12" CompR 2 Ohm Enclosure
The CompR 12" subwoofer enclosure is a straightforward way to add serious bass to your vehicle. It uses a single 2 ohm terminal, making it simple to get the most from your amplifier.
Built for high output, the enclosure features extensive internal bracing, thick MDF construction and custom embroidery. The CompR's signature red double stitching bonds the Santoprene® surround to the polypropylene cone. SoloKon™ technology joins the cone to a vented back brace, forming a single integrated unit that cools the motor and reduces distortion. Forced Air Cooling keeps the driver running up to 25% cooler.
The thick black carpet finish gives the enclosure a clean, refined appearance. The front-facing tuned port, set to 36Hz, maximises acoustic efficiency — delivering strong bass levels from modest amplifier power. If you'd prefer a down-firing design, the Kicker 48TRTP122 12" loaded enclosure is also rated at 500W RMS.
