    It's cool I like the fact that it is able to be hidden but it doesn't have any adjustments it literally just makes it louder

    I like mine. I've been running it for about a month now, and I prefer it in the "Low" gain setting. It does make the deck louder, but it also improves the sound when it's louder. One thing I noticed on my deck was that at higher volumes, the mids and lows would break up. After installing the power pack, it's really improved that, and I can turn it up without distortion. Not a bad way to go for $150, and it fits behind the deck in the dash. There's a bundle of wires that runs across the back of the opening for the HU, and it fits just above that bundle, and stays put.
