Why Choose Kicker 50CVX122 Component Car Subwoofer?
Flexible Wiring and Durable, Precise Bass
Featuring dual 2-Ohm voice coils, this subwoofer offers versatile wiring options for multiple amplifier configurations. The thick polypropylene cone is rigid yet lightweight, ensuring accurate, deep bass, while signature double blue surround stitching reinforces the surround for long-lasting durability and consistent performance.
Enhanced Control and Extended Bass Performance
The ribbed Santoprene surround allows smooth cone movement and extended excursion while protecting the cone. SoloKon cone reinforcement integrates the cone with the back brace, reducing distortion and improving control, while the oversized suspension system ensures precise cone alignment during heavy bass output for clean, powerful sound.
Reliable Power Handling with Efficient Cooling
High-strength insulated tinsel leads ensure dependable voice coil connections under extreme power conditions. The high-temperature voice coil handles up to 750 watts RMS without overheating, while perimeter venting provides efficient thermal management, keeping the motor cool for consistent, high-performance bass.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- • What type of enclosure works best for this subwoofer?
It performs best in an enclosure built to the recommended sealed or ported specifications. The proper enclosure delivers stronger, cleaner bass.
- • Why does it sound weak after switching to a different enclosure?
An enclosure with the wrong internal volume or port tuning can reduce bass output. Use an enclosure that matches the recommended specifications.
- • Can I use this for daily listening and SPL systems?
Yes. It is designed to deliver strong everyday bass while handling high-output applications when properly powered.
- • Why does the bass distort when I turn the volume up?
Amplifier clipping or excessive gain is the most common cause. Proper tuning helps prevent distortion and extends the life of the subwoofer.
- • What amplifier should I pair with this subwoofer?
Choose an amplifier that closely matches the subwoofer's RMS power rating and impedance. Proper power matching provides the best performance.
- • Why is the cone making a clicking or popping noise?
This usually happens when the subwoofer is overpowered or exceeds its excursion limits. Lower the volume and inspect the enclosure and amplifier settings.
- • Can I wire multiple subwoofers to one mono amplifier?
Yes, as long as the final impedance stays within the amplifier's supported range. Follow the recommended wiring diagram for your configuration.
- • Why does the dust cap feel warm after extended use?
A slight increase in temperature is normal during heavy use. Excessive heat may indicate overpowering or poor amplifier tuning.
- • What should I do if my system smells like it is burning?
A burning smell is a clear warning sign that the voice coil is overheating due to excessive power or a clipped signal. Turn your volume down immediately and inspect your amplifier gain settings before the coil sustains permanent damage.
- • Why is the bass weaker after wiring the voice coils?
Incorrect wiring can create the wrong final impedance and reduce output. Double-check the wiring before powering the amplifier.
