About the Kicker Q-Class 42CWQ104
L7 + round frame = CompQ
L7 + round frame = CompQ
When Kicker introduced their L7™ Series subwoofers, the combination of rugged materials, quality workmanship, and innovative design raised the bar for aftermarket subwoofer performance. Now Kicker has created the CompQ™ Series subwoofer, a speaker that puts the L7's awesome performance into a round basket that'll mount in a standard enclosure.
Built tough for great bass
The 42CWQ102 10" sub features a forged aluminum frame for maximum strength and accurate sound reproduction. The sub's injection-moulded SoloKon™ polypropylene cone features special back bracing for strength and responsiveness, while a special-design Santoprene™ rubber surround allows greater cone excursion for increased output. Two 4-ohm voice coils make it easy to get more power from your mono amplifier.
Handles up to 700 watts
This sub's advanced design keeps things cool when you are driving your system hard, so you'll get reliable performance. With up to 700 watts of RMS power handling, you'll get plenty of the deep, rich bass you need to make your music come alive.
Kicker Q-Class subwoofers incorporate cutting-edge technologies and superb construction to deliver an extraordinary musical experience in your vehicle. These subs are only sold by select dealers chosen by Kicker.

Everything about this sub is amazing. You can tell that a lot of thought went into the design and attention to build quality. It is also beautiful to look at. The sound is crisp and tight,I'm very impressed. These subs are by far the best designed I've ever owned. Good job Kicker.
