune the amp correctly (STOP USING BASS BOOSTERS! IT KILLS SOUND QUALITY AND CREATES DISTORTION AT LOW VOLUME LEVELS!) Anyway, they add enough thump for the average person. You may want to find an amplifier with more power if you like it really loud or simply find some subs that can handle more power (in the 500-750watts rms range) and pair them with a more powerful amp as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Sound Quality, June 7, 2010

By	A. Klitzing - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Kenwood KFC-W3012 12" Performance Series Subwoofer (Electronics)

I have two of these running on a Kicker ZX750.1 amp in a Atrend E12DSV enclosure and the sound quality is just amazing. They are capable of hitting some fairly low notes and they have really long excursion. You probably won't be winning any competitions with these subs, but, as I said before the sound quality is where these things shine. Rap, Country, Metal, Rock and just about any other kind of music sound great with these. If you're on a budget these are well worth your $$.
