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 2 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 cast aluminum frame provides an extremely stable, vibration-free base, so every note gets from the cone to your ears as pure as the day it was recorded.

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