Why Choose Kicker 50CWCS124 Component Car Subwoofer?
Simple Wiring with Deeper, Impactful Bass
The single 4-Ohm voice coil simplifies installation while delivering strong, consistent bass. Reengineered for increased cone excursion, this subwoofer moves farther for deeper, more powerful low-frequency response, enhancing every listening experience.
Durable, Precise, and High-Performance Bass
The injection-molded polypropylene cone is stiff, lightweight, and durable, delivering precise bass reproduction. Forced-air cooling optimizes heat dissipation, ensuring long-lasting reliability under heavy power. A ribbed polyurethane surround with signature yellow stitching maintains cone alignment during high-excursion movement, reducing distortion and providing clean, powerful low frequencies.
Durable Construction for Reliable, Accurate Sound
High-strength Spiralead™ tinsel leads provide robust, long-lasting connections for consistent performance. The stamped steel basket offers a rigid frame that minimizes vibration, ensuring accurate, distortion-free sound reproduction even under heavy bass loads.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- • Why does it sound weak even with a powerful amplifier?
Weak bass is often caused by an enclosure that does not match the recommended specifications or incorrect amplifier tuning. Check the box volume, crossover settings, and speaker polarity before increasing the amplifier gain.
- • Can I install this in a sealed enclosure?
Yes. It is designed to work well in both sealed and ported enclosures when built according to the recommended internal volume and tuning guidelines.
- • Why does my amplifier keep going into protection mode?
This usually happens because of an impedance mismatch, loose wiring, or an electrical short. Verify the wiring configuration and confirm that your amplifier supports the final speaker load.
- • Can I connect this to my factory car stereo?
Yes. An external amplifier is required, and many factory audio systems also need a line output converter for proper signal integration.
- • Why does the bass become distorted when I turn the volume up?
Amplifier clipping, excessive gain, or incorrect crossover settings are common causes of distortion. Proper tuning helps maintain clean bass while protecting the subwoofer from damage.
- • Does it require a break-in period?
Yes. Playing music at moderate listening levels for several hours allows the suspension to loosen naturally and improves overall bass performance.
- • Why do I hear rattling noises from my trunk during heavy bass?
Loose trim panels, license plates, or enclosure hardware are common sources of vibration. Tightening loose parts and adding sound-deadening material can significantly reduce unwanted noise.
- • Can I use an amplifier with a higher RMS rating than the subwoofer?
Yes. A properly adjusted amplifier with clean power is generally safer than an underpowered amplifier that clips under heavy load.
- • Why does the cone move but produce almost no bass?
This usually indicates incorrect crossover settings, reversed speaker polarity, or an air leak in the enclosure. Inspect the amplifier settings and verify all speaker connections before troubleshooting further.
- • Can I wire two subwoofers to one mono amplifier?
Yes. Calculate the final impedance carefully and ensure it falls within your amplifier's supported operating range before connecting both subwoofers.
