Product overview

The KSC-PSW88 is a self-contained powered subwoofer suited to vehicles where space is limited but bass reinforcement is required. The 8-inch driver in a 72mm-deep enclosure can fit under seats or in compact boot spaces. Speaker-level inputs allow connection directly from the head unit without a separate amplifier, and signal sensing turn-on removes the need for a remote turn-on wire. The variable LPF (50Hz to 150Hz) integrates the sub with a wide range of speaker setups. The 4-metre wired level controller allows bass adjustment from the driver's seat. Bass boost (0 to 12dB) and a fixed 20Hz subsonic filter provide tuning flexibility.
