This looks like the perfect answer. I’ve got a 2015 Mustang GT, but I don’t want to put any speakers in the back sitting in the backseat so just wanna make sure I can slide it under there and it still sit without rubbing their feet up against.
Good job, bud! 👍 Never seen one but I wish powered mini sub manufacturers would try adding a "port" that can be open or sealed as the user wishes....possibly with some sort of removable cap. Very curious how that would sound. 🤔
@ I have a 2011 f150, putting in an android stereo similar to yours next week. Thinking I might add the sub too. Why did you buy the Rockford instead of some other cheaper options on amazon?
@@Durataur this is the Rockville which is one of the more budget friendly options out there. Honestly it is perfect and has been problem free since install, so I’d 100% recommend it. Frankly I wouldn’t go any cheaper than this.
@@AJLoDato22 that’s fair for sure. Good to know you’ve had a great experience! I’m sure people would love a 1 year update on your head unit as well! The biggest thing about these android head units is the fact that they usually don’t age as well as a traditional kenwood or whatever due to apps needing to update and requiring more ram and whatnot. Just a thought!
Looks like this would fit nicely behind the seat in my F150. I have a gap back there that i installed a pull lever to pull the seat down, ive seen people fit a slim box back there but this seems slimmer.
i'm between a 10" sealed under seat sub, and a 8" (not sure yet if ported, or bass reflex)... box size, rms, and factory specs are pretty similar... what do you recommend, for a "noticeable kick" between these two options?
I guess it depends on your mounting location and how much bass you’re looking for. You’d be surprised how much these put out, but if it’s way in the hatch area it may lessen it.
I agree ☝️. You will have to split the power, RCA, and remote. Unsure if your power wire gauge would have to increase thought (technically decrease). It should sound great with two wired together!
I was considering this myself as I saw others do it. You would need to split the power wire and RCA cables. I’m not sure if you’d have to upsize the wires though. I’d look up some forums as a bunch of guys have done it.
@ appreciate the comment lol I have zero experience with car audio but yes I would assume there’s no such thing as a “too big” power or ground wire but I mean if it doesn’t fit the terminal on the amp then technically it is too big? Lol 🤷🏻♂️
@@BigGuyGolf you can always buy a reducer so you can still run the heavier gauge to/from locations and still use units that dont require it, this way, yes you can "future proof" for going bigger later on if you choose.
Yes it’s very odd. The inside is near perfect, but all of the seat brackets (only) have surface rust. The previous owner was from the coast of Louisiana.
@@AJLoDato22 I've had Toyota's since the 80's, they are great at a lot of things, some some things not so much, like paint and rust, maybe they should work on that.
I’m a rook so sorry for this dumb question. I just installed a little android unit in my 2000 Durango. Do I just splice the amp wire and run it to the sub to connect it?
There will be three wires that go to your head unit. Two RCA cables which is your audio out to the sub. Then one remote turn on wire, sometimes labeled ‘sub’. This will turn your amp on when the car turns on.
Got my installer to do this but I had to go somewhere, so I wasn't able to follow how he wired mine. But mine always stays on even if my headunit subwoofer setting is off. I also cant control the subwoofer level/LPF via the headunit. Any idea how to fix it?
Hmm I’m struggling to understand. Does it stay on when your truck is off? I found my head unit (aftermarket) is only able to turn the woofer on and off, but not change the gains. I wouldn’t be super worried if your head unit isn’t able to turn it on and off, as long as it turns off when your truck turns off, you’re good.
@@AJLoDato22 I did some testing earlier and I think the rear speakers and sub share the same signal. I played with the fader and setting it full front kills both rear speakers and subwoofer. I have a Pioneer A205BT btw...
Great video. Thanks.What do you recommend for really loud, clean Sub in this format for EDM Music I/m producing in a 2016 Kia Sorento 3 row vehicle using an Alpine ILX-W670 Head Unit? -David-Austin Texas
Thanks! I don’t think you’ll get the performance you’re looking for out of a slim subwoofer. The only way would be wiring two of these, or being wise with the placement (under your seat). It hits hard especially when you sit over it in my back seat.
Unfortunately…maybe fortunately, I did not have the JBL sound system. I’m not sure if there would be a difference on install though, as long as you have RCA outputs.
Will this work for my 2010 Toyota Camry with an aftermarket head unit, I plan on upgrading my speakers too idk if some are blown or if it’s my aftermarket radio overpowering
Nice video. And if u do feel like you need to let the people next to you know that you are playing music, so they feel the thump, you probably worry to much about other people , right !
I bought the subwoofer solo with no wire, so the links in the description include wire. I’d suggest getting the one in the link so you don’t have to size it yourself.
Have a new f350 and there is no bass at all. Would you think I could wire up 2 of these? One for each front seat? Would it sound better than just one? I dont want it to sound weird having jt come just from my drivers seat
Yes, I do think you can wire up two but I’m not sure exactly how. I plan on trying this on my next truck build series. I don’t think it would be weird with just one as it would sound normal to others in the truck, similar to mine under the rear. To date I still haven’t had any issues and love it. Hope it works out well for you!
I’m going for a stealth build so this might be exactly what I need to enjoy the music without drawing too much attention 👍🏽
You and I think alike!
@@AJLoDato22hows the bass ?
I installed a similar 10 inch from Kicker about a year ago. No complaints, more than enough bass and hidden.
I looked into Kicker too and like them. I agree - it’s all the bass I need.
That is the most organized and clean garage I have seen on RUclips.
You definitely have your s*** together.
Thanks for the great video
lol my wife says I have crippling OCD 😂😂
Thanks for checking out the vid!!

Your truck is incredibly clean! Nice job maintaining it, and nice job with the video.
Really appreciate the kind words. I sure do take pride in my vehicles!
Sounds perfect, I don’t want the people around me to hear the bass. Sounds like it’s better than most factory subs too.
Sounds like this would work great for you! In my instance, this is significantly better sound than a factory JBL.

no, it doesn't
woah i was not expecting it to be that good actually! great video and great subwoofer
It has been super surprising! So far, I’m really enjoying it.
That's cool. I remember when infinity basslinks were considered compact. These are half the width.
My god I hate dealing with trim and OEM wiring in the Sprinters. Gonna have to hire you on

Great video and love the “hit”😊😊

box size, rms, and factory specs are pretty similar...
what do you recommend, for a "noticeable kick" between these two options?
Hey thanks for the review! Do you recommend only one or should I consider getting two of them for my RAV4? Thanks!
I guess it depends on your mounting location and how much bass you’re looking for. You’d be surprised how much these put out, but if it’s way in the hatch area it may lessen it.
Can I buy two of them a run them together?
Yes, just be sure to wire them right and make sure you can supply enough power.
I agree ☝️. You will have to split the power, RCA, and remote. Unsure if your power wire gauge would have to increase thought (technically decrease).
It should sound great with two wired together!
Do you have the factory JBL sub behind the seat? 👀
Nope, my truck didn’t have the upgraded sound system
Link for the correct wiring kit?
The link in the description is a bundle with both the sub and wiring kit. Should work great.
Can I install 2 of these? And what would I need for this to be possible? I’m a beginner, so any info is highly appreciated. Thank you
I was considering this myself as I saw others do it. You would need to split the power wire and RCA cables. I’m not sure if you’d have to upsize the wires though. I’d look up some forums as a bunch of guys have done it.
What aftermarket radio is that? Preciate the content 🤙
It’s a Dasaita head unit - I have another install and review video if you’re interested in it!
its very good, but it only goes down to 50hz or so
That 4 gauge is an overkill this thing probably has a 20 amp fuse at most 12 gauge would be more than enough
Haha yup I quickly realized that
@@AJLoDato22just curious would 8 gauge have worked? Incase you wanted to go with a bigger setup and not needing to rewire everything
@BigGuyGolf - 😵💫 Bro... you can't go "too big" on your power/ground wires. Of course, it works.

Yes it’s very odd. The inside is near perfect, but all of the seat brackets (only) have surface rust. The previous owner was from the coast of Louisiana.

Did you have the JBL stereo in your truck? Just curious about how you replaced it for this if so. I have the JBL sub and it’s very anemic.
Unfortunately…maybe fortunately, I did not have the JBL sound system. I’m not sure if there would be a difference on install though, as long as you have RCA outputs.
Is there a noticeable difference with the 8”?
I have yet to try the 8”, just this 10”.
Will this work for my 2010 Toyota Camry with an aftermarket head unit, I plan on upgrading my speakers too idk if some are blown or if it’s my aftermarket radio overpowering
Yup if you have an aftermarket head unit with RCA outputs, it should be a straightforward install.
Blew up the one I had but my fault had it turned all the way up
Nice video. And if u do feel like you need to let the people next to you know that you are playing music, so they feel the thump, you probably worry to much about other people , right !
I don't disagree, lol! Truthfully, this is the perfect amount for my liking.
Horrible logic 😂
I need an after market stereo? Or can the factory one be used
Nope no need for an aftermarket head unit. If you have factory RCA’s it should work, if not you’ll typically need a ‘line out converter’.
Looking to get one of these how is it holding up?
No issues whatsoever. Debatably one of the best mods I’ve done - love it every day.
What head unit is that?
It’s a Dasaita. I have an install video on it for the tundra if you’re interested!
Can this be put under the front seat?
Yup, lots of folks put these under front seats. I just didn’t have room with the rear-seat air ducts.
You never put in the description the correct power wire size.
I bought the subwoofer solo with no wire, so the links in the description include wire. I’d suggest getting the one in the link so you don’t have to size it yourself.
Did you tie in down in any way?
Yup I ended up screwing it down. Though on a tundra this is all just foam and carpet so it’s not super stout
What head unit is that
It is a Dasaita. Feel free to check out the install & review on my Tundra playlist.
10" is the best size sub to use period for all around music sound.
I agree 💯
Very nice
is the wiring that comes with the sub all you need? Or do you need another kit like the one you have?
Nope the one that comes with the kit is all you need!
I am worried about his height, though I’m not sure if it’s slim enough…
The height in the link is true so for sure check that out. Hope it works for you, I LOVE mine!
Check out the:
Rockville RW10CA
Is got a smaller footprint.
The review it’s olmost good but for speaker revw don’t use that yag music
Get a Kicker Hideaway
I hear those are good too. So far this thing has been amazing so I’m going to stick with it.
I have one. It rattles when the bass hits. The input plugs went bad after 8 months of light use. I don't recommend this product
Good insight! I’m at 4 months issue free. I’ll give a better update here in a couple months if I have any issues.
I want a sub that makes music sound better. Who the hell cares if the people in the cars around you can hear your bass boom? I listen to music! 😱
Have a new f350 and there is no bass at all. Would you think I could wire up 2 of these? One for each front seat? Would it sound better than just one? I dont want it to sound weird having jt come just from my drivers seat
