About the Kenwood Excelon KFC-XW1200F

Dominic DeVito
The Kenwood Excelon KFC-XW1200F 12" "flat" subwoofer produces serious bass output in the hard-to-fit areas of your compact car or truck. And this shallow-mount sub measures less than 4" deep, so you can get creative with your installation.

The Kenwood Excelon KFC-XW1200F 12" "flat" subwoofer produces serious bass output in the hard-to-fit areas of your compact car or truck. And this shallow-mount sub measures less than 4" deep, so you can get creative with your installation.

The carbon-glass fiber cone employs a honeycomb pattern to deliver quick response in demanding conditions without flexing. The beefed-up rubber surround maintains control over the cone, minimizing distortion caused by resonance. A die-cast aluminum basket offers a rock-solid housing with plenty of venting to keep the heat down. The silver-plated push terminals offer convenient connections and provide excellent signal transfer.

Features

Flat Subwoofer: The Kenwood eXcelon flat subwoofer design is approximately 40% slimmer in height than a standard subwoofer. This makes them ideal for installation in the tightest of spaces such as behind or under the seat of a pickup truck.

Carbon-Glass Fiber Cone: The eXcelon flat woofer uses a carbon-glass fiber honeycomb cone which allows the woofer to be efficient and durable at the same time.

Rubber Surround: The Kenwood woofer features a smooth linear rubber surround for added durability and increased excursion resulting in exceptional deep bass response.

Super Linear Spider: The flat woofer utilizes a super linear spider for maximum control over the woofer's linear motion to improve overall sound quality.

Heat Transfer System: The Kenwood woofer features an advanced Heat Transfer System designed specifically for its slim-design to provide proper ventilation to keep the woofer cool.

Aluminum-Cast Basket: The woofer is housed in a cast-aluminum basket for increased rigidity and long-lasting reliability.

Spring Terminals: The flat woofer utilizes a pair of silver-plated spring terminals on one side of the woofer for connection to your amplifier's speaker wiring. The spring terminals will accept up to 10 AWG speaker wire.

Concealing Ring: The eXcelon woofer comes supplied with a removable, rubber concealing ring used to hide the woofer's mounting screws for a neat and professional looking installation. The concealing ring increases the top mounting height to 1".

Enclosure Compatibility

Sealed Box Volume: The sealed box size recommended by Kenwood is 0.8 cu/ft.

Vented Box Volume: The vented box size recommended by Kenwood range is 0.8 cu/ft. One 3" diameter x 14" long port should be used with a 0.8 cu/ft enclosure.

Q
Is this speaker worth repairing??

A
Greetings Thomas. We do not repair speakers here, so I would not know what the cost of a repair would end up being. Then what kind of warranty would you get? Its still available, and if it were me, just buy new.
hogan  Jun 16, 2023 (Staff)
A
Not sure how much to repair it, but i am really impressed by these subs.
babak  Jun 15, 2023
Q
If I get 2 of these can I use a ported box behind my seats of my pick up? Or they have to be on a sealed
petey  Aug 31, 2022

A
This sub can be used in a sealed enclosure. It would be possible to use two in this scenario. Ideally, a ported box would have a 0.8 cu. ft. airspace for each subwoofer.

Thanks for your question. For information on selecting the best amp for your subs I would recommend reaching out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. They will be able to help determine the differences between the amp models and help you make the best choice for your system.

Q
Can you make the box a little bigger than specs to make it play a little lower?
randy allen  Feb 29, 2020
1 answer
A
Yes you can do that. You should be careful not to go too big though or you will start to sacrifice accuracy/ tightness.

Q
How to remove conceling ring on excelon subs?
dennis  Mar 02, 2019

A
The rubber concealing ring should pull right off. You may have to get it started at one edge and work your way around.
ryan  Mar 13, 2019 (Staff)
Q
Does this speaker come with a cover or can one be bought? I will be mounting it inside an old blazer behind the wheel well in the sheet metal and want it protected.

That Kenwood subwoofer does not come with a grill included but we do carry a 12" waffle-style grill and clamps that would be compatible: https://bit.ly/2tv1jw7. If you have any questions about that setup or want to look at alternatives you can also connect with one of our Product Advisors here: https://bit.ly/2QNxGQB

Q
How long is the break in period?
christopher  Apr 22, 2016
1 answer
A
Kenwood doesn't specify a break-in period for this particular model; however we've found that most car audio subwoofers require a break-in period of 12 to 24 hours of playback before they will deliver optimum sound quality. I hope that helps. My Bio: http://www.crutchfield.com/Support/Bio.aspx?bio=159

Q
What is the maximum air space 2 of these can handle?
braxton  Apr 02, 2014
1 answer
A
We show the max air space as 0.8, so for 2 it would be 1.6 cu/ft.
