Raising the Competition with Kicker's CompVT Series
Kicker is a very well known company within the car audio industry and are constantly striving to be the best in innovation, quality, and power output. Their 2010 shallow mount CompVT series subwoofer accomplish all of those qualities and more. This series of subwoofer is available in various sizes with different power ratings to suit any preference desired. The single 2 ohm or 4 ohm version allows for multiple wiring configurations, giving the subwoofer some true versatility. The CompVT features a shallow mount design which is perfect for those with limited space but that still want a subwoofer that can really hit. The built-in steel clearance adapter plate, allows for real shallow installations by replacing part of the enclosure wall. These subwoofers are equipped with an injection molded SoloKon cone woofer and ribbed Santoprene surround for rigidity and optimum performance. The use of stitched surrounding enhances the strength of the cone giving you a product that you can depend on for a long period of time. Spring loaded terminals make installation quick and easy with an added secure connection. The CompVT uses a ventless pole piece and high temperature, shallow four-layer voice coil for heat dissipation. This reduces distortion and increases cleaner power output. Its shallow mount design and other features make the CompVT subwoofer perfect for any installation or application.

I first got one for my truck in a sealed box and then I got another and put them in Ported duel box and they hit really hard. The sound really good in the sealed box for tight responsive bass and have really low bass in the ported for shallow boxes.

I have been loyal to kicker for fifteen or so years, and have always loved their ability to make big sound in small spaces. I had an old school kicker solobaric 12 in a custom box that was too small for a big new subwoofer (5 1/2depth). So I settled of this subwoofer because its kicker and the type R shallow or JL was far too expensive for me. I find this speaker to be slightly better than the 13 year old solobaric that was replaced.

This sub hits really hard i have it in an 0.96 cubic foot sealed angled truck box hooked up at 2 ohms to an mtx jh600 amp and i was shocked at how hard this thing hit for a shallow mount sub you do need to follow the box specs for this sub to sound right i had it in a smaller box and it wasnt even close to sounding like it does in the new truck box.
