2COMPVT SUBWOOFER
The Kicker CompVT subwoofers were specially designed for “Livin’ Loud” out in the harsh automotive
environment. CompVT subwoofers are versatile and surpass the competition in a sealed or vented box.
The ultra-thin mounting depth makes the CompVT subwoofers ideal for custom installations and space-
limited applications. They are made using advanced materials and construction techniques to maintain
optimal performance for years to come.
