![Kickin' it Slim Style? KICKER 12" Down Firing Subwoofer TRPT122 [4K]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/UxkjOYY203E/mqdefault.jpg)
Glad you made the clarifications about who this is for. Feel like a lot of the basshead community doesn’t realize that not everyone wants to beat the block down. Some just want a simple upgrade like this and that’s perfectly fine too! Bass is bass!
Seriously tho. They will say kickers suck because they cant handle power and then recommend some 2000 watt sub when they are not remotely comparable. Not everyone wants to go all out with 1000s of watts and have to upgrade the alternator, wiring, etc
If you're going for 2 subs you might as well have your system bump. Why use up all that trunk space for a basic setup. You're already going big.
@@kevinmontoya7318 I just go downtown and pay 50% off on wholesale
@@DanielGuzman83 see, then that's worth it.
@@kevinmontoya7318 something like that though, it’s been like 15 years. I bought a 10” Kicker for like half of what best buy was selling it for. My cousin use to work at Best Buy and got crazy discounts on home and Car audio. I remember he got me $100 cables for $5. Some discounts ranged from 5% to 95% off. If you know somebody at best buy, would be worth a shot.
Kickers are the Toyota Camry of subwoofers, they get the job done and they last for ever.
Yep but you get USA quality design and engineering and an American in Oklahoma who answers the phone when you call. Most of all they have a high moral fiber.
Thats a good analogy, funny 😄 but good
Bs they don't hit hard and cant handle much power
@@nickolasvaughn667 your not supposed to over power them or any speaker actually. Kickers are good speakers, they always have been
And if you get the comp q or L7 with a kicker kxa2400.1 it's much more like a Lexus. Last forever and keeps the competition always scratching there heads....lol
140+ out of 2 10's in a prefab is pretty impressive to me. I used to love my 12' comps back in the day on a 1200W Fosgate. Old-school
@@CajunReaper95 I was about to say that this enclosures made by manufacturers are spec to get the best out of the drivers
It's not a prefab. The enclosure is specific for those subwoofers made by the manufacturer. Either way 140 plus decibels is awesome considering back in the day 150 decibels was the goal range with multiple subs.
If it's like the single sub unit, they dimension it for middle of the road. 1.75-2.25 recommended cf for each sub, and that one sat right over 2.
I so glad that the videos we all enjoy watching are being seen by Sponsors!!!!! GOOD JOB PARKER 👏
Love your positivity and ability to explain things in an understandable manner yet still provide good technical info. You really helped me in my decision. Cheers and keep the videos coming!
Damn bro getting stuff sent from kicker! I love the honesty about who this is for. This is way better then going to your local store and them throwing some 10s in a random box. I currently have some 18 year old kicker comps that still work great.
I am a big fan of the CompR.
Its so funny how obsessed people are with fanboy brand loving and fanboy brand hate its hilarious they dont understand that in the correct box most subs will sound good And another thing is people think they need 10,000watts to get loud lol The average guy doesn't need more than 500 watts to have a decent system And if you can't get loud with a CLEAN 1000watts then your doing something wrong 🤦🏽♂️
I've been putting subs in my rides for over 20years now.im running x12's now, I've had everything in between. I would recommend and personally use that kicker setup in a daily ride any time. Great video great stuff 👍
Keep up the awesome content Parker! Loving the reviews. Gotta love the Kicker Prefab enclosures, they def. Put in a lot of research and development in their products. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great setup ready to go without having to do any fabrication.
2 kicker 10s is how i was introduced to bass as a kid. Love them!
Love the video. I ran 2 comp 10s back in 94 in a sealed enclosure and it was good. I remember they were rated to 25 hertz back then. Keep on bassin
Everything I’ve had that was kicker has been absolutely excellent. The quality and consistency is always there. They were the first sub brand I ever had in high school and they were great. I’ve tried many brands and enjoyed them. I always find myself going back to kicker products because there’s just something about them that I really enjoy. I got a 15” solobaric L7 a few years ago and it’s still working great. When I was younger it was my dream sub. I custom built a box in my 05 grand am and did a big custom amp rack where the rear seat used to be. I put all my skill into it and my knowledge I learned over the years and holy smokes it’s stupid loud and all my speakers in my custom door panels I built are kicker ks series and it’s just so loud and clear. With the box and overall setup I built, it sounds good on about anything. It gets really low my tuning was supposed to be 30hz but I added more layers to the baffle for a final tuning of 29hz. It’s the dumbest single sub setup I’ve ever heard. When people hear it they think I’ve got multiple subs but I just built the box well. 5.89cuft after displacement from bracing and sub itself tuned to 29hz. No back seat just custom built system.
Video of thr build?
People that don't know will hate on a good brand. Like I see some are doing here.
Bro that was awesome ! I hope those were some solo l7 in that box! This is a huge help for people who are first starting or getting back in the bass game, especially the old heads who grew up with kicker Rockford cerwin vega etc and want to compare new and old brands ! I def gotta get in on that ct sounds giveaway, that would be insane in my new car ! Keep up the rad videos man, also can’t wait to see some cheap subs go up in flames 🔥
Over 140 dB in a large cabin, with a 2x10" prefab is an incredible score. Not bad at all for the price
New to the bass scene, I'm running dual 12 CompRs loaded on an Excelon 5ch amp with 4 Excelon 6x9s. I wanted something loud enough to drown out anyone else's music but not be heard from a half-mile away. I'll jam anything from hip-hop and screw to country and rock. Everyday I turn my car on, I'm attending a personal concert. Best money I've spent for a personal birthday gift.
man honestly i dont understand how you only have 44k subs. great content and reviews here brother. thanks for the sweet vids!!!
My brother had 2 of these but they were 15s and it impressed me with how clean and loud it was. Custom box though not no prefab.
Also I think doing a single 15 test would be better than a single 12 in that big cabin and most of everyone can fit a single 15 in the vehicle.
I've had 2 kicker comp s 12 inch for 6 years now, being beat and abused heavily. Just upgraded from a kicker 300 watt amp to a sundown 600 watt. Set the kicker amp on top of my box and forgot. Cranked it up, and the kicker amp decided to give me one last present lol. The bass knocked the amp off the top of the box and broke a small hole in the cone. Pissed off, I cranked the system up and started smelling burning rubber. Immediately turned everything off, and went to check my subs. Luckily didn't ruin them, but clipped them badly. Let them relax for a bit, turned the gain down a small bit and let them ride out. Still going strong, and thinking it's about time to retire them for a new set to really push the amp now. Been such a great set of subs and sad to retire them, but they have done their job and impressed me beyond belief lol
Kicker is awesome, definitely my favorite brand. Great content bro!
Great video Parker! Always giving good info!
Nice review. Bought my single 10” CompR from your Kicker subs video series Serving me very well.
Nice I been running 2 -12" Kicker CVR'S In one of my setups on a Kicker ZX 750.1 and birth certificate said rated power was 932watts for 12 years and they still doing what they do. Also have 2 Comp Q 12's in another setup in a single cab F-150 on my channel 👍🏾👍🏾💥💥
I just want to say thank you, Kip over at kicker for doing this for Parker. 🔊🔊❤️
Kicker For Life 😎
Yep you’re right kickers do go forever my first set up was 2 10” comps in the prefab that I got in 2006 and they still going strong to this day. I have since then upgraded to 2 12” comp R’s But I still use the 2 10”s in my second vehicle until I can get another pear of 12 Comp R or even a quad Box from kicker.
The black comps bro? I still have my 03 04 kicker comp vr 12 the completely black one and still have my 05 06 tan kicker cvr they are still kickin lol
I used to bump 2 10 in ccx. Bumped them for 5 years everyday sold.them for all most as much as I paid. Got the new 12 comp r got 3 of them in a loaded box in my house. Little disappointed in the performance. I've actually gone to skar audio and so far they kill it. Just ordered 4500 watt mobo amp that I get to open on xmas cant wait
Love these test video's Parker we need more SPL kick testing for future video's.🚘🔊🎶
They are really nice boxes. I dig the rounded over edges.
Your killing it bro keep up the great work you and several other youtube bassheads are the reason I started my channel 👍🏽 thanks for the motivation 💪🏾💪🏾
Those would make some decent midbass door speakers crossover between 40hz-300hz
About 20 years ago I had two of the OG Kicker Comp 10's (the ones from the '90's with paper cones) in a large sealed box in the back of an Integra and man that system was loud and clean... probably not that loud by today's standards but as far as actually hearing every detail of the bass in a song loud and clear those subs were awesome. Didn't need a ton of power either, I ran a few different amps on them but they did best on only like 300 watts.
In 80's and 90's Kicker never made paper cone's back then either. Just the dust cap's
Brings back great memories
I got my wife a loaded kicker box with a single CompC 12 at 2ohm being pushed by a kicker DXA250.1, its a very small sytem but bumps pretty good you would have thought it was a system twice its power. Kicker is the way to go for entry level.
I got a comp q 15, I am beyond impressed. 4.6 cf slot port box. Quality subs that last. Been beating hard for 6 months.
I love kicker! I have 2 comp q 12s best subs I’ve had. I love kicker because there are not made from cookie cutter parts and They last a long time and sound great and get loud.
I still love my 12 inch audiopipe 4 stack!!!! In a ground shaker 2.70 cubic feet box! Pounding 💪🏾!
I would love to see the Loaded L7 12s on a spl meter. I can’t find videos of that anywhere!
Call me impressed. Back in the day I was happy to hit 142 with a Digital Designs 15 and a 2000 watt amp. So 141 out of 2 prefab 10's is awesome.
PARKER! More 🔥 content as always!!! I didn’t see the giveaway on Facebook I need that setup!
My homeboy has the single 12" square L7 in a ported loaded enclosure, in a 2007 Trailblazer. And it bangs. Hooked up to a CXA800.1 @ 1ohm. lows are decent, but fall apart below 28,29hz which is fine, because most his favorite songs don't get that low. I will be upgrading his mids n highs this spring/summer with a RF p400x4 and Kicker KS components and coaxials.
Great Christmas Gift. It will last way beyond Christmas and can still be re-gifted when you outgrow them.
Look at you Parker moving on up you have got kicker looking at you now that's a big company been around longer than me and you both and I'm 44 years old so keep up a good work 🤗 by the way I've had some kicker products too they will surprise you if you know what you're doing maybe you can do a kicker build with The Best L7X when these subs come out.
I just bought 2 of those baby, can't wait to hear them
I know a lot of people give kicker a lot of flak. But I have been going with kicker for 16 years. I had two kicker CVRs 16 years ago. I would throw golf clubs in my trunk and those subs would bang off my golf bag and other random objectors in the car and never once took damage. I then went to kicker CVXs and was involved in a big accident. ! CVX survived after taking the full brunt of the force. I now have a new kicker CVXs with 1200rms amp and its nice. Just put a kicker comp r in a shallow box under my rear truck seat. Sounds great for what I need. They are pretty good at playing good frequency ranges.
Good, clean looking setup. Should be plenty enough for the average music listener.
One thing I love about audio systems specifically home audio systems is you learn a lot about subwoofers it’s ironic to see people say oh sub placement in a room doesn’t matter In a house, it’s like oh yes it does and where I have my Klipsch R-12SW 12 inch active subwoofer gives the best output for my room while not overpowering the 5 main speakers and the 2 atmos speakers above my bed which even in a car subwoofer placement and the amount of subwoofers can make or break a system!
I have 2 of these in my Pontiac G5 in a different box with a 1000w Rockford Fosgate amp and these sound nice. Definitely recommend for someone on a small budget. You can get these in the kicker box and the kicker 800w amp at best
Buy for $500ish
Bro no doubt kicker makes a damn fine product i have a comp R 12 dvc and it is plenty i do have a few svc 12s that i plan on doing some experiments with and also thanx for ur channel
Got the 12 version of these with a Kicker KX 800.1 amp. Just wanted something simple with a little more kick than factory and it sounds great.
hopefully you could make a video on the dual 12s just to see the difference between the 10s and 12s
Thanks for sharing Parker, I hope the video does well. I think it will.
I just bought one of this.. but the 12" version... can't wait to finish my dual am install.
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS THANKS!
I had the single 12 in their loaded enclosure when I started and it banged for what it was. I put it behind my seat and I actually wanted a second one.
I have those in 12s with a kicker 600 Amp in an expedition. Sounds pretty good. Thinking about getting an 800 or 1000 watt Amp to see how much louder it can go and see if it's a big difference
Love the videos keep it up!!! Would be so much better if you had a mic for the talking portion of the videos. Thanks for your reviews
Well done explaining your knowledge.
Love what your doing bro
You've creating you a good you tube channel, I knew you would succeed from the beginning of your channel, great videos.👍
I appreciate that Billy!!
Thanks Kip!
I run two ten inch caliber... home made housings... max 550 watts each... 1000 watts amp and it kicks the whole block down... its mindblowing... and its running for 14 years now...
Sensitivity 94 👌 that's some of the highest ratings I've hears of for sub woofers....no kicker amps have a similar technology as Fosgate in the way that they produce the same power during ohm rise they kinda fight impedance rise
Comparing loudness and sound quality with the Kicker Comp R prefab setup and the factory Skar SDR-setup
Will kicker Comp R's sound better and louder than a Skar SDR- setup ? Or will the Skar SDR- win overall ?
Kicker was what got me into car audio 2 comp 12 in a sealed box those were the days
The Comp Rs are great subs. I had a 12 that I tried and tried to hate and bash, ya knows cuz it’s kicker lol but when it out performed some other high end and competition brands I could do nothing but respect it. Like any other brand Kickers higher end subs and amps are top notch. You buy the Walmart junk then you are buying their lowest and cheapest items they offer
Ive literally never had any issues with kicker at all. I did a build in a 2018 f150 with 4 Q class L7 8s under the rear seat and out of all these subs Ive done truck builds with they have much better sound quality and can easily keep up in spl with higher power 8s since they are certainly more efficient. 8s Ive built spec boxes for that the QL78s are louder than: Sundown SA v1.5 & v3 8s, Soundqubed HDS2.1 8s, CT Strato 8s. Higher power 8s the QL78 can easily keep up in spl with: CT Meso 8, SSA F8L 8, Sundown X8s. The Q class are totally different than the solo baric, much stiffer suspension and more motor force, they hit alot tighter and louder and are low end monsters.
I absolutely love my compQ 12 I got in my trunk. Hits stupid low and clean for a single 12. Amazes me every single day I hop in the car tbh
I had the 12 version of these boxes and sound way batter if you cover the port and make it sealed. The bass will be deeper but will still be just as loud as the ported.
I just bought this same enclosure compr 10 enclosure, a lot of guys said it’s not powerful but if you’re not a crazy bass head it’s decent sub with a lot of power gives me headaches and I don’t have it all the way up. I’m running it on JL/JD1000 mono amp. Decent product
Do you know if the 43CWR10G grilles will mount to the speakers in the 48DCWR102 enclosure box? I don't see the mounting holes/screws exposed on the outer speaker rings, but was wondering if the material covering the holes/screws could be removed to expose the mounting holes for the grilles to be attached.
You should to a kicker l7 next...love your videos bro
I run 3 CompR 10’s in my trunk in a ported box tuned to 32-33hz. It plays 26hz loud and up past 50 all at same volume level. Still has tight punchy bass as well. If you tune the box to 20hz those subs will play 20hz. What is that box tuned to bc your output drops quick below the box’s tune.
Nice video. Cannot go wrong with Kicker.
Oooo is that a American Bass HD-15? Off to the left of the kickers. That is an amazing sub
I've got a question. Can a 10 inch subwoofer deliver the same performance and punch as a 12 inch, considering both subwoofers are of the same RMS rating??
Awesome as usual. 5:10 Remember to look at the camera and not the screen so you're not looking off to the side.
These are perfect for anyone wanting a simple setup in the vehicle, just plug in and go with a 1200 watt amp
Had the 12in version. Unfortunately didnt get low enough for my taste. Now the quad box on the other hand seemed to hit the sweet spot. Maybe talk kicker into sending you one in the future lol
Now I noticed you had them sitting facing outwards and the facing up in the cargo compartment, what is best?
Parker
If someone isn’t wanting a crazy elaborate setup and is simply looking to add some good Bass and If you had to pick between between American Bass/Skar type sub or these Kicker Comp R subs. Bass and clarity which would you pick.? To me I’m not looking at anything in Kicker’s lineup below Q Class. The comp C and Comp R just feel cheap which makes me feel like they’re not gonna be able to give me good hard hitting clean bass. I feel like even cheaper priced sub like Skar or American bass will out perform these Comp R’s. Am I looking at it right?
Kicker gets a bit of a bad knock but they can handle a lot of pounding.. I started with pioneer and ended up with Kicker when I was younger and they were always decent.. never blew up one until I just for the heck of it hooked 3 comp 12's to my star 🌟 power 5000k and smoked them out after a few days and they took a ton of abuse 😅 it's just fun to see 👀 if they can do it and for the price they are definitely reliable
What is the playlist for your songs? Wanting to try it for my dual compr 12" subs.
How do u wire these up to your mono block amp? Since there’s only one terminal on subwoofer enclosure
i used to hate on kicker till i heard that exact box it’s hard hitting they are built tough but still personally rather other brands for more power
Can you do a review on Kicker’s shallow mount subwoofers? I think it would be interesting.
I wouldn't call that a custom system my dude only cause there's so many other dudes out there that will run the same thing I would say cool to run but not custom 👍 love ya buddy keep it up
You right. I still have a pair of 12 in Kicker impulse in a sealed box from 04 that I haven't killed
Those bang in a truck. I done a install with the kicker 800.1
Can i take the subs out and put in a smaller box i bought a new car and the box doesnt fit in the trunk i would have to get a smaller box would that work?
Yep they’re awesome I have the comp r 12’s on an autotek mean machine 4,000 watt 1 ohm stable
I have had my Two kicker 12s L7 Q series for a little over a year and they beat down ths block i love them
Kicker should send you the 4x12 square sub box the review! With the 2400w Kicker Amp! I’m running the Kicker Amp on one G2 Sub! Banger!
That things cool
These would probably shake my chevy colorado nice. I have to bose system and a kenwood 601-1 amp that's 600w @2 ohms. Thoughts?
Some of us out here would love to see sub reviews that show some music with fast snappy bass. Rap type "music" just doesn't do it for the diehard metalhead. So often these type of boxes (ported/vented) start out fine then start to flutter or get muddy. Just a thought😎
Where did u purchase the kicker CVX that kept making that polk noise. I cant find the vid
I purchased one and it smells. I wonder why. Had a closed box with a alpine type R before and didn’t smell anything. My amp is a JL JD500/1. Switched subs and now I get the electrical smell
Kicker only makes good quality amplifiers and speakers.
Perfect for someone that wants to add bass and not go to a contest. Yes they also make mids and highs. They don't over rate their amplifiers like 90% of the companies are doing today. If you buy an amplifier from kicker that says it's 300 watts you're going to get 300 watts or more.
Thanks for the video brotha I want some hard 10s in my single cab 04 dodge and a bad ass amp
Nice review, ur right reverse light is out
I have 1-12 kicker comp R in the kicker box. Im running a shitty Kenwood amp with it. Says 600watts on the amp but I think the sub can handle much more. What amp would be good for that sub? Is the Audio pipe 1000 to much for it?
Also, I don't know if the audio place set my amp up right. Bow do I find out what Hz and DB freq to run the amp at. Help. Lol
Hey parker can you please do a review the Kicker quad box. That would be awesome.
Hey man I was wonder if you could answer a question for me I was thinking about buying these subs right now I have a brand new the kicker CXA 800.1 amp from Kicker would that amp run those subs fine?
Thanks for the content appreciate your information peace ✌️
What are good amps that aren’t too expensive that I can pair with these subs?
