Pasmag Reviews the CompQ 12" Subwoofer

Earlier this year we had a look at the Kicker L7 square subwoofer, which is part of Kicker’s illustrious Q-Class product line. Adding to that Q-Class product is the CompQ series of woofers, which are a more traditional round shape, but include a lot of the leading edge engineering found in the Q-Class products. Read the full review here.

The 12" CompQ 4 Ohm

The CompQ 12-Inch Subwoofer is the best sound quality round driver we’ve ever made, with nearly identical construction and performance as our L7 square subs.

A thick ceramic magnet and heavy duty voice coil work with an extended pole piece to provide extremely deep bass reproduction - all without distortion. You get a strong, crisp sound that works perfectly with every kind of music.

The CompQ 12-Inch Subwoofer works best with a sealed or ported enclosure with 850 watts of recommended power. See below for more details.
