Kicker CompRT 10 inch Shallow-Mount Subwoofer

Product Information

Overview

The Kicker CompRT 10" subwoofer revolutionizes shallow-mount bass performance by utilizing advanced SoloKon™ technology and forced-air cooling to deliver exceptional sound quality in an ultra-thin profile. With a mounting depth under 4 inches, this all-weather subwoofer provides flexibility for installation in compact spaces while maintaining the power handling capabilities of full-size alternatives.

Revolutionary Thin-Mount Design

The CompRT 10" redefines what's possible in shallow-mount subwoofers through Kicker's innovative engineering approach. The unique framework and signature red double stitching create an outstanding bond between the improved Santoprene surround and polypropylene woofer cone. This construction methodology ensures the subwoofer sounds full and deep while maintaining its remarkably thin profile, making it ideal for under-seat installations in trucks or behind-seat mounting in UTVs.

Advanced Thermal Management

Kicker engineers developed the exclusive Forced-Air Cooling™ system specifically for the CompRT series, resulting in 20% cooler operation compared to previous models. This sophisticated heat management system utilizes the motor structure to actively pull air across the voice coils, significantly improving reliability during extended high-power operation. The enhanced cooling capability allows the subwoofer to handle 400 watts RMS continuously without thermal compression or performance degradation.

All-Weather Construction

Built for versatility, the CompRT 10" features UV-resistant cone and surround materials that maintain their integrity whether installed in vehicles, boats, or outdoor recreational equipment. The weatherproof design ensures consistent performance across various environmental conditions, from desert trails to marine applications. The full-coverage sealed steel basket provides complete protection of the motor assembly, guaranteeing reliable operation regardless of where your adventures take you.

Features

Features:

The Kicker CompRT 10" shallow-mount subwoofer combines innovative engineering with practical design to solve real-world installation challenges. The dual voice coil configuration provides maximum flexibility for system integration, allowing configurations at 2 ohms when wired in parallel or 8 ohms when wired in series.

The SoloKon™ technology represents a breakthrough in shallow-mount subwoofer design, delivering the deep bass response typically associated with conventional depth woofers. This proprietary technology ensures that despite the ultra-thin profile, the subwoofer maintains exceptional low-frequency extension and impact.

Installation versatility stands as a key advantage of the CompRT series. The shallow mounting depth makes it perfect for applications where traditional subwoofers won't fit, including under-seat installations in pickup trucks, behind-seat mounting in extended cab vehicles, and integration into motorcycle touring packs. The weatherproof construction expands possibilities to include marine applications, UTVs, and other outdoor recreational vehicles.

The enhanced Forced-Air Cooling™ system actively manages heat dissipation, allowing sustained high-power operation without performance degradation. This advanced thermal management ensures reliability during extended listening sessions and protects the voice coils from damage due to excessive heat buildup.

Build quality reflects Kicker's commitment to durability. The injection-molded polypropylene cone resists flexing under high excursion, maintaining accurate sound reproduction even at elevated volume levels. The Santoprene surround with signature red double stitching not only provides visual appeal but ensures long-term reliability through superior adhesion between components.

EBP Calculator

Choosing the right enclosure for your subwoofer isn’t guesswork — it’s science. The Efficiency Bandwidth Product (EBP) is a simple calculation that uses a driver’s Fs (resonance frequency) and Qes (electrical Q) to determine whether it performs best in sealed, ported, or both types of boxes.

  • EBP under 50 → Works best in sealed enclosures for tighter, more controlled bass.
  • EBP over 100 → Better suited for ported designs where efficiency and output are the priority.
  • EBP between 50–100 → Flexible enough to perform well in either design, depending on system goals.

Use our interactive calculator below to compare subwoofers, see where each model falls, and make an informed decision on the best enclosure type for your setup.
