Customer Ratings & Reviews

I must say that I am truly impressed with the performance of this sub. For only having 150 watts and an 8" sub woofer it really packs a punch. It was simple to install thanks to the simple to connect wiring harness and hardware included. I was so impressed with the Kicker Hideaway that I replaced all my factory speakers with the Kicker CS Series speakers. My Mini Cooper now sounds Amazing! Well done Kicker for designing such incredible speakers.

Its pretty much what I expected - but it also exceeded my expectations. I cannot expect a portable unit so small to kick out a lot of bass but I was pleasantly surprised! This small unit works as advertised and more! Very pleased with unit although its a little pricey.

I was surprised at how much this little sub helped out my Tundra's low end. I bolted it directly to the floor under my rear seat, so that definitely helps radiate the bass. It hits pretty hard for only 150watts.

So i purchased the Hideaway 8 on friday. Simple install except for the misleading info that you dont have to hook the remote wire up if you wire it threw front speakers. Thats not the case i did what manual said ran all the wires turned it on as i increased the volume the light starts flickering and goes red and shuts off. Checked all connections tried again same result. I then tapped a 12v acc fuse from up front ran wire and connected it to remote wire in the harness and turned it on no issues light stays blue no flickering or shutting off. Sounds great with the 4 kicker ks 6x9 in the doors and 3.5 kicker ks in the dash corners. So i would have give it a 5 but the misleading instructions and extra time trouble shooting sweating in my garage it gets a 3. I installed it in a 2014 Ram 2500 using factory headunit so im guessing it didnt put out enough voltage to run just off wires from speakers. Tap into front speakers for best sound and run remote wire even though its says you dont have to to save you the headache of wondering why it keeps shutting off just my advice

Awesome sub for small spaces, packs way more of a punch than i expected for the size. Would definitely recommend if you have a size limitation

A little back story...I recently bought a jeep, without the Alpine sound system. I was bummed I wasn't able to find the jeep with the sound system. I didn't want to add any big subwoofer box in my jeep to get the amazing bass sound. However, a friend of mine mentioned this compact amp/subwoofer combo that seemed to be my solution. I made the decision to buy it and I can say it was money well spent. Besides this I also upgraded my factory speakers to Kicker as well, which alone sucked. Combined with this sub/amp combo, I couldn't ask for a better setup. 100% satisfied. Easy install too. I consider myself average when it comes to stereo installs/well above-average on car knowledge, so keep that in mind if you plan on doing the work yourself.

i bought this because my truck is short on space, and i needed somthing small but loud. it took me about 2 hours to install because i was expecting it to come more (plug in and play) ready. Instead i had to splice in the fues, and had to add on to some of the wires because they were a little short also the plugs for the back of my stereo i also had to add on. in this case i wish i would have just got a seprate amp and subwoofer, because this combo is not that strong/powerfull, and took just about as much work as having everything seperate.

The Hideway Subwoof speaker fits perfectly under backseat of my Ford F-350 and gives me just the amount of bass I was looking for. A+

I love the sound and the cost. The tech dude was kool and fast.

just had this kicker hideaway installed in my 2010 honda civic coupe. I knew that I didn't want a boxed sub for the trunk, and I don't want to be one of 'those guys' that bump to be obnoxious. I just wanted a full audio experience when listening to music, and I was not disappointed. The installer at Yorba Linda best buy did a great job of installing underneath passenger seat. I don't even have the control knob turned halfway, and the bass is still too much lol. I am not disappointed in any way at all. Would totally recommend this product to anyone, who's main objective is to add smooth, rich bass to their listening experience.

The sound quality was very good and it fit perfectly under the passenger seat of my Civic. The speaker went dead within 3 years but there could have been other factors at play there.

Got this to enhance the bass, not rattle my trunk at stop signs, and that is about what it has provided. I had a nightmare of an installation that took 4 trips to my local Best Buy and damage to my car but a month later, I have forgotten and forgiven. The biggest beef I have is the controller they installed by my right knee to control the bass on the sub must not work, because 1 and 10 on the knob give me the same results. I'm sure the technician forgot to hook it up or something, go figure!

I used to have a Mazda 3, and had a 12" kicker in the trunk. I loved the deep bass it gave me. Then I got a Mini Clubman, and the sub alone literally took up half my cargo space (didn't think that through). I knew about the hideaway, but was worried I wouldn't get the big bass payoff I was looking for from such a small thing. I decided to go for it anyway. I needed the room. I have to say that I'm so glad I did! I'm thinking now that my 12" would have been WAY too much. This is absolutely perfect for my small car. Great sound, and I still have cargo space!

Exactly what I wanted. I purshased two units and had them installed underneath the front seats. I wanted bass that wouldnt rattle my brain or upset the neighbors. I wanted a setup that could cleanly produce all different level of bass. This 8' 150watt sub x2 does a perfect job. I can truly say the overall performance is better then I was expecting. I am so satisfied that I went with this setup. Granted having 2 definitely makes a big difference.

I purchased this for my 2015 F-150 XLT. This is the perfect companion for the factory system. The bass is clean and this sub does a great job of complimenting and enhancing the factory speakers. Ford wanted $699 for a factory installed option and this was $399 from Best Buy installed and I can take it with me if I decide to buy another truck. Best Buy's install service was wonderful.

Very easy to install fits great behind the seat of my truck and sounds great.

This subwoofer is an amazing compliment to any small car or truck audio system. It doesn't rattle your doors but it does shake the seats a lot. If you are trying to run wires to the head unit it is a little tricky but it is possible. Overall it is a great subwoofer.

I just had this installed yesterday to supplement my stock Sync 3 system in my 2017 F250 4x4 diesel , replaced all the stock speakers . I’m sure it takes a while for break In but so far it sounds like it’s going to supplement the bottom end of my system very nicely. It’s not a cheap Option but nothing is with new cars these days. Time will tell how it breaks in and the final Sound. I will be buying the protection plan so I’m not scared to put a little volume they it.

spectacular sound. Great bass. Excellent quality. I installed under the passenger seat in a trailblazer with great results.

Installed this along with a Kenwood head unit and kicker door speakers in my 2005 Ford Explorer. The kicker door speakers just lacked the "punch" I was looking for. I didn't want the annoying boom that comes from a big sub and amp, just enough to feel the music and this thing delivered exactly what I was looking for. I've only got the bass turned up about half way and that's just enough for me. I'm very happy I made the choice of buying this powered sub.
