Description
Kenwood KSC-PSW8 - Compact powered 8" subwoofer
Kenwood made their KSC-PSW8 powered subwoofer to deliver impressive bass in less space. This compact powered enclosure fits under the seat in most vehicles, where it produces bass response thats equal to that of a larger subwoofer in your trunk. It offers a great solution for those who want to reinforce their low-frequency punch without losing a lot of room.
150 watts + 8" sub = bass
This Kenwood gives you impressive bass from a truly compact enclosure with an 8" woofer. The rigid enclosure eliminates rattles, while the durable built-in amplifier feeds the speaker 150 watts RMS. Kenwood also includes a wired remote, so you can control the bass from the drivers seat. A wiring harness and mounting brackets are also included.
Connections
The KSC-PSW8 comes with a single harness with power/ground/turn-on wiring and RCA input connections. The harness has 16.25 lengths of 14-gauge power wire (with an in-line 10A ATO fuse) and 18-gauge turn-on lead, plus a 5 dual 18-gauge ground wire. It also includes a 28" RCA input for connecting the subwoofer to an aftermarket stereo via RCA cables. A 14 speaker input harness is provided for connecting the sub to a factory radio (or a radio without RCA outputs). You can splice it to the head units speaker wires and plug it into the RCA input. An RJ-45 jack is provided on the bottom of the subwoofer for plugging in the remote control cable.
Controls
The only controls for the PSW8 are located on the wired remote. The rotary volume control (input sensitivity) lets you match the input of the subwoofer to the output of the head unit, and to control the volume of the sub, relative to the other speakers in the system. The rotary frequency control adjusts the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter between 50Hz and 125Hz. If you have large main speakers (6x9 or 6-1/2") in the vehicle, you can set the subwoofers low pass filter near the 50Hz to 80Hz range. If the main speakers are smaller (4" or 5-1/4"), the low pass filter should be set in the 100Hz to 125Hz range.
