Know before you buy
The 10-inch passive radiator works in tandem with the active subwoofer to increase bass output and efficiency without requiring extra amplifier power. It allows the enclosure to produce deeper, more resonant low frequencies than a standard sealed box of the same size.
The enclosure is engineered specifically for marine environments with a weather-proof silicone seal and waterproof connections. It is rigorously tested to meet ASTM and ISO standards for salt, fog, and UV exposure, ensuring it can withstand direct exposure to the elements on a boat.
This enclosure is rated for 400W RMS and 800W peak power at 4-Ohms. To get the best performance and longevity, you should pair it with a marine-grade amplifier capable of delivering 400W of clean, continuous power.
The included lockable feet provide a secure surface-mount solution that keeps the enclosure stable even in choppy water. They allow you to bolt the unit down firmly to your boat's deck or storage area to prevent sliding or movement.
No, this is a pre-loaded, custom-tuned enclosure, meaning the internal volume is already optimized by Kicker for the specific drivers included. You simply need to ensure you have the required surface space of approximately 25-9/16 inches by 12-5/8 inches.
Yes, the enclosure features UV-resistant grilles and a durable construction designed to resist fading and degradation from sun exposure. However, like all marine electronics, minimizing direct, prolonged UV exposure will help extend the cosmetic life of the materials.
