Besides its wicked good looks, the Comp comes with serious muscle, including double stitching on the surround, coil-cooling perimeter venting, and flex-killing ISD (Inverted Structural Dome).

The larger voice coils, coil wire with intense heat tolerance, highly engineered top plates, and immense power handling still remain, providing the most and best bass from any subwoofer in its class. And here's another first from KICKER--Spiralead tinsel-lead technology for even more strength and durability.

With prices going up on everything else around, the Comp makes perfect sense for any factory upgrade. With the ribbed surround, yellow stitching, nickel-plated push terminals, and a basket design that includes a stylish logo trim ring, the Comp looks as good as it sounds and lets you know who's in the house.

DS-Series Coaxial Speakers provide the cost-effective ammo to keep up with your bass upgrade. Click to enlarge.

DS Speakers are the best value for serious, drop-in upgrades in your doors. The woofers bear a polypropylene cone, UV-treated ribbed surround, enduring voice coil, and an interior-pleasing fresh look. The half-inch tweeters take the performance cues of higher-end coaxials, using a super-strong neodymium magnet and PEI (polyether imide) dome for louder, better-sounding highs.

The DS Series comes in eight different sizes, including the new DS650 with 6.5-inch midrange drivers. DS Coaxials fit any speaker cutout, starting from the 3.5-inch DS350 up to a handy 6 x 8 DS680 if your ride requires them. The 6 x 9 offering is actually the thrashin' DS6930 3-way system which mixes in an additional 2-inch mid.

DS5250 Features

CIMP (Curvilinear Injection-Molded Polypropylene Woofer Cones)
A high performance composite, which remains rigid, minimizes cone flex and lowers harmonic distortion. The CIMP consists of a one-piece, injection-molded polypropylene material that moves as a piston, exhibiting power and control.

Utilizes a high strength steel basket, features a low-profile open design, and provides a solid foundation for the precision-aligned motor assembly.

Polypropylene cone with UV-treated ribbed surround.

Enhanced BAM (Basket and Motor) Assembly
Utilizes a high strength steel basket, features a low-profile open design, and provides a solid foundation for the precision-aligned motor assembly.

Optimized Polyfoam Ribbed Surround Radius
This allows extended cone excursion for additional bass output and higher SPL, and couples the suspension into a conjoined linear-motion body.

High-Temp Polyimide Film Voice Coil Former
improves sonic and conductive properties, and prevents thermal-electrical meltdown.

PEN Dome Tweeter with Neodymium Magnet
Provides a smooth high frequency response with quick, detailed and spatially-correct imaging. PEN is an acronym for the space age material "biaxially oriented polypropylene naphthalate film"--your parents' tax dollars probably paid for its development, you might as well enjoy it.

High-Power Tinsel Lead Wires
These eliminate broken leads and power loss, due to the common use of "insufficient-gauge" lead wires.

Ferro-Fluid
Cooled tweeter voice-coil extends the high frequency transducer's life span.

View control diagram. Click to enlarge.

Five Bands of EQ
The equalizer portion of the Kicker KQ5 has five bands carefully placed across the audible spectrum to allow you to boost or cut specific frequencies and fine-tune your system's performance. Each band has a control which moves its center frequency up and down to precisely target the portion of the music you wish to control. Each band also has a control that allows you to boost or cut information at the chosen frequency up to 12dB.

Dual Input Capability
The KQ5 features two different inputs, for use with just about any kind of units normally found in a car stereo system: video, video game, minidisc, portable CD, factory radio or aftermarket stereos. This allows the use of two source units in a system. Separate gain controls allow for level matching of both source units in order to prevent hearing or speaker damage.

Remote Bass Level Controller
If you are using a Kicker amplifier that has a Remote Bass Level Control jack, the amplifier can be controlled from the KQ5.

Input/Output Clipping LEDs
Visual indicators to aid in setting input gain and output level controls.

Dual Illumination Colors
Set the illumination switch on the rear of the chassis for green or amber lighting to match your vehicle's dashboard or to fit your personal taste (EQ slider lights are always red).
