CompVR CVR102 / CVR104

Technical features of the Kicker CompVR CVR102 / CVR104 subwoofer: detailed analysis and performance characteristics

The Kicker CompVR CVR102 / CVR104 subwoofer offers flexible wiring with its dual voice coil, available in both 2x2 ohm and 2x4 ohm impedances. The dual voice coil allows for wiring configurations to be tailored to a wide variety of applications. A 2-ohm configuration offers the advantage of higher amplifier loading and volume output, especially when combined with suitable amplifiers. The 4-ohm configuration, on the other hand, offers flexibility by allowing it to be used in parallel with other components. As the impedance value decreases, the power output increases accordingly, placing greater strain on the amplifier. Maintaining the optimal impedance value ensures maximum sound efficiency.

500 watts RMS power of the Kicker CompVR subwoofer – for powerful sound design

With an RMS power rating of 350 watts and a maximum power handling of 700 watts, the Kicker CompVR subwoofer delivers exceptional sonic dynamics. The consistent 350 watts RMS power rating ensures high reliability and durability without sacrificing sound quality. In high-power applications, the maximum power rating of 700 watts meets the requirements, but with consideration of heat dissipation. The subwoofer maintains its performance at increased volumes and often exceeds the performance of similar models on the market, which often operate at power ratings of around 250 to 300 watts.

Santoprene® surround and progressive roll spider for optimal membrane movement technology

The Santoprene® surround provides the necessary flexibility for linear cone excursion. This robust surround provides damping and maintains bass precision even at high volumes. It is supported by a progressive roll spider, which helps control cone movement and thus minimizes harmonic distortion. This complementary interaction between surround and spider ensures clean and powerful bass frequencies, which is essential for sound fidelity, especially in car hi-fi applications.

Injection-molded polypropylene membrane and its influence on sound reproduction

The subwoofer's cone is made of injection-molded polypropylene, which ensures lightweight construction and increased rigidity. This material property achieves high resonance resistance and enables crisp, detailed bass sounds. Polypropylene has the advantage over other cone materials such as paper in that it is less susceptible to moisture and offers greater durability. In sound performance tests, this material often proves superior, remaining consistent across both low and high frequency ranges.

Improved heat dissipation through UniPlate™ system and perimeter ventilation on the Kicker CompVR

The UniPlate™ heat dissipation system combines a solid pole piece with a perimeter vent to ensure excellent heat dissipation. These models offer a proactive temperature regulation system by efficiently dissipating heat to the outside. Heat-sensitive components, especially at high volumes, benefit greatly from solid temperature regulation, as this increases voice coil life and durability and reduces distortion. This is a significant improvement over traditional pole piece designs often found in higher-performance subwoofers.

Installation instructions: Compact fit and suitable installation depths for versatile vehicle applications

The 23.3 cm mounting cutout and 14 cm mounting depth make the Kicker CompVR subwoofer suitable for a wide range of mounting positions in vehicles. This dimension offers flexibility and allows for installations in both compact vehicles and larger audio installations. On-site installation in Frankfurt (Oder) also provides assistance with precise installation. The compact size, without sacrificing depth, allows for full resonance without compromising subwoofer-like bass intensity.

Measurable sound quality: Sound pressure level of 83.6 dB for efficient low-frequency performance

A sound pressure level of 83.6 dB at 1W/1m demonstrates that the subwoofer is capable of producing valuable volume with low energy input. Compared to other subwoofers on the market, which often operate at sound pressure levels below 80 dB, this value demonstrates efficient energy conversion into acoustic output. As expected, a change in this value could result in reduced responsiveness at low input power. Currently, the subwoofer is above the market average and designed for energy-conscious performance.

Heat-resistant voice coil winding and its importance for sound stability

The heat-resistant voice coil winding is a feature that allows the diaphragm to withstand above-average power handling without the risk of thermal failure. This durability proves particularly advantageous during prolonged, intensive use in high-performance scenarios. This property is crucial for protecting the subwoofer from the usual wear and tear that can occur with thermally inadequate coils when unprepared for high output demands.

Simplified installation with dual voice coils for variable vehicle compatibility

The dual voice coil setup opens up numerous wiring options suitable for different amplifier setups and vehicle types. This flexibility enabled expert support (FAQ & Help) to provide assistance in correctly setting the audio profile in the vehicle. This creates a harmonious interplay of sound elements with very little need for adjustment, which is particularly advantageous when reproducing low frequencies in vehicle settings.
