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.

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.

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

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!!

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!!!

The Kicker Hideaway is amazing sound and fits nicely under the seat of my Jeep. It packs a punch and clean crisp sound all for a bargain price. Definitely recommend the Hideaway to anyone looking to add a little bass and enhance their current sound system

I love this all in one amp and subwoofer. Easy installation, fits in compact areas and sounds great. Kicker did their home work on this package. When I ran into a snag on the wiring, tech support was fast to help. I like this unit so much that I also installed one in a resto-mod that I built.

This is a great buy, don't let this little guy fool you, it packs a punch. Deep rich base, and nice thing it can be hidden. It might not be the perfect solution if you want the entire world to hear your base but I knew that and not into that.
It uses the inside of your vehicle as a huge enclosure. Plenty of hard hitting base and enough to keep you satisfied.
Don't rattle the trunk and annoying people which I am in no need for. Having a huge sub in the trunk seems tacky and I don't like the trunk rattle. Makes it sound very cheap.
Small, compact, easy to hide so no one steals it. Absolute love it.

I added this to the Sync 3 system in my 2015 Ford F-150. 2015 and up models have a jack in the driver side C pillar where you can easily add a subwoofer to the stock system and Ford actually used Kicker subs in their stock stereo system options. After enabling the subwoofer option using ForScan, this adds a nice low end without thumping too hard. This fit perfectly behind the back seat without having to cut or modify anything. Still working great after 1 year!

I bought this for my Jeep planning to put it under one the front seats. It’s a little bigger than I thought so I’ll work on plan B and come up with a plan to mount it in the rear. The sound is awesome after I got it working. The pin for the 12v remote power backed out of the connector and was bent so make sure to check that if you have power up issues. Other than that the sound is great and I am very happy with it. I put kicker speakers in the sound bar and in the dash as replacements for the factory speakers last year and the sound is so much better now.

Awesome addition to my 2018 Accord Sport factory audio system. Adds the bass that the factory system lacks. The lows are a weak point for this sub but with some tunning its not all that bad. If you are looking for something to rattle some windows this isnt it, however it does produce a decent amount of bass to vibrate the rear view mirror and seats. Installation was fairly easy. Not wanting to cut or tap into factory wiring I purchased an Axxess harness to easily hook up the sub. About a 4-5 hour job

My Jeep Wrangler JKU base stereo sounded ok, but lacked bass. This system tucks under my passenger seat, and now it sounds great. Took some doing to track down the right speaker wires, but fortunately, they are hidden in the door pillars - so could tap left & right rear speakers right behind passenger seat in the pillar, and the power I could run through a small hole in the firewall up near the passenger side mirror (you tube it). I'm not an expert, but did it in an afternoon (3-4 hrs) by myself. Huge improvement over the stock system. I couldn't use the fancy "power on trigger" and ended up having to run a power line to the fuse box (accessory outlet), so that it powers on when the jeep is turned on.

This made a CONSIDERABLE difference in the overall sound of my factory, 6 speaker system in my 2019 base Hellcat Redeye sound system. I installed it under the passenger seat, Ran the wires back along the door sill to the trunk And then tapped into the rear battery and speakers. Installed very quickly in about 2 hours.
Once i adjusted the gain, i couldn't believe the difference! It was night and day! A. HUGE improvement.
Normally set to 100 percent maxed out on the bass, I was able to turn my factory bass settings way down, which alone allows for the factory speakers to have a much improved sound, since they are not burdened with having to handle the bass.
The sub, once you get the gain, Frequency range and bass boost dialed in, is punchy and tight. I could not believe the quality at this price and simplicity of install.
Hight recommended!!

Overall this powered sub is a well made, quality product. It’s very simple to install. The sound quality is good, but I was hoping for a little bit more bass out of it, but it did help fill out the low end bass that my system was lacking. It did take a bit of tuning to get it to sound right. There was a few things that I didn’t like about the power sub. First there aren’t any RCA inputs, but there are input wires in the harness that can accept hi or low inputs. You need to splice in RCA connectors if you want to use RCAs. Also, these input wires are short, around 2 feet.
