Review: I hooked up the blue remote to a wire lead to the fuse tap into the heated seats fuse which I don't have so it was a good slot to choose especially since it turns on with ... - I just got "most" of it installed ('17 Nissan Frontier) - took me about a few hours so far since I took my time to do it right. I did spend about an hour trying to troubleshoot an issue with my installation. The amp LED kept switch from blue (running ok) to red (problem) and sometimes a flickering red when my factory head unit was > 10 volume. I was testing the DC turn on since I was trying to cut a step and not have to run a remote wire. The symptoms turned out to be the remote! I hooked up the blue remote to a wire lead to the fuse tap into the heated seats fuse which I don't have so it was a good slot to choose especially since it turns on with the ignition. Flipped the switch from DC turn on to the remote 12v and works just like any other amp. No more issues... It's hot out so I'm taking a break and will need to hide the remote wire. # Pros - Great additions to crew cab truck with factory system. It won't blast the vehicle but it will provide the missing low end for stock systems. I've installed so many different systems in the past - JL 2x 12", rockfords 2x 10", kicker solo barics 2x 10" and 2x 12" etc... - Arrived looking brand new and packaged well. - Responsive clean bass. Not sloppy sounding at all. Sounds amazing paired to my factory 6 speaker stereo system. # Cons - DC turn on failed to work and it reported symptoms of low power or bad ground. This was my first time trying DC turn on and based on my experience will never let that feature fool me again. This was not mentioned in the troubleshooting section of the manual. Apparently some speakers need to produce a specific voltage in order for this to work... Always run the remote - it's more reliable... - Took a lot of effort to install something that is suppose to be more "plug and play". I blame the marketing making it sound easy however it's the same install as any other system just smaller wires. - Length of the remote wire is way too short. It's almost as short as the ground... why?! - Design flaw of the remote / dc turn on switch. When it's on DC turn on - the polarity changes and the power becomes a line to turn on other amplifiers via remote. When it's on remote, it's receiving power to signal the amp to turn on. I can see fuses getting blown due to this switch. Be careful. # Conclusion It's a great system for the refurbish price of $150 and I wouldn't have spent any more especially knowing the DC turn on is either defective or just doesn't work as designed. I wouldn't spend the current $220 and absolutely not at the > $300 price tag. I had sweat, blood, and tears installing this thing. I can see the install being much easier with a car since most cars have the rear deck where tapping those wires might be easier however a crew cab truck - you will need to remove the interior cover to the pillars. Same thing will apply for most SUVs. Having experienced with more high-end and high-powered systems (> 2k watts) - I feel like I should have just installed a custom box running the shallow 10" kicker instead. This is only for those who want to enhance a factory system since if you want something more, you will be better off running more serious cables. This is the smallest woofer I've installed and I'm happy with the output. # Update 2017-08-16 I'm pretty sure the woofer is now broken in and it sounds fantastic. I had to come back and bumped it up (no pun intended) from 4 stars to 5 since I really like this product and for the refurbished price of $150 - it's one of the best bargains I've experienced this year. I never got to demo this product before I purchased it and I do not regret buying it. I blindly purchased this without hearing it because it's by Kicker and I've never had a bad experience with any of their products in the past. # Update 2017-09-01 Uploaded photos of it installed in the CC Frontier.
Review: Works very well, sounds amazing. Easily hidden. Powerful. - Wow. Great sound from a small footprint! Easily fit under the rear seat of my 2000 Jeep Wranger TJ. Sound is very punchy and deep! Sounds like I have a custom setup going. Plenty loud. Even has a bass button you can install near the drivers seat for adjustment on the go. I had Best Buy's Geek Squad install mine, even though I bought it here. The tech said that the wiring that comes with these speakers is better than the RCA cables that desertcart also recommended and told me to return those, and the RCA adapter I also bought. I would have to say he was right, the sound is incredible. Nice and deep. Pairs nicely with the speakers in my roll bar and dash. I couldn't be happier! It's only been a day so I will update if things change. It did have some small scuffs on it when I pulled it out of the box but that is to be expected from a refurbished item that gets installed under seats and such. So I didn't knock anything off, because I expected that, but some might not.

A: Yes comes with all you need to install in vechile

**Q: DOES it have a built in crossover so it only produces the bass of the music?**
A: This unit has an adjustable crossover so you can alter what frequencies are produced. It is a nice unit for small spaces. I use it in a Jeep and it does quite nicely.

### ⭐ quit right after 90 day warranty
*by C***7 on July 8, 2023*

This speaker sounded good while it lasted. It was installed for about 60 days, but has been over 100 days since I ordered it. $200 wasted, I should have bought new and gotten the 12 month factory warranty. It as a pain to install in my car, so I'm probably going to order another and get the extended warranty next time. I did verify that the wires and everything is still good by swapping with a kicker in another car that has the same harness.
