Not for me
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a 2016 Dodge Charger R/T and because I have heated seats with the big cpu box underneath my seats I couldn’t get it installed. The installer was very helpful. I never got to hear it at the store it wasn’t on display.

Dnt waste your money
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought one that lasted ab 8 months . Then the second didn’t function properly from the beginning so I returned it . Sound quality was terrible. So I returned and got 3 10” kicker compR subs and the kicker 1200.1 amplifier. Couldn’t be happier!

Blew out within an hour after getting it installed

Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the kicker hideaway back a few days ago and i got it installed at best buy and within an hour after leaving best buy the kicker hideaway blows out. Now i have to wait a week and a half to get it back in to get it checked on.

Bad salesman
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So disappointed about this and am returning it. Salesman suggested I save money and buy an open box. Got home and it is missing brackets, cords and other pieces. Not my normal experience at Best Buy.

Who knows if it sounds good?
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don’t follow their fitment guide. Even if they say it will fit in your car the Best Buy installers can’t or won’t make it fit.
