Amazon.com Product Description Last year KICKER showed the world that slim and hard-hitting can go together in a true high-performance subwoofer. Now, we've taken it two steps slimmer with the new CompVT 6.5- and 8-inch Subwoofers, giving you even more legit bass options in a smaller space.  Comp performance in a slimmer package.

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.
