Checking out the Kicker Hideaway HS8 powered under-seat subwoofer! This beast is the perfect solution if you're pressed for space and fits under the seat of most cars.
I've always enjoyed having decent sound systems in my cars, but when I got the Ranger, I couldn't fit a traditional subwoofer without sacrificing the rear seats which is something I didn't really want to do. Enter the Kicker Hideaway! The Kicker Hideaway is a sub and amp combo small enough to fit snugly under the driver's seat (just!), I've had it in the Ranger for over a year now and it's been fantastic, giving the factory sound system that much-needed dosage of bass - enjoy!

MY man out here doing the Lord's work...taking the front seat out, AND getting the ol binder of CDs out? You sir are the man! I still collect and play my CDs all the time. Have over 800 and counting. I have a Rockville 8" powered sub in my trunk and it sounds fantastic, but I wanted just a compact under the seat all in one. I tried one I got off Amazon and it was terrible. Kinda skeptical on this one if it'll provided enough thump for my liking for the 300$ USD it costs.

I actually used two of these for awhile..i actually liked them but i out grew them..they seemed op on a stock deck but then i put one of those alpine 50 watt per chanel direct wired in amps. I couldnt turn the gain past half without drowning out the little subs at 3/4 bass knob lvl.. i upgraded my head unit and leaving the gain the same on the little wired in amp i ran the kickers at 100 percent on the knob.. it was louder then you really wanted to be in the rig with with clear clean sound..i would recomend them for an upgrade from stock set up! But i wanted a little better sound quality from a better amp with some higher watts then the little hard wired alpine soooo i had to bail on them and get some more watts to subs to keep it balanced..all in all there worth the money and sound plenty good..if your wanting something to moe your yard listening to music from your car these are not for you..if you just want a better sound quality at sane volumes these do the trick nicely

I thinking about doing this, but I'm confused on how it taps in from the speakers? Are you tapping in from the "Outs" of the head unit or are you taping in right from the speakers themselves? Or its all the same?
@explorebound
@explorebound 3 жыл бұрын
Tapping in behind the head unit would be preferable, but you can also tap in at the speaker ends too, either will work as it's the same signal. Basically, your head unit sends signals to your speakers and tapping the sub into the existing speaker wiring lets the sub read those signals too to work out what bass to deliver.

Hey man, I'm really enjoying your videos, I just got myself a dual cab PJ ranger a couple of months ago and I'm going to be doing a head unit similar to your sony with Android sit depending on specials , some decent speakers and a sub, I'm weighing up whether to go with a powered sub or a slim 10inch conventional sub and amp behind the back seat (I'm pretty sure I have the space). Now you've had your set-up a while do you feel like the powered sub has the a similar amount of punch? I'm trying to keep the setup semi budget and I'll either go a powered or slimline sub and amp for around $400ish. Also how bad does the the Rangers interior get for rattles when you start turning up the bass? Sorry about all of the questions, I'm really enjoying your videos, it's been a great resource for me as a new PJ owner

Hi Peter, glad you've been enjoying the videos! I'm still very happy with the Hideaway sub, puts out plenty of bass for me without sacrificing much cabin space. Depending on which make/model you're looking at, you'll most likely get more bass from a decent slimline sub and separate amplifier, although it may cost a bit more as you'll need to buy the sub + amp + wiring separately. Also I'm happy to report that mine has no rattles with the bass cranked so hopefully yours is the same 🙂

@@explorebound yeah, I was thinking that, I just figured if the interior rattled like crazy it wouldn't be worth it, I'm pretty sure I have the space for this behind the back seat for this, it's a pretty complete pack and I think it'll have a little better performance per dollar, thankyou for your help and fast reply!

Mine killed after 4-5 months of use, some people said don't turn your gain up too much? Not sure, but my HS10" arrives today, should pack even more punch than the 8" and hopefully it doesn't blow this time.
