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 have just completed the installation of this tiny 6.5 inch sub and am suprised with the volume it generates. The bass is not an earth shaker, but rather a nice low end frequency that makes all types of music sound great. I installed it in my Porsche Boxster, (space is a serious issue in this car)!

I made a custom sealed enclosure in the recommended .20 cubic foot size. I wouldn't do it any other way!

I have a 2000 BMW M Roadster that is in great condition (low mileage) but my audio components were showing signs of age. I purchased this subwoofer at the recommendation of the installation people at Best Buy. It provides great quality sound, even when the top is down. I highly recommend it if you are suffering from degraded sound.

I put this sub in a 2012 Sorento with 4 Rockford Prime speakers and a Rockford amp. I kept the factory head unit and couldn't be happier with the sound of the system. Clean highs, deep bass. Won't rattle the neighbor's windows, but has excellent response

I recently purchased the 5-1/2 inch Kicker subwoofer and installed it in my 2000 BMW M Roadster. I love the deep base that comes out of my speaker!
