About the Kicker 48CDF124
From our tech experts at CEN
The Kicker 48CDF124 is a down-firing loaded enclosure housing a genuine 12-inch Comp subwoofer, rated at 150W RMS (300W peak) into a single 4-ohm terminal. It measures 58 x 36 x 19.5 cm and is built from thick MDF with heavy internal bracing, finished in black carpet. Because the driver fires downward, no grille is required and you can place items on top without affecting output.
Who it suits
This enclosure suits those wanting a complete, ready-wired bass upgrade without sourcing separate drivers and enclosures. It is a practical choice for car boots where a flat top surface is useful. For more power, the Kicker 49L7TDF122 12-inch L7T steps up to 600W RMS.
Our tech experts advise
Match this enclosure to an amplifier delivering 150W RMS into 4 ohms; the Kicker KEY500.1 pairs well. The single 4-ohm terminal keeps wiring straightforward. Check the footprint of 58 x 36 cm fits your boot before ordering. Car audio installation is priced per vehicle; see our car audio installation page for details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need an amplifier for this subwoofer?
A: Yes, unless it is an active (powered) subwoofer with a built-in amplifier. Passive subwoofers need an external amplifier matched to the RMS power and impedance shown in the Specification tab.
Q: What does RMS power mean?
A: RMS is the continuous power a subwoofer can handle, and it is the number that matters when matching an amplifier. Peak or max figures describe short bursts only. Match your amplifier output to the RMS rating in the Specification tab.
Q: Can CEN build or supply an enclosure and fit everything?
A: Yes. CEN supplies enclosures and offers professional installation from our Nottingham premises, including amplifier wiring. Contact us to discuss your build.
Q: Can I put things on top of the Kicker 48CDF124?
A: Yes. The subwoofer fires downwards, so you can stack everyday items on top without blocking the output, and no grille is needed.
Q: Is the subwoofer included with the 48CDF124?
A: Yes. It is a loaded enclosure supplied with a genuine Kicker Comp 12 inch subwoofer fitted and wired to a single 4 ohm terminal.
Q: What amplifier does the 48CDF124 need?
A: Kicker recommends 150W RMS into 4 ohms, with peak handling of 300W, so a small mono amplifier is a good match.
