The Hideaway HS12 is a compact powered 12-inch subwoofer that delivers surprising low frequency impact in a tough, all-aluminum frame. Designed to fit under the seat, it combines an integrated amplifier with flexible input compatibility and onboard tuning controls for easy system upgrades.
Overview
Big Bass Impact in a Compact Powered Package
The HS12 delivers low-frequency output from a robust 12-inch powered enclosure engineered for tight installs. Its all-aluminum frame is built for durability, while the integrated amplifier and onboard controls make it easy to dial in clean, controlled bass.
- Compact powered 12" subwoofer enclosure designed to fit under the seat.
- 230 watts RMS amplifier power for strong low-frequency impact.
- Frequency response rated at 25–120 Hz.
The HS12 is designed to provide more power and a bigger impact than the 10-inch or 8-inch versions, while still fitting under the seat.
