Workhorse Woofer

The next step in world-class bass engineering is here with the CompR Subwoofer. CompR Subwoofers combine advanced components and superior technology for a workhorse bass-maker only KICKER could create. As the next generation of CompVR, KICKER's top-selling woofer of all time, the CompR Subwoofer continues its legacy of industry-leading performance with bass impact and innovation.

CompR takes flexibility to another level with a single pair of stout, push-button wire terminals featuring a convenient impedance-selector slider for easily changing the dual-voice-coil impedance (2/8 Ohms or 1/4 Ohms, depending upon model). No additional wiring is needed for switching between series or parallel configurations.

Besides convenience, CompR delivers the deepest musical bass and is made to work perfectly with KICKER KX-Series mono amplifiers. The motor structure itself is a mechanical marvel, utilizing a large-diameter, progressive-roll spider for increased linearity and better sound with high-strength Spiralead tinsel leads woven through for maximum transfer of signal. A KICKER standard, the one-piece UniPlate, features the vented pole piece and bumped back plate that's tapered toward the edge to improve the magnetic force within the gap, optimizing that magnetic energy. The "bump" provides added voice-coil clearance, assuring precise performance. High-temp coil wire winding around the pole piece and innovative Quad Venting slots contribute to the woofers' efficient cooling attributes and durability.

CompR features an injection-molded polypropylene cone and tough Santoprene surround for ultra-rigidity and minimal distortion. The full-coverage, steel basket provides full protection of the large spider and complete motor assembly. While the basket fully protects the inner workings, its mounting depth has been minimized further to easily fit into more installations.

I love Kicker

I used to own two kicker cvr 12's then "upgraded" to a Rockford 15'. What a mistake. I blew it and bought the Kicker CWR152...it reminded me why I'm so in love with Kicker.

Great Sub!

I got this sub because I wanted to see if Kicker's new CompR line was as good as they said and i think it is. It hits all the highs and lows that I want it to. I have it running off of a Hifonics Zeus 2400 watt amp wired down to 1 ohm. The box I have is not the one I want but the only reasonable price I could find to ship to an APO, it is sealed and 1.9 cubic feet, i would go much bigger if I had the option. Overall great sub, only complaint would be if you get the 2 ohm sub you can only wire it to 1 or 8 ohms with the switch, just a heads up.

Awesome sub. Great price

Bought one of these to start with to replace a blown CVR and this thing quakes!! Love the impedance switch making it easy to select the ohms. I have it at 1 ohm with a hifonics 2400 watt Brutus next to another CVR and it sounds amazing. Ordering 2 more to run 3 very soon.
