- Key Specs
- RMS Power: 350 watts (The maximum amount of continuous power the device is able to handle.)
- Peak Power Handling: 1000 watts (The maximum amount of power an electronic device, like a speaker, can handle without damage. This refers to short bursts of power, while root mean square (RMS) power handling indicates the amount of continuous power a device can sustain. Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)
- Impedance: 4 ohms (Describes the resistance of an electric signal throughout the system. Devices with low impedance require less power to deliver optimal signals but are more at risk for damage from overloading. Higher impedance requires more power but is more protected from overload damage.)
- Minimum Frequency Response: 30 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
- Maximum Frequency Response: 200 kilohertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones.

The CompR 8” Subwoofer is a 4-Ohm dual voice coil design, making it easy to get the most out of your amp. Our signature red double stitching makes an outstanding bond between the improved Santoprene surround and polypropylene woofer cone. Revolutionary SoloKon technology joins the cone to the vented back brace, creating a single integrated until that both cools the motor and eliminates distortion. To make our subs even more reliable KICKER engineers developed Forced Air Cooling to help our subs run 25% cooler than before.
The Maxxlink MBXP-112 ported subwoofer enclosure is designed for most 12 inch subwoofers (not included) and features a durable MDF construction and finished with UV treated black carpet.
