Kicker CWR84 (48CWR84)

Great Sub

I would recommend this product to anyone looking for some good clean and loud bass out of a small sub. I currently have this hooked up in my room with a boss 1100 amp, it's running about 375w @ 2 ohms. I'm using an old computer power supply to run it on 12v. The bass is very clean yet powerful. I'm using a .77 cu/ft ported box which is a little bit small but all I have for now. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't hit incredibly low but you can't expect that from an 8 inch sub. Overall great product and would recommend.

Big bang for the buck

Couldn't beat the price. Bought this as a replacement for my Alpine that I kept blowing. Happy with it so far.

awesome

Pounds like a ten and is way fast at hitting notes

for the $ awesome little pounder

great bass comin from an eight. good bass without taking space if you want some really loud eights though get a jl 8 w7 or maybe a dd 8 inch sub.

Solid Bass

Replaced a stock 8" in my suburban. Had to make some mods for it to fit and add some polyfill in and behind the box, but it was worth it. Driving it with an Alpine PDR-V75 and set to 2 ohm. The impedance switch simplifies the setup. Getting thundering bass in the family ride. Now my 14-year-old asks if we can go for a drive and listen to music!

okay

This little thing has some power to it! You will not disappointed for the price.

Kicker Comp VR's are one of my favorites.

I was an MECP certified installer for 5 years, and have installed hundreds of subwoofer systems on all budgets and of all sizes. I have a handful of favorite products based on my experiences with them and how they sound in different vehicles. I also got to see how much people were spending on their audio systems. I saw people spend tons of cash and wind up with something that sounds like crap, and I've put together low budget setups that sound great. After all this, I chose 3 Kicker Comp VR 8" subwoofers for my regular cab pickup truck. Their prices are good, the rubber surrounds last a long time unlike the foam ones that usually only last a couple years. They sound great when installed in a properly designed enclosure AND GIVEN THE FULL AMOUNT OF POWER they are designed for. A sure way to waste money on subwoofers is to under-power them.

Bottom line, one of the best choices for the money and after seeing just about everything, I choose them for my own car. I am not in any way affiliated with Kicker or Stillwater Designs. I do not recieve any compensation for my comments.

great sound

i just got one of these in my standard cab P/U i made a custom sealed box i only have it runiing off 150 watt alpine two channel and it hits the highs and lows very well for such a small sub and i plan on putting a bigger and on more sub in. amp an and ive heard some really really loud sytems before...i like it. greatly recommended

Great sub for a budget SQL build!

I returned the NVX VSW82V2 as they did not play nice with my sealed enclosure. Net .60 dual sealed chambers. I pulled the trigger on the Comp R subs. Wow! Great punch and smooth roll off which is what I was looking for. My music style ranges from 80's new wave, post punk, goth, Jazz, modern Blues. Yes I am an old fart. I paired them up with a Kicker CXA 400.1 running at 1 ohm. I will end up adding two radiators to the cabinet in a week or so. I recommend them!

Best 8" around

I just sold my 2 10" vegas in a heavy ported box (too heavy for my car) and borowed this from a future project. This sub sounds great in a bazooka tube but lacked those low notes till i switched my Alpine deck for a JVC. BIG difference! Hits like lows and sounds better than most 10's in this price range. Im runing a Alphasonic 1800 and this thing can take the beating!!! People can't believe I'm runing a 8. It does not distort when I crank it up and it handles much more than there rated at. I'm really impressed with this sub and now thinking Kicker for my next sub.
Ive been an audio fan since 86 and seen, heard owned many brands but after reading reviews and listening for myself what this 8" sub can do I cant wait to step up to a Kicker 12. This is truly the best 8" sub around!!!
