Why HS12
FIT+ (Fail-safe Integration Technology PLUS)
FIT+ accepts a wide range of input signals (from 0.25V up to 40V) and is compatible with modern vehicles using start/stop systems. That means the HS12 integrates with most factory or aftermarket systems without forcing you to buy a separate line output converter in many installs.
Rockin’ Remote
The included remote bass knob lets you adjust bass level from the driver’s seat without changing your radio volume—so you can keep the mix right at any listening level.
Fully Loaded Controls
- Adjustable low-pass crossover (50–120Hz)
- Variable KickEQ bass boost up to +6dB @ 40Hz
- Phase switch (0° / 180°)
- Two auto turn-on options: DC-offset or signal sensing
- High-level and low-level inputs for factory or aftermarket integration
Easy Install
A quick-connect Molex® plug and included harness simplify wiring for power, signal, and remote turn-on. Mount it under a seat or in a compact location and keep your cargo space.
