Love how you can see his passion in what Parker does, buys his own subs, and instead of approaching it from a marketing stand point you can tell he's having fun. "Let's hit it 1 more time." "That was Great!!", "Ok let's hit 1 more time" lol. (hits it 3-4 more times.) Great stuff, love the content bro.
Bro on facebook there's a Kicker fan group best group to be in even the ceo and owner of Kicker is in it I think Kicker is the only comp ik who actually chats with the fans
As far as spl goes I find there is virtually no reason to buy kicker if you are building your own box. Other subs just kill it for tye same or less. Kicker for new audio guys is decent with their brand box but i would argue that skar preloaded is better for spl and rockford p's preloaded have better sq. For an spl woofer kicker just doesn't have a place anymore.
To be fair especially for there prices kicker makes really good entry to mid level stuff perfect for a first system and if you've got the cash you can actually get a banging ass setup for cheap if you get a decent amp and comp vrs
Try kickers comp q 12s. Man they are crisp on every note not to mention they distortion free also. I had them on a 2.5k amp at 1 ohm and people would swear I had 15s or multiple subs. Kickers pretty good in my book.
I got a pair of these 10s sealed on a rockford 1000.1 @ 4ohm, rated 700 watts. They bang... yesterday I said screw it and to see how they do with more power and re-wired to 1ohm, amp puts out at least 1000 watts at that level more like 1200 actually according dynos. I run off lithium, 14v all day long and MAN these subs are BANGING! I cant believe how crazy a pair of 10s get down. Its in my 2005 Altima, loving it! Cnat beat them for 100 bucks imo, they go pretty low too! Loving these kicker reviews Parker! Keep it up!
Nice to see a good and NEW review! not just reviews from 2010 saying "This thing SLAPS" Thanks for suffering in a cold garage for us! Living in Canada I know how you feel haha. Oof 9:08
@@ParkerTheBasshead I'm stoked to see it bro! I think my comp vrs are gonna pop eventually with his I'm treating them lol. Thing comp r as a nice cheap upgrade to take the little extra power!
He has a custom box for some of his 12s, I believe that one is 2.5 cubic feet which is too big for these little kicker 12s. Gotta try and stick to the specs. I think the skar box suits these kicker subs pretty well
Sadly, videos never do justice to the actual sound unless you’re there in person. Talking about subs, some subwoofers can have a small motor but a very strong voice coil. I know subwoofers from back in the 90s that had a small motor but since the coil is really powerful, it can take quite a beating. To the contrary to many subwoofers nowadays with a big ass heavy magnet and the coil blows up easy.
Bro you over powering it I can hear the snapping sound from the bottom out if your gonna test it do it right and that’s still not even full power bc your running 2 ohm do the video again with the right amp and 2 subs to make it 1 ohm
higher xmax mean cone or surround of subwoofer can up and down higher & more than the lower xmax subwoofer ?? right ? sorry im newbie, and the best subwoofer needed lower or higher frequency response for better ? ( 25hz - 200hz better than sub 25hz - 500hz ? or 500hz better than 200hz ? )
Love ya videos but bro after you make a video prices shoot up on every sub you review i got my American bass hds of there site for 365 now them bitchs is 465
I would argue that it should be at the headrest where the speaker is actually heard. Can you imagine someone riding around with their head crammed between the dash and windshield? ‘bASs hItS wAy hArDeR uP hErE!!’
My first real sub was a kicker spl and then I upgraded to a kicker solo l5 when they 1st came out and I've been bumping it ever since and that was 20 years ago... So if you take care of them they will last a long time !!!
I'm not really sure what I want to do with my system. I want to get down to a pretty low frequency although still sealed. I was thinking 3 of these at around 1500w.
Nice video. I got 2 Audiopipe bdc2s based on your videos, skar prefab and 1500w skar amp. Very happy with the setup and zero issues so far pounding them for 2 months. Edit- they are getting the full 1500w (38 volts, 1 ohm) probably a tad bit of clipping on some of the songs that are recorded with higher levels. Amp gain is little over 3/4 way up. Amp and subs never get hot
I would love to see a comparison of these CompVr subs and the 2001 model CompVr subs. I had two of them in my 95 and 96 Caprice wired down to 1.3Ω on a 1200 watt Class D amp with an external crossover. Bass was crazy! Subs took the power and begged for more. This was a great review by the way! Due to the limited room in my truck, I’ll have to settle for shallow mount subs in a down firing box. Will most likely be kicker though 😁
Yeah Parker's keeping it real! Kicker is legendary! I think of Steve irby in the same breath as Lloyd Ivey and jim fosgate. Just behind thiele small gene czervinsky and just ahead of Steve mantz James n Lucio n Tony D. Y'all need to quit hatin n give props where credits due...
@@wayneslain9444 bro I want to cop one of the monoblocks with the new tech that he has put in em... From what I've read about here and there it is almost the same as what Alpine monoblocks have in them. I'm intrigued to say the least.
Your also feeding it dirty powwer taramps are shit compared to a jl or alpine amp put this Sub on the alpine 600/1 rms it's gonna hit hard and sound better taramps are bullshit
@@ParkerTheBasshead i need some advice, I wanna purchase, Skar vxf 15in sub,or DDX 15,or SUNDOWN 15in,please tell me which is the better sub u will get,I need yur help,may I send u my number, and I could talk to u
Some of you trashing Kicker cause they are not an all out SPL brand cracks me up .Well a lot of us aren’t into that and don’t care about hitting 165 db with a wall of eight 15” subs with 20,000 watts pushing . There’s some of us old skool guys that still prefer the old skool brands that once made this hobby so great. Now it has absolutely no character and creativity at all
Alot of people talk shit about kicker! When those same individuals started with kicker car audio.kicker does make good stuff if not its even better from other subs in their rms wattage range. Kicker its a bit pricey and can compete with other brands. Kicker just needs to make bigger subs as far in size and rms wattage.
Picking up a new vehicle soon, I have a sealed box with 2 CVR15's subs that weren't really used too much in my old vehicle. Thinking of reusing them in the new SUV instead of buying new LT dual box... Will I need to upgrade the OEM 190 amp alternator and battery to run this??? 800 watt rms amp for the doors too... BIG 3 getting done too.. Thanx!!!!
1.5 cubic feet and one 10, just watched a video of this sub sounded better than 2 12' s in most videos. It has the box building instructions also. Make sure you check out the video.
Not being rude, but you can really tell you watching your monitor display on ur camera, maybe watch the lens and glance over from time to time to make sure your still in frame instead of watching yourself the whole time. just saying, other than that.. thanks for the videos man.
I'm about to run for kickers sealed 15-in in a SUV what are the tonal differences between the comp c the CVR and the comp r series. I'm after transient response and punchy sound for all types of music

After the kicker series you should do the Rockford Fosgate series!!
Facts!
Rockford for the win. I got two p3 twelves in custom box tuned to 33hz. Hitting 145db from the trunk of my Toyota Corolla.
@@lukekoschney420 what about a P1? I bought a box with it already installed and thinking about buying a kicker cvr as a replacement.
I got two rockford fosgate prime 10s on 1000 watts and for my first system im happy
@@lukekoschney420u could be right but my kicker has last for ever.
I’ve had my kicker solo 2 15” for the passed 15years and still hitting hard!
Og solo barics can handle a beating daily for years
What in the fuck 💀
Love how you can see his passion in what Parker does, buys his own subs, and instead of approaching it from a marketing stand point you can tell he's having fun. "Let's hit it 1 more time." "That was Great!!", "Ok let's hit 1 more time" lol. (hits it 3-4 more times.) Great stuff, love the content bro.
When he said he pays outta pocket for the the kickers subs he literally deserved my like and subscribe
Means a lot man I really appreciate you
Test the L7s! Looking forward to more content
Have you reached out to kicker? They seem to be into TH-camrs. They might help you out
Bro on facebook there's a Kicker fan group best group to be in even the ceo and owner of Kicker is in it I think Kicker is the only comp ik who actually chats with the fans
I remember back in the late 90's when Kicker was top notch.
They still are it's just that everyone else evolved
Ya they are as good as gold around my neck of the woods. Lol
As far as spl goes I find there is virtually no reason to buy kicker if you are building your own box.
Other subs just kill it for tye same or less.
Kicker for new audio guys is decent with their brand box but i would argue that skar preloaded is better for spl and rockford p's preloaded have better sq.

@@famousdev9707 skar pre loaded bangs way harder lol but kickers will give you some decent bump
The next couple of model are going to be my favorite. 👌✌️👍 Can't wait
Mine too!!

People talk shit about Kicker but I had a buddy that had 2 Kicker VR 15s on a Kicker 1200 back in like 2006. They beat like a bitch.
No joke I had 2 of the light grey Cvr 15s on a zx1500 banging
Just wait till he gets to the L7s
Btw Parker those plastic cones are polypropylene or impp
Maybe try some resilient sounds subs. Always have heard good things about them.

Loving these kicker reviews Parker! Keep it up!
Good Ole Skar boxes with those overhangs u have to chisel out to fit subs in
rockville is better 😂😂
@7:44 what song was that before the young Jeezy?
You should start doing a free air part in some of your videos
Nice to see a good and NEW review! not just reviews from 2010 saying "This thing SLAPS"
Thanks for suffering in a cold garage for us! Living in Canada I know how you feel haha.
Oof 9:08
Great video man! It would be cool to see you review some Rockford Fosgate subs sometime!
What amp would you recommended if im not gonna play max volume all the time?
I cannot wait for the CompR either. Nice video, as always.
I ordered it a few days ago so should be here soon!
@@ParkerTheBasshead I'm stoked to see it bro! I think my comp vrs are gonna pop eventually with his I'm treating them lol. Thing comp r as a nice cheap upgrade to take the little extra power!
can't wait for that L7 SPL test
That L7 is a still a few tests and a fair amount of money away.
@@ParkerTheBasshead comp r are the best out of the compss
This is why I would never buy the comp r that sub sounds weak ass hell and cheap and that’s what kicker making trash thanks parker
u should test it in a custom aero port box instead of that prefab
He has a custom box for some of his 12s, I believe that one is 2.5 cubic feet which is too big for these little kicker 12s. Gotta try and stick to the specs. I think the skar box suits these kicker subs pretty well
send him a custom aero box for it then!
Bought 2 compvr12's for my dad took out his compC....wayyyyy way better shit knocks in his 2018 silverado WITH a closed box I cant imagine in a car

Kickers lovesealed boxes btw

Loving the vids bro!! Lmao insane difference seeing the x12 beside it
I love kicker definitely make good quality equipment.
Man put the meter on the glass

Next series gotta be Rockford fosgate !!
I'm not really sure what I want to do with my system. I want to get down to a pretty low frequency although still sealed. I was thinking 3 of these at around 1500w.
I think they sound better in sealed boxes
Way better
@@kennethvazquez7966yeah, the TS parameters show they will do better in sealed a lot of the times with kicker subs
Yes it bangs. I'm only running one on 600 watts in a ported box tuned to 33hz and it slams.

Got 6 old cvr’s … wayyyyy better then new ones
I have this cvr in 15 inch version, I always hear ppl say that one is better. What exactly is the difference?
I also have the silver face cvr 15. I don't know them by years. I was addicted to Rockford fosgate, prior to seeing what kicker can do in a big box.
You should get the kicker app it sweet worth getting the payed one if your trying to build your self. Does most of the work for you 👌✌️👍
How is the clarity of the bass output? Thinking 2 10' sealed and an sql setup
Parker you need to invest in an external mic!! Have to turn up so much to hear you! Good vid thanks bud.
I had 2 kicker comp 12s in my nova in high school and they were banging for the price at that age they were great
We need this with Alpines
I might!
3:20 "Y’all"
I have 2 cvr 10s 4 ohms I’m going to wire them to 1 ohm they are 350 rms 700 max what amp should I use?
Just got 2 of these in a box today, excited to install them when I get all the parts in!
That vr sounds the best on a lot of those rap songs , I know comp r and q can handle more but that mid level sub sounds sick
Are you doing the the comp vx and comp Q 12 too?
Yeah Parker's keeping it real! Kicker is legendary! I think of Steve irby in the same breath as Lloyd Ivey and jim fosgate. Just behind thiele small gene czervinsky and just ahead of Steve mantz James n Lucio n Tony D. Y'all need to quit hatin n give props where credits due...

Tampa Bay all the way all day! AAMP audio legion skar n Bucs ftw 🤙
Kip should send ya out a sub. Your testing the snot out of these subs.
Haha that would be nice!
Nice I still have my old silver 10" Comp VR from way back. Its used in my house.
I'm Definitely Impressed Great job Again waiting on the Next one 👏👏👏👏
Can't wait to see the L7 and Q class
Do You think it is a good subwoofer? From 1 to 10, how good it is?
Your also feeding it dirty powwer taramps are shit compared to a jl or alpine amp put this Sub on the alpine 600/1 rms it's gonna hit hard and sound better taramps are bullshit
There is no way you put 5000 plus watts to that little voice coil and didn't blow that think up yea right man ....smh
You should do a series like this on the mtx subs
List some comparable subs in price and/or rms...
See what you can do with pioneer subs no one does videos on them
I love yur passion I'm yur #1 homie
I appreciate you Mark!!

Can u review the orion xtr 12 inch subwoofer
Buy the Skar SDR for $99 , save $20, and get a harder hitting sub. Great job so far on your Kicker reviews!
Yeah I agree man! And thanks I appreciate you
All these subs plus the solo x , could have got u a crazy ass set up hahah
Had my vr12 for 3 days and it blew. Had it with a pioneer champion series mono amp 😬
What kind of amp do you recommend to push 2 cvr 15s??

I am a kicker fan but ya sounded very bias on this review but a good and informative video.
Going on 3 years with my pair. Running on a 6000 w mono in ported rhino box. Boys still beating up the block.

They also play hard ported too
@@rhurtadorh32 they have all specs that fit a sealed box kicker dont have any xmax till u reach comp r line and hier then ported is ideal

Can 2 of these handle taramp 3 k a .5 ohm. ?
I had the same one
Please check out Josh Ketchum’s Kickerado

Hi. What do you think is better to choose: this Kicker CompVR CVR122 or JL Audio 12W0v3-4?
Can they get low?
Yes!
I just got two because of this video🎉
