Kicker 47KBRW12 ReFLEX 12" Passive Radiator Subwoofer For Sub Box Enclosures
If you're looking to amplify the bass in your vehicle without compromising on space, the Kicker 47KBRW12 ReFLEX 12" Passive Radiator Subwoofer is the perfect solution. Designed to deliver a big boom even in boxes with low internal volumes, this passive radiator offers the punch of a ported box in a compact sealed enclosure.
The Challenge of Ports and Box Size
Typically, ported enclosures require larger volumes to produce effective bass response. However, this can be a challenge if you have limited space in your vehicle or if you prefer a smaller subwoofer box. Furthermore, ports can sometimes introduce unwanted noise or turbulence, affecting the overall sound quality.
Unleashing the Power of the Kicker 47KBRW12 ReFLEX
The Kicker 47KBRW12 ReFLEX 12" Passive Radiator is designed to overcome these limitations and deliver impressive bass performance in smaller enclosures. By utilizing a passive radiator, this innovative solution allows you to achieve the deep, resonant bass typically associated with larger ported enclosures.
When paired with a compatible 12" subwoofer, such as the Kicker CompRT subwoofer, the 47KBRW12 ReFLEX unlocks the potential to create a robust audio experience within a limited space. With a recommended box volume of just 0.7 cubic feet, this combination offers a seamless integration into your vehicle without compromising on audio quality.
How Does a Passive Radiator Work?
Unlike traditional subwoofers that use a port to produce bass, a passive radiator relies on the movement of air within the enclosure to generate sound. The passive radiator consists of a woofer cone and a weighted mass attached to the back. As the active subwoofer produces sound, the passive radiator resonates and moves in response, effectively amplifying the low-frequency output.
Tuned for Optimal Performance
The Kicker 47KBRW12 ReFLEX Passive Radiator is precisely tuned to enhance bass response in a 0.7 cubic feet air space. With a specific tuning frequency of 34 Hz, it ensures that you experience deep, powerful bass notes that enrich your music and add excitement to your audio system.
Seamless Integration and Optional Grille
The Kicker 47KBRW12 ReFLEX Passive Radiator is designed to work seamlessly with a dual 12" enclosure or a single 12" subwoofer in a 0.7 cubic feet enclosure. Its compact size allows for flexible installation options, making it ideal for vehicles with limited space.
Please note that the grille is not included with the passive radiator. However, you have the option to enhance the appearance and provide additional protection by adding a compatible grille, available separately.
Big Boom in Compact Boxes
When it comes to enhancing your vehicle's audio system with powerful bass, the Kicker 47KBRW12 ReFLEX 12" Passive Radiator Subwoofer is an excellent choice. Its unique design allows you to enjoy the benefits of a ported box in a compact sealed enclosure, making it easier to fit in various locations within your vehicle. With precise tuning, exceptional performance, and the option to add a grille, this passive radiator takes your audio experience to the next level.
