Power Handling Note
Woofer: The cone is constructed of a stainless steel coated injection-molded polypropylene. The stainless steel coating adds to the polypropylene's strength and heat resistance characteristics resulting in reduced distortion and improved reliability.
Surround Material: The woofer utilizes a high excursion rubber surround for added durability and better bass performance.
Super Linear Spider: The woofer features a Super Linear Spider design. In this design, the Spider roll gradually becomes higher towards the center enabling this area to withstand more stress with less stretching. This design transfers up and down movement outward to reduce stretching the center area of the woofer. Because the spider's outward portion has more surface area to better dissipate stress from the center, this helps to reduce mechanical damage during increased excursion and enables the subwoofer to withstand more power.
Long Stroke Design: The pole piece has been extended to provide a more linear magnetic field for woofer operation. This lowers distortion and provides the woofer with better low frequency response.
Double Stacked Magnet: The stacked magnet assembly is used to create a powerful linear motor with increased excursion capability for superior bass output.
Spring Post Assembly: The woofer features a compression input terminal assembly that will accept up to 8-gauge speaker wire.
Decorative Ring: For an added decorative look the woofer comes supplied with a Plastic decorative ring that mounts over the flange of the woofer. When using the Plastic ring the woofer is first set into place and the ring is set on top the woofer, aligning all eight holes of the woofer with the ring. The supplied mounting screws are then secured into place. The decorative ring increases the mounting height of the woofer to 1.0625".
Reverse Mounting: The Kenwood woofer can be mounted in either direction. The mounting ring that is supplied with the woofer provides and easy and cosmetically finished look regardless of the mounting direction.
Sealed Box Volume: The sealed box sizes recommended by Kenwood range from 0.8 cu/ft to 1.75 cu/ft. Within this range, the ideal size recommended by Kenwood is 1.25 cu/ft.
Vented Box Volume: The vented box sizes recommended by Kenwood range from 1.0 cu/ft to 2.0 cu/ft. Within this range, the ideal size recommended by Kenwood is 1.5 cu/ft. One 3" diameter x 7" long port should be used with a 1.5 cu/ft enclosure.
Power Handling: Kenwood has established "Rated", "Maximum" and "Peak" input power ratings for this woofer. The "Rated" input power spec is equivalent to the RMS Power Handling, the "Maximum" input power rating is a continuous power handling specification, and the "Peak" input power rating is equal to the "Peak Power Handling". The power ratings are as follows:
- "Rated" input power: 400 watts
- "Maximum" continuous input power: 800 watts
- "Peak" input power: 1,200 watts
