2018-2025 Nissan Kicks 1st Gen (single generation to date) — subwoofer box fitment

What we researched for this specific generation: where an enclosure actually fits, what the factory speakers are, how the factory audio is wired, and which real builds and commercial products exist for it. Confidence badges say how well each figure is sourced — this is research, not manufacturer spec.

Body styles covered: 4-Door Subcompact Crossover

Where a box actually fits

These are researched envelopes, not a guarantee. Measure your own vehicle — the numbers here tell you what to expect, not what you have.

Standard Solid

Locationcargo area, factory Rockford Fosgate enclosure location
Outer bounding box39"W x 19"H x 16"-26"D
Known obstructionsGenuinely small trunk by class standards, per real owner consensus — size any addition conservatively.

Starting points

Suggested configurations for this vehicle, not prescriptions. Run the numbers in the Box Builder before you buy anything.

Door speaker fitment

Sizes and depths below are what research turned up for this generation. Confirm against your own vehicle before cutting or ordering — trim levels vary.

Front doors Likely

Factory speaker size6.5"/6.75" — real forum discussion confirms both figures are cited, and retailer sourcing (Crutchfield) confirms products exist for both sizes, meaning either mounting depth is a safe design target.
Known obstructionsGENUINE TECHNICAL WRINKLE, same category already flagged on the Corolla and Subaru BRZ/GR86 entries : the factory head unit is designed for 2-OHM speakers, while most aftermarket door speakers are 4-ohm — a straight swap changes the electrical load and should be accounted for, not assumed to just work.
Adapter bracket neededunconfirmed

Rear doors Unconfirmed

Factory speaker sizenot independently confirmed by exact size
Known obstructionsNone specifically documented
Adapter bracket neededunconfirmed
Tweetern/a — tweeter is A-pillar mounted, front only

Factory audio integration

Factory amp / premium audioRockford Fosgate premium system (available trims): dual 6-3/4" cargo-area woofers as the factory 'subwoofer' solution — a genuinely different architecture from a single trunk sub used on most other vehicles covered here.
Adding subs without a head-unit swapConfirmed via real forum discussion of low-effort/high-impact upgrades on SV-trim (non-Rockford-Fosgate) audio — doesn't require a head-unit swap, though the 2-ohm impedance consideration applies.
Head unitNo replacement needed

Known integration products

Mounting locations

Standard Solid

Real, specific factory system: Rockford Fosgate-equipped trims get boosted bass from a PAIR of 6-3/4" woofers installed in a factory enclosure in the cargo area — already a real, dual-driver factory system, not a single generic sub. Real cargo dimension confirmed: 39"W x 19"H x 16"/26"D. A common, real owner complaint: the trunk is described as too small for adding a separate large subwoofer box, leading many owners toward an under-front-seat sub as a practical, space-constrained alternative instead.

Before you cut anything

Measure your own vehicle. Trim levels, factory subwoofer options, and mid-generation changes all move these numbers, and a box cut to a researched figure that does not match your truck is wasted wood. Where a badge reads Unconfirmed, treat the value as a starting point for your own measurement, not as an answer.
