Kicker's new RT truck boxes

- In this video we look at the new Kicker truck boxes. Kicker has released a new slim line of woofers and made new pre-loaded boxes with them. The Kicker RT woofer comes in a 8",10", and 12" with boxes in each size. Each box also features a passive radiator for deep bass and is available in 2 or 4 ohm.
Installed the 12" version and the KXA400.1 amp last year in my BMW X5. Amazing power for the buck.
I have a pair of these boxes (10" version) in my crew cab with about 800 watts in total... absolute animals. They're not extraordinarily deep, but the punch is absolutely insane.
Does anybody else want the little guy to say "It's a Sledgehammer"?
lmao!
😂😂😂😂
Build her a cake or something
😂
The best explanation of a passive radiator I heard.
I have a single RT 12" in my F150, wired to 1ohm, in a custom sealed box, overpowered with 800W RMS. It sounds amazing!
What year is your truck?
@@toon-in-fishing5719 2012 supercrew cab.
Have they handled the extra watts or have they blown?
@@jonathangodinez304 I've blown one already. My unit goes up to 40. I don't go past 35 with the bass up. It hits. I'm installing a 2nd one and upgrading my mids.
I've got the 12" and friggin LOVE it! I saw the 8" version too. That thing is so tiny and could fit anywhere!
firebirdude2 sweet!
firebirdude2 what kind of car did you put it in. Looking for a shallow box for my camaro because I need the trunk space
Fernando must have had that price is right show off a prize mentality lol. I enjoy all of your vids
+jmar662 jmar662 thank you.
The real question is how do they sound? The old school ones sounded good for what they were I had a set in my s10. What I would like to see them bring back is the old school 6x9 & 4x6 of the early 90's the 6x9's pounded crazy hard & the D20 tweeter sounded fantastic...! I had them in 3 different cars/trucks. My hardbody being a standard cab left very little room so I reworked the door panels with a spacer ring and fiberglass to make them fit & wow did they pound:) I would pay good money for a set if I could find a new pair.
I had those 6x9s and they were amazing in my opinion. Had my car broken into and they just took the subs. I ended up just rolling with the 6x9s or long time as they sounded so great.
Phoenix gold have gone the same way. I have a feeling one slim 8” JL sub in their 5” deep box would sound better.
theyre pretty good i have the 6.75" version and sounds like a 10". with the box design
Great Informational video...! This was very helpful and I've been patiently waiting for something in place of using just one 10" comp style truck enclosure box.
Nice effort dad and son has put together to make this amazing video.
really nice great video... thanks for the detailed information!!! hope to c more vids like this
The 8 inch box has PLENTY of kick for my Tacoma and fits in the factory location (with 5 Star Magic). Highly recommend!
Brandon Casso what year Tacoma ? I’m having problems finding a sub that fits my 2018 TRD Pro.
@@mimikyuthepokemon3489 I have the 10inch kicker in the video in mines for the 2018 Tacoma
@@SmokinClownSD the 10 inch fits behind the backseat of the tacoma?
@@alexgarcia3900 they do. I have 10's in this brand
@@SmokinClownSD ok cousin. Looks like I'll be buying a 10 inch for my double cab. Thanks for the information. You have it behind the seat with the oem plastics covers back there or did have to take the panel out?
Had a pair back in the day , they sounded real good one day i decided to take one apart and the inside of the passed radiator was made of cardboard, i couldn't believe that but it sounded great.lol
Got to love UA-cam Bass LOL
Guys I've read threw the questions and that there's stickers hiding screws great job of hiding them that way I thought it was glued but thank God it's just stickers and now I can just change out my blown speaker without having to destroy the box because it fits perfect in my truck keep up the great work guys I'm a long time kicker fan I'm 55 years old now and still booming and can't wait till third quarter let's here I want a pair of solo baric X 10S rock on brothers 😎
One thing about kicker is they might not get as low as other subs in There class but they get louder and usley have a harder hitting bass. But most importantly is they will last forever if you take care of them. There probably one of the longest lasting subs there is.
I have the 10” 2ohm and it blew a voicecoil with a alpine 450x1 amp that puts out the rated 400w rms at 2ohm.
Yes it is possible. Power is not the only thing that can blow speakers, distortion can blows speakers also.
yea mine blew up 3 weeks after I bought what a waste of money
@@BadWolf507 sendingmineout tommrw
Sounds like its cancelling out bad.
I have a 6 3/4 inch for my chevy sonic and the thing is so small but puts out just the right anount if bass for a good sound stage.
thanks for the product tour! another great video!
rog3775 thank you
With that face at the end i wont sound right 😂
kicker subs sound very good and can take a beating...
royce robinson I would agree, these are a nice improvement from last years.
I have the 10 inch. They sound great! Still plenty of room in my trunk!
This ain’t bad for the truck guys that don’t wanna do hair tricks! Good deal
I love my comp rt 12 enclosure I got it right when the pandemic hit. So I fried the coil after a month or 2. Send to kicker they send me a CompRT12 1ohm I slugg it daily with a sealed CompVr 10 sealed as well
4:06 suena chido
Hey thanks for the video
Great info and video
I personally think they sound better than a port for lower wattage applications.
AND passive radiators don't "boom 1 note bass"... it's a nice compromise, especially for us acoustic suspension port haters.
How do you get the sub separated from the box if there’s no screws?
they sound like their bottoming out. I thought shallow mounts were only to be used in sealed enclosures.
Edd Cruz the audio really sucks, bass kind of kills the mic. No shallow sub sound really good in ported and bandpass boxes. The reason you don't see it much, is it kind of defeats the purpose of the shallow mount. Rockfords new T1 shallow woofers come preloaded in a ported box.
Anyone know if any of these will fit behind the rear seat of a 2021 extended cab F150?
Yes they do bro
Could I put an additional 12” CompRt in place of the radiator?
I would say no, that box has the airspace for 1 active sub, that radiator isn't moving as much air as a real sub would. its acting more as a port with resistance.
ya i bet you feel like i do i thought i bought 2 12s online now ima fit and get a Kicker L7 if ima have 1 sub
Just buy 2 😂
You could put 2 active subs in their place that use the same liter size box tho. I think some from Hertz will fit them from memory.
Thanks guys
Would look cooler if the radiator cone matched the actual sub.
The cone on the radiator is weighted much differently than the cone & dustcap on the actual subwoofer. Different design for different applications.
Makes it look like it has a black eye
I think the cvt sounds way better i have the 10rt in my 2016 tacoma im a real bass head so the rt is not enough I'm going to try an L7T shallow 12 inch with a boss 4000 armor mono block amp i think that will definitely be more to my liking. imo go with the L7 shallow if you want to rock the block.
If you want big bass you need to stay away from shallow subs and boxes. They're designed to save space and have compromises.
@@alexgarcia3900 yeah bigger speakers are better then shallow subs in my predicament I wanted the space in the end I ended up going with a 12w 6 jl audio in a custom console style box the base was insane on that setup however when comparing the kicker rt from past experience the kicker cvt hit alot harder.
Excelente amigos. Saludos.
the pain , the plain
These sound a bit better in bigger enclosures for some reason.
At kicker and crutchfield says it is 48trtp122 1 speaker with a dvc at 2ohm but it looks Like svc but I'm hooking up a rockford fosgate amp and been building systems since 1992 and I don't want to Break the enclosure so 2 ?? Is is this just connect to wire ports to play at 2ohm bc I don't want it at 1ohm is do I wire it at the amp to make it 2ohm ty u guys are awesome 👏
Why not use down firing speakers... different from angled straight forward speakers..
Can you stach these w/o them going out of phase? One under the trunk floor and one on trunk floor; leaving you most of the usable trunk cargo space. Thanx for the edUmakation LOL
SHEET !!!!! Lanzar IS BETHERRRRRRR !!!!!!!
I have a 19 golf GTI and have been looking in to 10' version of these would that be a good choice?.
Thanks, I enjoy my morning coffee with these LOL. question, are the radiators able to be purchased separately??
jmaslin I don't know, we have never asked. Good question. Maybe from their parts department. They are not listed on the price sheet.
thank you
Five Star Car Stereo I have two older cvr kickers do you think if i add passive radiator to each one can it makes a difference by the way they're 8inch and each one are in there own box same length like the 8inch enclosure
julio bello probably not at this point. They are broken in to there current box. Changing it my hurt them more then help them.
how did it sound? was it smooth and low? looked like it was distorting badly. the radiator is way too light.
What would be louder with the same amp? A 12” kicker 300watt or the 8” RT ?
12
I got the 10 inch version along with a jl jx500/1d and it hits pretty hard imo, doesn't shake the shit out of your vehicle, but it's loud and it's a good back massager, it sounds really nice too
Is it the camera or something else cause that demo you did makes the sub sound blown.
It's the mic. It's 99% of all mics unfortunately. That's why all the subwoofer demos on YT sound like butt.
Codyyy the 12
But the box is twice as big to make room the passive radiator.. I don't see it saving any space!
"U lying...." 0:47 😂😂😂😂
Hey guys, which one will fit well in the back seat of 2015 silverado double cab? 😀
I own a 93 chevy cheyenne 1500 single cab that i want to put some thump in. These kickers think will fit
But do they excell for Low Frequency bass with no distortion. I can hear ratling noise in the end of video
Which has more bass the compRt truck box or the L7T truck box, looking for a single cab s10
@ Five Star Car Stereo.....ARE THESE BETTER THAN A VENTED BOX W/ COMP RT12 SLIMS???...THANKS
Would you think this sub would sound better than Rockford p300-12t
I can't find any specs about frequency range...
Hi is there anyway for opening or removing the subs mine brand new stopped working want to throw the meter on it any tips?
Is a passive radiator just a passive radiator or is each one “tuned”
Can you please tell me if the 12 inch version will fit behind the seat of my 2014 Toyota Tundra?
I remember those
great vid! i hava a question, how do you exactly remove the sub from the box? i need to replace it.
incomparable2312 there are stickers over the screw holes. They are the flat panels around the woofer not the beveled ones. Peel off the sticks and you will see the screws
could you add a second sub if you wanted instead of the radiator?
I have an acura 3.2tl with a kicker 10 truck box. I want deeper bass , would comprt 12 help me accomplish that.
Will those sound nice in a Toyota Tundra Crew Max Limited, or fit?
Am i better off buying two 12's ?
yes
What if we were to replace the radiator with another sub🤔
Not enough air space in the box.
i wonder if it would fit behind the seat of my 2017 toyota tacoma with out having to remove anything
Jessica Makowiecki does it still have the plastic on the back of the set? If so you will want to remove that.
Get the 10 inch at least. The 6.75 inch and the 8 inch sucks...
How do you remove the woofer from the box? The screws are covered. I blew my single 12 R
I actually watched this video to learn how, and it’s simple. You can see at 0:53 that you have to take off these little plastic covers on the rim to take it off. There’s 4 in total.
I see u commented a month ago if you blew the 12. call kicker and your warranty should cover. don't tell them you blew it. say it stopped working i have the 12rt voice coil locked on me. im mailing it out to tommorw n I'll see it back in like 10 days
kicker for life
Do you know how to remove the drive kicker? Is there a plastic cover that covers the screws?
Has anyone put one of these behind the seat in a crew cab ram? I've got a 16, but should be the same back to 09.
Will the 8” fit behind the 2017 Tundra Crewmax or Pioneer ts-swx2002 be a better choice?
I'd go kicker... Never been impressed by any pioneer subwoofer
The passive radiator does not age well. The surround usually comes apart and not particularly loud . I do not recommend them.
How do these sound compared to a Pioneer TS-SWX2502? Thanks dudes
Soooooo I have these, and I was curious to know If I can take that passive radiator off and put a sub in its place.
You definitely can but just because you can doesn't mean you should. It wouldn't be recomended at all
@@alexgarcia3900 why not? Can't I port it and it be the same as the passive radiator?
would the passive radiator be like a ported box? if the air doesn't come out the passive radiator?
+Dat Tepo yes it similar
Will this fit behind the seat of a 2017 f150 super crew?
I would suggest to grab a tape measure. And write down these measurements he is giving us.
I need that box can it be done with 2 subwoofers?? I got a truck with a 3rd row seat
What amp do you guys recommend for two of the 12 inch 2ohm?
Been wondering the same question but with two 10 inch....... ? Did you ever figure this out
@@frogglocc1255 I tried a re mono amp 1000.1 and it was good but needed more power I was looking for a bigger re amp but ended up getting a skar mono amp for my set up it is a 1500 rms. They sound really good.
What amp would go with this set up on a 12”?
I went with a 1 channel 600 rms Kicker amp...
what's better sealed box or ported box?? I have a 2006 kia amanti!! I have 2 12inch kickers and a 1500 watts hifonic amp for them the box are sealed but do u think ported is better??
George Rangel if you have the room and you like fat bass, ported.
thank u u guys are always helpful love the videos
George Rangel thank you anytime
Most people don't know when or why to port a box . Sealed boxes will at some point of excursion be fighting the other speaker at a certain volume level ,wich means that it has limitations in the field of spl. Spl ( sound pressure level) refers to the amount of air that is moving past a certain point . Most people think that you hear bass and that is tru to a small extent . In the bass world it is felt not heard ,spl is the air pressure moving around your body . When you port a box you allow the speaker more room for excursion bc the air can escape the box and not push back on the speaker, thus more air movement ( spl).down side to ported boxes is that the port is considered and built around what frequency response of the intended music to be played . Thus means it will only perform at it's best in that hertz frequency and not so well at any other . It's like tuning a carb on a car if you will .
Would it sound good if I put one of these 12’s in my 2017 Malibu?
Each one plays something different... bad idea
Will the 12 " fit in a 2017 Tacoma ??
How do I remove the speaker from the box
Can you replace the radiator with a subwofer ?
Would it fit 05 silverado crew cab
Sunfire did that with their home subs
It has been around for a long time. The first Kicker box ever made had one.
Hello, Will the 12" fit under supercrew seat? and is it really boomy? Thank you
Arctic Adobo it will probably stick out. I would call it medium boomy
Thanks for the reply. Can you recommend a boomy subwoofer? My amp is only 500W
But I want a twin subs in a slim line
How do they sound though?
would the 10' fit behine the back seat of 03 tacoma 4 door
willonce No
Would you be able to install 4 slim 12s and remove the useless piece.
you guys are cool.like watching the videos .do you carry American bass?if you do can do one about there 8in sub.
melvin martinez haha, funny thing Paul's brother owns American Bass( Paul is our boss). They started the company together. We oddly do very little with the product.
just wondering cause I have 4 of them and what size of box I need for them for a tahoe 2007
melvin martinez have you tried giving them a call?
can 10" fit comfortably not sticking out in my 2014 crew cab Titan
+L Slaughter I would think so
Five Star Car Stereo thank you for the fast response
Unbelievable
