Question

Would a Kenwood KFC-W3514DVC 12" subwoofer be a good buy? its 1500 W peak and 380 rms?

Answer 1

kenwoods r no good...go with pioneer premier or kicker...i prefer pioneer premier and they r cheaper...youll get 400 rms out of them and r only 65 dollars on onlinecarstereo.com

Answer 2

I'm no fan of Kenwood either.  I have 2 12" Kenwoods in a bandpass.  I'm using it for a couch instead of bass, that's how much they suck.  Alpine Type-Rs are alright.  They're best suited in ported boxes with a good 850 watts, but I feed mine the same as your rms and i think it sounds great (its in a sealed box btw).
