Why Choose Kicker 48CWRT122 Component Car Subwoofer?
Delivering a Monstrous Bass Output
Perfectly designed to fit on your vehicle's tight spots while still delivering a monstrous bass output, the Kicker 48CWRT122 comes from the company's popular rounded subwoofer series, CompRT, which is always known to be ready to give the low-frequency performance that everyone deserves.
Solokon Polypropylene Cone
The Kicker 48CWRT122 has a SoloKon polypropylene cone and a rubber surround, providing massive but accurate low-frequency performance with reduced noise at high-volume levels. These materials are also famous for their robustness to withstand the stress from the constant production of solid vibrations from the subwoofer for long hours.
High Efficiency in Absorbing Heat
Aside from its massive vents, it also has the renowned Kicker UniPlate, known for its high efficiency in absorbing heat build-up from long hours of use, especially at near-maximum volume levels. The Kicker 48CWRT122 uses its in-house Forced-Air Cooling technology to keep the subwoofer 20 percent cooler than other subwoofers.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- • Will this shallow-mount subwoofer fit under my truck seat?
It is designed for applications with limited mounting depth. Measure your available space before installation to ensure proper clearance.
- • Why isn't the bass as loud as I expected?
An incorrect enclosure or insufficient amplifier power can reduce output. Make sure both are matched to the manufacturer's recommendations.
- • Can I install this in a sealed enclosure?
Yes. A properly sized sealed enclosure delivers tight, accurate bass while saving space.
- • Why does the subwoofer distort at high volume?
Distortion is usually caused by amplifier clipping or excessive gain settings. Proper tuning helps produce clean bass and protects the speaker.
- • What amplifier should I use with this subwoofer?
Choose an amplifier that matches the subwoofer's RMS power rating and final impedance. A properly matched amplifier provides the best overall performance.
- • Why is the cone making a clicking noise?
This can happen if the subwoofer is overdriven or the enclosure is not built correctly. Lower the volume and inspect your system settings.
- • Can I wire two subwoofers to one mono amplifier?
Yes, as long as the final impedance stays within the amplifier's supported range. Follow the recommended wiring diagram for the best results.
- • Why does the voice coil smell hot after playing music?
A burning smell usually indicates amplifier clipping or excessive power. Reduce the gain and allow the subwoofer to cool before using it again.
- • Does it require a break-in period?
Yes. Moderate listening during the first several hours helps the suspension reach normal operating performance.
- • Why is the bass weak after wiring the dual voice coils?
Incorrect series or parallel wiring can result in the wrong impedance. Verify the wiring before powering the amplifier.

It’s said to bring out and can go down to 25Hz, which is maybe accurate as I am hearing some deep deep bass with the sub. And its shallow too which is shocking considering how it can deliver some really really nice lows.
