  • Our take on the Kicker 48CWR122

    The Kicker 48CWR122 is a 12-inch CompR series car subwoofer built for high output on modest power. It handles 500 W RMS, uses a 2-ohm dual voice coil, and has a shallow 5.7-inch mounting depth, so it fits many sealed and ported boxes that deeper subs won't. Reviewers treat the CompR line as a value step up from entry-level subs, with strong bass for the power and a rugged build. It suits drivers who want loud, deep bass from a single 12 and have an amp that is stable at 2 or 1 ohm.

    Questions and answers

    What amp does the Kicker 48CWR122 need?
    Look for an amp rated around 500 W RMS at 2 ohms, or 500 W at 1 ohm if you wire the dual voice coils in parallel. A 1000 W peak rating gives headroom.
    Can it run at 1 ohm?
    Yes. The dual 2-ohm voice coils wire in parallel to 1 ohm or in series to 4 ohms. Make sure your amp is stable at the impedance you choose.
    Will it fit a shallow box?
    It needs 5.7 inches of mounting depth, which is shallow for a 12-inch sub. Check box depth plus clearance for the magnet and terminals.
    Is it good for a sealed or ported box?
    It works in both. Sealed gives tighter, more controlled bass; ported gives more output and lower extension if the box is tuned properly.
    Can I use it in a boat?
    No. It is not marine-rated, so moisture and sun exposure will shorten its life. Choose a marine subwoofer for boat use.
    Is one 12 enough?
    For most cars, one 48CWR122 on 500 W RMS gives strong bass. Two add output but need more power and space.
    Where is the Kicker 48CWR122 cheapest?
    At Best Buy, for $151.99, as of our latest check.
