    Got a slightly used one for sale if interested. For something so small it is very impressive!

    Did you wire it direct or with a sound processor? I'm interested in buying one myself to wire direct into stock stereo. Possibably mount under passenger seat if it will fit.

    Toyosass: sorry i just say your post. I ran mine from preamps on aftermarket HU but had the option to run directly from speakers. Either way I think would have been about the same. I just had more control over my sub through my HU using its pre-amps like turning sub on/off, adjusting filters and such.

    Yes it did fit under the passenger seat, there is a thread on here somewhere about installing that exact product and it suggested slightly moving one support beam, I did because I already had the seat out and it took 2 minutes. I am not sure it was necessary, but I did it just in case.

    For a small self powered sub it was pretty amazing, everyone the heard it was impressed. Don't get me wrong no competitions will be won but it will fill in that low gap.

    I have already sold mine, installed a JL Stealthbox. Whole different world of bass there.

    Sounds like just what I'm looking for. Just some fill for the stock unit. Thank you for your reply.

    Don't get me wrong I love my stealthbox but I kinda miss the kicker. It was just right. This jl slams, I need to dial it in correctly.

    If you can find a kicker at crutch field they always have coupons or promotions for discounts or credit toward next purchase, just search the net or ask the rep (it is always better to call). might get one cheaper through Sonic Electronix.

    I have a friend who has a Rockford Fosgate self powered sub, I have not seen or heard it but he said it was LOUD, but I think it is larger.

    Kicker install was a breeze, didn't take long at all.

    Good luck which ever route you to.
