About the Kicker 51HS12 Hideaway Compact Powered Subwoofer, 12-Inch

From the manufacturer

KICKER® Hideaway™ • Powered 12" Under-Seat Subwoofer 51HS12 – Hideaway™ HS12 Compact Powered 12" Subwoofer (230W RMS) The Hideaway HS12 is a compact powered 12-inch subwoofer that delivers surprising low frequency impact in a tough, all-aluminum frame. Designed to fit under the seat, it combines an integrated amplifier with flexible input compatibility and onboard tuning controls for easy system upgrades. Powered 12" subwoofer enclosure 230W RMS Fits under the seat (3-1/2" height) FIT+™ wide-range input: 0.25V–40V Remote bass control included Low-pass crossover + phase switch Overview Big Bass Impact in a Compact Powered Package The HS12 delivers low-frequency output from a robust 12-inch powered enclosure engineered for tight installs. Its all-aluminum frame is built for durability, while the integrated amplifier and onboard controls make it easy to dial in clean, controlled bass. Compact powered 12" subwoofer enclosure designed to fit under the seat. 230 watts RMS amplifier power for strong low-frequency impact. Frequency response rated at 25–120 Hz. Fit Note: The HS12 is designed to provide more power and a bigger impact than the 10-inch or 8-inch versions, while still fitting under the seat. Integration FIT+™ Wide-Range Inputs for Modern Vehicles KICKER’s FIT+™ (Fail-safe Integration Technology PLUS) accepts input signals from 0.25V up to 40V (400 watts at 4Ω) and is compatible with newer vehicles using start/stop systems, helping the HS12 integrate with a wide range of factory and aftermarket systems without the added expense of a line output converter. Low-level input sensitivity: 250mV–10V. High-level input sensitivity: 1V–40V. Compatible with vehicles using start/stop systems.

Match the numbers to your setup

The specs above are the fastest way to confirm a part is right before checkout — a size or power rating just outside your factory setup usually means an adapter or a different SKU, not a return later. If you are not sure which spec matters for your vehicle, the fit tool at the top of the page narrows the catalog to parts already confirmed for your year, make, and model.
