This is not necessarily a great subwoofer, but it is a great value. As others have said, this is not going to put out enough bass to hear outside the car. In fact, I would be hesitant to buy this if I were installing it in a trunk. However, I was looking for something small to fit under the passenger's seat in my 2015 WRX that would fill in the lower frequencies of my factory system and this worked perfectly. It took me about 2 weeks of tweaking the levels to get it setup correctly. Once I had it dialed in, it blended with the rest of my audio system very well and now sounds like I have a much more expensive audio system than I actually have. I did end up hiding the remote in my glove box so I would not have to look at the absurdly bright blue light, but that's not a big deal because I rarely need to adjust it.
When I first ordered this subwoofer, I was a little concerned about quality from other people's reviews, specifically it overheating easily. But I have been using it for about 3 months now, during the peak of Florida summer heat, and I have not had a single issue. I do have the gain set around 30% of its max level and the bass boost turned way down as well, so I'm not pushing the amplifier as hard as others may. But at this point, I would be surprised if it failed on me for any reason.
I have installed aftermarket sound systems in every car I have owned over the past 15 years so I have a lot of experience with car audio equipment. I don't think there is a better compact subwoofer/amp on the market at this price point. I'm sure there are better options, but I would expect to pay 3x-4x as much for one of them. If you want to fill your car with the type of bass that drowns out all other frequencies, this is not the subwoofer for you. But if you are looking for something that will provide balanced bass at louder volume levels and hit lower frequencies than your door speakers can support, you will be hard pressed to find a better value.
For anyone considering installing this in a 2015+ WRX, it is a perfect fit under either seat. There are pre-existing cutouts in the carpet to run the wires through, as this is where the premium factory system places their amplifier. You will have less than 1/4" clearance between the seat rails, so the 10" subwoofer will not fit. The seat heaters are a few inches away and would likely have no effect on the subwoofer's performance. I recommend pointing the speaker towards the floor to insulate the seat from excessive vibration. I used an 8 ga amp kit, but only because I already had one. A 10 ga kit will supply enough power. You will need a line-out converter if you have the stock head unit. I used the PAC SNI-35 and it has been great. The sound quality is better than most and it fit behind the radio so I could leave the RCA cables there for when I do upgrade my head unit.

Break Your Subwoofer In
This process involves subjecting the subwoofer to no more than low-to-medium volume levels for a number of hours in the enclosure. 3-4 hours is generally sufficient for the subwoofer’s suspension to loosen enough to prevent the voice coil(s) from overheating and causing failure. The break-in period is also effective in extending subwoofer life.

MOSFET Power SupplyMetal Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors quickly switch from full to non-conduction for high efficiency output. |
Class A/BOur Class-A/B amplifiers feature specific linear circuitry that increases sound quality and power output while reducing distortion and improving efficiency. |

Excellent powered sub!
I was skeptical about the quality of these powered subs before my purchase. I spent almost 4 x this price on another brand of powered sub for the back of my Alfa Romeo suv. I then bought 2 of these for under the front seats. I installed all 3 the same day. These are amazing, sound just as good as the way more expensive one I bought. These are so good that I only run the front ones at 1/4 of there volume because thats plenty for me. It’s hard to describe because the base with powered subs vs a big box that were all used too is not the same but in many ways I think these are better. When there isnt much bass in a song you don’t feel anything. Then your seat comes alive with every little rumble, but not in a way that effects the other highs and mids. Really great, I wish I’d bought these years ago!
