A match made in heaven...or Oklahoma

Kicker's 43DCWR122 loaded enclosure puts a pair of thumping 12" CompR subs behind your music. The rugged ported box was designed specifically for the subs, so you can count on getting maximum performance, no matter what kind of tunes you enjoy.

Two hard-hitting CompR subs

Each 12” CompR subwoofer features a tough, polypropylene cone that stays rigid during intense play sessions so you hear accurate bass. A custom-designed back and top plate give the woofers plenty of room to travel, while the durable rubber surround helps to control cone movement during a heavy workout. These subs use extensive venting in their heavy steel baskets to shrug off heat, so you can count on reliable performance.   

Heavy-duty enclosure

Sturdy solid wood ensures long-lasting performance from the enclosure, and the specially designed front-facing port enhances bass production without getting sloppy. The enclosure's 2-ohm impedance draws maximum power from your mono amplifier. This Kicker will handle up to 1000 watts RMS, so make sure you pick an amp that'll make those CompR subs happy.

Product Research

Features

Speaker Terminals: The spring post terminals (one pair) are mounted on the back of the enclosure (toward the right end) and will accept pin connectors, single banana plugs, or bare wire up to 10 gauge.

Woofers: The Kicker 43DCWR122 enclosure uses two 12" CompR series subwoofers.

Break-in Period: Due to the complex nature of Kicker CompR speakers, they require a break-in period in order to produce optimum low-bass response. The suspension system is very stiff out-of-the-box. Approximately two weeks of daily playing will allow the suspension to break-in and reach its optimum equilibrium. Once broken-in, the subwoofer will exhibit stronger bass performance, smoother response, and greater low-bass extension.

Q
How well would these work with cx1200.1?
loren  Oct 16, 2020
1 answer
A
The cx1200.1 amp outputs a bit more power than these subwoofers should get. We have other loaded boxes and should have one that is a much better match for the power output of that amp. I recommend contacting an advisor by calling 1-800-324-9695 to get a personal recommendation on subs to use with that amp

Q
Hello I have got a Boss R1100MK amp, and would like to see if it would do good with this ? Reading the reviews looks like people are loving these speakers and seem to have lesser amps but reading the specs seems like I would be under powered possibly any ideas? Thanks
carol  Dec 19, 2019

A
Based on the specifications Boss lists on their website for the amp, it should work. We recommend giving subwoofers at least 70% and up to 100% of the top RMS power they can handle and that Boss amp is advertised about outputting enough power to get in that range.
jason  Jan 08, 2020 (Staff)
A
It would work.... but if you are really thinking about these subs you should get a better amp. Like Kicker or Kenwood. I've never been a fan of Boss though to begin with.

Q
How are these wired inside the box?
michael  Nov 03, 2017
1 answer
A
They don't specifically state how they are wired but to present the final 2 ohm load at the box terminal, they'd have to be the Dual 2 Ohm voice coil models and wired in a series/parallel configuration.

Q
does anyone know what this enclosure is tuned at?
warpig  Jul 22, 2017
1 answer
A
Kicker does not publish the tuning frequency of this enclosure but it is made specifically for use with the 12" CompR subs which have a recommended port tuning frequency of 30Hz. You can contact Kicker directly to confirm if need be: 405-624-8583 Hope that helps My Bio: https://www.crutchfield.com/bio/Ryan

Q
Okay so what kind of amp am I looking for when I buy these subs? How many watts do I need out of the amp? I'm guessing two ohms? I'm new to this, if someone could recommend a decent amp from a reputable company for under $200, you'd be awesome!

Q
Can this be changed to a 1 ohm load?
brian  May 21, 2016
1 answer
A
Sorry, no. They are pre-loaded and wired at the manufacturer. The Dual 2 Ohm Voice Coil subwoofers cannot be re-wired to present a final 1 Ohm load anyway. You can purchase two of the 12" CompR Dual 4 ohm voice coil models separately and a ported enclosure to mount them in: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_206CWR124/Kicker-43CWR124.html & http://www.crutchfield.com/p_777BB1221V/item.html You could wire these to present the final 1 Ohm load you require. I hope that helps! My Bio: http://www.crutchfield.com/Support/Bio.aspx?bio=5
