About the Kenwood Excelon KFC-XW1041

Bob Bihlmayer

Big sound for a small price

Whatever kind of music you prefer, a solid subwoofer gives you the bass response you need to bring your music to life. Kenwood's Excelon subwoofers are known for rugged construction and tight, punchy sound, and their KFC-XW1041 10" sub brings you the boom you're looking for at a surprisingly reasonable price.

Built tough, plays rough

The KFC-XW1041 sub features a two-piece polypropylene cone with Kenwood's X-Motif design and patterned surface for added rigidity, so you'll get maximum performance with minimal distortion. The sub handles up to 300 watts RMS and works in sealed or ported enclosures as small as 0.65 cubic feet. The CA-101G steel-mesh grille (sold separately) protects your speaker from accidental damage. When you're looking for the impact you need for all kinds of music, this sub is ready to rock.

Features

Sealed Enclosure Applications: Kenwood recommends a sealed enclosure volume of 0.65 ft³ (0.4 ft³ to 1.2 ft³ acceptable). Sealed enclosures provide the most control over a woofer, will handle a lot of power, and provide accurate sonic reproduction, making them suitable for all types of music.

Ported Enclosure Applications: Kenwood recommends a ported enclosure volume of 0.9 ft³ (0.7 ft³ to 1.2 ft³ acceptable) with a 10¾" wide x 1⅛" tall x 25½" long 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 a given amount of power. However, this efficiency comes at the expense of very low frequency output.

Spring Terminals: The spring post terminals will accept pin connectors, single banana plugs, or bare wire up to 10-gauge.

Additional Measurements: When mounted without the trim ring, the sub has these measurements:

  • Mounting Height: 0.428"
  • Flange Height: 0.2"
  • Frame Diameter: 10.563"

Warranty Note: Although the information included with these speakers indicates a 1-year warranty, they are actually covered by the Kenwood eXcelon 2-year warranty.

Q
Can I run this without an amp?

A
I would not recommend it, James. Running this Kenwood Excelon KFC-XW1041 with no additional powerful mono amplifier would provide poor results from a sound quality perspective, though possible. The Sound Ordnance M350-1 amp in the link below is one of our top sellers for its bang for the buck. This would be a solid choice to power the Kenwood subwoofer! https://www.crutchfield.com/p_777M3501/Sound-Ordnance-M350-1.html
