    Sub and amp together works great for our installation in a 2011 Silverado. Directions leave a little to be desired. Two hour project we did together and he loves the sound it produces.

    It fits in the only tight spot that I was willing to give up in my truck cab, The bass doesn't compare to a custom box with a large amp, but its not supposed to. This is the perfect little sub to add just a little bit of low end. Overall I'm super happy with it.

    This hits as low as any 12 inch sub out there, the only thing I cnt turn the bass up on it more then half bc it’s starts to mess with the sub but honestly it sounds good with my 12 speaker Bose in my cx50

    After my previous no-name brand space saving 10" sub failed in my Tacoma, I was missing the low end sound and feel. So I researched and found this Kicker sub. Best Buy had it on sale so it was affordable so I bit the bullet and decided to try it out to see if it would be better than my previous powered sub. This 8" sounds so much better and hits harder than my previous 10". This is certainly a case of you get what you pay for and Kicker rocked it right out of the park. I am very pleased with my purchase and I look forward to many road trips and wheelin adventures while I can enjoy good music that sounds great!

    Overall the sound was great. I didn't need window-breaking bass, but I still wanted to feel it. As others have mentioned in their reviews, the sub only lasted about 18 months then the speaker blew out. If you are going to buy this I would recommend getting the protection plan. I just returned mine and got my money back, but I would not buy it again.

    I installed this in our boat and have been very happy with its performance for the price. It would have been very easy except for the RCA to speaker wire conversion for my stereos sub-woofer connection and understanding the remote on connection (blue wire). I ordered the Kicker adapter for RCA connection but it ended up on backorder. So, I stripped and separated RCA cable and connected it to the wiring harness. After not being able to get it to power on, I connected the "remote on" which I thought was optional. The instructions are confusing about it's use and whether it is needed and the settings. After finding a similar description wire on the stereo harness and connecting it, there has been no issue.

    Surprised at how it sounded for it's size but not loud enough for me. This is a good way to add more bass but it doesn't really "thump" like a 10" or 12" sub in a box running off a seperate amp.

    I have been a fan of Rockford-Fosgate for a long time, and this small but awesome sub just makes me love them even more. It is exactly what I wanted: something well built, durable, self contained and reasonably priced. I am looking forward to many years of MUCH better sounding music now that I have this.
