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.
Pros and cons
- Low profile, space saving design
- 160 watt powered 8 inch driver
- Light at 2.6 pounds
- Wired only, no wireless connection
- Compact size limits maximum bass output
Performance notes
The 8 inch driver and 160 watt amplifier sit in a flat, low profile enclosure just 2.76 inches tall, trading cabinet volume for a shallow footprint that fits under furniture or on a shelf.
