51HS8

Overview: The Kicker Hideaway HS8 (51HS8) subwoofer features a built-in 150W RMS amplifier and an 8" sub housed in a compact enclosure designed to fit in tight spaces.

Remote Control: The wired remote puts output level control within easy reach. The remote comes features an integrated bracket to mount it under the dash. The included 19.5' cable, with 3.5mm TRS plugs on each end, connects the remote to the amplifier.

Note: The Remote Bass Control measures approximately 1.65" wide x 1.03" high x 1.27" deep (3.20" deep including the knob and cable).

Subsonic Filter: A built-in subsonic filter improves the performance of the subwoofer by eliminating frequencies that are too low for the subwoofer to play. The 24 dB/octave subsonic filter's crossover point is 25 Hz. The subsonic filter cannot be disengaged.

Mounting: The subwoofer, with its 3-1/8" height, can be mounted in applications with limited space, even under a seat in the passenger compartment of many vehicles.

Controls:

• Auto Turn-on: two position switch
  • +12V: amp turns on when 12 volts is applied to the remote turn-on wire
  • DC: amp turns on when a signal is present on the speaker-level input
• Input Level: two position switch
  • Hi: accepts signal input from 250mV to 10 volts
  • Lo: accepts signal input from 125mV to 5 volts
• Phase: two position switch; set the subwoofer phase to 0° or 180°
• Bass Boost: rotary dial to adjust the bass boost; continuously variable from 0 to 6 dB; boost centered at 40 Hz
• Crossover Frequency: rotary dial to control the low pass crossover frequency; 50 to 120 Hz; 12 dB/octave slope
• Gain: rotary dial to set the amplifier gain control; 250mV to 10 volts for speaker level inputs and 125mV to 5 volts for line level inputs

Connections:

• Harness: The Quick-Connect harness has wires for power (17 feet), ground (2 feet), remote turn-on (2 feet), and signal input (8 feet). If using a speaker level input, just splice into the wire in the harness. If using a line level input, a speaker wire to RCA adapter is needed (sold separately). The included in-line fuse holder should be added to the power wire at the battery location
