    This subwoofer is used for a few of my van rentals, it’s easy to install and I’m able to remove it to clean the area. Sounds great and that’s why I continue to buy them.

    Nice little "extra"

    I love that it fit nice and snug under the front passenger seat! It gives off a nice, extra, "bump", that I was hoping for! I'm not a huge fan of the feedback that happens everytime I start my car or listen to a song that doesn't really have a good base line, so I'm trying to get in the habit of turning the dial all the way down everytime I exit my car. Otherwise, I enjoy the "extra" umph!! Side note, Best Buy's install techs were amazing to work with and had me in and out in a couple hours!!

    If you looking for heavy bass this won’t give it to you. But if you are looking to add a bass to a weaker stereo system this does the job. My wife’s car stereo was ok but the speakers lacked bass she didn’t want a new system so I added this subwoofer under her front seat and it helped. Not perfect but better than what we had.

    I highly recommend paying for the extended warranty as reviews online says the unit has a history of random failure. That being said, I have not had any problems and I absolutely love my sub. It gives me enough bass to really fill out the sound without having to give up my trunk space. If you can find an open box unit, I recommend doing that, as $300 is way too expensive... but there really aren't any better options.

    I had this subwoofer installed in my wife’s new Ford Explorer under the driver’s seat and was very pleased with the power and bass this unit provides even hooked up to the car’s stock sound system. The bass is deep and rich and doesn’t distort even at high volume levels. A quality sub for a great price and Best Buy’s installation team made it quick and easy to install. Would definitely recommend!

    LOUD BASS: What you would expect from A Kicker

    WOW!!!!! KICKER did it again. I added this "Hideaway" amp to my 2014 RAM 1500 truck and it ROCKS!!! I love it. It has added the much needed Bass that my truck radio system needed. It was very easy to install. Took me 45 minutes. And it makes a HUGE difference.

    VERY NICE under the back seat of my truck. I keep mine set about 1/2 way for a nice bass sound without drowning out the rest of my music. Large punch in a small package for sure. One of the best upgrades I have done for my truck.

    Great little sub for a stock system

    I got this sub for a 2013 accord that has absolutely no bass to it, even thought the system advertised "360 watts and a sub" the sub was an 8 inch speaker that has no power. I had this nice Kicker installed and tuned in, and it really helps. No its not a 10" or 12" sub in a ported box with a 1000w amp pushing it. But for space reasons and not needing earth-shattering bass, this Kicker does nicely.

    I just wanted a little more bass for my system & that's what I got. These are a nice speaker amp combo didn't take up much room I had them installed under my rear seat. I can tell you a one 8" speaker in a ported box will blow theses away. Like I said just just a little more bass & keep my space.

    My wife is a musician and was not satisfied with the sound from the speakers in her new vehicle. A local custom shop said they could "hook me up" starting at $3,500.00! ....I went to Best buy, and this little box more than meets her needs. She even has to turn the bass down now, which she never does. We are almost shaking the street, although that is not our style! A good buy for those of us who can't spend thousands on a system.

    If the goal is to add a depth/fill in low frequencies with a factory system it does the job well.

    I didn’t expect this unit to ‘blow away’ but it’s enough to give me more bass with my factory radio. And it actually fits in a Miata!

    Decent for the size. The high pass filter is the only problem with this sub/amp. If it receives to high of a signal it starts cutting out and turns off at medium to high volumes. I had to set the fade way off of the rear to the front to be able to get it to stay on. Pretty sure the solution would be a line level filter. Going to add one on and see if it improves. Either hook it up with an eca adapter to low level imput if u have a aftermarket deck or a line level imput adapter is mandatory.

    Had limited space to give up in a hybrid fusion wanted to add a little bass to the factory system on a budget. On sale this seemed to fit the bill. It won't blow you away especially being in the trunk but for a compact package it sounds good and has very tight response and sounds better than most factory subs I have heard.

    Sounds great in a single cab truck. My aftermarket speakers sound great but won't take much bass but after adding this powered sub it gave it just the amount I wanted. Just enough room behind the seat on an '03 F-150 single cab, will not fit under non power seat.

    Dramatically improved the sound of our standard 2020 Chevrolet Malibu's standard stereo. Even the FM Radio is better because there is now bass. We were pleasantly surprised and recommend the product as an addition to a factory stereo.

    I found the kicker hideaway sub to be a great product for the price. It sound excellent with plenty of bass for my truck. My stereo now sound like a much more expensive system. I was pleased with the installation and have not had a problem with this product at all! I would recommend it since I have put one in my last two trucks.
