When Kicker created the original Hideaway compact HS8 powered sub, they wanted to make a subwoofer that could fit almost anywhere and still deliver the performance that made Kicker famous. The HS10 sub adds the extra punch of a 10" speaker and a built-in 180-watt amplifier to give you really impressive bass response from a sub that will still fit almost anywhere. With a Kicker 10" woofer, you can expect serious low end, and you can install the HS10 under most seats to bring the bass right up close. The tough all-aluminum chassis and stylish metal grille protect the speaker and deliver great sound. High- and low-level inputs give you plenty of options for hooking up your sub, and the HS10 can accept input signals from 0.25 to 40 volts so it works with almost any vehicle without adding a line output converter.The Hideaway includes an adjustable low-pass crossover, a subsonic filter to improve efficiency, a phase switch, and a variable +6 dB bass boost adjustable with the included remote control bass knob. The HS10 also offers two auto turn-on options. The package includes a wiring harness for power, signal and remote turn-on connections with a quick-connect Molex plug to make installation simple.

I’m not a big bass guy but I didn’t know what I was missing! This won’t rattle the neighborhood but it puts the perfect amount to enjoy my music! The remote knob is convenient and the eq works very well with this sub from the head unit. Glad Alfredo and Will talked me into it!!! Love it!!!

It’s an excellent downfiring sub! This would be my second one since I over powered my first one and blew out the sub but up until then it made so much bass from such a small sub and enclosure . I have a hatchback and my rear seats drop down so I mounted it on the back of the seats to save space and having it facing towards me while driving And I can tell you it does its job and I definitely enjoyed it especially when a song has a lot of bass .
