Kicker CompVT 08CVT654SVC Subwoofer 165mm 4 Ohm 6.5 Inch Overview
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.
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.

Kicker CompVT 08CVT654SVC Subwoofer 165mm 4 Ohm 6.5 Inch Review
This is a very small sub and that worried me a little when I was buying it but it was the only thing I'd be able to fit into my rear deck without too much modification. If you are going to put the sub in your trunk I don't think it would be enough but being in the rear deck (and you can also put it into most 6.5" front door slots) is really nice. This is not a great sub if you want to be one those jerks who thinks they're cool bumpin down the road but it sounds really nice. It has great control and takes the strain off of my speakers which allows their mids and highs to be better. This sub is right for you if you just want a nice sound to your music, not if you want to shake your car.
