Product Comments
Put two of these under the back seat of a 09 GMC 1500 Crew with a Rockford 500.2 (would have bought a Kicker but had this left over from an old system). This system sounds AWESOME especially for the size of the boxes.
I recently purchased a pair of cvt 6.5" subs, and let me tell you...IMPRESSED!!! a local audio shop told me they would be no good and wouldn't do the job, but of coarse, they're wrong. I installed them into my 08 mazda BT50 single cab, removed the stock 6.5"s and put these in, it's no pro set up but dam they go hard for what are. AUSSIE THUNDER FROM DOWN UNDER
Hitting hard enough to need the next step, sound dampen the truck....2006 Nissan Frontier crew cab.
Embarassing the kids around the block is easy. The car audio industry is a maze of vendors, clouded by fancy marketing schemes, neon lights, pre-packaged in what might seem to you as a "cool" designed bandpass box, amped with 1.1 Gigawatts of power and an amazing flux-capacitor.
Kicker is producing real results. The tech information is right on the mark. Not a quality other speaker companies can admit to.
These CVT speakers are the extremely versitile.
Now I have two custom built boxes that I can change out in minutes.
One enclosure with the rear seat installed and two CVT8's. The second enclosure, with the rear seat removed. 5.0Cft enclosure ported for the 8's and sealed single CVT12 between them.
So powerful and loud that I had to post a warning sign!
i have to kicker cvx 12s with a memphis 2000 watt amp and capacitor! ive got to say that kickers are the nicest subs ive ever had! i also have all kicker QS speakers in my car wit 12 kicker tweeters which are amplified to a memphis 250 watt amp! im thinkin about also putting a couple CVT in my trunk to go along wit the CVXs but idk yet...
I bought a set for my '06 Frontier crew cab. I installed these speakers in a ported box I custom built. I can't say enough about the incredible performance I am getting from these. I am running 500W RMS to them now and it seems they maybe able to take more.
I am awed by smooth bass line sounds that don't distrupt or are distorted by the bassdrum hits, and as advertised they hit hard.
I have used all different brands and size subs over the years from Bacustic, to Knwoods, infiniti, pie-oh-neers, and more. I have worked with a speaker that responds exactly as the specs dictate.
The CTV line is a very practical space saving design. The durability is extremely uncommon. This is a stand out product that is so commonly overrated by the competition. These Competition speakers are the ones the other's need to live up too.
From the price, to the outstanding build workmanship, these speakers offer more then boasting, they deliver the proof.
Kicker brand speakers are my speaker of choice. I have need to look anywhere else.
With the same creative inspiration that brought the world the 10- and 12-inch CompVTs in 2007, these subwoofers inherit the same technology running through the CVT family. Ventless, solid-pole design allows it to be mounted directly against the rear wall of a sealed or vented enclosure, permitting the CVT8 to perform with a mounting depth of less than 3-3/8 inches, and the CVT65 with less than 2-13/16 inches! Spring-loaded binding posts are also mounted differently than standard subwoofers to minimize size. And, you can subtract enclosure wall depth from the equation as well with a substitution steel “clearance” adapter plate.
Don’t let the smaller sizes suggest this is not a “true” subwoofer! The 8-inch CVT8 handles 200 watts RMS (400w peak) and the 6.5-inch CVT65 handles 150 watts RMS (300w peak). Each woofer’s injection-molded cone is shaped to provide maximum excursion from a slender basket, and a specialized four-layer voice coil provides the CVT the capabilities to work with large amounts of power, but in a slimmer package.
KICKER CVT subwoofers utilize many of the same characteristics as other KICKER subwoofers, like Spiralead™ tinsel-lead technology that allows for better strength, durability, and flexibility. Perimeter venting, high-temp coil wire, Uniplate™ backplate and pole, double-stitching, and logo trim ring around the steel basket’s outer edges are also features the CVT inherits. And with the cone’s modified spoke design, 360-degree back bracing, and ribbed Santoprene® surround, the CVT becomes another KICKER subwoofer bound to shake the car audio world.
