Title
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Found an open box at a store nearby because my original Kicker had stopped working. Plugged the open box amp in while I was in the parking lot to make sure it worked. It did. 4 days past the return date it stopped working too….now I have 2 that are useless. Not wasting any more money.

Minimal bass

Did not work
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately I installed past the 30 days after purchase and realized after installation that it was defective, keeps turning on and off, according to what I read, it is a common problem with this model.

Don’t waste your time!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Scheduled at the wrong store, didn’t have the equipment at the store. I waited 3 weeks for install only to be told it can’t be done the day of, so the next date they had was 7/22. So in other words it would have been another 3 weeks to get installed. So I happily asked for a refund and purchased somewhere else. They got me in that day and only took an hour and a half.

terrible subwoofer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Couldn't even tell it was on. Had it professionally installed by the Geek Squad and could not even tell a subwoofer was installed. the audio didnt sound any different. I was able to turn the subwoofer up a little more but the distortion was terrible. I ended up returning the product and getting something more powerful.

Get something else
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to replace my off brand $100 subwoofer. Which pretty much kick the crap out of this kicker sub. I had kicker sub before and they were good one i had. But this one save your money. Bass is not that good and was to big to fit under my seat.

Great sound, poor quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am on my second unit after the first one died randomly while on vacation. The remote bass control stopped functioning, which is okay because I hardly use it, but leaves me waiting for it to die again.

Went out twice
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was great when it worked. Had the first one for around 2months or so. It went out. I have total tech so I utilized the warranty and got a brand new replacement. It went out in less than 24 hours. Don’t buy it, waste of time and money.

Great until it stopped working.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased the sub woofer for ease of installation. Did not want something too large to eat up valuable trunk space in a sports car. Lasted approximately three months before it died. First time I've had a kicker product fail. It was still under manufacture warranty and my money was returned. I stuck with the kicker brand and went with a separate amp/sub woofer combination.

Kicker Hideaway more like fade away
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought on 07/08/2023 had best buy install it which everything went well now gotta get a new one since this one already went out no sound but has power. If you are looking for bass this ain't what you want save time and money.

Would be great...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was only stated in real small font on a small sticker that the wiring harness and instructions were missing. I wish that the clerk could have been more helpful by lettinge know these two very crucial items were not imcluded. I wanted to replace the door speakers in my new car before installing the kicker and by the time I realized the harness was missing it was too late to return.

Not a great sub
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my wife's car so it could go under the seat. The first blew out and the second barely has any output at all. Don't buy if you're looking for good bass.
