Performance

It requires about 850 watts rms power and the frequency response goes from 20-100hz. If you would like to see subwoofers with wider frequency response then check out our Kenwood ksc sw11 compact enclosed subwoofer review. Kicker claims this is one of their best products yet since the L7 square series, so you may not want to sleep on it.

Design

The Kicker has a single black design with the Kicker logo in the middle. The 12’ inch subwoofer works best with a sealed or vented enclosure. You may be interested in the MTX Terminator tne212d 200 Watt Enclosure review if you would like to find a subwoofer with an enclosure already on it. The mounting depth on your enclosure should be 7-1/8 to fit properly. It is made with a thick ceramic magnet and durable heavy duty voice coil.

Value

While these subwoofers will provide a quality sound that will let you enjoy music on a new level, they are slightly more expensive than other models like the Pioneer ts sw2002d2 8 inch shallow mount subwoofer which will also give you an upgrade at a cheaper price. But rest assured the power handling, and volume of this device is worth saving up your dollars for a truly immersive sound system.
