Toyota Tacoma hidden subwoofers (Kicker Comp RT) 

I have a single 6.75" model of these in the rear hatch of my Focus ST, and it's being driven by a Kicker DXA250.1 monoblock amp, which is being fed signal source by an AudioControl LC2i LOC. The 6.75" version is meant to have 150-175 watts RMS, but my amp is closer to 250 at 2 ohms. Like you, I have the bass boost on my amp shut off, the gain on the amp is set between 9 and 10 O'-Clock, the remote bass knob is set to about 1 O'-Clock, and the EQ on my stock Sony/Sync head unit has the bas at -2, mids at -1, and treble to +2. This tiny box is smaller and lighter than the stock Sony 8" that the car came with, and yet it plays louder, deeper and harder than the OEM one did. I found this to be a better option, vs putting a Comp CVT driver in the stock box (which lots of Focus owners do). Oh yeah, Nice video, nice honest back story and nice review!

Thank you so much, been looking to get subs for my Tacoma and your video sold me. I can’t find any sub boxes right now with good reviews that’ll fit 10’s or 12’s since the subboxshop is down. Finna order my setup with 4 8inch subs man, appreciate it!

You should or have someone set your gains on your amp and from your head unit with a DD-1 or an oscilloscope. It’s not so you can be louder. It’s to set the input at the correct level so the amplifier gives you the cleanest sound it can. It has nothing to do with getting louder bass. It’s what the amp is designed to be set with. Cool video. : )

Nice clean look I think I would like some for my S10

Clean and simple...... 😉 nice.

passive radiators do make a big difference. I bet this system sounds good.

We’re did you get the wire setup for wiring the subs up to you factory radio I have a tundra

I have 500w going to just one of those subs, then I have 800w for the rest of the speakers. More power is always better. Still seems very bumpin though.

I got a loaded pioneer enclosure shallow mount ten inch for a 2016 Tacoma double cab and ive heard rumors that the box it comes in won’t fit that I have to get a special box?

You think those can fit in my 2014 Tacoma ?

do u think i could fit 2 kicker comprt 10s in here same setup as yours just 10s

Hello mate is it ok if I put 200w amp for kicker tcomp rt124 4ohm 2x 30cm 2x12 " subwoofer bass box

Heads up boyz I just did it to my 2nd Gen works cherry!!!!

I have one of those sub boxes, ran a LC2i, used a Kenwood 502 amp, replaced the door speakers with M Class Memphis Audio, replaced tweeters with STI Kicker stocks. Set the LC2i at mid way on all knobs, set the amp to match the speaker output; perfect. Outside the truck, virtually no sound. Inside the truck, Jurassic Park.To add, under-powering a sub can start a fire. Don't know how, but it happens.

Can you make a video on the amp you re using. Channels, ohms, 🤘

Sweet this is what I need

I have a 1000w Hifonics amp going to 10"s

I drive a 1993 chevy cheyenne W/T1500 and I've been debating on the 8" rt kickers and the 10" rt kickers built like yours. But regular cab trucks hard finding boxes for it to fit. I think the 8s be good fit for behind seat and think they will hit great for a pickup truck. May do 2 boxes like yours to get maximum boomage

Stereo imput ?

So you got that box to fit (on the driver seat side) even with that seat mount in the way?

Can the sub volume completely cut out the subs to zero output if ya wanted to listen to AM radio?

Not sure if you’ll respond, but did you have to move the seat bracket in between the driver and middle seat in the rear to get these to fit? I’m looking at getting 2 kicker 46l7t102 preloaded sub enclosures and they are the same size box

If you have one of the sub boxes on the driverside can you leave the passenger side plastic storage in place?

Just so you know your not supposed to use the gain knob as a bass knob if you turn up the gain to much it will damage and even possibly blow your subs

Hey, how did you wire them? I’ve got one of those and planning to add another one. Thanks.

What’s the size of the boxes ?

Ohms? Serial - Parallel?

Do you know if 1 box will fit if I only remove the small plastic bin and leave the big bin in?

hi do you still have these sub. in your car. how does the sound perform after two or three years? i have one under seat but i 'm hesitating to buy a second . i also have digital sound 800.4 or 400 x 2 pushing them ... it does seems ok to me. the second sub i put. was to have a greater sound .it is a pioneer 30 " closed box. but i still want to change it for a second kicker 8" sub like your's. is it worth money to have a second one in it ? thanks for the review. nice one.

Do you think 2 of the 10” version of these would be good?

I just picked up the 12” version. Is it possible to face the subs towards the rear of rear of the truck and not toward the seats? I will be installing on Saturday and was just wondering. Maybe the way the box is shaped it won’t work. Thanks

Hey buddy, do you think a pair of 8”s or 10”s will fit in my tundra, behind the rear seat?

I have 2 under my seat and 2 in front and I have q bluetooth kicker remote with gain shock phase and clip any good tuning recommendations for the setting on the remote?

Do you think 2 of those 10inch subs would fit back there? I have a 2017 Tacoma and am wondering if two of those 10inch boxes would fit like the 8 inch ones do

hey buck, not sure if i missed it in the video, where did you locate the amp????

I have a 2017 tacoma and thinking of getting 12 " and 7" deep will it fit?

“I’m not blowing 12 inches or anything”. Me neither brother. Me neither.

I wonder if these would fit in a 2009 tacoma?

This is awesome! Have you checked if the subs excursion hit the back of the seat when is back to its original position? Or they completely clear it? So pumped to do this install!

Do you have a link to the box and subs ?

Anyone know if the Kicker Comp RT12's fit a 17 tacoma? I can't seem to find anything.

Is that sound deadening behind the subwoofer boxes

I personally hate kicker but this seems like an alright set up💪🏻

I probably sound dumb, but how did you connect both of them to one amp?

What amp are you running? Description states 600-watt Alpine but you mentioned an 800-watt “Arc?”

Thanks for the video. I'm planning on doing this in my Tacoma, but wanted to do the 10" version. Does the seat belt mount sit pretty close to your driverside box?

Hi I have a 2007 Tacoma double cab. I was wondering what is a better subwoofer the comp C or the comp Rt ? Thank you for your time. Looking for something to hide in the back seat as well.

Could u fit the kicker comprt 12” in the back as well?

I keep my sub at 1/4 too. Im not trying to rattle at stop lights and I listen to mostly rock that sounds like shit with too much bass

Nice can I fit those on my 2001 tacoma

Hey dude thanks great video i bought this sub to what do you think the best mono amp to pair with these to maximize them i really appreciate your help thanks David

How u install

Where did you get the box? And does anyone have boxes that would fit a 2019 Tacoma. Thank you

Is your amp 1 or 2 channel? If it’s 1 channel did you just double up the sub wires to the 1 channel? I’m tryna do same set up

will the 10 inch fit?

I just ordered the same but 10s

Do u think 1 12 of this sub would do the trick single cab ranger

Do you know if the 4 ohm sounds the same?

how does it sound outside? can you hear it a block down?

@Buck Creek, If your volume is only at 25 and you can turn up the bass to full blast using the knob. The gain on the amp is setup wrong. To properly set the gain, turn the gain on the amp all the way down and the knob all the way up. Then use ohm's law find out the required voltage you need. Using a multimeter u can set the correct voltage output on the amp.

$600😳,I kept looking around and ended up buying used Kenwood everything for around $350

I have the same kicker sub and it is already powered ( have its own amp ) , why you need another amp

Where did you get them

407 miles to empty??? Are you running a tune on the truck? I only get 330 miles on mine with a full tank

🔥👌💯

is your factory system a jbl? if so thats why its quality

2 ohm or 4 ohm?

Do they hit out side of car tho

Can these fit on a Tacoma 2021?

I installed all of this for you! lol

In order to really appreciate a sound system you have to upgrade the head unit.

What year is your Taco? I'm in a 2015 double cab prerunner. Yours has to be newer with that head unit so I'm trying to compare measurements behind the seats! I'm trying to avoid doing a custom box. The custom box would only fit a Kicker Comp RT 10, Rockford Fosgate P1 10 or a Pioneer TS-SW2502S4 10. The Rockford and Pioneer are blane compared to the Comp RT imo. Buying this setup would be ideally cheaper then buying a custom box and sub separately! Thanks in advance!

DOES THE 10 SUB FIT THE 2017 TACOMA

ps the gain isnt meant to be altered it doesnt mean louder u already have a volume nobb trust me on this its meant to be set

What amp are you using?

i bought some they rattle

Amp where are ????

I guess its kind of difficult to actually hear what your subs sound like thru a video. I'm sure they "Thump" instead of what I heard.

should have shown how u installed it... (unless u got it installed)

Its not a gain knob its a bass knob that you have in the front. Setting the gain a quarter turn isnt how you set the gain. lol

The Gay knob?

2:59 😳😳😳😳😳

$600 for that lol

Please don't use odd numbers on your radio please. I have EXTREMELY bad OCD and that will keep my up at night. Example, 12, 14, 16, 18 or 20 etc
