Loudest and Toughest for the Money

So I bought this sub back in October of 2012 for my first budget sound system. It is in a slot ported r/t 300 box and powered by an infinity 1300a amp. I have to say that just one of these by it self gets really loud, especially in a smaller car ( I have a Corolla). Loud enough to rattle the car, and mirrors, and if you're sitting in the backseat, you can definitely get a massive headache, haha. With that said, they will not hit the absolute lowest notes in rap songs, nor do they produce the cleanest bass. But for the $49.99 I got it for, my Comp has been an excellent value. I will be putting alot of sound deadening in my car in the next few weeks, which should help improve the sound quality even more. Honestly, even though Kicker rates this at 150 watts rms, it can take 200 safely. Thats what I've been powering it at for the last near 6 months. From the inside of the car, this is really all the bass you need. If you're one of those people who wants to be heard down the block...well you might wanna spend some more $$$ on a Kicker CVR or an Alpine Type R. But for me for right now, this speaker dominates on the bang for buck meter (literally). And I have to admit, the design of the woofer itself looks pretty awesome compared to the generic looking subs offered by brands like Kenwood or Pioneer. When I pop the trunk, alot of people look at it and say "dang!" followed by nervous laughter. No joke. All in all, this is about the best budget woofer that you could buy and I would recommend it to anyone!

300 bangin!!!!!

I got 2 of these in a pro box with 1000 watt amp in my 300. These things beat up the block!!!!!!!!!!!!! best money i ever spent. Highly recommended. Only thing is guaranteed rattle but nothing a little dynamat cant fix.

noise makers

yo wat up ppls they call me the crazy cuz I have 8 of these subwoofers. LOL! I have had my whole neighborhood call the cops on me at nite time becuz of my subs. if anybody wants low pice subs 4 a gud amounts of noise i would strongly recommend these. if u wanna check them out come 2 springbreak nationals in Daytona Beach,FL and come support my truck. Please and thank you.

great subs

Great sound quality if you connected with a kicker amp.

Straight Monsters :)

my very first system were Fusion audio audio 12's (CRAP) but i sold them and bought 2 kicker comp 12's (2010) model. and wow these things slap. i got them wired to a sony xplod 1000 watt amp. with a ported box. WOW KICKER ALL THE WAY!

Speechless loud kicker

Put these in a probox theyll knock hard makes alot of bass sound around inside your car

Great Product Highly Recomend Kicker COmps

I currently have 6 of these in my truck on 3000 watts rms doing 150s.. believe me its all about the box :) in 6 months I have only ripped the surrounds on 2 during a competition once... I replaced them and backed off a bit now its GREAT.. have 2 more waiting to go in.. 8 comp 12s should be fun

Decent for the price

I was actually disappointed these kickers. I have them wired into a 600w amp and it just doesn't hit hard enough. If I turn them up to high distortion comes into play. Although, I listen to deathcore and there is no real need for loud bass hits; I was still hoping for some mirror shaking. IN CONCLUSION: for the price I paid these subs do just fine for a starter set.

kicker

i have two of these and a 1500 watt boss amp and they rattle the peoples rides beside me. i would strongly recommend these subs. Only get them if you want to be heard!

loud

I got two of these and they are loud. Only 150 rms each and on a 400.2 pioneer amp, my neighbors can hear me coming down the street. They are loud but have terrible sound quality. If your looking for sound quality i would not recommend these.

Insane quality

I have ONE of these 12 inch Kickers and it is awesome! Dont let the 150w RMS fool you. that is all you need for these speakers. I have a little MTX amp that pushes this sub at about 100w rms per channel and it hits harder than most of my buddies 1200w systems. It hits the lows amazingly. although its not that good on the highs. But these kickers are one of the best speakers to by for this price.

AMAZING Subwoofer

Best subwoofer I have ever heard! HIGHLY recommended. This subwoofer has made me a Kicker customer and fan for life. Handles bass excellently and sounds amazing. And with the great price it is unbeatable!

great entry level sub.

I bought these subs and put them in a badpass ported sub box with a fosgate amp powering them and to tell you the truth they put off a decent amount of bass for a new basshead. I would very much recomend you spend the first 2 weeks just breaking them in. you will get a much better outcome.

Kicker c124

I just got 2 12's and if you want an affordable sub, these subs will rock your world.

Awesome Subs!!!!!

I would definitely recommend these subs to any first time buyers. They are the best subs in the price range without question. using the kicker zx300.1 to power them in a custom sealed box. I had neighbors a block down call me and complain of the noise inside there house!

great product

I had 2 of these in my Grand Cherokee 96 w Sony amp 1000w and it knocked my rear view mirror give it a 10...

These will slam

i have 4 of these all in sealed boxes, in a truck, hooked up to a memphis 1000 watt amp (halfway turned up) and these things slam hard. one of the best systems i've ever owned.

BEAST!!!

This thing is a machine. I just got this thing yesterday. I love it. It whomps, and i only got it on the kicker zx200 amp. Can only imagine it on a bigger amp. Highly recommend!!!

KICKER COMP AWESOME!!!

Man i have two of these on a lanzar max224 1000watt amp in a vented box with a pioneer deh2400ub headunit nd i gotta say these things are crazy u can her me when im two blocks away i love kicker stuff !!!KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK KICKERS!!

Great first subwoofers

These are my first subwoofers. I have them in a sealed box paired with a kicker zx 300.1 amp. They give great bass inside the car and enough to shake my side mirrors no problem and not that horrible sheet metal rattle you hear on some cars. I would go for the ported box package kicker has on here if you really want bass though.

beats good

I have 2 of these subs and they sound great. Would tell anyone to purchase them good bang for the price if u on a budget.

awesome product

i have 2 of these in a sealed box with a ken wood kac 8105d mono block amp. i have it wired at 2 ohms and its barely turned up all the way. i gotta tell yuh it slams really hard and after a hard days of work its nice to get a massage while driving home. highly recommend these

Decent Sub for a Killer Price!

I have 2 of these wired down to 2 ohms each at 225 RMS on a Kicker 450.2 amp and they do hit pretty hard for being so low in power, but both of them flex my doors, mirrors, etc!

great for the price

put two in a sealed box powered by the kicker zx 300.1. I was amazed at how loud they got because they are in a soft top jeep and my friends say they can hear me driving a block down the road. they are good for anyone that wants to add some boom to their system without spending a lot of $$

booooooom

These things are loud I had two in a Kicker spec box and i had police come to me at street lights and told me to turn them down

beats beats beats

Ordered two of these to go with the two I already had. I must say for the price I can hang with anybody 4 12's hitting like a sledge hammer.

Budget bass

My buddy had a pair of these in a Sebring on a zx300.1. Sounded pretty decent. Definately one of the best bang for your buck woofers. Good spl.

sweet

I have these subs in my 87 gmc sierra and its loud!!!! Shake everything my steering wheel shakes. for the price its a great started system i love them

Great value

This piece of equipment is great. Makes my Dodge shake and I only have the one 12" in it

Awesome subs

I had two of these in a ported box with a kicker kx450.2. I have owned/intalled car audio systems for about 5 years or so and these were amazing for entry level subs. They hit close to my 15" l7 did. When hooked up right in the right size box, they are monsters. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to add a moderate amount of bass.

12" kicker comp

two of em are adequate for my full size caprice in a box's built to SQ specs. most everybody i have listen to it can't beleive it's only 300 watts... eh. the only thing i dont like is the wire terminals are spring loaded not the best design.

great sub for the price and power

Hard to beat this sub for the price when you get the 2 for 1 deal. If you want good bass without breaking the bank or worrying about low gauge cables, caps, or upgrading your power system this may be a great sub for you.

Wow...

These subwoofers bump hard. I didnt think they would because of the 300w max power but they do. I have them hooked up to a 600w kenwood monoblock in my 2005 Ford Escape and they sound amazing. I would definitely recommend this for people looking for cheap subs that sound great without having too much power.

Great buy 2 for 1

Great speaker very nice deep bass...and u dnt even have to have a good amp on them! i would recomend them to anyone!!!

good woofer

Very good woofer for beginners sounds great i am going to buy one mere to have the pair

Amazing subs

Kicker is awesome. The subs look great and sound great.

Worth every cent

I have installed 8 of these subs in different vehicles, they slam in the right box (2cuf a piece, and with a good clean 200w rms. if ur runnnig sealed in your trunk these may not be for you but in a suz or truck in a ported box you will be happy that you bought them

Great Value

This is a great subwoofer! I had two of these in a ported box and they hit extremely HARD! My neighbors hate me because of these subs. They say they can hear me from a mile away!

Great purchase

The speakers sound really good. I have people ask me who I got those speakers from. I tell them Sonic. The employees are very helpful.

Great Value

Product works and sounds great! I reccomend anyone to purchase this brand (Kicker) at an great price from Sonic Electronic.

Great Sub

Before I had a Boss Audio 10, now I have 2 Kicker comp 12's. They are loud as hell, they shake the walls all over the house, my mom is always making me turn them off. I bought a 1000 watt kenwood amp to go with them and its perfect. Great for the price. (i got them buy one get one free)

cant beat the 2 for 1

Good sounding subs, definitely worth how much I payed for them. I have 2 of these in a ported box and they hit nicely. The highs and mids are nice but i have heard better lows out of other 12s. If you are looking for a budget system that hits hard then go with these

It's alright

I've had it for about a month and it is breaking in and sounding better and better , it replaced a lanzar that was 20 years old and that I paid $300. For back then . Even though it's not as outstanding as the lanzar , I'm getting used to it and it sounds good! Also it isn't as power hungry as the Lanzar , I have half a ADS Pq 20 bridged powering it and that's all it needs(200-400w) yes the amp is over 20 years old too , seen many rides and still bumps!!

A real kick in the butt.

Incorporated the sub woofer into my car from the trunk through the rear seat. Removed the extra padding in the center of the back seat to really feel the thump. Wife hates it, great selling point. She will not ride with me!

Beast

Hits harder in a ported box instead of the sealed. I've got sum decent excursion and they are not broken in all the way. This is kicker's entry level sub and is still a beast.

Nice Product

Install this on a 2010 VW Jetta n all I can say is that people turn there heads. Price is good and, any body that wants some bass this is it.

Awesome Transaction!

I received 2 of these subwoofers through a buy 1 get 1 and received them extremely promply. The value was incredible. I have wired them to 1 ohm which allows them to hit significantly hard and produce good levels of sound.

great subs

I bought the two for one deal on here and they arrived a day early. Great subs powering them with a kicker zx400.1 sounds awesome . gonna let them broke in then its gonna be sweet.

sweet subs!

These bad boys are awesome for the price. Great for anybody. They really knock. Highly recommended.

Good sub.

They alright jus needs more rms power.

c12

Good built sub and good for the price I own 2 can't beat the price I push these with a Kicker 300.1 after 6 mons still pound. I do recommend a Kicker or RF amp for these.

bang for the buck, and thats it

well i had these in my Jetta Wolfsburg. they were 50 bucks each so i thought it would be a good deal, but I highly regretted it. They do not bump or pound. It is a noticeable bass increase that you really cant hear from outside the car unless its quiet. They are not very loud and sure wont rattle the car fi thats what your hoping for. all in all it is good for adding clean bass to your system, but they are not hard hitting subs by any mean

Nice subs

These subs produce clean sweet bass. I have a Rockford Fosgate Prime 250 hooked up to two of them and it adds the perfect amount of bump in my Grand Marquis. Together the subs are 300 watts RMS and my amp puts out 272 RMS according to the birth sheet. So I'm not really pushing the subs too hard. You won't win any contests with this set up but if you want some extra bass these are a great choice. If you have the room, get this set of subs in the Kicker box! Sonic has them and I wish I went that route but that was my fault. ;-(

Dope

I got two of these wired down to 2ohms in the kicker loaded enclosure for 300$. Best money ive ever spent. For the price of these subs and a 500 watt amp, i couldnt be any happier. Literally these subs almost broke my rearview mirror.

good price....good speakers

If you want to add good sounding extra bass in your vehicle for a good price, these are the speakers to get. If you want to win competitions, get higher wattage speakers.

Nice

It's a good starter sub. My bro had 2 of them in his car with custom boxes and they hit very hard. He only had about 110 RMS going to each and they slammed good and hard. The highs and mids were excellent, but the lows weren't as good as they could have been. Maybe that was due to the sealed box they were in. But overall, they were good subs. Simplicity can be some of the best stuff. Get 2 of these and you won't be disappointed.

great deal 2 for1

i got 2 kicker comp subs and they sound great, i know people with higher wattage subs and they dont sound as good as the comp subs. they sure dont sound like entry level subs.

Awesome

Best sub for the price. I'm running 160 RMS into it in a 2.25 ft^3 ported box tuned to 33 hz. It rattles my station wagon pretty good. Definitely would recommend this if its all that's in your budget. However I've had it for about 6 months and looking to upgrade. Seems like there's a tendency to always want more. I listen to a lot of bass heavy music and it just pounds... But more is always better. Cant speak for durability much but I've been pushing it a LOT and its goin strong. This is definitely excellent for the price.

amazing bass, low power

I have one of these in the trunk of my 92 accord in a ported box i made and its paired with a 150w rms kenwood amp. When i turn it up, my mirrors are just about totally useless, just a blur. People can hear me over a 1/4 mile away (me and friends have tested this). I bought a small spl meter that maxes at 125db, and well, it gets maxed when my bass hits. I would like to find something else to see exactly just how loud this is. People always guess i have at least 2 subs with some big power, but nope. Just this one kicker 12 and a small amp. If you are looking for some serious thump on a very low budget, this is for you. You wont be dissapointed.

Cons -
Neighbors dislike me
bolts coming loose on car
broke rearview mirror

WOW!!!

Best kicker Subs I've owned. The push really really hard!!

Great Subs!!!

If you have a cheap deck, amp and wiring then these subs aren't going to sound very good as with any system. With the proper quality equipment these subs sound amazing for a low RMS unit. I have a Clarion comp deck, planet audio 1500.1 amp (at less than 1/4 power) and 8 gauge wiring kit with these subs in a sealed box and people with JL W3s and kicker L7s are asking me how i get them to hit as hard as i do. It's all about your setup. Don't put these subs on cheap crap! These are excellent subs and at a good price!

great deal

Speakers sound great. My 17 yr old loves them. He out hits everyone at his school.

great price

these are cheap and sound great

Great subwoofer

Let's just say I bought if for my girlfriend and its still kickin hahaha great speaker.

eh

I have two of these wired up. To get good bass sound you have to turn amp settings down. Yes they'll slap, or pound or whatever these people are saying, but it will be distorted if they do. If your just looking to add a bass concept to a bass-less system, go ahead its worth it. If your looking to bump, go elsewhere.

Great highs

These subs are by far the best for the price but only offer a high frequency range of responce, if paired with other subs that reach lower to contrast then these are perfect.

Amazing subs!

I bought two of these subs for my son and they hit hard. Way too loud for me I can hear his music 2 blocks away! Using a Kicker ZX 450.2 amp. The sound is amazing. Best bang for your buck!

good for the price

I have 4 of these in my blazer all at 1 ohm being powered by a lanzar 3000 watt amp an no one i know bass comes close to mine. I definately would recomened these subs to ppl who are on a budget.

12" Kicker 400w

I have had this sub for 6 mounths and it has been great! It was also a good price on this web site, it got it for cheap with 3 year warrenty and so far not one problem. It sounds great and i recomend getting it.

Great subs!!

These subs came in very fast as advertised and they pounded from the second i got them hooked up. This is a great deal for the price and EVERYTHING came as advertised. I had my whole system within 3 days.

Great Product

Just got this sub as an early christmas present and it BEATS HARD!!!!

"Speechless"

I was speechless when i said up my kicker on my car and crank up the volume the Bass sounded amazing better then the one i had before it was 12" Dual only lasted 3 weeks and didn't hit that hard.
