KICKER 15 Inch Car Subwoofers

Choose a 15-inch Kicker Subwoofer With Managed Impedance and a Stable Enclosure

Find a quality 15-inch subwoofer for your vehicle from Kicker and enjoy enhancing your car's audio system to boost your favorite songs as you commute to work. This brand offers 15-inch subwoofers that are part of the 2 Omega and 4 Omega product lines. Both of these come in round or square configurations.

Single or dual subwoofers are designed specifically for use in vehicles. These audio components are designed to be enclosed in a cabinet, which is a box or tube that houses the sub. You can also find Kicker subs that are simple voice coils attached to a magnet with a large cone. Each cone is what thrusts forward and backward to the center from where the sound is projected. You will need a mounting appliance if the subwoofer is not housed and secured through an anchoring system. Kicker’s enclosures support woofers in 8-, 10-, 12-, and 15-inch diameters. Some are optimal for single subs and others as dual subwoofer enclosures. The brand's enclosures also offer a choice between vented and sealed boxes.

Here are some features that represent the power output of a woofer:

• Watt capacity: Watts are a unit of raw power and measure the actual transfer of energy in speakers. The watt capacity of the 15-inch subwoofer ranges between 1,000 and 1,100. The watts these use are dependent on the space in your vehicle, your personal tastes, and what is to be transmitted within a car’s output. This amount of power is flexible in achieving a number of audio processes and with low frequencies of 30.6 Hz.
• Distortion-free: Distortion is an inconsistency in the original wavelength of air and can be eliminated through the right power output and sensitivity relationship. It’s important to be distortion-free, as the subwoofer uses a frequency level that can be felt more than heard. This sensation uses a great deal of power, and that power must be controlled through the power handling limit of a speaker. The limit for these models rests at 1,100, which is rated slightly higher than the overall power output the woofer has. This handling is also noted as a sustained measure, so the sound continues to be played from the sub's thrusted cones.
• Audio input and stereo output: Be aware that an audio signal is used for connecting the Kicker subwoofer to an amplifier that will collect signals from a disc, MP3, or computer and then transmit it to the subwoofer, where power will generate sound. Your other option is to use two signals, which are commonly known as stereo.

The lowest range that humans can often hear without difficulty is 20 Hz, which results in a strong pulsing sensation that’s felt to a high degree. That sensation is possible through the Kicker 2 Omega and 4 Omega subs are rated at 30.6 Hz. These types of low frequencies work in conjunction with treble that complete a car audio system’s dynamic sounds. The sound system of a vehicle isn't powered by subwoofers alone but can get a boost in thrust and percussive tones on the lower decibel end.
