Fit perfectly, sounds good. Coupled with a nice and small Kenwood amp it just works and that's the best outcome I could have hoped for. Using it as a low end filler on an all alpine speaker set 2x 6.5, 2x tweeters, 2x 6x9, and adjusted just so, it fills the low end void they left. I probably wouldn't push this sub, it will probably explode, but for filling a hole in the audio and adding some extra thumps, it works perfectly fine. Best thing I can say is be reasonable with expectations.

I waited a year to write this review in order to be fair in my assessment and to also be able to speak to the durability of the product. I installed this sub in a Jeep Wrangler and powered it with a Rockford 5-channel amp that is also powering four 6.5s. I didn't want to take up a lot of space in the cargo area with a huge box and I really just wanted to round out the low end; I listen to a lot of classic rock and reggae so I was not looking to shake any windows since only about 10% of what I play falls within the rap or hip-hop genres. Initially, I was pretty underwhelmed with this sub - the first couple weeks gave me average performance at best and I did also experiment with some bass-heavy R&B just to see how it would perform. With the R&B, it produced a dull thud-like sound and with the classic rock, it really didn't sound very good when turned up loud enough to make a difference. But over the next month or so, it started to loosen up and sound more musical than noisy, and after about 3 months of moderate use, I became very happy with it. Again, I was not looking for club-quality bass, I just wanted to add some depth. That being said, it also performs very well now when I pop in some rap or hip-hop. Not a competition sub by any means, but I find myself needing to turn down the bass level for these genres. When the doors and top are off the Jeep, I'll adjust the bass knob a little higher and it is sounds great, even above the wind noise. My bottom line with this sub is that it is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to add nice tone to the lower end of the spectrum. It takes up a surprisingly small amount of space for a 10-inch, and i feel it is a bargain at this price point. The construction of the box itself is also very solid; it's had sports equipment, lawn supplies and such thrown on it, placed on it, been covered with it and a year later, it's no worse off than the day I got it. If you give it time to work itself in, you'll be happy.

Was able to fit this under the drivers seat of my 2016 Wrangler with a little bit of ingenuity. Sounds great for the price.

This review is more so for the box. As my speaker arrived damaged. Bought this for use in my 2007 Mazda MX-5 Miata. Actually mine was a warehouse deal. Original box and hardware was there. The problem was the sub. It sounded okay at low volume but once I got 1/4 past volume, you could tell that something was wrong (more on that in a bit) Before I returned it. I had an idea.... So I put it on my bench. Removed the screws. Took the sub out. Box was pretty dirty inside but nothing a some compressed air couldn’t take care of. Examining the sub, it had a dragging sound when the cone was pushed. Chances are the previous owner blew the sub and returned it. Yeah..... but the box is what I really wanted. So I did some homework and put in a different woofer. Enter the kicker compRT. It fits nicely with room to spare! I also added some polyfil inside the box. Now this little 8 comes alive in the foot well. Keep in mind that even from the stock set up, this is not going to rattle windows or annoy neighbors. It does a good job of being small and filling in the low end void of dash/door speakers. Running this now at 2 ohms with a sound ordnance m350.1. Once gains and crossover were set, this box and sub combo is very tight and accurate. Box is small enough to fit in many applications.

It was easy to connect, my car was prewired from a previous system, yet it went smoothly and sounds great, the low profile is perfect for my jeep and makes loading supplies much easier.

This speaker is supposed to be rated at 1500 watts. I have an amplifier that was dyno'd at 700 watts and it blew this sub in under a week. There's no way this is a 1500 watt speaker. Update: I got the blown speaker replaced and ordered a second one so they would be able to handle the power. Much better and they sound great. The bad: THESE ENCLOSURES SMELL SO BAD! They make my whole car smell like a fart combined with B.O. I've used TWO bottles of Fabreze on these enclosures and they still reek. I may have to replace the enclosures! Holy glob they smell bad!

I have it hooked up to a 500w max output Sony amp. It sounded pretty good for a couple of weeks, but it was obvious to me that the little Sony amp was as much as this speaker would suffer from day one. Right after the return window closed it started sounding terrible! Sounds like the box is coming apart or something. At first I thought something in the car was rattling but it's the speaker itself. Contacted their support and will update if they respond.

Need 5 gauge wiring kit. Take time running wires and have a continuity test light handy for finding a good ground and to troubleshoot if amp for some reason don't have power. Has good sound. Good bass. Overall if your not looking for super loud bass that's not gonna make your ears ring. This is a good subwoofer. Have it paired with Orion 6.75" speakers. I'm happy with the subwoofer amp enclosure
