SLICKV12.M3-V5 Slick 12 Inch 1500 Watts Tesla Model 3 Direct Fit Subwoofer Upgrade
The SLICKV12 bass enclosure features a removable interchangeable baffle to suit Tesla Model 3 vehicles.
Adding a subwoofer is one of the most effective upgrades you can make to a stock audio system. Vibe designed this Tesla-specific bass box so you can hear your music the way it was intended.
High efficiency
Efficiency was central to the design. Getting loud is straightforward — doing so without excessive strain on the electrical system is not. The enclosure is optimised to work with the Vibe 400.1 micro amplifier, keeping current draw low — an important consideration in an electric vehicle where excessive draw can reduce range.
Seamless integration
Built specifically for Tesla, the SLICKV12.M3-V5 integrates directly into the OEM sound system. It sits flush inside the lower boot storage area, with an interchangeable baffle to match the Model 3 interior. The tapered box design makes full use of the dead space beneath the boot floor.
Sound quality
The enclosure is tuned for a smooth, rounded sound that complements mids and highs, delivering deep, punchy bass.

About the Vibe SLICKV12.M3-V5
From our tech experts at CEN
A vehicle-specific Vibe subwoofer upgrade for the Tesla Model 3, made to use the factory available location rather than taking up load space, 500w RMS.
Who it suits
Tesla Model 3 owners who want the low end the factory system lacks without losing boot space or cutting the car about.
Our tech experts advise
Fitment depends on model year and factory audio specification, so we confirm before ordering. It still wants amplification and setting up against the front speakers so it blends. Installation is priced per vehicle, so get in touch with your make, model and year and we will confirm what it needs. See car audio installation.

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: Which amplifier should I use with the SLICKV12.M3-V5?
A: The enclosure is designed to get the most out of the Vibe 400.1 micro amplifier, which keeps current draw low in an electric vehicle. It is rated at 500W RMS and 1500W peak at dual 2 ohms.
Q: Will the SLICKV12.M3-V5 take up boot space?
