CompR 12″ Dual Voice Coil Subwoofer — 4 Ohm
48CWR124
The 2021 CompR subwoofer brings improved efficiency and a blacked-out finish. The dual 4 ohm voice coil design makes it straightforward to get the best from your amplifier.
SoloKon™ technology joins the cone to the vented back brace, forming a single integrated unit that cools the motor and reduces distortion. Kicker's Forced Air Cooling helps the sub run 25% cooler than previous designs.
Features
- Forced Air Cooling — keeps the voice coil cool
- Double stacked magnet
- Signature double red stitching
- Santoprene surround
- Spring loaded terminals
The 48CWR124 works best in a sealed or ported enclosure with 500W of recommended power. If you prefer a ready-to-fit solution, the Kicker 48TRTP122 loaded enclosure pairs a 12″ sub with an enclosure at the same 500W RMS rating.

About the Kicker 48CWR124
From our tech experts at CEN
A 12 inch subwoofer from the Comp line, Kicker’s long-running range for solid bass without a competition budget, with a 4 ohm voice coil so it can be wired to suit your amplifier, handling 500w RMS.
Who it suits
Drivers building a system where the bass does real work rather than filling in behind the speakers. It needs an enclosure sized correctly for the driver: sealed for tight and accurate, ported for louder and deeper.
Our tech experts advise
A subwoofer is only as good as its enclosure and the amplifier behind it. Box volume, port tuning and how the voice coils are wired decide what you actually hear. We build enclosures to suit the vehicle and match amplification at our Beeston workshop. Installation is priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year and we will confirm what it needs. See car audio installation.
