Our take on the Kicker TRTP 8-inch 20cm Thin Down Firing

The Kicker TRTP is an 8-inch down-firing subwoofer enclosure designed to fit in tight spaces, mainly under or behind a seat. It is a passive sub, so it needs an external amplifier; that separates it from powered under-seat boxes that cost more but need less wiring. Down-firing design aims to load the cone against the floor for extra output in a small cabin. It suits truck, SUV and boat owners who want added bass without giving up cargo or seating space, and it is a modest step up in output over a stock system rather than a competition-grade sub.

Best forTruck and SUV owners with limited space under or behind a seatBoat owners wanting compact low-end reinforcementDrivers adding bass to a stock system with an external ampInstallations where a shallow box is the only option

Pros

Thin, down-firing enclosure fits under seats and in shallow cavities
8-inch driver keeps the footprint small
Passive design lets you match it to your own amplifier
Down-firing layout helps protect the cone and load it against the floor
Kicker's subwoofer reputation and parts availability

Cons

Needs a separate amplifier and wiring, so total install cost rises
8-inch cone limits output compared with 10- or 12-inch subs
Down-firing placement can sound boomy or muffled on some floors
Not a powered all-in-one box, so setup is more involved

Questions and answers

Does the Kicker TRTP need an amplifier?: Yes. It is a passive subwoofer with no built-in amp, so you must add a mono or bridged amplifier rated for its power handling and wire it to your head unit or line output converter.
Will it fit under a truck or SUV seat?: Its thin, down-firing box is made for shallow spaces under or behind seats, but measure your clearance first. Depth and seat rails vary a lot between vehicles.
How does it compare with a powered under-seat sub?: Powered boxes include their own amp, so install is simpler. The TRTP gives you more control over amplification and matching, but you supply the amp and wiring yourself.
Is an 8-inch sub enough for a car or boat?: It adds useful low-end fill to a stock system in a small cabin. It will not match a 10- or 12-inch sub for deep, loud bass, so set expectations for modest reinforcement.
Can it be used on a boat?: It can, provided it is mounted where it stays dry and is powered by a marine-appropriate amplifier. The enclosure itself is not marketed as waterproof.
What is in the box?: The subwoofer enclosure is the main item; amplifier, wiring and mounting hardware are not included, so plan for those separately.
Where is the Kicker TRTP 8-inch 20cm Thin Down Firing cheapest?: At Best Buy, for $215.96, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Kicker TRTP 8-inch 20cm Thin Down Firing?: 2 stores we checked sell it, including Best Buy, Newegg.
