Kenwood KSC-PSW88 8 Inch 700W Powered Subwoofer with Low Pass Filter Bass Boost Subsonic Filter Signal Sensing Turn-On and 4m Wired Level Control

The Kenwood KSC-PSW88 is an 8-inch 700W peak powered subwoofer in a compact 289mm x 215mm x 72mm enclosure. Variable low pass filter (50Hz to 150Hz), 0 to 12dB bass boost, 20Hz fixed subsonic filter, speaker-level and line-level inputs, signal sensing turn-on, and a 4-metre wired level control cable included.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Does the KSC-PSW88 require a separate amplifier? No. The KSC-PSW88 is a powered subwoofer with an integrated amplifier. Speaker-level inputs allow it to connect directly from the head unit's speaker outputs without a separate amplifier.

Does the KSC-PSW88 need a remote turn-on wire? No. The signal sensing turn-on feature automatically powers the unit on when an audio signal is detected, removing the need for a dedicated remote turn-on wire from the head unit.

What is the wired level control used for? The 4-metre wired level control allows the driver to adjust the subwoofer's bass output from the driver's seat without reaching into the boot or under a seat to access the unit directly.

What is the subsonic filter on the KSC-PSW88? The fixed 20Hz subsonic filter rolls off frequencies below the useful range, protecting the driver from infrasonic content that can cause distortion or damage without contributing audible bass.

Will the KSC-PSW88 fit under a seat? The KSC-PSW88 measures 289mm x 215mm x 72mm. At 72mm deep it is designed for under-seat and compact boot installations. Measure your available space before purchasing to confirm fitment.
