Great Sub

For the money you cant beat these subs. I bought two of them and they are in the trunk of my '13 accord sedan and sound amazing!! Don't hesitate. If you want to get down to 1 ohm then buy the 4ohm and select the 2 ohm impedence then you can get it down to 1 ohm at the amp.

Lows, lows, lows

I just received this sub with the free groundshaker box, and all i can say is wow. It can play lows really good and like i said i just got it, not even broken in. It hits lower and harder then my two 12 inch Kenwood excelons in a ported box. This thing slams

Great price!

Great product, great price and fast shipping! Would recommend to anyone!

This sub KICKS!!!

I just installed 1 of these in my '03 cavalier with a ZX400.1 amp today. I am very pleased with the bass with only 1 sub. It rattles the car more than i like but very pleased. I have it in an undersized box vented 1 cubic foot when it recommends 1.25. I would like to buy another but would have to upgrade my amp. If you are low on funds but want great bass with a proven winner this is what you are looking for. Under $300 after installed for everything! With Sonics tech support install is easy!

Great price and Amazing product

I previously had a sub that couldn't hold up to my system and blew it in a week. I called Sonic and they help me get the right sub for my amp. I've played this thing hard on an 8 hour road trip and have had no issues. I plan on buying another one to run 2 10's.

Pretty good..

The CVR is rated 400 RMS. I had it on a 1000 watt Kenwood amp bridged for the first three or four months I had it. Now I have it one a Kicker 400.1 amp, and it sounds really good for a 10. Just make sure and get your box built right for it. Sub is about 40% of your sound the other 60% is your box

**AMAZING**

Got 2 of these powered by a crunch amp in my Jeep Commander.
First subs were 2 12" Sony Xplod
2nd- 2 Hifonics Brutus Square 12"
and then 2 of these bad boys. greatest yet. even for 10", had them in sealed box.
get a good size box and good powering amp. and you're ready to rumble.

Kicker CVR104

I bought this subwoofer to use will my kicker zx400.1 amp. I have it in a .75 cubic foot box with poly fill and it sounds great! Very crisp notes and a very flat frequency response. I absolutely love it. One of the best subs I have owned.
No cons

Bangs hard for just a 10.

I have this one 10 Kicker hooked up to a Boss Mono 1000 watt amp in a ported box and it hits hard. Worked straight out the box and didn't take long for it to break in. It hits the lows and mids fine and no distortion since I've installed it. Definitely recommend this sub for ones needing a kick to their music.

10" Kicker CVR104

I would recommend these subwoofers. They sound great, have nice mids and great lows. I have 1 in my regular cab truck in a shallow mount box with only .95 cubic feet of air space and it thumps harder then my 12" JL behind the other seat. Overall great subs. Highly recommend reading the wiring diagrams and wiring it to all 4 ohms or you will probably blow it like I did once already.

great sound cuality and true 400 rms

Kicker its being on the manue for ever since it has always probe its one of the best... well I was looking for a good sub that would'nt take much space and that will go strong on bass and after reviwing almost all subs in here I chose this CVR cause I never had bad experiences with kickers... and there it goes sound grate and loud and clear and it doesn't takes much to power them and still sound good... well I build a custom box and I got me a second sub and a hifonics Brutus since I went with 2 4homs dual voice coils CVR and the hifonics at 1 hom and wow! Its the perfect set up and good on budget... I wish I had mor space on my Chevy pick up extended cab to build a bigger vented box for them but with the minimum aspect seal box its sounds amassing... I would recommend this sub any time to any one.... the only down side I see on them its that takes a litle time to brake them in but nothing to worry about... I would recommend this kicker more than some JL's in the same category because this kickers sound better just as clear, louder and they are way sheeper... and it takes some good sh#%& to down side JL!!! Totally satisfied with this kicker CVR 10"

boom boom pow

I switchted from three 10" JLs to one of these but it was the square series but none the less same sub and it hit hard and clean. I do recommend them to everyone who wants tight bass at an affordable price. You wont be dissapionted pros they look cool and are very reliable and durable subs had mine at 50rms more at two ohm and all my friends couldnt belive i just had one and behind the seats it sounded that good. Ported is the only way to go. Go ported or go home. Pros they look cool and are very reliable and durable subs.

Great sub!

I have an 02 F150 and my box fits underneath the back seat. Finding a sub that was shallow enough to fit in there, but sounded good and hit hard was a challenge but this sub is it. This things sounds amazing and its only been used for 2 days getting about 150W RMS in a ported box. I can't wait to turn the amp up and break this thing in!

Great Subs

These subs are great. I got a good deal on them and they hit hard. I put them underneath the backseat of my 08' Dodge Ram Quad and I couldn't be more happy with them. They go hard in the paint. Best subs for the price. Hit like 12's.

My second set of new subs!!!

Back in 1997 i bough 2 10" kicker impulse subs in a sealed box. Since then i have had all the brands but have always been willing to buy kicker new. I just replaced 2 db drive dvcs with these. Laugh if you want but i have a kicker impulse ix402 pushing these subs and they hit pretty hard with partial gain. By the way the amp is my first kicker amp from 1997 also and is so underrated it is ridiculous!!!!

Love these

I used to only have one of these in a ported box and it jammed I had it running off of a boss choas 1100 watt amp. Now I have two of these in a sealed 1.0 each chamber box and it sounds amazing. People hear me coming down the street. Mine sounds better than my friends twelves I love these and would recommend these to anyone. Way better than I expected.

Best Set of 10's I ever owned

Best Set of 10's I ever owned. Hit really hard. Recommend Kicker 400 or 1000 mono or Class D.

Nice...

My bro used to own just one of these in a ported enclosure, and it definately didnt sound like just one 10! I have to say, I'm not a big fan of kicker products because of the SQ performance, but these subs will slam in a proper enclosure and with the correct power. Good buy, especially from Sonic!

Nice Sub!

I bought these in the buy one get one set. 1 for me and 1 for a friend. I have it fed buy my Clarion HU through a Power Acoustik CPT1-1500. The amp is a little over powered for the sub but I bought that in case i wanted to upgrade the sub. It is a great sounding sub that hits hard and is really clear. My friend has his going through an Alpine amp and his shakes our warehouse at third volume. It's a great sub and I would recommend it plus it's a great deal with the BOGO if they still have it.

NICE!!

I just changed out my old Pioneer Premier Champion Series 10" woofer for this Kicker...what a huge difference! Tighter, harder hitting bass! I am still running it off of a Pioneer GM-7300M mono amp and plan on changing that out later.

the sickest subs i have owned besides a hcca

Had 2 of theese in a regular cab f150 in a custom ported box and they slammed !was louder then my current system of 2 orion xtr pro 15s both systems have used the same amp 1500.1 xtr orion amp the 10s sound quality and loudness destoryed the 15s in comparison

bang.

these things bang hard. they are one good spl 10

Great

It's worth it buy this sub it sounds the best.

KICKER 07CVR104

Kicker is always putting out great products.
This sub performs well in 'medium-sized' sealed enclosures. Haven't had any problems.

OK Sub

It sounds great. but the wires in the sub break off. this happened to mine twice and you either have to solder them or send it back in for warranty both a pain.

Briefly used, then returned

I preferred my JBL GTO sound to this woofer, but I much preferred my DD loaded 8" enclosure instead, so I returned this woofer.

Works Great

Great power, response, sound quality and price... Bought one for a truck cab, sounds great.

Sounds Great

Overall great value, I tried to go with another brand sub but after being unsatisfied, I came back to Kicker CVR subs. I put one of these in my single cab ranger and it pounds.

Ok Sub

There ok starting off. If you dont want to pay a lot and want a little bass but make sure got right amp and box.

Pretty good subs!

I would recommend this product for anyone who is looking for about a 7 out of 10 loudness scale. I hooked these subs in a jeep wrangler soft top and they pound pretty hard. They are in a custom sealed box. I have them running on a hitron pro series 1200.2 amplifier. They are great for rock music because they really hit those double bass notes and it sounds like a helicopter coming at me!!

Nice sub..........

Match this up with the 10" premade long rear slot enclosure and be happy. I couldn't be more impressed with this bargain set up.

Excellent subs!!!

I installed two of these into a custom box that uses the dip in the rear of a Camaro or Firebird for airspace. Hooked to a 600w Rockford Fosgate amp, these things slam. They have zero distortion, even at very loud volume. I highly recommend these subs.

Right product for the right price!!

Great product for the price! Hits harder then I expected for the price! I would recommend this item to any that is looking for a great bass sound that is mid level not too low and not too high!

Reliable

Bought from a friend 5 years ago. Premounted in a slim ported box. Behind seats in a single cab ranger. Connected to a RF 600 watt amp. Great for small vehicles and being on a budget. Probably won't win any contests but perfect for everyday use. No complaints.

Awsome subs

Great subs, they knock hard. I'm slapping them with a hitron amp. I have people asking if i'm slapping 12's but they're 10's. That should tell you everything. They work awsome for being 10's no problems.

good speakers

The speakers are great they sound good in my truck. The price I paid was a steel.

BOOM!

I had these for a good while before they were stolen out of my 96' Integra...and while I had them, they would thump! I had them @ 400 watts RMS each and in a 2 cubic foot sealed box. Pioneer DEH 7700 head unit. This was LOUD and sounded AWESOME in my Integra! It would show lots of body flex in the doors of the car and could shake windows at the gas station. That is just the show-off portion of these! These also have a very clean, flat response curve and sound beautiful with any music type. (REMEMBER:This was in a sealed box)
Overall, these are fantastic and sound great. I highly recommend them and I really wish mine weren't stolen! I hate thieves!

Kicker Rocks

i made the mistake of letting a set of these go and now i am kicking myself every day just about the best set of 10's i have ever owned hands down

Great sub

I friend bought one of these and put it in his truck and I installed it. We used a small sealed box with a pioneer 600w amp powering it. Overall it sounded great though because of the placement the acoustics were horrible and it wasn't all that loud. The sub just recently was broken due to a hard jolt from a pothole. When turned up it, it knocks.

Best 10

I got a set of these subs for Christmas one year from a friend and had one of the loudest 10" systems around for a long time....they hit hard and low, and they are well worth the money! Plus they last FOREVER!

Bulletproof

Ive had these for about a year and have put WAY more abuse than I should have. These subs are the most durable speakers Ive ever seen. Ive had Alpine, R-F, and Pyramid...they all quit after a few months of running on a Sony 250rms mono amp. I got tired of replacing subs and trying to keep my amp cool so I bought a pair of these ( DVC-4ohm each) and wired them to 4ohm at the KX600.1 amp (internal bridge so 2ohm). Ive been hiting X-max since day-1 and the subs sound great. Awsome buy

Surprised me

Great sounding speaker, very loud and has a good thump.

great

I bought for my boyfriend for his truck got two and they nice and came on time and sound good he loves them even had them hooked up Christmas night after he opened them.

Awesome deal

these subs have great bass to them. if you match the rms of the subs with the amp, you will get all the bass and more that you could expect from 2 10's. All of my friends know when I'm around because the bass is that good.

Kickers always Kicka$$

Owned these for about 2 years now and they are still "Kicking" 10" is great enough to make your car BOOM, go larger it'll be 2x BOOMER! I like how these have Rubber modlings = last longer/hits harder, I had other foam moldings and overtime they crack.

I bought two

I bought two of the CVR 10 inch and I regret it. They are great subs for a 10 inch, don't get me wrong but their is NO way to make a ten hit like a 12 inch will. The speakers are great sounding and will takes some watts, I have a 1600D hifonics wired to 1ohm on them and they take it all day long, ran them for four months now. The problem is I want a Sub you can feel and the 10 inch can't do it. I am going to buy this same speaker in the 12 inch model.

good sub

Hits all the low notes. With a frequency rating of 20 hz, it gets low and the ideal sub for r & b. In the 07 model the speaker lead wires were poorly made and break off which is a pain in the ass. Kicker fixed that probelm in 08 with running the leads through the spider which is a good up grade. They are very loud and clear. Will reccomend these subs. Would have given a 4 but since they fixed the speaker lead problem; 5 all the way.

this sub hits really hard...i had it hooked up to a boss riot gt 850w amp and it was enough to shake a lot of stuff loose in my car. all together a great sub and the price isnt horrible.

Lovin it!

I have 2 of these in a ported box, with 2 kicker amps pushing 250 watts rms into each. these subs hit hard, and the sound is clear. I have these in my explorer and I havent heard anything compare to it for the price.

comp vr

I put one of these subs in a nissan titan and it rocked. I am very impressed.

the best brand

this sub can take more abuse than anyb brand, awsome sound quality, i love installing these

Goody Buy

Great Value, Great sound, definitely recommend. With dual voice coils you can wire to the ohms you want to run on amp.

Great subs... great price.

Great for all types of music. I got 2 of these a few days ago with a Kenwood 1000 watt max amp running 250 rms x2 channels at 2 ohms. Amp is turned less than half way. I put them to sonic enclosures with .77 air space each. Mounted them where my center console used to be. And they hit pretty hard even breaking them in. Finally pushed them today and every double bass pedal hit hits for metal. I have no complaints for rap they hit hard n sound great. But i am more of a rock person and there perfect for me. Great quality subs i am sure they'll last awhile.

Kicker Review

Well I was recommended this product because they were out of the Alpine 10" speakers. The kicker is awesome if you ohm it out. If not, it doesn't sound as good. But over all, it is an awesome speaker for a 10".

decent sub

It is definitely a nice sub for the price. I am using an eclipse xa1200 pushing around 400 watts to the sub. I then built a sealed box and made it 1.5 cubic feet but it just didn't hit a lot of notes. I then ported the same box with a 2" port and it sounds GREAT!! hits all the right notes. I would recommend this sub to anybody. The problem I have now is that I have always had 12's and I think I might upgrade.

Bought 1...

And for the price, it can't be beat. I have it hooked up to an Eclipse XA2000 and it is awesome. I might step up to a 12" as some people say it's a better sub, but I am very content. It has great response in Rock, and deep lows in Rap. I also love the terminals.

Great value

My friend has these subs and I couldn't believe how hard they hit; Now I'm going to buy them!

Chris Yount

WOW I push these subs with a Boss GT 780 and there hooked up in a standard cab Toyota Tacoma how many other pounding subs with a magnet like that will fit in such a tight place this subs defiantly rattle your ears and you cant beat the price

Great 10's

I just got two of these subs and i put them in my jeep. They are ina ported box hooked up to a KX 350.1 amp which isnt that powerful and they hit hard! All of my mirrors and windows shake and my review mirror even fell off the second day I had these. They are the first subs ive owned and i am very pleased! These subs also hit very clean.

If anything like last years...a great buy

I have the 03/04 model (whatever one was out before this one). Thats sub can put up with so much stuff. No problems and ive ridden it hard for about a year. If this sub is anything like it's predecessor, its a great buy.

Great subs.....

I had a set of these speakers in my truck for over 10 years without any problems. I finally had one go out and when it did I bought another set. These speakers are excellent for the price and I recomend them to everyone.

Great Speaker

These are some good speaker. i have 2 hook up to 900 rms amp. it takes it like a champ. you can hear me coming.

Tough Sub

I like this sub. Its very loud if you have 2 of them hooked up but i used to roll around the block with just one and i turned heads. That was only with 200 rms to it too. It has lasted me over 2 years and i finally just gave it to a friend. It definitely went through the cold winters just fine. Excellent sub at a great price too.

Kicker 07CVR104

I have one of these in a bandpass box it shakes my whole explorer with a kicker 400w amp it makes my roof flex this sub is great for a 10

Best 10's i've ever had

I use a 800 watt crunch amp on full power and they hit better than some 12's I've heard. so if you want great 10's for not much money get these.

Kicker CVR 12inch sub

I bought 2 of these in a Kicker box and it was the hardest I have heard 10's hit. I ran them with a Fosgate Power 1000 and they took every bit of it. I beat these subs and never had a problem. They are clean and durable. Kicker rocks!!!

Amazing Subs

I bought 2 kicker CVRs about 6 months ago. I have 20 separate amp running to each sub and these sound amazing. I have the kicker M500s running to each sub. These subs hit very hard and I am very satisfied.

the best ten you will ever hear

I here everyone talking about a 10" won't hitas hard as a 12 and a 12 won't hit hard as a 15 and so on. WRONG, I have 4 of these in a custom ported fiberglass box and two 750.1 kicker mono amps , and I went two state and got in 2nd place in comp. and I was blowing away people that had two 18s but its all about your set up and your box anyway the guy that got 1st in 2009 had 3 15 kicker solo baric L7 and a 20,000 watt kicker amp so it took a person with a 20,000 watt amp to beat me, same name brand tho anyway I hope this helps you decide what you want.

I recently bought one of the 05 models and some how i got this one. Its awesome! I love the thing, its plenty loud for anyone and can handle is power. Its a bit power hungry though.

Arthur - Tyler tx.

I have a pair of these in my 03 F150 ext cab. and they hit very hard and clean on a 500w amp. I'm in the process of getting a bigger amp, which I'm sure will make them sound that much better.

The CompVR

I own two of these in an 05 tacoma double cab and i fit these little babies behind they seat and they sound awesome! I have a diamond 400 on them and they really hit hard for having as little power and airspace as they do. Very awesome subs if this is all you can fit.

"Kicker type" bass

This subwoofer, along with other Kicker subs, produces loud and deep bass. It does not however produce quality bass. If you're not an audiophile you likely won't know the difference. If you're used to listening to w6's with c5's and then install this, you'll notice the difference.

I think these subs are great for starter systems on a budget. They produce deep/low/loud bass that shake windows, knock pictures off the wall, annoy the neighbors, etc. For most folks, the quality will be sufficient.

Perfect

Excellent sound and power. Got the new upgrade, and now it's perfect.

Kicker VCR 10"

This sub is great! Sounds good for a 10" cheaper sub and also packs a punch! I would consider getting two if you are the type of person to turn it up a lot. Sub is good at lower volumes alone but once you turn it up enough it starts to distort by itself. Overall great sub for the price! Thinking about getting two 12" of these!

Decent 10

I have two of these in a sealed box. They hit pretty hard for just two 10s. I had them hooked to a Kicker KX400.1 at first and they shook my little hatchback. Then I hooked them to an 800watt RMS amp, but there wasn't much of a difference. Really good subs if your looking for really hard hitting bass, but it's nothing worth showing off.

Awesome subs

Bought these years ago but never reviewed them. They have absolutely held up great and still continue to pound. Ran them at 600rms each due to a box that was too small and they took it like a champ.
