Overview

The Kenwood KSC-PSW7EQ is a wired powered subwoofer rated at 160 watts with an 8 inch driver. Its enclosure measures 8.66 x 11.02 x 2.76 inches and weighs 2.6 pounds, a low profile footprint that sits flat rather than standing tall.

At under 3 inches tall, this subwoofer is built to fit into tight spaces rather than sit as a floor-standing box. The listed mounting is tabletop, and the connection is wired, so placement is fixed once cabled.

  • 8 inch driver
  • 160 watt power
  • Tabletop mount
  • 2.76 inch low profile enclosure

Who it's for

Works for anyone needing bass reinforcement in a space too shallow for a conventional subwoofer cabinet, such as a small media console or compact listening setup.
