- What amplifier power does this subwoofer need?
- Its 2-ohm voice coil and 89 dB sensitivity let a mid-size mono amplifier drive it to loud levels. Match the amp's RMS rating to the sub's rating rather than its peak figure.
- What size box does a 15-inch Kicker sub need?
- Plan on a sealed or ported enclosure built to Kicker's specs for this model, which is large enough to take real trunk space. A properly tuned ported box gives more output; a sealed box gives tighter response.
- Can I use this subwoofer in a boat?
- Kicker does not rate this model for marine use. The cone resists moisture, but salt, spray and sun will shorten its life; choose a marine-rated sub for boats.
- Is this a dual-voice-coil subwoofer?
- No. It uses a single 2-ohm voice coil, so check that your amplifier is stable at 2 ohms before wiring it up.
- How does it compare with Kicker's CompR and L7 subs?
- The CompC line sits below CompR and L7 in power handling and excursion. It is easier to drive and simpler to install, while the higher lines take more power and play louder.
- Where is the Kicker 50CWCS154 15" 4-ohm Car Subwoofer cheapest?
- At Best Buy, for $159.99, as of our latest check.
