Kicker Kicks it Up
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Five months ago I had the sense to buy a 2012 Chevy Sonic (Hatchback)... For those of you not familiar with this car, its small. It holds great similarity to the Honda Fit, or Chevy Aveo. While the car is great the sound system left me wanting a little more. The Kicker Hideaway is crazy small and fits in the back of my car like it wasn't there... I'm not joking this thing is tiny... so much so that I really really expected little change in the quality of the audio. Best-buy installed it in little under an hour. The install guy turned the car on and we sat inside listening to music with the bass turned off... he told me to crank it up and holy carp I couldn't believe the difference... it blew me away at how it changed the sound. This product is amazing.. no its not the best sub on the market but it is the smallest and not bad price wise. Don't get me wrong the bass sounds amazing I'm just saying I'm not setting off car alarms or cracking windows with it. I drive over a hundred miles a day for work.... and I couldn't ask for more now.

Was great while it lasted
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't need the neighborhood to hear me coming so this unit worked great. Added a nice subtle thump to my listening pleasure...until it died less than a year later. Bought it for my bro's car too and his also died under a year. Annoying. I think its just the speaker which Kicker sells separately for about 60.00 if you buy through them.

I didn't like it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When you install it for the first time, it sounds great, requires a minimum space and can hide at any place in your truck. 3 weeks later something was wrong with it and started do a bad noise every time the bass sounds. I think the enclosure wasn't too strong and got broke in some point, the quality of the sound was poor and if you turn the volume up there was that noise of a woofer without an enclosure. If you want to have just a LITTLE extra bass for your car it is definitely for you, but if you will run it to the maximum It would broke.

Poor sound and lasted 47 days and died
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wasn’t expecting much and did add some depth to music but by no means any more than a 6x9 that’s in my door. Worse yet is it stopped work 2 days after my 45 day return window.

Don’t Buy!!
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device didn’t last long. It was only in my truck for 2 months and it stopped working. I would not recommend the product to anyone don’t waste your money on it. Spend a little extra money and get an amp and speakers. Make sure you purchase total tech so all you devices are covered under warranty!!

Seemed Like a Great Product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately, it was not fit for purpose for me as the sub was too big to fit under my seats and not large enough for my big trunk and rather loud engine.

Geek Squad couldn’t or didn’t want to install
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The one star review isn’t really directed to the product but more to the Geek squad install (or lack there of) service. I bought this subwoofer to add a little kick to my stocked sound system. I even purchased the wiring kit to find out on the say of install that I didn’t need to buy the wiring kit because the kicker came with everything I needed. Before scheduling the appointment, I saw several YouTube videos and noticed that most people showing how to install under the driver or passenger seat had actually removed the seat to install the unit. Best Buy Geek squad didn’t want to do that. The “tech” said that the woofer wouldn’t slide into my seat and that they weren’t allowed to remove the car seat. Long story short, i had to return the item because geek squad couldn’t install the sub woofer.
