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.

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.

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.

Have had it for a couple months hooked up to 500 w rockville with matching ohm..... 2 weeks ago started sounding funny now sounds like a blown speaker. This was my first speaker based on recommendations from Friends on a kicker and I am not very impressed my Rockville is still sounding really really good.

Connected these to a 500 RMS Rockville amp connected to a pioneer head unit and push them to the limit many times definitely donāt hit as good as a large box but thatās the sacrifice you make for space.. still sounds really good. If anyone says it blew up, they probably put way too much power to itā¦. You canāt put a 5000 watt rms amp to a 500w rms subā¦..have them in the back of a CRV that I took the backseats out to use as a work truck I throw stuff on them all the time like tool bags and ladders Still holding up just fine

Overall sounds good. The deep bass takes a nose dive, because of the lack of air space. Still soild bass though for my wifes van.

I recently bought a 10ā Kicker hideaway sub (model HS10) to replace the gargantuan box loaded with the 12ā Kicker Iāve had for at least a decade. Middle age requires more trunk space than Iād anticipated. Who knew? Anyway, that compact 10 sucked. I mean, I knew Iād have to compromise and the hideaway 10 wouldnāt be as good but, I didnāt expect it to be as bad as it turned out to be. Itās 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 10ā I wasn't wrong. This shallow 12 performs nearly as well as the beast in a behemoth box that Iāve moved from trunk to trunk over the years. Fair warning, Iām not a bass head and donāt 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.

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.
