Kenwood

Our take on the Kenwood KFC-W2513PS

Kenwood puts decades of experience into building their Performance Series subs, so you can have powerful, reliable bass in your vehicle. Check out the KFC-W2513PS 10" sub — you get a heavy-duty polypropylene cone reinforced by a tough rubber surround that accommodates the extra-long cone excursion. And this sub handles up to 300 watts RMS, so you can rock out out with plenty of thunder.

The Diamond Array Pattern reinforces the cone so that it won't warp during heavy bass production. A dual ventilation system pulls heated air out of the motor structure through the back and the sides of the sub, so the inner works stay cooler during those long, loud jams. Put this Kenwood in a suitable enclosure, power it with a nice amp, and get ready to party.

Highlights:

  • 10" 4-ohm subwoofer
  • textured polypropylene cone with rubber surround
  • power range: 50-300 watts RMS

  • sealed box volume: 0.4-1.0 cubic feet
  • ported box volume: 0.75-1.5 cubic feet

Enclosure Compatibility

Features

Cone: The KFC-W2513PS uses a polypropylene cone and rubber surround for added durability.

Heat Transfer System: A dual ventilation system designed helps keep the motor structure cool, improving power handling and longevity.

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 Terminals: The spring post terminals on one side of the woofer connect to your amplifier's wiring. The posts will accept pin connectors, single banana plugs, or bare wire up to 10 gauge.

Enclosure Compatibility

Sealed Box: Kenwood recommends a sealed enclosure with an optimum internal volume of 0.65 cubic feet (from 0.4 to 1.0 cubic feet is acceptable). Sealed enclosures provide the most control over a woofer, will handle a lot of power, and provide accurate sonic reproduction, making them suitable to all types of music.

Ported Box: Kenwood recommends a ported enclosure with an internal volume of 1.0 cubic foot  (from 0.75 to 1.5 cubic feet is acceptable) using an 11" x 1-1/4" x 20" slot port. Ported (or vented) enclosures typically provide better overall efficiency than sealed so they are suitable for use with smaller amplifiers, giving you more bass output from less power. However, this efficiency comes at the expense of very low frequency output.

Wow

Written By Paul, Chicago on Sunday, July 03, 2011
 
All I have to say is wow. I have 2 of these in a vented box powered by a Polk PA- 880 amp. They hit hard. I have had Rockford, Kicker, Pioneer...you name it. The rumble from this sub is crazy. The reviews I read gave no love to Kenwood subs, but not true. These subs are probably the best I have had. For 10's, they are straight ridiculous.

I have two of these sitting in a single, sealed enclosure with two individual compartments from SO, along with the Kenwood KAC-8105D amp and man does it sound incredible! I push these things as far as my ear can take, and at times they will render my rear view useless. I have it sitting in the back seat of my Chevy S10 Etx Cab. I'm wanting to kick up the level to max, just to see what they will do. Wonderful subs, great price.

The type of bass you get from your component subwoofer doesn't depend on the woofer alone. You'll need a strong, tightly constructed enclosure for optimum subwoofer performance.
