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.

Bought this Sub becuase the stock one died pretty quickly. Due to the size of the armrest compartment and the speaker requirements - this was the recommended sub to purchase for my 2004 Jeep Wrangler TJ. It took less than an hour to install. It looks and sounds great! And yes, it looks great because you can just barely make out the "kicker" logo through the vents if you glance down that way. I've had it for about 3-4 months. I'm not blaring this thing but I definitely listen to my music loud in the Jeep since there's a lot of outside noise.

Mounted this sub in a Jeep Wrangler TJ to replace the stock sub in the armrest. The armrest enclosure needed minimal hacking to fit this sub and after getting it all back together it looks just like stock and sub lays nice under back seat. Jeep thumps very well on just this sub. We are thinking of adding a second just like this in the back to add even more. VERY pleased!!

Not only do the speakers fit perfectly (size wise) in the Monsoon system for my Camaro SS, but they are the correct ohm setup for the factory amplifier.
They installed super easy and provide a nice bass sound. Are they 12s with 400watts, no, but they sound larger than what they are. I usually have the bass on my stock setup set on "0" and a heavier bass songs, I have to turn it down into the negative range other wise it will over power everything else (all the stock speakers in my car have been upgraded to better speakers).
If you want a simple upgrade for a good price, these kickers are the ticket. For which wire goes where, check out the stereo section of LS1tech.com for + and - wires hookups.

Replaced the factory sub in my TJ with this. Fits in the OEM enclosure with a little trimming and sounds freaking amazing. Pushing it with a DX500.1 (overkill but a great deal).
