This sounds amazing! It won't rattle the window but packs a great punch for its size and fits nicely under the passenger seat of my Jeep Wrangler. This will add nice depth to just about any type of music you are listening to. I love the separate control knob too, which allows quick easy adjustment to bass level based on what you are listening to.

Great value, had it I stalled at Best Buy (cheaper then local shops) and I recommend it specially if your under warranty still best to have reputable company install it.
Fits just fine under seat in my Elantra with passenger seat lifted mid ways
Compliments my stock speakers perfect, easy to use and adjust

I was going back and forth between this Kicker hideaway and a cheaper underseat enclosed sub and amp from a competitor. I decided to save a few buck and but the cheaper since I wanted just to add a bit of thump/bass to my 2022 Honda Civic sport who owns knows what I’m talking about. Buying the cheaper route was a mistake, sound was horrible so I regretted my buy and bit the bulet and purchased this kicker hideaway. The difference was like night and day. The quality of the kicker hideaway was top notch. The setting in low input and bass on low was enough for me and exactly what i wanted. The install was quite easy being I have no experience installing any stero equipment. I will add pictures of my clean install later.

I would recommend this to anyone. It changed my whole experience with my stock stereo. It saved me a ton of money and it’s powerful. It sounds amazing and it’s hidden my hatch area of my car.

Perfect hideaway subwoofer for getting space back, Always have to take my subwoofer box out when I go on vacation so I lose all of my bass. Put this in under the passenger seat will probably move to the back because it has a lot of bass for the size of the package and rattles person in the seat. Sounds really good. But does get distorted on some songs when volume is turned up all the way.

I went back and forth over matching an amp with a sub, but realized that neither would fit well in my Ram 1500 Quad Cab. I imagined I needed more power that this product would offer, but I was wrong. I put this under the driver's seat and it does exactly what I hoped. Packs a serious punch, but doesn't rattle the windows or make a nuisance down the street. The boom will be felt and enjoyed. Great decision because of the cost, ease of installation, quality, and sound.

I have a 2015 Toyota Tundra double cab with the entune plus system(no nav). After lots of consideration and research I went with the Kicker Hideaway and am very pleased with it. I had it installed at the local Best Buy here. The install could have went a little better but after calling Kicker support got it dialed in just right. I had it installed in the storage tray under the rear seat on the driver's side. Sounds great!

I wanted a subwoofer that went under my seat so I could utilize all of my truck space. If you want a door-thumping subwoofer that rattles your neighborhood, this is NOT the sub for you; no hideaway sub is going to blow you away. But if you're like me and still want some bump, it's a great package. It gives a conservative amount of bass without being overbearing. It's perfect for someone like me who only wanted to add a little more low end. I suggest you put it under your driver's seat to feel or more. Only real downside is the cost, preventing me from giving it 5 stars. Considering it's so compact and has its own amplifier, it's a great deal, but it still has a high price tag. I was fortunate to find an open box one for more than half off though. If you can find a sale or open box version, then jump on getting this sub.

I was looking for a small subwoofer to enhance the sound of my factory radio and this delivered that. This unit wont be rattling you neighbor’s windows but it delivers quality sound inside the vehicle. Easy to install if you have an idea of what you are doing.

I looked and looked and did research for hideaway subs. I don’t listen to much rap or hip hop so I do t need a big 12” booming system. I listen to classic and hard rock. Ac/dc, Metallica, Slayer, Led Zeppelin and so on. I find myself having to turn the volume down to 50% as it almost puts out to much bass. I wanted something to fill in the sound and make everything sound full. Boy was I surprised. The build quality is nice and tight, feels like it’s built really well and sounds great. I have it under the front passenger seat in my 2018 Ford Echo Sport. The price is a little high, but the quality of the build and sound show why it’s $300

My 1981 DeLorean has never sounded better! The acoustics are clear and Kick Box provides that solid boost of bass I was looking for! Many others recommended Kick Box so I knew I couldn’t go wrong, and you know what, they were totally right! Having worked in radio broadcasting I have worked in some of the best sounding studios in broadcasting. I needed a product that could perform, and the Kick Box was exactly what I needed to raise the bar in my classic car. Now, not only is she looking great, but sounding great too!!!

A lot better than I expected. Needed some bottom end to round off my factory system & this delivered beautifully. What I really like (besides the sound) is that Kicker gives you the option to use a switched power source to turn the amp off/on or a high level (speaker wire) to trigger it which saved me some install time. You won't be disappointed if you get this.

Wow.....until you hear this sub/amp in your car after completion of the install....you will be beyond amazed how this unit sounds. Perfectly clean non distorted. sound with NO rattle when your outside of the car. This exceeded my expectations....I highly recommend this combo to boost your base sound. I also like that it has a separate knob that gets mounted on your dash so that you can control the base intensity. You won't be disappointed!!

Great Sub For Adding Bass

I have a 2015 nissan sentra s with the factory low quality head unit. Which i wanted to keep for its ease of use, factory integration, and stock look to deter theft. I have upgraded the rest of my system with a JL audio RD400 amp driving two kicker 6x9's in the rear deck and two kicker 6.5's in the doors. Due to the factory head unit rolling the bass off at higher volumes and the overall poor quality of compressed music files the system still lacked the depth of true sound. I watched this sub for a year and when it finally went on sale for 195.00 i bought it. Its hook up could not be simpler. I purchased two RCA y adapters and split the signal to the JL amp then cut one end off of the y adapters to connect to the kicker sub. After much time adjusting and more to go i can say this is a very nice unit and performs very well. It is not large enough in size or power to be in the trunk and perform so it is in the cab of my car. It does exactly what I need it to do. My one warning would be this.. if you in your youth have had two 12's and a large fosgate or anything like that, do your self a favor and realize from the beginning this is not that system. It is an 8 with a 150 watt amp in a small enclosure. Once you are honest about what it is and align your expectations with that you will not be upset. Thanks Kicker and Best buy for a great product at a great price.

Just installed my kicker hideaway I got a great open box deal on this sub after a few weeks of sitting in my house I finally got around to installing this sub. Although it looks easy enough to install it was not so simple even for someone who's installed car audio like myself running the power wire through the fire wall and directly to the battery was tricky and then the task of splicing the rear speaker wires and then adding additional wires was not overly difficult but plugging in a couple rca cables is much easier the sound quality is better than expected paired with a new Alpine ute 73 bt it produces good deep bass I've only been using the hideaway for a day now but it sounds great so far and it's practically hidden away hince the name.

Sounds dope. Looks dope. Cheaper than dope. Im very happy with my little sneaky-link sub. I Have it mounted behind and centered of back seat. Gen 6 camaro. Turns the trunk into a box. Sounds super clean after adjustments. Id recommend it to anyone. Even that cop who gave me that speeding ticket that we both knew was  malarkey. Ya boy wasnt speeding heck no. Buy this hideaway if you want a little more. It will sound great and will floud out those mustang drivers screams. Kicker crew for life prrrrrrrrrr

Easy install. Doesn't take up space. Fills the car with more than an acceptable thump. If you're somewhere between intolerance of stock and disdain window shattering rigs like I am, this little unit is for you.

Love it! This sub is very nice! No boom, just good, tight, punchy, powerful bass. I'm an older gentleman, so the boom, and someone being able to hear me coming from a mile away doesn't appeal to me. I want the sound inside my vehicle and quality. This soon gives me that and it is installed under my driver's seat. Bravo to Kickers and to Best Buy for selling it!!! I love the sound of my system!!!
