From Big and Beefy to Lean and Mean

eXcelon super subs are the choice for customers into serious bass. The KFC-XW12R has a 12-inch carbon fiberglass cone woofer, two-piece cast aluminum basket, double stacked magnet, and dual voice coil (3 ohm + 3 ohm). This puppy offers up 1000 Watts RMS and includes smart cosmetic designs, like high damping fins and a vented basket that make it very heat efficient. The KFC-XW12R can take a whole lot of punishment because the design creates more strength and surface area for heat to dissipate from the motor and spider (it even has fuses just in case).

Rated at an intestine-twisting 3000 Watts Max, the KFC-XW12R 12” Super Sub isn’t for the High School Musical crowd.

The KFC-XW12R uses a black trim and black cast frame that look great installed, and the butyl rubber surround is treated to give the rubber a

stiffer quality. It even includes smart switching that, with a flip of the switch,

lets you put the voice coils in series or parallel, depending on whether you’re using a mono or stereo amp. Other key audio features include a symmetrical voice coil, a heat transfer system that keeps heat away from the motor, a super linear spider, and smooth linear rubber surround.

For tight squeezes,

the KFC-XW1200F 12-inch and KFC- XW1000F 10-inch have a mere 4” mounting depth and pack in 350/250 Watts RMS. Put these babies in a Mazda Miata and see what happens!

Our lean and mean KFC-XW1200F and KFC-XW1000F shallow subs of- fer big bass flavor without the unwanted pounds. With a 4-inch mounting depth, these subs have a single voice coil at 4 ohm, a cast aluminum

basket, and a removable front trim ring with a clean finish. Both the 10- inch and the 12-inch will fit nicely in a small, sealed custom or prefab enclosure (installers will likely build their own).

Carbon Fiber Honeycomb

Carbon fiber material makes for super strong cones, but what you can’t see is on the back side of our shallow subs. A honeycomb design (it looks like a bee’s nest) dramatically adds to cone strength. Other key features of these slender beasts are the aluminum die-cast basket heat transfer system, super linear spider and surround, and silver-plate push terminals

that accept up to 8 AWG.

Kenwood Subwoofers: Success through Excess

Kenwood subwoofers offer mega doses of bass as well. Returning champions include the KFC-W3514DVC, KFC-W3011, and the KFC- W2511. New to the lineup is the KSC-SW10 easy-fit sub that’s small enough to fit under car seats and offers up 150 Watts of power.

The KFC-W3514DVC has a deep cone design that can move 20% more

air volume than ordinary designs.

The KFC-3514DVC 12” sub handles 380 Watts of continuous power, 1500 Watts at peak, and includes a titanium coated cone woofer and rubber surround for durability. Its oversized cone can move more air and produce louder and lower bass.

Notice how the terminals are positioned on one side, making parallel wiring a snap. The new magnet cover overlaps part of the basket for better sound and cosmetic appearance, and even the gasket is de-

tachable for two-way installation. Because the woofer can be mounted either “magnet-in” or “cone-in,” the installation trim-ring can be placed either on the front

or rear of the basket for a custom-looking finish.
