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.

shaking my head lmao damn...

The following review is for a previous version (10CVR124).

well kicker has always been a well known brand and made loud efficient subs but me and my girl had purchased 3 of these cvr 12's and have them running on a hifonics zues 2400.1D at 2ohm and they sound super weak mind u I have them set at 2ohms at the amp; is the amp is pulling half its power but still they should bang like the old cvr's. I had recently bought 3 hifonics Hercules and had them running at 0.67 ohm at the amp subs ran in parallel. and they banged but eventually they blew after only 2 weeks of running them here and there they literally were smoking lol.instead of upgrading to the cvr 12's I should've went w the new hifonics brutus subs they prolly would've sounded way better than these kickers horrible im disappointed really ima put them at 1/2 ohm and see if they pound a little better and can handle that zues amp or their goin back...I guess what im saying is if ur gonna ever go w a kicker sub id recommend the solo baric L7 they have always quaked.!!

Great subs

Good subs. Have two running at 1ohm with a 2400 watt RMS Hifonics class D amp. I am very happy with this product and would recommend these subs to anyone.

Great sub!

Recommend this to anyone with a car or small SUV who wants to have a hard hitting sub. I have my Rockford amp running this sub and it slaps really hard in my SUV.

Bang Bang

This subwoofer is serious. Instantly knocked my rearview mirror off post installation, which has never happened before and I had a Kicker CVX 12" previously. Killer sub, I highly recommend.

Better Than Expected

The following review is for a previous version (10CVR124).

I saw these subs a while ago but looked at the specs and didn't want to purchase them. My audio guy recommended them to me so I decided to give them a shot. I have them in a custom box in a Caddy truck and they quake. Good, clean, bass. Reliable subs, no complaints here. I'm not sure of the wattage handling because I'm not using for competition purposes but I've ridden 3 hours blasting them with no probs.

good sounding subwoofers!

The following review is for a previous version (10CVR124).

These subs are nice looking I have a 03 Buick century. Furthermore these subwoofers hit hard most people say that you cant have good sound quality with kicker subwoofers however you can it is all in the control settings of the headunit and the amp whatever you do try to keep your gain as low as possible and bass at reasonable level and you will do just fine kicker cvx can take high excursion and most important hits very hard
