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

The Kicker 51HS12 Hideaway is a 12-inch powered subwoofer in a shallow all-aluminum enclosure with a built-in 230W RMS amplifier. It is designed to add bass to vehicles with little space, and its FIT+ input stage accepts signals from 0.25V to 40V, so it works with factory radios and start/stop vehicles without a line output converter. A 25–120 Hz response, 50–120 Hz lowpass, 0°/180° phase switch, variable KickEQ boost to +6dB at 40Hz and an included remote bass knob give real tuning control. Against separate sub-and-amp setups it saves space and wiring, but a dedicated box with a bigger amp will play louder and deeper.

Best forSpace-limited vehicles like trucks and hatchbacksFactory-radio upgrades without a line output converterListeners who want one-box bass with no separate ampOwners who want a dash-mounted bass level control
Pros
  • All-in-one powered enclosure saves space and wiring
  • FIT+ accepts 0.25V–40V inputs, including start/stop vehicles
  • Aluminum frame is tough and shallow enough for tight spots
  • Remote bass knob and variable KickEQ boost included
  • Highpass at 25Hz and 12dB lowpass give usable tuning
Cons
  • 230W RMS limits output compared with separate sub-and-amp setups
  • Shallow enclosure trades some deep-bass extension for size
  • Only a 12dB/octave lowpass slope, less steep than some rivals
  • Wiring harness and brackets must be fitted, not plug-and-play

What reviewers say

Owners and reviewers describe the Hideaway as an easy way to add real bass to a factory system in a small space, with the FIT+ input and remote knob getting frequent praise. Criticism centers on output limits and the shallow box's deep-bass reach.

What people mention
  • InstallPraisedOwners say it fits where a conventional box will not and needs no separate amplifier.
  • Input compatibilityPraisedThe wide FIT+ input range lets it work with factory radios and start/stop vehicles.
  • OutputMixedReviewers find it adds solid bass but not the output of a dedicated sub-and-amp combo.
  • Bass depthCriticisedThe shallow enclosure limits how deep and loud the lowest notes go.
  • Remote controlPraisedThe included bass knob is called useful for adjusting level from the driver's seat.

About the Kicker 51HS12 Hideaway 12" Compact Powered Subwoofer Enclosure

model: 51HS12

The Hideaway HS12 is a compact powered 12-inch subwoofer that delivers surprising low frequency impact in a tough, all-aluminum frame.

⚠ WARNING : This product can expose you to chemicals including di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) , which is [are] known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov .

FIT PLUS

KICKER innovates once again, with FIT+™ (Fail-safe Integration Technology PLUS). Accepting input signals ranging from a mere 0.25 volt to as high as 40 volts (400 watts at 4Ω) and fully compatible with newer vehicles using start/stop systems, the HS12 works with almost any vehicle on the road today without the added expense of a line output converter.

ROCKIN’ REMOTE

The included remote control allows you to change the amount of bass without changing the radio volume, for the perfect mixture of bass in your music at any volume.

If you have two mono amps or powered subwoofers, check out the DBRC Remote for controlling both from the same knob.

FULLY LOADED

The Hideaway comes with an adjustable low-pass crossover, variable +6dB bass boost, phase switch, and two auto turn-on options: DC-offset or signal sensing.

FANTASTIC FIT

The robust 12-inch powered enclosure delivers more power and a bigger impact than the 10-inch or 8-inch, and STILL fits under the seat.

MAKE YOUR SOUND EXPERIENCE EVEN BETTER

For even more bass response and next-level audio, run two HS12s and control them both with the KICKER DBRC Dual-Amp Bass Remote!
