I know i just started another thread where within i asked about these, but figured a new thread would get more light on the subject especially since there seems to be no reviews on these yet.. I local shop has been installing these mostly in a 10" for smaller space systems like mine. Says they are pretty awesome, and blow the rockford p3's i was looking at clean away given my type of setup. He was explaining to me this new line is from a new sound engineer(?) kicker hired not to long ago to turn their line around to a better quality sub than their recent models. Could be BS for all i know. But this guy does have a huge wall FULL of big a** trophies and records, i believe he even mentioned something about a world record IIRC. Been in business for a long time here, sells kicker, JL, rockford, DD, etc. so it seems like he would have solid advice. He was suggesting i get two 4ohm comp R 10's, the cx1200.1 amp, switch the subs to 1ohm and wire them in series for a 2ohm load at the amp. They feature 600w rms, 1200 max, ideal for .8cuft sealed boxes, and feature a selectable resistance. The 2ohm model can be changd from 2 to 8ohms, and the 4ohm model can be changed from 4 to 1ohm. They suggested driving these subs to their full potential with the newer Kicker cx1200.1 amp. They can be picked up for $130 online or at Best Buy, and most shops sell them for $160. Anyone have experience with these new subs? Ever heard them in person? Is there really a new designer hored on at kicker changing things up? To good to be true? Heres a link to the sub http://www.kicker.com/CompR Link to the Amp he suggested http://www.kicker.com/CX_Amplifiers

Not any good pics yet. Ive been working on cosmetic mods lately having things done up in hydrographics. Built the twins myself, it was fun but a PITA lol 62/475 twins mockup Big boy settled in his home Twin piping install

Happened to stumble across this board in my search for a set of subs and an amp for my pickup. Got my truck runnin at 700hp but it has no bass! Cant be having that... I plan to build a fiberglass sealed box under the rear seat of my 2003 4 door dodge 2500. It should net me at least 1.75ft3, so most likely looking at .75ft3+ per sub box. Being in my twenties i listen to rock, rap, hip hop, country, classic rock. Im just looking for decently hard hitting bass when i want to crank it up. Not looking for top of the line sound/equipment that will cost an arm and a leg. Looking to spend no more than $300 or so on two 10's, plus an affordable amp that will push the subs to their full. Ive been to pretty much every shop here in Lubbock, the one place willing to walk me thoroughly through everything they do and sell was highly suggesting the new Kicker Comp R subs, said they have built many tight quarter setups using these new subs and they sounded awesome. Like i said i dont have much audio brand knowledge, so any help or suggestions in the meantime ategreatly appreciated! Thanks

That's the exact box setup I have planned. Thanks for the pics! Is that your truck? Just need help figuring what subs/amp to run for that location.

I have a 2003 dodge ram im looking to put a setup in under the back seat. I will be building a fiberglass sealed box conformed to the underseat area shape. It will net me a minimum of 1.75ft3. Im just looking for hard hitting bass, no top of the line setup. Budget for the subs is around $300+-, i would imagine 2 10's would probably be my best route? I just went around to all the shops here in town for different opinions. I know Kicker is normally frowned upon, but a few places suggested the new Comp R 10's and a cx1200.1. I cant seem to find much info on the new subs, i was told these new subs are from a better sound engineer kicker hired recently but it could be BS for all i know. So what subs and amp would you folks suggest given the airspace i have and being under a back seat? Im still searching around, but being inexperienced in audio is making some of the information a bit overwhelming to take in and remember.
