Our take on the 51HS12 KICKER Hideaway Series 12" Powered Subwoofer Compact Enclosure

The Kicker Hideaway HS12 is a compact powered subwoofer built around a 12-inch driver in an all-aluminum enclosure. Its FIT+ input stage accepts signals from 0.25 to 40 volts and works with start/stop vehicles, so it can tap factory audio without a line output converter. An included remote lets you adjust bass level independently of radio volume. It suits drivers who want added low end in a tight space without a separate amp and box, and it competes with other under-seat powered subs on input flexibility and included bass control.

Pros
  • FIT+ handles 0.25 to 40 volts of input, so most factory radios connect without a line output converter
  • Works with start/stop vehicles
  • All-aluminum enclosure is tough and compact for a 12-inch sub
  • Included remote adjusts bass without touching radio volume
  • Powered design means no separate amplifier to mount
Cons
  • A single 12-inch powered enclosure moves less air than a multi-sub system
  • Compact aluminum box limits deep, room-shaking output
  • Needs a power run to the battery and a ground point
  • Bass control is a wired remote, not a phone app

About the 51HS12 KICKER Hideaway Series 12" Powered Subwoofer Compact Enclosure

The Kicker Hideaway HS12 is a compact powered 12-inch subwoofer in an all-aluminum frame. The 12-inch enclosure is designed to fit under a seat.

FIT+ (Fail-safe Integration Technology PLUS) accepts input signals from 0.25 volt up to 40 volts (400 watts at 4Ω). It is compatible with newer vehicles that use start/stop systems. It works without a line output converter.

The subwoofer has an adjustable low-pass crossover, a variable +6dB bass boost and a phase switch. It offers two auto turn-on options: DC-offset or signal sensing. The included remote changes the amount of bass without changing the radio volume. Two HS12 units can be run together and controlled with the optional KICKER DBRC Dual-Amp Bass Remote.

Questions and answers

Does the HS12 need a line output converter?
No. FIT+ accepts inputs from 0.25 to 40 volts, which covers most factory and aftermarket radios, so a line output converter is usually unnecessary.
Will it work in a car with start/stop?
Yes. Kicker rates the HS12 as compatible with start/stop systems, so the sub keeps working when the engine shuts off at a light.
What is included with the HS12?
The powered subwoofer enclosure and a wired remote control for bass level. Wiring for power and signal is a separate install.
How does it compare with a separate amp and sub box?
It saves space and install time because the amp is built in, but a separate amp and larger box can deliver more output and deeper bass.
Can I adjust the bass from the driver's seat?
Yes. The included remote changes bass level without changing radio volume, so you can tune the mix at any volume.
Where can the HS12 be mounted?
Its compact aluminum enclosure is designed to fit in tight spots such as behind a seat or in a trunk corner. Check clearance in your vehicle before mounting.
Where is the 51HS12 KICKER Hideaway Series 12" Powered Subwoofer Compact Enclosure cheapest?
