Why Choose Kicker 48CWRT124 Component Car Subwoofer?
Heart-pounding Bass Output
A 12-inch car subwoofer designed to fit in tight spots inside your vehicle, the Kicker 48CWRT124 offers that heart-pounding bass output while relieving you of any headaches from fitting and installation issues. Coming from Kicker's popular rounded subwoofer series, CompRT, the Kicker 48CWRT124 is always ready to give you that low-frequency performance you deserve.
Solokon Polypropylene Cone
The Kicker 48CWRT124 is equipped with a SoloKon polypropylene cone and a rubber surround to provide 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 large vents, it also has the renowned Kicker UniPlate, which is known for its high efficiency in absorbing heat build-up from long hours of use, especially at near-maximum volume levels. The Kicker 48CWRT124 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 behind my truck's rear seat?
It is designed for applications with limited mounting depth. Measure the available clearance before installation to ensure a proper fit.
- • Why is the bass weaker than I expected?
An incorrect enclosure size or insufficient amplifier power can reduce output. Make sure both match the recommended specifications.
- • Can I install this in a sealed enclosure?
Yes. A properly sized sealed enclosure delivers tight, accurate bass while requiring less space.
- • Why does it distort at high volume?
Amplifier clipping or excessive gain is the most common cause. Proper tuning helps produce clean bass and protects the speaker.
- • What amplifier should I use with this subwoofer?
Choose an amplifier that closely matches the subwoofer's RMS power rating and final impedance. Proper power matching delivers the best performance.
- • Why is the cone making a clicking or popping sound?
This usually happens when the subwoofer exceeds its excursion limits or the amplifier is clipping. Lower the volume and inspect the enclosure and amplifier settings.
- • Can I wire two subwoofers to the same mono amplifier?
Yes, provided the final impedance stays within the amplifier's supported range. Follow the recommended wiring diagram before connecting them.
- • Why does the voice coil smell hot after playing music?
A burning smell usually indicates excessive power or amplifier clipping. 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 loosen naturally for optimal performance.
- • Why is the bass weak after wiring the dual voice coils?
Incorrect series or parallel wiring can result in the wrong final impedance. Verify the wiring configuration before powering the amplifier.

Very shallow sub but Im amazed as to how hard it can bring that bass. WIth its design, its easier to install it with a thin custom box as you don’t need to have that much space for it to fit. Excellent and powerful bass from Kicker
