Compact 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer Bundle
This bundle combines a Kicker 51HS12 Hideaway Compact Powered Subwoofer with a Kicker 47KEY2004 4-Channel DSP Smart Amplifier. The 12-inch subwoofer delivers 230W RMS power in a slim 3-1/2 inch high enclosure weighing 17.5 lb. The amplifier provides 200W total output across four channels at 50W each. Together they upgrade factory audio systems without requiring extensive vehicle modifications.
230W RMS Subwoofer Output
The 51HS12 subwoofer produces 230W RMS power from its 12-inch driver. This single specification determines the bass impact achievable in the vehicle cabin. The amplifier supplies 50W per channel to drive front and rear speakers separately. System performance hinges on matching these power ratings to the listener's volume expectations and the vehicle's electrical capacity.
Handles Daily Listening, Not Competition SPL
The 230W RMS subwoofer comfortably handles everyday music genres and moderate listening levels in typical passenger vehicles. The 200W amplifier drives four speakers with clean headroom for highway speeds. The combination runs out of headroom for extreme sound-pressure-level competitions or very large cabin volumes requiring multiple high-output subwoofers. Buyers seeking maximum SPL or multi-subwoofer arrays need a different solution.

What does the 4x50W rating on the KEY amplifier mean for my speaker wiring?

At 3-1/2 inches high and 17.5 lb, the hideaway box is designed to slide beneath most factory seats for a stealth install.
