48CWR84 CompR 8" Subwoofer, DVC, 4-ohm

This isn’t a ‘windy’ sub, and it won’t take a 3k amp, but that’s not what it’s built for. It’s a balance of sound quality and efficiency, still getting reasonably loud. I have one on a recoil red 600, and I still turn it down in my neighborhood as to not ‘advertise’ having audio equipment where I live, so it definitely makes noise. I did extensive testing and settled on a .75ft3 box tuned to 36hz, and in my Outback it plays +-2 dB from 31-110hz.

Really a great subwoofer. Kicker's always get a bad rap, but I have used several Comp-R kickers over the years and they are truly a great sub. Not the most powerful, or the loudest, or the best sound quality, but for the price, they are really hard to beat. The sub FEELS high quality when you take it out of the box, and it looks it too. I installed this subwoofer in a free-air application in the rear deck of my Honda Civic. Running it at 8 Ohms with around 75 watts and it sounds CLEAN. Deep lows, and enough punch to let you know it's there. I replaced a 10 inch JL in a ported box - of course this is not as loud, but I regained all of my trunk space and it still sounds really great! In a small sealed or ported box, this sub probably slams - if it pounds hard in a free-air application, I know it must sound great in a box!

Great bass from a small sub. I didn’t want overpowering bass and this sounds really nice in a sealed box. I don’t think there’s a better sub for the money.

I have replaced all my speakers in my Bronco. Alpines everywhere except the sub and front kick panels. Kick panels now have Memphis MJP6. The Sub is this Kicker 8”. I removed the panel around the speaker. Took out the OEM. I did have to modify the Kicker by trimming the outer edge of the speaker. If you take your time it is simple to do and then this fits perfectly in the same area. I connected the wires and reinstalled the panel. Make sure you add some poly-fill behind it. It really made a difference. I must say this last speaker upgrade really made the difference. I did not replace any electronics…the B&O amp is still there. I think the whole system sounds great for an OEM amp and head unit. If you want to upgrade your sub, then this is an inexpensive option.

Speaker is good, nice bass production. Only drawback is sound cracks at high volumes.

Very impressed with the sound quality and volume of these little subs. I would recommend these to anyone looking for an 8 inch sub

I recently received my Kicker speaker, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! The delivery was impressively quick—no waiting around at all. Upon unboxing, I found the installation instructions to be incredibly straightforward. Within no time, I had the speaker set up and was enjoying my favorite music. The sound quality is fantastic, making this a great addition to my audio setup. Overall, a seamless experience from start to finish!

Works great good xursion will hit the low notes in the right box
