    Extra parts for subwoofer

    I did curbside pickup during the pandemic, so they carried my subwoofer out to my vehicle. They sold me extra parts that I am going to have to return. They weren't offering installation at that time, so I brought it to a different car audio place to have it installed. They really didn't do anything above and beyond. I'd probably go somewhere else next time

    Fair to poor for a pre boxes amp and sub, but a separate amp and sub are much better .

    Purchased for Grandson for his truck to add a bit more bass. This unit is absolutely worthless and was a waste of my time to install. Returned it to BB and they said it was junk, which would have been nice to hear BEFORE wasting my time with it.

    Same issue that many others appear to of had, after about 5 months the sub suddenly stopped working. Sounds great when it did work. It’d be a gamble if you buy one because you truly don’t know how long it will work for.

    Sounds decent, no real vibration, just a bass sound. I would compare it to factory premium audio subwoofer.

    Speaker was blown when I received it

    I installed it and when I turned it on to test it, the speaker was blown. I purchased this model to fit under my SUV seat and not blow my kids ear drums, but the sound that came out of this during testing phase was just disheartening. I have returned the product, which Best Buy gave me no issues about and purchased another product. I have heard that this sub has had many issues before hand.

    Rattles right it off the box

    The friggin box rattles. I paid 300 bucks for this junk and it rattles inside the box. The problem is, I really took my time and installed it into the back of the rear seat. Flush. Looks beautiful. I didn't have the heart to take it off... So, it sits there, turned off. Because it rattles. Go get an ATOTO 10in for half the price and it'll rock you! I put two of those in my truck and they're great!

    I owned four of these and they are probably one of the worst purchases I have made. I have had to use Geek Squad warranty on every single one I owned and just switched to a different brand which has lasted twice as long already.

    Great powered sub for the average joe

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am just an average Joe looking to add a little base to my little convertible 2000 Chevy Tracker. Being a convertible, I didn't want to upgrade the main stereo head unit due to the risk of theft. What I wanted was to improve the sound quality but not spend a bunch of money, time, etc. I upgraded the four 6.5" speakers in the doors to 3 way speakers -the mid and highs were great, but the base left a lot to be desired. Turning up the volume (convertible down driving down the road) with just the door speakers caused a fair amount of rattles and distortion when adding in more base from the head unit. What I wanted was to use the speakers in the doors for mid's and highs, and something separate for the base. But I also needed something that didn't take up any valuable space in the back of the truck or was easily seen for potential theft. Turns out this little unit fits under the front seat, has PLENTY of base for the average Joe, was easy to install and easy to tune. I like the remote base adjustment. When I am with the significant other, I can turn down the base. When I am running down the freeway with the top down, I can crank up the stereo now and the sound is now clear and full through out the spectrum. Thanks Kicker. Its not the cheapest, but everything is pretty well included for the install. I'd call that value. I opted to use the remote 12 Volt signal to turn the unit on (I pulled the head unit and just connected into the wires there, including the speaker wires). Overall: if you just want to upgrade your current OEM system a bit, not invest a bunch of time or money in a sound system upgrade.. this unit might just be the ticket. Hindsight is 20/20 - I would do it again in a heart beat. I was amazed just how much base this little guy kicks out.. I was missing a lot.
