Q: QuestionI got a skar rp 1500 watt monoblock amp. Would it be good for 2 of these subs?(2 answers)
A: AnswerThe Skar RP-1500.1D amplifier is rated to produce 1500 watts @ 1-ohm impedance, 930 watts @ 2-ohms impedance. If you were to wire each of the 12" CompR DVC 2-ohm subwoofers coils in series each subwoofer would be a 4-ohm impedance. Then parallel wire those two subwoofers to the amplifier, the amplifier would see a 2-ohm load and develop the 930 watts rated power. That would be 465 watts RMS to each subwoofer. The subwoofer is rated 500 watts RMS, so you are within specifications. As always, set your gains properly and do not clip your amplifier. Enjoy!Answered by Kicker Customer Support
Q: QuestionProper way to wire this speaker 1 ohm(4 answers)
A: AnswerThere are two sets of speaker hook ups. Get a section of speaker wire about six inches long. Make sure both the pair and negative ends of both ends of the wire are showing about one inch of bare wire. Then you simply connect the positive and negative on one side. Then stretch the wire over to the other side and do the same. Connect in parallel. Positive to positive. Negative to negative. Then you take the incoming speaker wire from your amp and connect it to either side of the speaker. Positive to positive. Etc. Now you have a one ohm load of it's a two ohm speaker. It would be two ohms if it were a four ohm speaker.Answered by jasondubda1
Q: QuestionCan two of these be wired to 1ohm?(4 answers)
A: AnswerNo. 2 - DVC 2ohm subs get subs get wired to a 4 ohm load 2 - DVC 4ohm subs get wired to 1 ohm loadAnswered by Cheeks3806
Q: QuestionWhat’s the wattage of these subs?(3 answers)
A: Answer500rms 1000peak Don't supply more than 750rms to the subAnswered by Cheeks3806
Q: QuestionHow much cubic air space do these require?(2 answers)
A: Answermeasure height, width and depth of enclosure you intend to build. Subtract the material thickness. Multiply these numbers and divide by 1728 to get the volume in cubic feet.Answered by AngelC

Excellent service along with great quality sub!
Purchased this subwoofer 3 weeks ago for a daily driver (work commute). I have it paired with a Alpine r-a75m. It’s sending 750 watts rms and the subwoofer is taking it like it’s nothing. After the break-in period I set my amplifier accordingly and absolutely no distortion whatsoever loud, clear bass. I have it in a SPL 1.5 cu ft ported box tuned at 38 hz. I was surely surprised when one was loud enough that I didn’t want another. I can definitely recommend this subwoofer to anyone. Allow this subwoofer to break-in and send it some clean solid power. You won’t be sorry.

KICKER COMP R 12in subwoofer, ALMOST PERFCT
A good quality built subwoofer, the idea of calling the coils was great but they didn't cool the lead wires, one of the lead wires melted in half so maybe step up by using thicker lead wire
