Kicker's new RT truck boxes 

lmao!

😂😂😂😂

Build her a cake or something

😂

What year is your truck?

@@toon-in-fishing5719 2012 supercrew cab.

Have they handled the extra watts or have they blown?

@@jonathangodinez304 I've blown one already. My unit goes up to 40. I don't go past 35 with the bass up. It hits. I'm installing a 2nd one and upgrading my mids.

firebirdude2 sweet!

firebirdude2 what kind of car did you put it in. Looking for a shallow box for my camaro because I need the trunk space

+jmar662 jmar662 thank you.

I had those 6x9s and they were amazing in my opinion. Had my car broken into and they just took the subs. I ended up just rolling with the 6x9s or long time as they sounded so great.

Phoenix gold have gone the same way. I have a feeling one slim 8” JL sub in their 5” deep box would sound better.

theyre pretty good i have the 6.75" version and sounds like a 10". with the box design

rog3775 thank you

12

incomparable2312 there are stickers over the screw holes. They are the flat panels around the woofer not the beveled ones. Peel off the sticks and you will see the screws

lol. the trim piece covers the screw holes.

Yes it is possible. Power is not the only thing that can blow speakers, distortion can blows speakers also.

yea mine blew up 3 weeks after I bought what a waste of money

@@JayR305TheChosenOne sendingmineout tommrw

Jessica Makowiecki does it still have the plastic on the back of the set? If so you will want to remove that.

I'd go kicker... Never been impressed by any pioneer subwoofer

+Dat Tepo yes it similar

I would suggest to grab a tape measure. And write down these measurements he is giving us.

Brandon Casso what year Tacoma ? I’m having problems finding a sub that fits my 2018 TRD Pro.

@@mimikyuthepokemon3489 I have the 10inch kicker in the video in mines for the 2018 Tacoma

@@SmokinClownSD the 10 inch fits behind the backseat of the tacoma?

@@alexgarcia3900 they do. I have 10's in this brand

@@SmokinClownSD ok cousin. Looks like I'll be buying a 10 inch for my double cab. Thanks for the information. You have it behind the seat with the oem plastics covers back there or did have to take the panel out?

Yes they do bro

Arctic Adobo it will probably stick out. I would call it medium boomy

Thanks for the reply. Can you recommend a boomy subwoofer? My amp is only 500W

I would say no, that box has the airspace for 1 active sub, that radiator isn't moving as much air as a real sub would. its acting more as a port with resistance.

ya i bet you feel like i do i thought i bought 2 12s online now ima fit and get a Kicker L7 if ima have 1 sub

Just buy 2 😂

You could put 2 active subs in their place that use the same liter size box tho. I think some from Hertz will fit them from memory.

willonce No

royce robinson I would agree, these are a nice improvement from last years.

I went with a 1 channel 600 rms Kicker amp...

Been wondering the same question but with two 10 inch....... ? Did you ever figure this out

@@frogglocc1255 I tried a re mono amp 1000.1 and it was good but needed more power I was looking for a bigger re amp but ended up getting a skar mono amp for my set up it is a 1500 rms. They sound really good.

Edd Cruz the audio really sucks, bass kind of kills the mic. No shallow sub sound really good in ported and bandpass boxes. The reason you don't see it much, is it kind of defeats the purpose of the shallow mount. Rockfords new T1 shallow woofers come preloaded in a ported box.

It's the mic. It's 99% of all mics unfortunately. That's why all the subwoofer demos on YT sound like butt.

+Dat Tepo yes 8-10-12

I actually watched this video to learn how, and it’s simple. You can see at 0:53 that you have to take off these little plastic covers on the rim to take it off. There’s 4 in total.

I see u commented a month ago if you blew the 12. call kicker and your warranty should cover. don't tell them you blew it. say it stopped working i have the 12rt voice coil locked on me. im mailing it out to tommorw n I'll see it back in like 10 days

kicker for life

jmaslin I don't know, we have never asked. Good question. Maybe from their parts department. They are not listed on the price sheet.

thank you

Five Star Car Stereo I have two older cvr kickers do you think if i add passive radiator to each one can it makes a difference by the way they're 8inch and each one are in there own box same length like the 8inch enclosure

julio bello probably not at this point. They are broken in to there current box. Changing it my hurt them more then help them.

500 watts RMS, you'd just have to find an amp that can run that at 2 ohms if you get the 2 ohm variant, and likewise for the 4 ohm variant

Fidel Torres you will probably want the 2ohm. That way a pair will be 1 ohm at the amp. The Rockford r750.1 would work

Five Star Car Stereo would that power them to the fullest?

Will they work with a bose stereo

Not enough air space in the box.

If you want big bass you need to stay away from shallow subs and boxes. They're designed to save space and have compromises.

@@alexgarcia3900 yeah bigger speakers are better then shallow subs in my predicament I wanted the space in the end I ended up going with a 12w 6 jl audio in a custom console style box the base was insane on that setup however when comparing the kicker rt from past experience the kicker cvt hit alot harder.

+L Slaughter I would think so

Five Star Car Stereo thank you for the fast response

You definitely can but just because you can doesn't mean you should. It wouldn't be recomended at all

@@alexgarcia3900 why not? Can't I port it and it be the same as the passive radiator?

George Rangel if you have the room and you like fat bass, ported.

thank u u guys are always helpful love the videos

George Rangel thank you anytime

Most people don't know when or why to port a box . Sealed boxes will at some point of excursion be fighting the other speaker at a certain volume level ,wich means that it has limitations in the field of spl. Spl ( sound pressure level) refers to the amount of air that is moving past a certain point . Most people think that you hear bass and that is tru to a small extent . In the bass world it is felt not heard ,spl is the air pressure moving around your body . When you port a box you allow the speaker more room for excursion bc the air can escape the box and not push back on the speaker, thus more air movement ( spl).down side to ported boxes is that the port is considered and built around what frequency response of the intended music to be played . Thus means it will only perform at it's best in that hertz frequency and not so well at any other . It's like tuning a carb on a car if you will .

havingfunwithit I would recommend a regular ported 1-10 box. Something like a Rockford P2or P3. They are in not super thin boxes like these but they are reasonably small.

Nah

You’d have to take the plastics out

The key 500.1 is our goto

+Thomas Brister yes they are the same size.

Arnold Stein we have them side by side with last years sealed box and it is maybe an inch bigger.

The cone on the radiator is weighted much differently than the cone & dustcap on the actual subwoofer. Different design for different applications.

Makes it look like it has a black eye

yes

Devin Hopper it may fit, it is pretty small. If you are getting a mono amp you may want a 2ohm sub.

Devin Hopper same man. I just got a 94 F150. singke cab. trying to find a good speaker.

melvin martinez haha, funny thing Paul's brother owns American Bass( Paul is our boss). They started the company together. We oddly do very little with the product.

just wondering cause I have 4 of them and what size of box I need for them for a tahoe 2007

melvin martinez have you tried giving them a call?
