Product details
Shallow 10-inch eXcelon sub
The KFC-XW1000F uses a rigid carbon-glass fiber honeycomb cone and a durable rubber surround on an aluminum die-cast basket. Kenwood pairs that cone with a stress-free spider, a large ferrite magnet and an optimized yoke so the motor can reproduce deep low frequencies in a short mounting depth of 3-3/8 inches (85 mm).

Power and enclosure
Kenwood rates the sub at 250 watts rated input power and 1,000 watts peak at a nominal 4 ohms. Sensitivity is 90 dB at 1 watt/1 meter, free-air resonance is 39 Hz and frequency response runs from 35 to 800 Hz. The recommended sealed or ported box volume is 0.6 cubic feet (17.0 liters). Cutout diameter is 9-1/8 inches, overall depth is 4-1/4 inches and net weight is 10.36 pounds.

Install details
Push wiring is ready for heavy speaker cable; Kenwood lists 8 AWG speaker wire among the special features. The magnet weighs 2.38 pounds and the voice-coil diameter is 1-15/16 inches. Outer size is 10-13/16 inches across. Mounting screws, a gasket, a cushion and badges are included for the install. Because this is a shallow-mount design, confirm that your enclosure board and the air space behind it match Kenwood’s 0.6 cubic foot guidance before cutting the hole.
