So I wanted a subwoofer to add a little bit of depth to my factory fitted stereo in my car. (Ford Galaxy Titanium X) Did a bit of reading up on reviews and decided to give this one a try. Fitting is quite tricky if you are you fitting this to a factory fit stereo as you most probably like myself won’t have rca outputs or an obvious remote lead so you will have to do research to find out which cables are for which speaker etc Ford would not help me on this matter for some stupid reason but information is there online if you look hard enough for it. Getting to the actual speaker itself once fitted is very very good. Quite shocking actually. I started by trying it with the gain set at half way and it was way to much it overpowered the speakers in the car. There was also no distortion neither. The sub hits all the different ranges very well and that is straight from the box and once a few weeks have passed when it’s worn in I’m sure it will sound a bit better too. The build quality is very robust and well made it looks like it will last a long time. Overall I can’t praise this little unit enough, this little kicker sub puts out a lovely beat and you can’t even see it in the car. If like me you just wanna add a little something extra to your factory stereo this sub will deliver that plus more if you want it. It really is a great piece of kit. Read full review

I ran across a old lady owned Toyota I couldn't turn down, had all blown speakers, I added this to the stock tape player radio, replaced the stock 4" speakers with Kicker in front and rear doors, placed unit under the passenger seat, and it supplemented the sound quite well. Spliced into the front door speakers, tapped a fuse, hooked up the ground wire, and that is it. Works pretty good and best of all takes no trunk space or added excessive weight. I'm ordering one more for my Avalanche that has an Alpine DVD system with TV screens, amp and sub set up in it now. The whole unit is the size of my amp alone. I hope it lasts a long time.

Installed this in my 2012 F-150. The stock speakers had no bass and this really rounded out the sound. Sounds great and added an impressive amount of bass for its size. Fit perfectly underneath the front passenger seat.

I needed to come back and update my review. I was not impressed with the Hideaway on initial purchase. But since my original review I have done a lot of research and also bought a new car. I took the Hideaway out of my Hyundai when I traded it in for a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I had bought an Audio Control LC2i active line out converter (LOC) to see if I could get any improvement out of the Hideaway. First off, I think I had a short in one of my audio cables running to Hideaway. I tripple checked connections this time and added the LOC. I installed the Hideaway under my front driver seat. Well? Oh my god! Wow! Holy smokes. I am beside myself with the difference. I feel like I went from 0 to 1000 with the difference. I'm almost speechless with how well this now sounds. And boy, with the unit under the driver's seat I can not only hear pretty dang decent low end, but I can FEEL it too. My entire body is reverberating from the bass. It seems to "mostly" be isolated to chest thumping in my seat, the rear view mirror isn't vibrating but I've gone from "meh" to "hell ya!". If you get a Hideaway, get an LC2i LOC. It's worth it. I'm a believer now Old Review: ----------------- I bought this item refurbished for approx. $150.00 (down from $220.00 new), my stock Stereo in my Hyundai Santa Fe Sport was lacking "a bit" in the low end department, and I wanted to add something that could be installed without having to modify my SUV, and hide away the speaker, but get the benefit of the added sound. This being my first aftermarket SUB install, I got pretty OCD about it - spent several hours hooking up large gauge wire (4 gauge to the battery and ground) - I bought a separate amp wire kit for this. I didn't want to splice into my existing stock unit, so I found an wiring harness for my stock radio that added RCA out. I was a little disappointed that I had to add in RCA jacks to the Kicker Hideaway - and the official Kicker brand ones that are mentioned in the instruction guide are not even sold anymore. Finally after hooking everything up, I was underwhelmed with the output - I turn all channels on this thing all the way to full, and it just fills in the sound a bit - certainly no vibrations, just a little added range. I went back through the wiring and also hooked my phone directly up to the inputs on this thing just to make sure my RCA/line out from my stereo wasn't causing a decrease in output - nope, it just doesn't do that much of a job. I could see if I had a small pick up truck enclosure with small door speakers and ZERO bass, how this could really help. But for me - well, I just wasn't that impressed for the money spent. I'll use it for a few months, then I'll probably re-sell it on craigslist and go for something with a little more oomph.Read full review

The sound quality it adds to the audio system is incomparable. The harmony of sounds and the power of the bass is of a high level. Easy to install. Its size is perfect to save space. If you are considering adding a bass of great power and quality without sacrificing space, I recommend it. I installed it on a 2015 Jeep Wrangler, under the passenger seat. I really recommend this product for the advantages of its dimensions, easy installation and high sound quality.
