" ... I’d like to begin by saying this speaker exceeded my expectations, which were lowered by the reviews/ answers to the questions about the speaker. ... I replaced my 2 12” kicker comp set with this speaker and I have SO MUCH more room in my trunk. ... "
" ... Excellent sounding enclosed subwoofer at a budget. ... "
" ... Although it is larger for a slim amp/sub combo, it still tucks nicely into the side of my trunk. ... So far great sound and it seems to get better every day. ... "
" ... Decent enough for a cheap(er) sub. ... "
" ... I would buy these speakers again ... "
" ... Sound quality is good! ... "
" ... Quite the contrary, in a two seat car this thing will bury the stereo, the exhaust, and any nearby tornados or atom bomb detonations you might encounter. ... I set the gain almost off and the sub output setting on my stereo fairly low and it still sounds/feels more like a live PA than a good set of studio monitors. ... "
" ... It sounds like . ... I absolutely love this sub! ... "

" ... Great bass and sound from this speaker. ... "
" ... It provided the level of Bass I expected. ... After I turned up subwoofer on head unit and turned on loud and gave it some bass boost the speaker really came to life. ... It is all the bass I will ever need as a 37 year old lol. ... "

" ... The actual enclosure fits really snug behind my seats (silverado 03 single cab.) ... The sound quality is great, it looks good if you ever want to pull the seat down and show anyone, and it really packs a punch for what it is. ... I don't know much about the area behind the seats on other trucks, but it was a really tight fit for my 03. ... "
" ... I bought this one specifically for it being a self contained slim design, which I hoped would fit under my '04 Odyssey's bench seat without cluttering the place up too much. ... Turns out it was a perfect fit, and the fuzzy cabinet grips the car's floor very well so it doesn't slide around. ... "
