KICKER 48CWRT84 CompRT 8" Subwoofer, DVC, 4-ohm

After 2-3 week break in period, this sub sounds amazing. It's a perfect solution to wanting quality responsive bass without rattling everything. I used this 8" as a factory replacement paired with the kicker 400.1

2024 Bronco Badlands with B&O. Installed Kicker 8” Subwoofer in place of the OEM B&O Subwoofer. Lower frequency response was immediately noticeable. The Size is slightly larger than the OEM Sub so I did have to make some slight modifications to the sub enclosure. I did a little YouTube research and found exactly what I needed to do. What I thought could turn into a full day project ended up only taking 1.5 hours. I guess I gained all of the necessary information during my research to make this a quick and easy project. I did not change the B&O Amp and am extremely satisfied with the end result. I was on the fence as to swap this speaker…considering this was basically a one way ticket but now I am glad I put in the research time and am loving the extra bottom end I was missing. For the money this was a no brainer. I also replace four of seven OEM speakers with Kicker CS 6.5” and 4” coaxial speakers and am very happy with the overall results.

I'm back to bumping again! Easy to install

This is a great Kicker subwoofer. I used it to replace the OEM F-150 Sony one that comes in Fords with Sony sounds system. I kept the enclosure and added an extra 1/2 mdf ring to accommodate for the depth to fit this little fella. It has met all my expectations. It adds that missing ‘punch’ component to my updated audio system. I wouldn’t expect a ‘heart out of your chest’ bass out of this one but for my small needs to help keep everything OEM and have that little extra bass it fits perfectly! The quality looks really awesome. Will definitely recommend it!

It has a terrible mechanical noise that gives out a paper like vibration which is really bad. No matter how well you tune it, the mechanics sound doesn’t go away.

For the size and specs, this is a great sub. The quality of the sound you'll get will come down to picking a proper amp and building the right box. As far as the sub itself is concerned, you can't go wrong with these kickers. An 8" isn't going to hit like a 12 of course but for a shallow 8, this thing is fantastic!

Replaced my factory sub in a 2022 Ford Bronco (with minor modification). It made a huge difference in the bass quality.

This is not the same Kicker quality that I've become accustomed to over the the last 30 years. It barely lasted 10 months before giving up the ghost.
