KICKER - Hideaway 10" Compact Powered Subwoofer

Hello, does anyone know if these will fit? I'm super unsatisfied with the current bass from the cars system. Just bought the car a few weeks ago.

There's a whole thread on here dedicated to improving the sound.
I would strongly recommend following that thread before dropping money on aftermarket solutions.

If your intent is to put it behind the seats for more bass, it will fit, but I'd suggest don't. The area behind the seats muffle the bass pretty badly. Maybe 50% of the bass tone versus just putting it in the trunk.

I have a PowerBass 10" shallow sub/box and experimented with trunk and seat placements.

Apart from placement, those compact, self-contained, builtin amp units are pricey and don't make the bass/power you are probably looking for.

For a little more money there are the Kicker, Pioneer, Alpine, etc. 10" subs too that are all in one, or get a box and amp. I went with the Powerbass as it's the smallest solution at around $150 that fit my total budget of near $300-$350. I use a separate Pioneer bass amp ($150) to power the sub to squeeze every ounce of bump from it.

I did @starman 10" Kicker PT250 powered sub upgrade and am very happy with the results.

That thread is a joke. Stop sending people to do a mod that does absolutely nothing to improve the shitty bass in the car. I've done it, done waste your time.

Not a joke. Over-hyped I’d agree with. It made a small but noticeable improvement for me. Nothing earth shattering by any stretch but I can tell a small difference. No, it’s not like adding a big, powered sub to the car but it’s now “good enough” for me. For others, it won’t be nearly good enough and aftermarket parts await.
