Why Choose Kicker 50CWCS84 Component Car Subwoofer?
Enhanced Bass Performance
Reengineered for increased excursion and deeper bass, the Kicker CompC features a single 4-ohms voice coil and an injection-molded polypropylene cone for powerful, low-end sound.
Superior Durability
Built with Forced-Air Cooling™, a ribbed polyurethane surround, and signature yellow surround stitching, this subwoofer ensures outstanding durability and long-lasting performance.
Robust Construction
The subwoofer includes high-strength Spiralead tinsel leads, a stamped steel basket, a high temp voice coil, and spring-loaded speaker terminals for reliable, high-quality sound.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- • Why does the speaker feel incredibly stiff and lack warm low-end tone right after unboxing it?
The heavy-duty ribbed polyurethane surround and progressive spider are manufactured to be rigid for long-term durability. The driver requires roughly two to three weeks of moderate, daily play to break in and allow the suspension to flex to its rated 30Hz frequency floor.
- • Can I install this in a small sealed enclosure?
Yes. It is well suited for compact sealed enclosures when built according to the recommended internal volume for balanced performance.
- • Why is this underperforming and heavily distorting when mounted directly into my rear window deck?
While some users attempt an infinite baffle setup, this small driver has highly flexible mechanical limits that struggle without proper backpressure. Installing it into a dedicated sealed enclosure will instantly control the cone's excursion and clean up the distortion.
- • Can I use this with my factory stereo?
Yes. An external amplifier is required, and many factory head units also need a line output converter for proper signal integration.
- • Why does the bass become distorted when I turn the volume up?
Amplifier clipping, excessive gain, or incorrect crossover settings are common causes of distortion. Proper amplifier tuning will provide cleaner bass and help protect the subwoofer.
- • Does it need a break-in period?
Yes. Playing music at moderate volume for several hours allows the suspension to loosen naturally and improves bass performance over time.
- • Why do I hear vibrations from my dashboard or doors during bass notes?
Interior trim pieces, door panels, or dashboard components may resonate with low frequencies. Tightening loose parts or installing sound-deadening material can reduce unwanted vibrations.
- • Can I use an amplifier with a higher RMS rating than the subwoofer?
Yes. A properly adjusted amplifier with clean output is generally safer than an underpowered amplifier pushed into clipping.
- • Why does the cone move but produce very little bass?
This often indicates reversed speaker polarity, incorrect crossover settings, or an enclosure air leak. Inspect the wiring and amplifier settings before assuming the subwoofer has failed.
- • What is the absolute smallest box I can build to hide this driver under my truck seat?
You can build a highly compact enclosure with an internal volume as small as 0.5 cubic feet for a sealed configuration.
