Review: Great Sound! - Great sub! Easy install and the quality is there. The 10’ sub gives a great thump and fills the lower end nicely. It won’t rattle windows but the sound is clear and crisp. It does not sound distorted. The enclosure is compact, sturdy and fits under my seat. I will say that sitting in different areas of the car change the fullness of the sound. I have it under my driver seat and it sounds great but when I sit in the passenger rear seat, I don’t hear the bass as profound as I do when I’m sitting in the driver seat. Overall, I would highly recommend it. Especially for the price compared to some of the other products on here. I used a Boss 8gauge amp wire kit for my install and works perfect. Maybe a 4gauge would be preferred to prevent any overheating but an 8 is good enough. Oxygen Free cables would be the go to but I cheaped out. If you’re on the fence about it let me give you the nudge to get it! I think it’s great and worth the 100$ for an inclusive compact sub. DO IT!!!
Review: Very Nice Sub for the Price... Added a second 1! Update # 4 - This Sub (not really a Sub but whatever you want to call it) is very nice for the price IF you have a factory stereo or an aftermarket stereo with no amps connected..But you shouldnt expect this thing to play real loud..I got it hoping it would be a little louder for my system..have a 100x4 amp with Alpine 6x9s and 6.5 door components,,at low to moderate sound it is fine almost perfect but if you have a loud system when you play it loud this speaker will got overpowered . And thats with the gain at max and the bass boost at near max. I placed it behind driver seat in a 04 Grand Prix...under the seat I felt it didnt sound as good..I doubt I will keep it in my current set up but will probably keep it for the second car since the freight to return it would be to much to merit returning it. I give it 5 stars for the price and performance on non amped stereos and 3 stars for How much I like it in my system If you have a non high powered stereo and you wont put it in the trunk (you cant tell its there in a trunk) then for the price I think you will love it. UPDATE::: Ok I have had this sub for about 7 months and have had hooked up 3 different ways..( all we're with my above mentioned speakers and amp)) FIRST.was connected to factory radio which is what my review was made..then SECOND OFF I installed a Sony deck and it made the sub sound a noticeabley better and was little more impressed with the sub..THIRD OFF I went back to my factory deck but installed a Clarion EQS755 equalizer and OMG what a difference unreal how much bass this Sub puts out now! I even had to turn the Sub gain down to 1/2 way ( I had it at 3/4 before EQ)and again it sounds unreal for a 8" Sub (again I have it behind front seat on rear seat floorboard)BUT for some reason it kept cutting off with the Clarion don't know why so I am back to having it connected to the Sony Deck and I will say even when I have it up very loud you do notice it and t makes a difference ( when I turn it off with the deck you see what a difference it makes.) Through all my connections I would say a aftermarket deck will make the most difference as compared to a factory deck ( it got drowned out easier with the factory deck) I don't listen to rap or hip hop mostly hard rock / rock .. if you listen to rap and hip hop I doubt you will be as impressed as it struggles with super low bass ( but it's a 8" sub so I doubt anyone would think it would rock with rap or hip hop) If it lasts its an absolute steal now! I now give it 5 stars! UPDATE #2…........ I know have 2 of these installed in my car 1 behind driver seat and 1 behind passenger seat and adding the second one made a big difference ( no duh! Right?) And with adding the second one the subs never get "drowned out" by my amped speakers and at times it's to much bass to be honest but loving this lil sub big time! No it's not "audiophile" quality and it doesn't hit like two 10s or 12's but with the subs on the floorboard I don't have that God awfull trunk rattle sound on the outside that I have had in the past when I had subs in the trunk (not to mention I can use all of my trunk without a huge sub box in it) my rear view mirror vibrates like crazy at times ( it vibrated when I had just the 1 also) but no it won't vibrate your side view mirrors in case you were curious...people have gotten in my car I asked what subs I had in the trunk ( they didn't notice I had 2 of these on the rear floorboards). I know most people don't plan on getting 2 of these (again 1 will be noticeable) but if your thinking of getting 2 or adding another one to your excisting sub.. Do it! Also I don't currently bus the amp gain dash knob but since my decks sub volume adjustment seems to be all or nothing I plan to add the knob but will wire both subs to 1 gain knob.. UPDATE#3 Thought I would make another update since I am sure some people (and some reviews) have had problems with it lasting..Well I am at almost 2 years (1st one was installed Aug/2018 2nd one Dec/2018) and I have never had a problem with either on although when I had just the 1 and I was driving for over an hour with stereo cranked it id go into protective mode 1 time... But other than that they work perfect and sound great (for the price and knowing these arent going to be heard blocks away...But again I have a 100watt rms Pioneer GM-D8704 powering rear JBL 6x9s and front JBL 6.5 compoents and both subs are more than enough to keep up and at times sounds like I have 10s ..Just 1 had a lil harder time keeping up and at times got overpowered but that never happens with 2 unless I want to make my ears bleed. UPDATE #4 May 2025---- I still had both of these and they both still work after getting years of use, dont have a car to put them in since I recently got rid of my 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium W/Sony stereo ... man did I get moneys worth out of them!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ compact size, decent bass
*by R***S on April 14, 2026*

surprisingly good for the money! I added it (with much difficulty) to my 2020 Mazda6 (non-Bose) stereo. This would have been an easier install if the factory stereo had rca pre-outs. Compact size fit right under the passenger seat and the extra bass really makes stock system sound pretty good.
