Car stereo systems often have difficulty retaining a clean bass sound in such a confined space. The Kenwood KSC-SW10 active subwoofers retain much of the bass that is virtually destroyed by most systems and it does it relatively cost effective. The sub packs in a 150W max power amplifier with a dual voice coil 180mm concave subwoofer and passive radiator.

The technology used in passive radiators produces a impressive amount of bass for such a small and compact amp. The KSC-SW10 is compatible with most audio systems since it sports both a RCA line level or speaker level hookup. The 35~120Hz subwoofer also comes with a remote and velcro straps to place where ever you want within the confines of your automobile paradise, while measuring only 369×224×94mm. The KSC-SW10 will be available in mid-May in Japan for around $185. — Andrew Dobrow

Ok, so maybe a subwoofer can’t go on a diet, but Pioneer is thinning up one of their latest subwoofers. Think of the TS-SW2541D subwoofer by Pioneer as the Jared (from subway) of subwoofers. This bad boy can now fit into places subwoofers were never meant to go. Why, you might ask? Well, it’s because this subwoofer only needs 3 inches of depth to get that same bass sound from other subs that require much more space than that. This is a huge breakthrough for subwoofers, because now people can fit a lot more subwoofers in a lot less space. Just imagine that internet video of the woman losing her glass eye in the car with the music playing. Now imagine that same situation if that car had this subwoofer in it; both of that lady’s eyes would probably fall out. Now do you understand why this is such a big breakthrough?
