This 8” subwoofer bangs! So easy to install, wish I would have bought 2! I’ll definitely be putting a couple in my other vehicles as I love the bass for ME, but don’t need to blow the block down with bass. Excellent work.

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!

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.

Installed this quite a while ago and have had zero issues with it, it’s a little pricey but it was nice to not have to find multiple mounting locations in my truck for separate components. Almost sounds like a 10’’, obviously no crazy bass but it does sound really good in my F150 mounted behind the seat. I’m happy with it!

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

Put alpine speakers and alpine amp in prior to this sub install, and that was way better than the stock system. With this subwoofer, it made a huge improvement in sound. Being under the seat also saved room because no enclosure was necessary. For the Wrangler, it's perfect.

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.

For a small Subwoofer with a self contained amp, this has an excellent sound for what it is.
It's a great starter Sub
for your vehicle without having to spend a lot of moolah. I would purchase this product again. Always purchase the 4 year protection plan as well. For under $35, it's a bargain.

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.
