    I have the 10 inch version on the back floor of my 2020 F150. Overall, I'd say this lineup is outstanding bang for the buck. I knew I'd eventually be doing an audio upgrade when I purchased my truck, but I wanted more than a "behind the back seat" subwoofer. For my needs, the 10 inch model was the way to go. I still have plenty of room for all my fishing gear, and should I need to fold the back seats down, there's plenty of clearance. That being said, you need to keep your expectations realistic. This is not a full on "shake the leaves off the trees" unit, nor is it the "best of the best" sounding sub on the market. Don't let that deter you from a potential purchase, though. This is not a cheaply made sub, and the sound quality is legit. Worth noting....these boxes are SOLID. Don't worry about throwing your groceries or your gym bag on top of this thing. You ain't damaging this box without intent. This is a perfect sub for someone who doesn't wanna break the bank on a custom enclosure with ridiculously high priced components. If you just wanna plug, play, have instant bass and enjoy, this is definitely a good option to consider.

      I have a 12 coming and am excited for it. It's gonna be my first aftermarket sub. But I got a rsx and intend to take shit around with me in it since it's a hatch back. This I think will be perfect. I was thinking of mounting it to the back of the seats so when they fold it would be almost right next to me. But not sure if it is doable. I don't think so tbh but I haven't held one yet.

    I had some sick kicker free air setups back in the 90s, dual 12s really rocked. Built into the rear seat back using the whole trunk as a box.. I can't believe you've got a 1000 watts in your hand there. I've been out of the scene for almost 2 decades. I still have my old free air subs from 1994, and I liked the us acoustics amps in the early 2000s, still have them. Thinking about finally reinstalling a system into my current car.

    I have the KICKER TRPT122 Dual 12" down-firing subwoofer in my audi q5. Its a good REPLACEMENT for the factory sub only. A little more than the factory sub. I had mined modified by adding 1inch more in height to the legs, because it sounded like the speakers were hitting the floor. It did help a little. Your not going to shake the cars next too you. But what i can say that the box is very sturdy, dont worry about damaging it. I have d block 500watt amp on it. So remeber, Its a REPLACEMENT sub from the little sub in the trunk of a audi q5.

    • @moe4772

      I got the exact same one for my Escalade ESV and it sounded like total crap even with a 400wrms Class D amp. I honestly think that vehicle is too big for something that small in the trunk. I tried everything, no go. Then I decided to try the wife's cheapo Planet Audio 12 inch which is in a regular sealed box from ebay, lo and behold I got instant loud bass with excellent response down to about 25Hz! I'm guessing vehicle acoustics is the key but it's trial and error I guess which can get costly... I just hate the fact of having box to move around...

    I have a 2004 s10 crew cab. I have no room for subs. I bought the Kicker 43TCWRT672. I had to cut out the jack holder (the jack was long since lost). I am impressed with the bass output. By no means will it rattle the neighbors but inside the cab it is more than enough to add some defined lows.

      @@wal It was a weird looking poly woofer .With a flat Passive radiator.
      Flat passive radiators weren’t used often back then .Plus Kicker is probably one of the only companies who used passive radiators
      I think Pyle only made 1 model much later with a Passive Radiator
      Kicker has been using Passive Radiators since Atleast 1982? That I know of
      I think most companies just put. Speaker in a ported of sealed box .Market the crap out of it .Kicker Obviously innovates a lot of things
      The Solo baric was a huge game Changer .
      Before they created those .We had huge 1.5-3 cu DHT boxes for each woofer
      Just to get good low end
      I must say I had Kicker always needed smaller boxes then anyone else
      I went to Kicker because I wanted to run 4 12-‘s in my T-Bird .I have 4 Competition 12’s
      .I was running a Phoenix Gold 2125 driving all 4 .That amp has insane power .Plus 2-250’s
      One for front stage and one for rear stage
      That car rocked!!! I only had 450 watts rated power .Of course it was twice that
      But those Kickers hit !! Never failed 3 cars later lmao

    That's one of those situations where screwing the box down greatly increases the output since the woofer is firing against a solid surface. Also, not sure if you opened the pass through to the trunk, but that would likely improve the bass in the car.

    I use to have one of these and loved it upset my audio installer blew it up and denied it! Luckily I bought it at best buy and got a warranty and I instead got a pioneer 12 inch slim sub with the box and I used it with an alpine class d mono amp with 676 rms and on the box it was rated for 600.

    I actually remember the old school Stillwater Designs enclosures with a passive radiator.
    In the early ‘90s Kicker had two subwoofer lines under the Kicker by Stillwater Designs line; freeair and enclosed. We used four C18’s in our demo back then.
    Crazy how far they’ve come.

    Always wanted to try one of the radiators. Back in the day i did something similar. I had a 15 in pro studio woof in a molded plastic box with a 3 in round port. I popped it out an put a cheap white Westinghouse 4 woofer in the ports place. It was kimda cool because that tiny 4 in was making the 15 in cone flex an rattling crap!

Might be under powered only running 400 watts? However does complement mids and highs and is decent for such a small enclosure. Contacted kicker the 12 is tuned to 35hz and the 10 to 44hz. If that helps anyone...

    they are good if you want to fill out a 500 watt system. but like all boxes of that nature you need to add a small L bracket to each side to keep it from sliding around when driving and they are mostly designed to go under a back seat of ext, or crew cab trucks.

    I purchased one of these as I really did not want to give up my trunk space. I previously ran a single Rockford 12" P3 Punch in a ported box (1.8cuft), but needed another subwoofer for a second vehicle. While this Kicker did produce bass, I was not a fan of how it sounded. Perhaps because it was downfiring? I noticed it sounded a bit better if you pointed it upwards. Overall, the bass lacked depth and was felt hollow. I ended up returning it and had to pay about $30 for return shipping costs.
    Later I purchased a loaded Kicker L7S. Day and night difference. Huge improvement. I think I was expecting more, especially since the passive radiator looks like another 12 inch subwoofer. In reality, this should be viewed as a super slim sub that has a passive radiator as opposed to a port. A port is more efficient and will produce more output.
    This is not a bad solution, just dont expect the same type of bass as you would get with a L7 or P3 in a larger porter enclosure.

Its not just a small enclosure it sounds like a small enclosure, it doesn't hit very low and sounds like it's getting out of shape pretty easy. If you just want a bit more low end in your music fine but not for any real bumpin.....✌️

    Perfect for your DAILY car that you have to use for things like Getting stuff. Other than your ride on the weekends. They also work well as some of these flat and compact designs can be used Under your seat or right behind it. Helping with time and phase issues.
    The one thing I'm going to say outright? Your going to need ALL of that power from your amp to drive these. Or look forward to your Bass boost switch running your amp into clipping. So don't do that. That's why so many of these kinds of subs blow. You really REALLY need to have clean power to go to them to perform. Plan on getting an amp that does at least 700 watts RMS to give you some Headroom.
    But if you got the space? Go for a ported or sealed box if you can. Much better efficiency.
    Really surprised with its extension! They tuned this small box very well!

      I have the 10 inch version of this subwoofer in the back of my truck, and I ended up installing 1/2 inch rubber feet to raise the box up some. The raised contours on my rear mat were occasionally making contact with the subwoofer surround. Kicker should have designed the feet on this box a little taller.
