Kicker understands that your music doesn't always stay within the confines of your vehicle, which is why the CompRT subwoofers are designed to be all-weather performers. The 48CWRT82 features a UV-resistant cone and surround, allowing it to deliver exceptional sound quality and reliability wherever the road or trail takes you.
Optimal Performance and Reliability
To ensure powerful, deep, and consistent bass performance, the CompRT subwoofers incorporate an advanced suspension and heat management system. This combination helps to maintain optimal performance even during demanding listening sessions. Additionally, Kicker's engineers have implemented Forced-Air Cooling™, a groundbreaking cooling technology that allows the subwoofer to run 20 percent cooler than previous models, resulting in enhanced reliability and longevity.
The signature red double stitching found in the 48CWRT82 showcases the attention to detail that Kicker is known for. This stitching creates an exceptional bond between the improved Santoprene surround and polypropylene woofer cone, enhancing overall durability and sound quality. The revolutionary SoloKon™ technology further contributes to the subwoofer's performance by joining the cone to the vented back brace, creating a unified structure that not only cools the motor but also eliminates distortion.
