Kicker 48CDF124 Comp 12" Subwoofer in Down Firing Enclosure, 4-Ohm

Compact and visually low profile. Goes loud enough to blow your ear drums out. A bit over kill for me. Sound quality is great. Using with a 500 watt amp and an external. volume dial

This thing is an amazing upgrade, when the speaker is in the same cabin space as you it sounds like a war zone. 150 watts rms has never sounded so good before. I would pair it with a mono block amp that's atleast 400 watts rms.

Tight bass from a very compact design. Good platform for small hatchbacks. Powered by 1025 x 1 bridged mono. None of the goofy droning from ported or band pass boxes- just clean, tight bass with a good punch.

I bought this sub along with a kicker amp and boss wiring kit a few weeks ago for my Subaru Outback. I am happy with the quality of the sub. It has a good smooth sound, and is plenty loud when I turn it up the rear view mirror shakes wildly and i can feel the bass in my chest. YOU NEED TO KNOW THOUGH THAT IF YOU ARE HOOKING IT UP TO A FACTORY RADIO YOU NEED A LOC CONVERTER. before you buy the sub look into LOC converters. they are fairly easy to install. youtube it, but you should know what you are signing up for. I recommend buying this sub. It's tons of fun.

I've had this sub installed now for about 8 months now in a 2019 Cherokee. After the 2 week break in, and then another 2 weeks of me being too lazy to get the Amp tuned, I finally put it to the test. I've always liked ALOT of bass, but didn't want to run the risk of poking a hole in it with the amount of stuff that goes in the trunk so I figured downfiring would be the way to go. You get a great rumble that extends through the floor so you can really feel what's hitting. I love that I can throw stuff on top of the box and not worry about damage to the woofer too. Installing was a breeze. Highly recommend this sub for any bass heads or newbies. Downside (for me) is now I want more, so I'm probably going to get a second one to ensure I'm deaf by the time I'm 40!

100% happy for purchase

This 12" replaced my Pioneer 10" with same RMS rating hooked up to a 330W Alpine mono (a bit more than I need). This Kicker sounds so much better, clearer, and deeper. This thing pounds! I have learned that you need a good amp to make subs sound good. Bad reviews may stem from cheap amps.Give this a try and the down-firing box frees up the trunk. Why not go for the 2 ohm equivalent? 2 ohms will sound louder but not as clear and precise as 4 ohm subs. Will it make a difference? Not to most people.

Blown out of the box! Still worked but had a terrible rattle. I ended up replacing the speaker with a Comp VR from a local big box store, which was dual 2 ohms for more power. The box is ok, and I still use it, but the water is mediocre. Had a hard time holding the speaker screws. I have to tighten them about once a month.
