I appreciate the consistent quality in the kicker lineup. You maxed all of em out pretty good and the only one that gave you even light problems was the one that was clicking. Impressive! Hope to see more companies allowing you to check their subs out for us!
I have been a big fan of Kicker for a long time! They never disappoint! I could definitely use that bad ass Sub in my ride! Good luck getting to 32k subscribers! You will do that very easily! Keep up the good work Parker
Kip and the crew at kicker has in my opinion the best customer service as a manufacturer goes, they go beyond hands down and there podcast is a must watch for a new car audio individual or a person that like me that has a MECP and Basshead since the early 90's. Kicker for the win
I've been a long time watcher never really comment but you have great video quality, keep doing what you're doing you're going to blow up soon just stay with it.
First I give you credit for getting the info out to the masses. I’m now building a new system and I am working on what subs so your channel is helping. I wouldn’t mind it being the kicker
I have 2 12's kicker comp Q dual 4ohm wired to 1ohm running off an audiopipe 1800 and they pound hard!!💪🏾💪🏾Love the video bro keep the kicker line going!💪🏾
Very nice sub. I have 2 type r 12's they throw down looking forward to purchasing the Q after this review thanks bought the type r because your review on those.
Bro i have become a fan of kicker i started with a svc comp c 12 and i thought it was great i have sence moved up to a 4ohm dvc 12 comp R and it os loud af thanx for the kicker vids it gives me a goal,keep it up!!
You should test most efficient subs.. what gets you the most bass with the least amount of Watts... Something on the lower range like 300-500 rms range. These massive subs need to much power and upgrades for the average person.
That’s actually not true. Research it. For subwoofers the lower the sensitivity the easier it is to reproduce bass. And there are also written tests about it online. I had a JL audio. Got rid of it because even at the same amount of watts my sundown audio sounded louder and deeper. Also sounded more clean and rich.
Man I had the little JL Slash 250/1 and two 12" w1's in a work van... That sh!t killed..! People constantly accused me of having another amp hidden....lol In the late 80's I had a Kenwood (real Kenwood not cheap Best Buy Kenwood) amp that was only 75w per side and a pair of 8" Pyle truck boxes (Pyle also used to be a high quality brand) in a VW Bug and that sh!t rocked...! you're ears would be ringing when you got out...lol These huge wattage subs and amps are a marketing scheme to cater to big egos... and is unnecessary, people were absolutely killin" it with just 100"s of watts in the late 80's and 90's... But the companies know that people are Excellent Consumers...! LOL
@@2869may I agree with you for the most part but I don’t understand exactly. Because Kenwood at best buy is real kenwood lol, they don’t have a secret stash of “this is our shit product that we sell at Best Buy”
Just bought 2 q-class 8 L7s for my new Toyota 86. Can’t wait to build a sick box for them. They’re both heavy and should be monsters together at 2 ohms, being fed by my JL 900/5.
Amazing job in this video, I'm greatly impressed. Your only running one box which keeps your ideal cabin freq, and your explaining how your cabin reacts to just a single sub which gives other the right idea in building. Question: Have you considered lithium batteries for your SMD meter? Keep up the great work, you'll reach 50k subs no time brotha!!
I just got done hooked up my new system and I'm loving it. And now, seeing Kicker Comp Q, I'm so tempting to order and see how it goes. Err, decision, decision...
I bought on 12inch 4ohm last month wanting to get another one its just really expensive also have an kicker 1800 watt cx to run both with a slot port box this video makes me excited can't wait
Right on man!! My buddy has a hard on for Kicker. I'll be sharing this video with him. I'm still kicking the shit outta my Audiopipe BDC2s. Going strong!! Keep the awesome videos coming dude.
Way to go Parker keep it up dude don't feel like you got to rush in your videos too bro take your time we enjoy watching one thing that I would love to see you excel in more is touching on proper box specifications on subwoofers according to the TS parameters almost every single enclosure that the company lists for their subwoofers is half the size it should be according to the TS parameters and the port velocity and ratio is way off and I get that the company is trying to sell woofers and if a box is going to be too big people aren't going to buy them but I think it is crucial that people understand how much are enclosure plays into how well their woofer performs cools and how wide the frequency band is I would love to build you an enclosure I see you have one there but I'm talking about one that's specifically efficient for like a pair of woofers whether it's a set of eights or tens or twelves so you can really see the output on my own dime I don't want people to know who I am or who built it but just to see the efficiency out of the woofers you test would be awesome! Keep up the great work bud
Had the l7 qclass 12in 2ohms in a huge box in 03 celica and ot took up the whole trunk space but I was astonished with the massive bass that is gave me and air pushing like never before
I have the Q class 12's and the Comp VX 12's These subs perform excelent in the correct enclosure. If you want good correct bass go with kicker, if you are just looking to shake the hell out of your vehicle / neighborhood without reguard to sound quality, go with sundown or skar.
The American bass XR is the best for a mix of sound quality and decently loud bass IMO. I’ve been running the 10in for the past 5 years. The 12in version is coming in the mail. A buddy of mine will be running 2 XR15’s soon.
The sq will def be better with kicker than other subs in that price range. I've had a American bass and it sounded ok but not as good as the more expensive alpine r's. No doubt they get louder but they lack the r&d that companies like kicker n alpine pit into their product. Def far from knocking any sub I'm abusing skars subs rn n they're loud n handle gobbs of power but lack the sq I had with the alpine. None the less, awesome video thanks for sharing!
I just got 2 comp Q 12s dual 4 ohm wired to 1ohm on a 1600.1 mono amp, I'm very impresses with them, everyone that hears them are surprised they are kickers
hey man love your vids and always watch them! just a quick question... have you considered doing amp dynos/reviews? I would love to see that fron you, there are obviously people out there that do them like you do subs, but id rather watch you do them
Ey parker ive been following you for a short time now and i really enjoy the content maybe just a thought do a refresher of most or all your previous subs with a comparison of them brand new vs broke in my experience the pressure and sound changes after break in....
Great video Parker i love that you give so much info on your videos. I just suscribed my self and will be waiting to see more of your videos. I like kicker products as well and i had a Kicker CVR 15 in my tahoe and sound was pretty good and my kids loved it until someone broke in and stole my sub so im getting a new alarm and will be looking to buy another system soon my kids and i miss having bass
@@ParkerTheBasshead yes it sad that people cant work to buy their own systems, but they cant keep me down il come back with more bass than before and with a good alarm to prevent the same from happening
The CVX pops due to the coil hitting the back plate, that’s it’s personal way of saying chill on the bass knob dog, lol. Anyways Parker, great video keep on doing your thang boy. 👍
Great video Parker! Do you use the AMM-1 when you dial in the RMS power like you do for the musical tests? I’m just curious. It would be cool to see in one of your reviews how you dial in your gain having such a powerhouse running these lower powered subs.
Yeah it is definitely a great tool! But music is so dynamic it’s hard to really dial in the gain. But I have so much head room I almost never have to worry about clipping
I have the same model sequoia as you. Running four prv 6.5 on 800 watt trampa and two audio legion 2 inch drivers running on another 800 tramps. Now that I've upgraded my mids and hi's time to upgrade the bass what's the best sub in your opinion fo
I really appreciate all the work you put into you're videos. You've come along way. Been with u from the beginning.
Congrats on the channel! Youre always super energized about it and have something good to say about even a crummy product. Way to go!
I appreciate the consistent quality in the kicker lineup. You maxed all of em out pretty good and the only one that gave you even light problems was the one that was clicking. Impressive! Hope to see more companies allowing you to check their subs out for us!
Its awesome that you show subs to help people make choice for their systems easier
I have been a big fan of Kicker for a long time! They never disappoint! I could definitely use that bad ass Sub in my ride! Good luck getting to 32k subscribers! You will do that very easily! Keep up the good work Parker
Iv learned so much watching you channel I'm 57 years old and love what you are doing

great video! absolutely loving this kicker series. would love to see like a full wrap up and your thoughts about kicker subs as a whole!
Yes, been waiting for this review. Keep it up my guy. Your vids stand out. Quality content as always💯
Thank you man!!
I've been a long time watcher never really comment but you have great video quality, keep doing what you're doing you're going to blow up soon just stay with it.

sweet video man i can see your channel blowing super stoked about my first build huge motivation from your channel 👍🏼
Good to hear man!!
Sorry I'm late. Lol! I love the Q class from Kicker. They almost do it all. I love quality sounding bass so I'd definitely buy these Kicker Q's.
Your videos are great Parker. Got an american bass xfl because of you and love it. Now I'm considering a new sub with a lower FS rating than 37hz.
Nice. Who ever win the compq you will love it. I had two 10in not to long ago. You will have some fun. I recently upgrade to a single 15!
i've been looking for a full review of these, thanks
With the energy you have in your videos you should be at 1 million subscribers but road to 100k 💪🏽
Haha dude I really hope so one day!
I'm happy with my Comp RT's. I have 3 12's under my f250 rear seat and they perform well given the space restrictions.
I've been watching your stuff for awhile. Ive learned so much. Keep on going. I also put people on to your channel
Good to hear man!!
That Sub did good and keep up the good work can't wait to see what's next
Dude, thanks for the review, I have been looking for people who do videos on kicker subs
Bought 2 12 ab elites thanks to your videos. And wow ! They’re badass ! Thanks bro !
Great job my dude, been waiting on that Q !!!!
I like how smooth this sounds on low frequency . no motor noice . but not budget
Friendly. More higher end type. Nice video review
Love the video once again Parker keep them coming mate I watch u from the uk 🇬🇧
Love the demos brother. Keep em coming!!
I've got 2 kicker comp Q series 12's! I love my Q's, they are so loud! Great speakers!

Kinda why I like kicker they literally go less then 1000 watts rms on everything except the 15 inch L7’s or Comp Q’s yet they pound

Great video man! You should do a l7 kicker review next.

You need a sealed box to do tests in. Kicker subs really love a sealed box. Good job and keep it up

I really appreciate you!!

Great reviews subd quick love your reviews
That sub is perfect for a daily driver 😌👍
You should check out the Crossfire line of 12s. Id love to see a Crossfire in that beautiful box!
I have this sub. I really like it, it hits super low and has good SQ bass.
Nice vid congrats on 30k👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!!
Please let me have one thank you

it's the blue for me
really digging the channel
I'm curious how it would perform in the box they have the plans for in the paperwork.
Impressive sub, I like it nice build on your car to👌👌
That’s a nice sub and actually sounds pretty good
The CVX pops due to the coil hitting the back plate, that’s it’s personal way of saying chill on the bass knob dog, lol. Anyways Parker, great video keep on doing your thang boy. 👍
I’d love to see you Mitch match yours 12s in your 6 12 box and see what it sounds like
Love the vids man, are you going to do the kicker square line up? I got two kicker l7s on 3k . Would like to see a review from you 💯
we need Rockford Fosgate to send you some test
I’d be ok with that!
Get the fosgate t2 13
Would love to see the Alpine subwoofer line up go at it!
@@MrGiraffe145 yea youtube exposure is key these days
Hey are we gonna do a stress test on this? Any guess on how many watts rms they can handle for a song or two? Great vids brother!!
I got 2 12 comp q had them a year and they pound bro great sub
good content love it am from Jamaica
I would do both depending on what type of build I'm going for.

Does that nice box have threaded inserts Parker? If not, may be worth it to save the meat around the cutout.
