Much better description, letting others know what to expect in a larger suv. Only thing I still suggest, is getting cabin freq swept (number to go by) then having just one box inside per test (other box is altering cabin). I'm glad your following through with comments like these, your channel is growing. Keep em goin!!
Man, im subscribed to many other audio RUclipsrs. But for some reason, your videos are always the most informational and enjoyable to watch. Keep it up 👍
I bought a 12 "Comp R 4 ohm (newest version) after watching this video. I have it paired with a Skar 1200.1D, currently have the amp set to 300 watts @ 2ohm to break in the sub and it hits hard with great sound quality in my 1.0cuft sealed box. Keep up the great work!
How is it now after break in? I bought dual 12" CompRs powered by a Kappa One 1000W in a sealed enclosure. It SLAMS. I don't know it's true potential because everything in my car rattles. I need to put in some sound deadening..hah!
with over 1000w going to my 350RMS Kicker comp VR 10s I'm just waiting for them to blow lol. They sound GREAT at this power level though and pound crazy for just 2 little old 10s. I was thinking of going to this sub as a direct drop in replacement,, little more power handling and low end extension for about 20 more bucks than the VR series sounds good to me! I really want to get the Q class subs in 12s or 15s but then I gotta get a box too and wil actually need more power but I'm trying to hold out for some big pounding subs and a nice vented box come spring/summer! Thanks for these reviews man.
I have 800 watts going into two 150 watt RMS kicker 10's been at it daily for six months and still going strong actually getting stronger.Im a believer in kicker while my brother is a hater on kicker
I’m honestly trying to figure out how people are doing double than rated on these things. My Comp S before I sold it hated 500 watts and I had to fine tune my Comp R because that fucker was getting pretty warm on 800 watts. It’s doing better now since I have the subsonic filter active.
@@Iridiumcosmos honestly, same because there's some people that have said 1000w to a comp R is fine, 800w to a comp R is fine as well, then the others say 600/700 is the max. Like I know it's okay to throw an extra 100w at it as long as you have your gains set and clean power w no distortion, but an extra 500?!
@@MrFgcfgcfgc I sold that sub long ago but yeah. I had the 12, 500 - 700 watts is really where you want to stay at for them. Anything above for the 12, you’re in the red zone. The 15 I can understand at least considering it has a higher peak power rating of 1200 or 1500 watts if I recall.
I have a pair of these being pushed by a Kicker 1800.1 amp and I always felt like it could be a good bit louder than it is. The car these are in probably has twice the cabin space so I need a LOT more excursion to move enough air. Your channel has definitely been a tremendous help in making me decide it's time to quit screwing around and I'm going to build a box for a pair of Skar SVX or Sundown 12s instead. Keep making such great content!
TY!! I bought the twin CompR 12’s in the box (mostly through local availability and frustration), so I’m stoked that you did this review and that it was very positive….peace out..:)
It's rated at 14mm xmax, so 28mm total stroke. 1" is 25.4mm. So it's over 1" total. Pairing it with the right box is important. It's a $120 sub. You don't buy it to win SPL 20Hz competitions. I have the 10" dual 2ohm version and on 500-600W @ 1ohm in a 35Hz tuned 1.5cu ft box it's perfect for creating a really good sounding daily without giving up too much trunk space.
@@paquesepas6696 You really should use kickers recommendation on box size for the specific model you are considering. They have all that info on their website.
There's some 10s that slap. Memphis makes one with a 200 oz. Motor its a beast. Dont let Noone tell u shit! A single 10 done right can be loud and deep.
My Ford Excursion had two American bass 15s and I was hitting 145 decibels which I think is pretty good because that truck is huge I was running a skar audio 3500 watt amp and the 15th were the TNT American bass 15s which you should also check out those things slam
Yeah I had one of these last year. Same box and everything and immediately took it back. It was basically a woofer instead of a subwoofer. Was definitely geared more towards mid-range basses.
Thanks man!! Man I watched this video like for the 5th time today then grabbed the d2 12. I thought I was beating with a Comp c 12 and solo round in box together.... swapped out that Comp c and GAAAAAAATDAAAAM!!🎉🔥💯
@@ParkerTheBasshead Hey Parker next video when you compare the voice coils and spiders can you go a little slower and take a few extra seconds to show them in REALLY GREAT detail? I think thats where the biggest difference are besides the cones looking different. Thanks man this kicker comparison is AWESOME!
It might get a little more expensive than usual lol, but I’d like to see you review a Hutchinson neo 12, FI neo and PSI subs if possible?!? Once people upgrade from the usual suspects like skar and American Bass it seems those are the next step from what I’ve seen and what I’m considering next once my American Bass HD12s bite the dust of ever haha. Really like the build quality and looks of Hutchinson atm personally. Keep up the great work broski!
You’re going to be really impressed when you make it to the Q series. I read reviews saying that it has better sq than jl 12w6. I was thinking no way possible. I was wrong. I definitely feel as though it has outperformed both my jl 12w6 and sundown sa12 set ups.
Yep they use a similar sized voice coil but the compr has a much lighter cone (by about 100) grams and a higher sensitivity rating by over two db. The kicker is a more efficient design and should get louder on less power with less distortion, Or at least that’s what the small parameters say. One of the advantage of the mold injected cone. Less heat, less power compression to achieve the same SPL.
I've got two kicker comp r 12 in a kicker box with a JP23 amp and you definitely can hear me ! Thinking about replacing the kickers with skar vfx series, what do you think I should replace them with Parker?
What would say comparing a CompR to a CT Sounds Tropo, or the Skar SDR? What is better quality? I have comp R 10s. Two 2ohm. Both of them are ripping off the former. My first system so I know it's my fault.
Nice but I like the comp VR basket better. Looks like the VR has was more venting in the basket. Still the comp R hit harder wich is what's usally whats important.
Love all your videos! Thanks for keeping us entertained and informed. I have a request since you have a taramp amp and lots of people have them. Would you be able to test the gain setting with your SMD. Is the built in clip signal accurate compared to SMD. Because I believe the amp goes into clipping prematurely according to amp.
Great video man! Another awesome little sub is the pioneer TS-A300D4 definitely maybe something you could review in the future as a good bang for your buck sub
My guy Parker with another grade A video👍🏽 Question for you Parker what's your favorite subwoofer you've owned to date ? Keep the videos coming absolutely love the content🔊🔊🔊💯 #TeamParker
I'm excited to see what the soundqubed will do! Just don't go around bragging you have a 6.5" in the back. I had the cops called on me for saying that...
Hello there Parker, Thank you for your content.. what would you say, having 2 of this 12" 500watts kickers into a 1,200k rms watts Taramp ? Would it make some hard base ??
You have venting on the back of that magnet, something the recently released 48CWR124 has but the dust cover is the gray like it's the older (non-vented) 43CWR124
I just picked up a pair of these in 10” with the kicker 800w mono amp and a Best Buy sealed box. Sounds good. How much better are the Rockford Fosgate P3’s? I have a 1000w Rockford Fosgate Punch mono amp and was thinking about getting the P3’s to throw into a ported box I have on the way.
Can you try a 15inch deaf bonce machete it's rated at 800rms and $150. If not that's cool just wanna see before I spend my money on 2 of them. Well nice reviews keep up the good work.
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!!!!
Parker, if u were to use Threaded Inserts or T-Nuts for securing subs so you don't put a ton of holes into your new box, do you think all of the subs would share the same bolt pattern? I would think no but you could do a few of the most common bolt patterns, making the dustcap slightly crooked for some. Lmk if I need to better explain this. Btw, if you do choose to do this, first ask me about which is better and I'll tell you why.
Is it me or the kicker comp R sound louder than this sub? But it does have a much tighter bass than the previous subwoofer though. Definitely worth looking at.
I’ve got a kicker cxa800.1 amp paired with 2 12” kicker comps. I want to upgrade the subs for something stronger, should I go with comp vr or comp r. My amp is 800 watts so not sure if going with comp R is the right pairing since they are 500 rms each
I have a question, why do people complain about a subwoofer not being stiff out the box but spend a week breaking it in at low power to loosen the spider? Would you rather spend a week breaking it in or throw power to it straight out the box? I'm just wondering!
For me it has been awhile sense I have been on your channel here. Just finishing repairing a old school Alpine amp MRP-M850 and she is on from a long sleep but anyways whats up..........
Why are you using that skar box instead of the much better one right beside it? The mid to high level kickers do well in lower tuned boxes unless you are strictly going for loudness while sacrificing the lows.
Hey bro in your previous videos where the subs start to "stink a bit". Would that be a burnt electronics type of smell? Mine will smell like plastic/glue/lumber sometimes but i think it is the mdf enclosure and not the subs.
Should have gotten the dual 2ohm model! I have the 10 dual 2 connected to a Kicker CXA400.1 amp. The pair is sweet. The amp puts out 687W of clean non clipping power on my scope @ 14.4v and 1ohm load. The 10" CompR takes it really well in a Bass Bunker box from Crutchfield tuned to 35hz.
Thinking about replacing my stock 10 inch sub on my suv. You would recommend the 2ohm over the 4ohm? I've heard the 4ohm has a cleaner sound is that true?
@@golpherboy13 If you're replacing a factory sub with aftermarket sub and still using factory amp/wiring you probably want to stick to a sub with the same impedence to prevent damaging the amp. But if the replacement 4 ohm woofer requires a lot more power than the stock sub you might be better off getting the lower impedence woofer because you'll be able to get more volume out of it at the same power output from amp. Not sure if I'm understanding you.
@@jamesg8246 no I am going to swap it all out. amp, cables, and sub. Just looking for the right set up is all. I want something good that bumps but won't cost me an arm and a leg lol. So far I've been hearing about the skar evl. Might try and convert the 10 in stock box to a 12 inch and get a nice amp to go with it.
Thinking about buying one of these to replace my stock sub on my SUV what would be a good amp to pair this with? Also might be adding an extra 10 inch compC what amp would be able to run both? A 10 compR and 10 compC
I don’t know anything about systems but I just bought a pioneer amp a Gm Dx-8701 with this sub and idk how to get the most out of it I just want it to be loud enough how would I set it up????
Decent sub obviously but as far as value mehh a bdc2 is same exact price on amazon and the AP is better in every aspect like cast basket and motor and suspension Way overpriced for it's budget features, sundowns budget sub is priced similar and a better value imo. But love the content👍
@@paquesepas6696 I'm a bit of an audiophile with all studio gear in my home on Class A amps. I've heard a lot of the sundown, skar and AP subs in both sealed SQ setups and big SPL setups the last few weeks as I'm looking to build a new system and the local bassheads have been doing demos for me. After hours of research and sitting in cars listening there's a reason the kickers and JLs cost so mucg more per RMS watt, and it's the difference in SQ. If I was looking to build a budget SQ setup I would go with an entry level CT Sounds or Skar in a sealed box, but they really don't have that same crispness as the Kickers or JLs, if the budget was a little bigger and your looking for SQ over SPL I'd go Kicker or JL.

Weak
Not for my application. It’s perfect. Actually more than enough.
@@alexdel-toro323 It's actually not. More than enough for most people. I had to install an LC-1 bass knob on the RCA's so it could be attenuated some.

I run a single 10 on 1 ohm on a 550x2 rockford amp and it can take more than what my amp is giving it xD
Do u think the square subs are better?
Would this sub be louder than a Rockford Fosgate p2 10?
Yes
Do You recommend it?
Wat do u think is better the 12" comp R's or the 12" comp C's ?
Or do u recommend the square L7 12 's?

For me it has been awhile sense I have been on your channel here. Just finishing repairing a old school Alpine amp MRP-M850 and she is on from a long sleep but anyways whats up..........
Why are you using that skar box instead of the much better one right beside it? The mid to high level kickers do well in lower tuned boxes unless you are strictly going for loudness while sacrificing the lows.
Hey bro in your previous videos where the subs start to "stink a bit". Would that be a burnt electronics type of smell? Mine will smell like plastic/glue/lumber sometimes but i think it is the mdf enclosure and not the subs.
You plan on making any more of those headway batteries to sell Parker? Wouldn't mind buying one from you.
Watsup man Is this the same as the rt?
Should have gotten the dual 2ohm model! I have the 10 dual 2 connected to a Kicker CXA400.1 amp. The pair is sweet. The amp puts out 687W of clean non clipping power on my scope @ 14.4v and 1ohm load. The 10" CompR takes it really well in a Bass Bunker box from Crutchfield tuned to 35hz.
Thinking about replacing my stock 10 inch sub on my suv. You would recommend the 2ohm over the 4ohm? I've heard the 4ohm has a cleaner sound is that true?
@@golpherboy13 If you're replacing a factory sub with aftermarket sub and still using factory amp/wiring you probably want to stick to a sub with the same impedence to prevent damaging the amp. But if the replacement 4 ohm woofer requires a lot more power than the stock sub you might be better off getting the lower impedence woofer because you'll be able to get more volume out of it at the same power output from amp. Not sure if I'm understanding you.
@@jamesg8246 no I am going to swap it all out. amp, cables, and sub. Just looking for the right set up is all. I want something good that bumps but won't cost me an arm and a leg lol. So far I've been hearing about the skar evl. Might try and convert the 10 in stock box to a 12 inch and get a nice amp to go with it.
Depends on the amp. In my case, the dual 4 wired to 2 ohm would give it the RMS sweet spot of +800 watts.
@@Iridiumcosmos Yeah but the same setup wired to 1 Ohm would handle more power. That's why I say should have gone with dual 2 ohm sub.
putting 2 of these in my prius this weekend :)
Liked and subbed because i find your channel entertaining 🔥
Thinking about buying one of these to replace my stock sub on my SUV what would be a good amp to pair this with? Also might be adding an extra 10 inch compC what amp would be able to run both? A 10 compR and 10 compC
Which do you like better, the Apline Type R 12, or the Kicker Comp Q 12?
Cant wait till we get to the kicker l7 15s1000rms you need a big box .up to 6 cubic ft cant wait its got to be done right to get them to get loud
I don’t know anything about systems but I just bought a pioneer amp a Gm Dx-8701 with this sub and idk how to get the most out of it I just want it to be loud enough how would I set it up????
I use to have kicker 07 CVR 12 they do sound good
Decent sub obviously but as far as value mehh a bdc2 is same exact price on amazon and the AP is better in every aspect like cast basket and motor and suspension Way overpriced for it's budget features, sundowns budget sub is priced similar and a better value imo. But love the content👍
I agree man! The bdc2 is a steal
@@ParkerTheBasshead how does the sound quality differ on both ap and kicker?
@@paquesepas6696 I'm a bit of an audiophile with all studio gear in my home on Class A amps. I've heard a lot of the sundown, skar and AP subs in both sealed SQ setups and big SPL setups the last few weeks as I'm looking to build a new system and the local bassheads have been doing demos for me. After hours of research and sitting in cars listening there's a reason the kickers and JLs cost so mucg more per RMS watt, and it's the difference in SQ. If I was looking to build a budget SQ setup I would go with an entry level CT Sounds or Skar in a sealed box, but they really don't have that same crispness as the Kickers or JLs, if the budget was a little bigger and your looking for SQ over SPL I'd go Kicker or JL.
@@BlueTegu360 2 jl audio w7 13.5 subs on 2400rms was the best sounding setup I've ever heard. Too bad they are like 1500 each lol.
Man I love this sub I actually bout one after watching this video so thanks bro
I neeeed the name of the songs @ 5:56 and 6:05 plz and ty
gonna test any ds18 subs?
Did that thing just take 3,000 watts 👀
what's a simple amplifier you recommend with this? trying to keep a build at a budget.
