- RMS Power: 500 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.)

Q: What is the frequency response for this subwoofer?
A: This subwoofer has a frequency response of 25Hz - 500Hz.
Q: Why are the KICKER Comp R subwoofers legendary?
A: The KICKER Comp R subwoofers are legendary for their performance and reliability.
Q: What is the benefit of the Forced-Air Cooling feature?
A: The Forced-Air Cooling feature makes this subwoofer 25% cooler than previous versions, increasing reliability.
Q: What size wire can the subwoofer terminals accept?
A: The satin-nickel terminals on this subwoofer can accept up to 12 AWG wire.
Q: What is the impedance of this subwoofer?
A: This subwoofer has a 2 ohm impedance.
Q: I got a skar rp 1500 watt monoblock amp. Would it be good for 2 of these subs?
A: The Skar RP-1500.1D amplifier is rated to produce 1500 watts @ 1-ohm impedance, 930 watts @ 2-ohms impedance. If you were to wire each of the 12" CompR DVC 2-ohm subwoofers coils in series each subwoofer would be a 4-ohm impedance. Then parallel wire those two subwoofers to the amplifier, the amplifier would see a 2-ohm load and develop the 930 watts rated power. That would be 465 watts RMS to each subwoofer. The subwoofer is rated 500 watts RMS, so you are within specifications. As always, set your gains properly and do not clip your amplifier. Enjoy!
Q: Proper way to wire this speaker 1 ohm
A: There are two sets of speaker hook ups. Get a section of speaker wire about six inches long. Make sure both the pair and negative ends of both ends of the wire are showing about one inch of bare wire. Then you simply connect the positive and negative on one side. Then stretch the wire over to the other side and do the same. Connect in parallel. Positive to positive. Negative to negative. Then you take the incoming speaker wire from your amp and connect it to either side of the speaker. Positive to positive. Etc. Now you have a one ohm load of it's a two ohm speaker. It would be two ohms if it were a four ohm speaker.

Excellent service along with great quality sub!
Purchased this subwoofer 3 weeks ago for a daily driver (work commute). I have it paired with a Alpine r-a75m. It’s sending 750 watts rms and the subwoofer is taking it like it’s nothing. After the break-in period I set my amplifier accordingly and absolutely no distortion whatsoever loud, clear bass. I have it in a SPL 1.5 cu ft ported box tuned at 38 hz. I was surely surprised when one was loud enough that I didn’t want another. I can definitely recommend this subwoofer to anyone. Allow this subwoofer to break-in and send it some clean solid power. You won’t be sorry.

Great all around sub
Got this speaker to fill a hole cause i blew 1 of the others. Made a great addition with my other 2 subs of a different brand.. I think it may even play a little bit lower then the ones i have. Cant really take much more than the rated RMS but overall 3 subs 500rms a piece on a 2000.1 true mono block. Its nice.. Could prolli stand to be $20/$30 cheaper especially from bestbuy considering when you add the geek squad warranty it pushed the price to almost $200 for a speaker most brands would charge $100 for.. Just my person opinion.. Definitely an entry level sub.... @Bestbuy yall gonna get the SOLO X 12??? Leta get in the lanes!! #TEAMSPL #CCB #BASSHEAD
