Slim to no bass
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’ve never had bass this might be a slight increase, but I am insanely disappointed by the sound/bass this thing puts out and feel it was a waste of money in all honesty.

Dead on arrival
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was an open box item. I spent several hours wiring my truck to install this properly, only to find it didn’t work. When I called the Locker support, they told me the item was built in 2019, and marked defective in May of 2020. It seems that someone bought it, used it until it died and then returned it to. best buy. The item mustn’t have been tested before being sold again.

I feel like I’m being PUNK’D
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After reading all the positive reviews, I thought I had found a way to get the sound I wanted with a tight space. So I put in NOT ONE but TWO of these subs. These things are NOT worth $250! Now I’ll be removing them and getting a 10in powered sub. Don’t waste your money on these, unless you want the sound of like 2 extra door speakers which is what these sound like.

Not working yet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this one installed and it works intermittently. Kicker support has supported me really well so far with things to check. So far we have not resolved the problem though.

Would NOT recommend
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had this unit installed by best buy today, it's a HUGE let down. I am not an audio junkie BUT I know what good sound sounds like. I also went into this with very low expectations and was still disappointed. My vehicle had an 8" factory sub hooked up to my aftermarket radio and its sounded MUCH BETTER than this aftermarket sub does. I was instantly regretful as soon as I jumped into my truck and tried this out. I will be returning and sticking with my factory sub.

Horrible Service
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Horrible customer service. Purchased 2 of these units. Still have one that someone returned in a different box( serial numbers dont match). Took it back the same day and Best Buy tore the box up and threw it back at me. Said there was nothing they could do. $300 lost.
