Features

IPX6 Rated: The Kenwood XM1041BL offers a tough design that conforms to the IPX6 standard, so you can enjoy high-quality bass even under the harsh environment of marine and motorsports use. The IPX6 rating guarantees water and dust ingress protection, so the woofer can withstand marine and outdoor environments.

Note: The IPX6 rating is only for the woofer. The included remote control is not IPX6 rated.

10" Polypropylene Woofer: The XM1041BL features a 10" polypropylene cone with rubber surround and resin molded frame basket. Its large magnet produces high braking force, while the 4-layer voice coil can handle a large amount of power input. In addition, the Magnetic Circuit, whose volume has been increased by 35% compared to the conventional design, has greatly increased the driving force to move the diaphragm. Plus, the durability of the vibration system has been greatly enhanced to handle the high input power of 300W RMS. This all results om clear and powerful bass sound reproduction.

LED Illumination: In addition to great bass sound, the CW-DR1040ML is also equipped with LED Illumination so you can choose your favorite color that suits your mood or music. Using the included remote control, you can from 21 different colors patterns with varying speeds and brightness. The LED illumination feature will require a separate hardwired power and ground connection.

Remote Control: The included RF remote can be used in sunlight and does not require direct line of sight to the subwoofer. It has a wireless range of approximately 98' (30m). The battery is powered by a single CR2025 3V battery that comes pre-installed.

Note: A 10' harness (4-pin) is included to link up to twelve CW-DR1040ML subwoofers, so you can control them all with a single remote. When linked the subwoofers will display the same color pattern. You cannot control subwoofers individually.

Mounting Options: The Kenwood XM1041BL is designed for free-air application, but can also be installed in a sealed enclosure that measures 17.0" (w) x 17.0" (h) x 16.0" (d) with a 2.02 cu.ft internal volume and 9.1875" (diameter) mounting hole. The box should be made of 3/4" thick MDF (medium density fiberboard) or high density particle board. The grille is fixed and is not removable. The woofer is held in place by six screws.

What Kenwood Marine Amp do you recommend to power one of these Subs?

chris Sep 15, 2023

1 answer

The Kenwood Excelon XM1041 marine subwoofer can handle a maximum of 300-watts RMS, Chris. For best performance, we can meet that number exactly at 4-ohms with the Kenwood Excelon XM502-1 in the link below. This amp is a perfect match! Do not forget to pair the Kicker 47KMPK8 marine wiring kit in the second link below, the right length marine 2-channel RCA, and marine 12-gauge speaker wire for your project. I hope this helps! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_113XM5021/Kenwood-Excelon-XM502-1.html https://www.crutchfield.com/p_20647KMPK8/Kicker-47KMPK8-8-gauge.html

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
