Bought to install in an 80's VW, to partner upgraded factory size 4x6 speakers by JBL and Kenwood head unit. Before this unit the bass when driving was almost inaudible. Installed at the front, this provides bass response at least comparable or better than F30 BMW 3 series with under seat woofers, certainly more volume. Build quality is excellent, feels like a very solid piece of equipment and well finished, no buzz or rattles. Installation is very easy with supplied harness though if using low level RCA outputs (red and white sockets) you need to buy an appropriate RCA cable separately. Cannot fault sound quality and very easy to dial in to balance with existing full range speakers with the supplied remote control though control is a bit cheap feeling and cable is long and bulky. Would be good to be able to set up levels and unplug remote, keeping those settings but unplugging remote returns levels to default. Best to set up and tuck the remote out of the way with cable tied up beside sub or if possible, use head unit settings and leave remote. Quick hint for new sub users: this gives some thump but is really a good foundation for tuneful full range bass sound, not ideal for vibrating windows. When setting levels up, less is often more. Criticism elsewhere of distortion when turned up to full gain is not valid, any equipment is subject to this issue if improperly set up. Overall, really surprising performance for the price and size. If you need to fill out the sound from small/ bass light factory speakers, this is unbeatable. Am impressed and will buy again in the same circumstances. Read full review

Was expecting slightly more bass from It but if you don’t want to loose boot space with big box and only want to tweak sound system it’s not to bad looks nice feels quality product But had I tried it before buying would probably not have bought it might game same sounds with cheaper brand I’m thinking

My car has always been lacking in base. Its got uprated component speakers so the mid level and higher frequencies were fine. I wanted an easy and affordable method to add some bass without wasting any space in the boot where you'd normally put a bass speaker. This little bass speaker fits under the passenger seat and connects to the back of the head unit. It comes with all the cabling and fasteners required. As with any install it took a bit of time to hide the wires but once installed it sounded great.. Its surprising powerful for its size and adds much needed low frequencies. I'm extremely happy with this unit and would recommend it to anyone.

I installed this in a Vauxhall Corsa 2009. If you have a small car and you want to accommodate adult rear passengers then don't expect to mount it under the seat - It won't fit so it was located behind the drivers seat against the vertical wall below the rear seat where it didn't impact the rear passengers or getting in or our of the car. A much better location. The alloy casing made it easy to drill and tap an additional M4 hole to relocate the mounting bracket. Wiring was no problem. For signal in I used the phono jack line-out from the head unit so I had to buy a phono-phono stereo cable as the unit is only supplied with twin wire that hooks up to the speaker wires. It transforms the listening experience. A nice unit.

I paid £95 for mine and although it's been many years since I installed an amplifier to a car found it straight forward to hook it up to my pioneer head unit. I had to supply the rca subwoofer cable and the yellow power cable needed an eye connector to connect it direct to the battery positive terminal. Routing the power cable through the firewall was a fun challenge on my Scooby but I took my time to make it look professional . Routing the rest of the a little girl under the carpet from the rear footwell to the head unit was a squeeze but ensured a hidden professional install. For a small unit it packs quite a punch and definitely improves the bass in the car even with stock speakers. It's no monster but fills the cabin with rich bass and certainly for its size is very impressive. I highly recommend this type of subwoofer as a space saving way to upgrade your ice. Top marks kenwood.Read full review

This is very well built and feels very solid. Its a good size and does not take up much room at all. This will fit under the seat on most vehicle. This is very powerful for what it is and def adds the lower end bass. This has added what i wanted to my factory stereo.

If you want to compete with the kids and their boom boxes then forget it. If you want your ICE to sound like it came out of a Range Rover then read on. I have an old 4x4 and a lot of bass sound is lost in the space. Adding this has really made the system sound expensive. I have a regular Kenwood head unit which has a sub woofer switchable output in the menu so the whole thing can be controlled form the head unit. Wiring is very easy. In mine the constant power and ignition switch power were the same colour, just splice-in and thats it. Sound uses a RCA lead which you have to buy, If you measure before hand then you have no problem. Position the Sub where you want it fix the earth and you're done. Connect the remote if you want ( I did to begin with but found that I kept using one setting so set that on the head unit and disconnected the remote ). The sound is excellent. My head unit is 50 watts x 4 RMS the sub Is 150 watts and you can set the volume independently to get the right sound for taste. The sub gets warm to the touch, that is normal, but not hot, so don't worry. One caution. If you use the remote and set the sub volume to max, it is also possible to set the sub volume to max on the head unit which boosts output further. If you were playing heavy bass sounds at high overall volume you might damage it. Overall this is a very easy unit to install and for the money makes a fantastic difference. The sub is quite small and tucks under seats or you could ( like me ) fit it to the rear door. The remote is fun but if your head unit supports a sub then you may find it is easier to use that to set the sound. I would imagine in a smaller car it would be really quite loud.Read full review

Superb bit of kit, really did improve the sound on my standard head unit. If you are fitting it to a mini, feed it from the front channels as they have much more power output than the rears. It’s classed as an under seat, but wouldn’t fit under the seat of an R55 mini clubman. Easy (really easy) to fit and sounds great. Highly recommended.

Good product easy to install, came with all the cables required, you will need rca lead extension as the leads on this unit are only about 1 meter long which was the only downside, the improvment in sound quality is instantly noticeable, remote makes it easy to adjust depth of bass, wont blast your neighbours out but I just wanted better quality full range sound and tjis has defently provided that..

Makes factory fitted system sound very reasonable with out taking up space. Plenty volume. FYI tone not quite as low as a larger sub, but definite improvement to sound. very happy.
