The Kicker TRTP82 down-firing 8" CompRT subwoofer enclosure in an upgrade and improvement on one of the best loaded enclosures available. This 8" CompRT loaded box comes with a passive radiator to give you the increased output you get from a ported box, but
without the port noise and without the extra space needed for a ported enclosure. This box is truly amazing. You can mount it nearly anywhere. It can fit under the rear seat of a truck, you can put it behind the seat in a single cab truck and face it backwards, and if you put it in the trunk, you have a ton of different mounting options which do not eat up all of
your storage room.
From a sound and output perspective, you are not sacrificing anything. For the money, this might be the best loaded enclosure on the market. The bass response is tight and accurate.
This year at CES we were talking to one of the head installers at Kicker. He was telling a story about installing the 10" version of this box in a friend's car. His friend told him, "Look, I don't want two 12's." The head Kicker installer replied and told him he understood and then said, "I am going to install something for you, but I am not going to tell you what it is and I am not going to let you see it. You just need to hear it first." When they played the first song the friend said, "I told you, I don't want two 12's." They got out of the car and went to the back of the vehicle. When they want back to see what was there, his friend's response was, "That came out of, THAT?" These enclosures are amazing. You will not be disappointed.
