Our take on the KICKER Powered 12" Subwoofer 500W RMS Powered Down Firing Loaded Enclosure

The Kicker PTRTP is a loaded, down-firing subwoofer enclosure that pairs an active 12-inch CompRT sub with a passive reFLEX radiator and a built-in 500-watt RMS amplifier. The factory-tuned box is compact enough for many trucks and SUVs, and the down-firing layout protects the driver from cargo. It suits shoppers who want strong bass without building a custom system, and it competes with powered enclosures like the Kicker Hideaway and Rockford Fosgate Punch units on integration and output. The included remote bass control lets you adjust level from the driver's seat.

About the KICKER Powered 12" Subwoofer 500W RMS Powered Down Firing Loaded Enclosure

The Kicker PTRTP is a powered, down-firing 12-inch subwoofer enclosure. It combines an active CompRT subwoofer, a passive reFLEX sub and a built-in, power-matched amplifier in one package. The passive sub adds extra output.

The enclosure is compact and factory-tuned, so it fits in tight locations in many trucks and SUVs. The driver fires downward to protect it. Thick internal bracing resists stacking weight.

Questions and answers

Does the PTRTP need a separate amplifier?
No. The enclosure has a built-in 500-watt RMS amplifier matched to the 12-inch CompRT sub, so you only need power, ground and a signal input.
How does it connect to a factory stereo?
It integrates with a factory system through a line-output converter or speaker-level input, plus a power wire from the battery and a ground.
What is the passive reFLEX sub for?
The passive radiator adds output at low frequencies without a second powered driver or a port, which helps in a compact sealed-style box.
Will it fit under a truck or SUV seat?
The enclosure is designed for tight locations in many trucks and SUVs, but the down-firing driver needs clearance below, so measure your space before buying.
What is in the box?
The loaded enclosure with its built-in amplifier and the remote bass control. Wiring and installation hardware are typically sold separately.
How does it compare with the 10-inch version?
The 12-inch model uses a 500-watt amp versus 400 watts for the 10-inch, so it moves more air and plays louder, at the cost of a larger enclosure.
Where is the KICKER Powered 12" Subwoofer 500W RMS Powered Down Firing Loaded Enclosure cheapest?
