Frequently asked questions

The KICKER 48TRTP122, with its 12-inch thin down-firing design, is versatile enough to fit in a variety of vehicles, from compact cars to larger SUVs and trucks. Its compact size makes it ideal for fitting under seats or in tight spaces where traditional subwoofers might not fit.

Yes, the KICKER 48TRTP122 can be used with a variety of amplifiers, but it's best matched with an amplifier that supports a 2-Ohm load. Ensure your amplifier can handle the subwoofer's power requirements for optimal performance.

The passive radiator in the KICKER 48TRTP122 helps enhance bass response without the need for additional air space or a larger enclosure. It allows the subwoofer to produce deeper, more powerful bass compared to traditional sealed or ported boxes in a compact form factor.

Installing the KICKER 48TRTP122 involves connecting it to your vehicle's audio system's amplifier, ensuring proper wiring for the 2-Ohm impedance, and securely mounting the enclosure to prevent movement. It's recommended to follow the manufacturer's instructions or consult a professional installer for the best results.

  • Great solution for an SUV or other open space vehicle
If you want your music to kick, this will do the trick. If you want to annoy your neighbors, it won't do you any favors. (end of bad rhymes, I promise) Really good for people who want a sub that can pick up a little low-mid-bass slack, and kicks pretty good. A high slope crossover from even 200hz or a low slope from 120hz and this sub can help fill in some of the midbass that the other spx can't pull off. It's also deep and tight. This will not win any SPL awards, but I'm telling ya, if it's about the music and not about rearranging your hair, this will do nicely at a pretty good price. ... show more

  • Finally makes a "premium" audio system sound premium.
I recently bought a 2023 Mazda 3 hatchback and specifically paid extra to get the trim level with the "premium" Bose audio system, but I was immediately let down by the bass. The little 4" Bose subwoofer just wasn't cutting it, even with the bass EQ turned to +10 and treble turned to -10. I have it powered by a Kicker Key 500.1 monoamp, which is being fed the signal that originally went to the Bose subwoofer. And let me say, it is PERFECT now. I have the bass and treble EQs back to 0 and it all hits exactly like it should. It doesn't shake the mirrors or body panels off, but it could totally get it to rattle if you really wanted it to and you tuned your amp right. I love that it fits the back of my Mazda so perfectly and I can throw stuff on top of it. To hold it in place, I've actually just screwed some square pieces of ABS plastic into the "feet" of the enclosure, which I've stuck some velcro onto. And then I have the opposite side stuck onto the trunk liner I have back there, and that holds it in place perfectly. ... show more

  • Amazing Bass!
I come from the old school days of Lanzar and Orion Red amps. I've installed everything from two fifteens, down to eights in all of my vehicles. Having an Escalade I was concerned about some reviews stating this sub wasn't big enough for SUVs. While I am unable to speak for their experiences, I can definitely speak for mine. This sub is absolutely perfect! I paired it with a Pioneer 500w RMS amplifier, and this thing performs great! Under no circumstances did I think it would hit as hard, low, and clean as it does. My son and I installed it about a week ago, and I still need to tune the crossover and gain. Even with the bass adapter turned all the way down, and the bass settings on my Kenwood deck low, this Kicker still sounds amazing. I don't write reviews, but I felt compelled to give Kicker credit for such a good product. If my experience changes I'll update the review. You can't go wrong with this sub. ... show more

  • Speaker locked up
This is basically an expensive subwoofer box. If you do buy this I’d go ahead and get some replacement speakers because you will need them !

  • Big Sound, Smaller Package
I recently bought a 10” Kicker hideaway sub (model HS10) to replace the gargantuan box loaded with the 12” Kicker I’ve had for at least a decade. Middle age requires more trunk space than I’d anticipated. Who knew? Anyway, that compact 10 sucked. I mean, I knew I’d have to compromise and the hideaway 10 wouldn’t be as good but, I didn’t expect it to be as bad as it turned out to be. It’s a complete letdown and a disgrace to the brand IMO. I did some looking and stumbled onto shallow loaded boxes like this one. Figured it would have to be an improvement over the hideaway 10— I wasn't wrong. This shallow 12 performs nearly as well as the beast in a behemoth box that I’ve moved from trunk to trunk over the years. Fair warning, I’m not a bass head and don’t listen to rap. But, for oi, country, street punk, rock, metal, ska, industrial, and classical? I can certainly attest that the sound is VERY impressive. ... show more

  • Sounds great
I have a 2022 ford explorer xlt and it fit perfectly with an amp without losing any space in the back of the truck. Definitely enough sound that comes out of just 1 singular 12” sub

  • Clear Quality Bass
I started off with a 15-inch ported subwoofer from Skar Audio but it took up too much room so I needed to replace it eventually. So I bought this kicker subwoofer to still get my bass fix. Right away I noticed I needed to tune my equalizers, crossovers, and timings as it wasn't really blending that well with my 500w 6.5" front speakers. I spent about a week tweaking it while I went to work until I finally hit the sweet spot for my crossovers. I let my front speakers cut off at around 65-70hz and the subwoofer do all the work from 32hz to 63hz. It's recommended that the packaged is tuned to 35hz for clarity sake. My old ported box had some like 25hz tuning. Anyways, I noticed I was missing that deep bass that my old subwoofer would give me. Of course, that's the trade off for going with a smaller box and one that was closed for space convenience. Once everything was setup, it took me awhile to adjust to the sound clarity of an enclosed subwoofer. Kick drums are so responsive and clear that it made my tweeter sound a bit harsher. So My old spl set up used to round out those high frequencies. Now those high frequencies are more pronounced so I had to adjust them to be a bit lower and cut down on some of the higher frequencies on my equalizers. That seem to do the job and my music sounds so much more natural and super clear! I am starting to hear things in music I never heard before. Quite impressive. This subwoofer really does its best to emulate deep bass with great accuracy. 4/5 stars imo ... show more

  • Hits harder than I expected.
I was a little reluctant to get it because of the size. But it's so damn good. I used it in my rsx and turned down it bumped like crazy. Won't shake the building but will shake the car. Great for cars with not much space, small cars, and trucks. I put a 130 pound robot on it and it simply did not care. Only thing that happened was the carpet getting ripped a little from a jagged edge. ... show more
