It should say in the manual if the amp has a high pass filter and at what frequency.

Re: Kicker C12 4ohm Sub newbie questions


can i check visualy if it has a highpass filter ( this is subsonic, right ? )
i checked the manual for kicker c12, its says that i can install c12 driver to ported box without subsonic filter, but power handling is 75watt maximum.
