We show the existence of a type of excitation, which we term as "gap compactonlike," within the gap of the linear spectrum of a system of coupled Kortweg-de Vries equations with linear and nonlinear dispersions. Since the solutions lie in the gap region of the spectra, they avoid resonance with the linear oscillatory wave and, therefore, do not decay into radiations. These types of solutions are important in energy localization and transport in polymers and biopolymers, optical systems, etc.
