Kenwood Car Subwoofers

Kenwood Car Subwoofer

Kenwood makes high-quality car audio equipment including a range of electronics for navigation and video. If you're someone who appreciates high-quality sound and spends a lot of time driving, Kenwood subwoofers are a great investment. These speakers produce bass sounds with frequencies below 100 Hz. Because your car's small speakers focus on the midrange tones, distortion increases at higher volumes. They also can't generate a good quality bass sound by themselves because they were designed to focus on mid and high frequencies. With a high-quality subwoofer, however, your car's stereo system gets an audio boost which levels up your music-listening experience. As a result, you'll notice some extra depth in the sound quality.

Big Sound by Kenwood

When choosing the type of Kenwood subwoofer that is right for your car, there are several things to consider, such as the size, type of enclosure, power, sensitivity and impedance. Size matters because your car needs to have enough room for installation. However, a smaller model typically needs to work harder to produce loud bass.

Usually the larger the type, the louder and lower it can go. At Abt, we offer primarily 10-inch and 12-inch models. These are best suited for car music lovers who prefer a louder and booming bass but still want a relatively compact speaker. Both sizes provide a happy medium between accuracy and loudness. These units also come in sealed or ported enclosures. Sealed enclosures are constructed to create a deeper bass compared to open enclosure speakers. For people who love music with heavy bass, they are a must-have.

Consider the power, sensitivity, and frequency ranges of the Kenwood subwoofers. The power and sensitivity work together to achieve high output. One with high RMS and sensitivity ratings ensures that your speaker requires less to produce the same amount of sound. The frequency range determines how low they can go. In this case, the lower the frequency, the better.

You'll need to match the impedance on your sub and amp. The impedance of your subwoofer is represented in ohms and is the electrical resistance in your speaker. A lower impedance means that the electric signal or music can more efficiently pass through the speaker accepting more power and generating the sound you're looking for.

Get the Perfect Sound

When equipped with Kenwood subwoofers, you'll notice a better bass response, greater clarity in sound and reduction in distortion. However, depending on the available space of your car and needs, different types may suit your situation.

The most common speakers are the powered and passive types. Powered models have a built-in amplifier meaning the driver and amplifier are housed in one box. These don't require a lot of input and only need to be connected to the receiver. Ideally, you'll need to install them in your vehicle's trunk, meaning it's best suited for cars with a lot of space. Passive models require an external car amp and do not come with an enclosure. However, they are best suited for cars with limited space.

Kenwood subwoofers are built to reproduce extremely low frequencies, so you'll hear the lowest frequencies in your music. Depending on your available car space, budget and needs, Abt has a wide selection of car audio equipment to choose from. We also carry car audio amplifiers and other vehicle accessories.
