Are Under Seat Subwoofers Worth It? Review And Sound Test - 10 Inch 400 Watts - ATOTO CS-101SW

[@Randy_G]

Thanks for giving it a fair chance and not completely trashing it like other KZbinrs would.

[@BudgetBassHead]

Nope. My job is to simplify your purchasing decisions. I'm lucky to get to do stuff like this. Every product, at least, deserves a try.

[@blackfire_4575]

I've had an under the seat sub for about a year now, and with some tuning and EQ modification it sounds so good. I can get a good rumble and bass feel when I need it. Makes long road trips so much more fun and have gotten nothing but compliments from my friends. Plus the space saving is no joke.

[@darink5216]

Hey what brand and power is your subwoofer? Was it easy to wire up?

[@devinc1887]

I recently put a Kicker Hideaway in the footwell of my S2000. With it being a 2dr convertible and only 2 x 6 1/2 speakers in the door, I needed something that didn’t take up space. Man, I was really impressed. No it’s not brain shaking performance, but it is so much better than what I had. Now I’m looking at putting one into my 2023 Integra. With that being a hatchback, I should have a bit of db gain out of it as well. These little units are impressive for what they are and their costs.

[@peanutheadrules]

Did you do the 8” or the 10” one? I’m looking at the Kicker’s too

[@devinc1887]

@@peanutheadrules I did the 10” one, HS10. Very impressed with it for the size and cost. Like I said, is it a 10” in a custom box and 500 watts going to it? No. But does it give the music a more full, rich sound? YES!

[@peanutheadrules]

@@devinc1887 sweet deal, thanks! That’s the one I was checking out too. Glad you’re enjoying it! Did you just do 1?

[@devinc1887]

@@peanutheadrulesYes, just 1. Don’t have the space for 2 in my car. An issue with running 2 is that you’d have to match them (gain levels, crossover points, bass boost, bass knob). Would just be better to buy a pair of 10” subs a and a amp at that point.

[@gbodytoys]

150w RMS isn't bad just to add some deep end to a stock system. That could actually be a decent addition for midbass.

[@JasonWW2000]

A lot of these companies exaggerate the power figures. It could be a 100 or even 50 watts RMS.

[@CurtF94]

Mount it to the ceiling above your head

[@leonrotedits]

thats also what i thought about could be a good way to get midbass going if you have a sub in the rear thats cut off at 60 hz or similar

[@JasonWW2000]

The big rear subwoofer in my Navigator rolls off above 45 hz due to the interior size and cancellation so I added a front sub. I tried a powered Rockville 8" underseat enclosure. I measured the response using an acoustical RTA with the enclosure under the passenger seat, under the 2nd row seat and in the passenger footwell. The footwell gave an extra 6dB across 50hz-80hz compared to under the seat. So the footwell is the best location, but can be in the way. Under the seat is more practical, but you need more cone area and/or power to get the same output levels. PS, that Rockville was rated at 100 watts (400 peak), but it only put out around 60w.

[@ericperry72]

These are perfect for under the front seat as midbass units. Saves you from needing extra amp channels.

[@branhicks]

I have a similar unit mounted to the back wall of my truck. It turns the entire rear wall into a sub. Huge difference

[@classicteo2011]

That's what I was thinking...throw 2 back wall of my truck 🤣😂🤣

[@junkyardgroupie7046]

Do you have pics??

[@ProfessorOzone]

Thank you. This sounds exactly like what I need. I have a tiny car with only two 6.5" speakers and two tweeters. There's no bass and really no room to put anything without losing what little space I have.

[@rockhills]

I had a BMW that came with factory under seat subs. Not meant to shake your teeth fillings loose but possibly the best sounding stock stereo I've experienced.

[@nonstopbg]

I recently got Hertz DBA 201 and I have to say, this thing makes the car vibrate and you can hear it from the OUTSIDE on closed doors/windows! It's not under the seat but it's so tiny it takes up almost zero space. I can recommend!

[@DGinNC]

Pro tip: always test these type of systems with and without the phase button selected. Sometimes it makes a difference even if you've done your due diligence to maintain phase in your installation process. Sometimes this is due to OEM processing, sometimes it's due to poor product design.

[@BudgetBassHead]

Great tip. Thanks

[@thisaintart]

Was literally about to say the same thing. I mix sound and deal with phase all the time. Not just flipping the switch but even flipping the sub upside down and elevating it to create an underseat cavity to direct the air. You obviously were doing it earlier in the trunk, that’s what I’d experiment with if I got my hands on one of these 👍 fire vid man love the channel 🔥🔥🔥

[@csj9619]

My thinking is for the everyday, casual listener that doesn't want to lose cargo space, a small enclosure of around .7 cubes, (2) 6.5" subs, powered off of 300-500 rms would satisfy most and only total maybe $300 and outperform an all-in-one joint like this.

[@astro54541]

I tried a very familiar setup for a customer. He wanted a 6.5 Subwoofer as he wasn’t that into Bass. He wanted more Clarity. Needless to say, he said the 6.5 had too much bass at 200Rms tuned to 40hz ??? Ended up putting some 6x9s in a box for him. He was happy….some people just ain’t built for the boom boom 😂

[@BudgetBassHead]

Yep. Not everyone wants the same thing. Car audio is very diverse

[@Todd_G_FPV]

I got 2 ct sound tropo 6.5's in my van, ported and tuned around 47hz on 500watts rms, they slam in the back of my odyssey! Box is bigger than I wanted but I'm pretty happy overall!

[@harley5252]

They are definitely meant to be under seat subs for more of a feeling effect rather than a sound difference like those butt kickers for in home applications

[@Fromatic]

Awesome test, I'm in the situation in my small van of just 6.5 door speakers up front and theres just no bass, hearing the difference this made with just your rear 6.5s showed me an underseat all in one like this will fill in the sound nicely, not shaking the place down bass but just giving a full complete sound, great review thanks

[@BudgetBassHead]

Glad I could help!

[@_Wake_Up_If_U_Can]

@0:41 im glad I am not the only one who forgets to remove plastic coverings. I have taken apart our pcs to do some cleaning and realized I never removed the plastic of our 3090s or motherboards, all kinds of stuff. My wife loves teasing me whenever we are unboxing things now.

[@DGinNC]

These pieces definitely have their place. I've sold them to customers who aren't willing to spend a lot of money, that like how their stock system sounds, but want to add just a little extra bass. They don't have to buy a separate enclosure, sub, amp, line level converter, and amp kit. One product and their vehicle remains relatively unmodified. You have to temper expectations and if you do so most people are ecstatic.

[@BudgetBassHead]

I totally agree!

[@peanutheadrules]

Would you recommend the Kicker 8” or 10” one(s) under the front seat of the Mazda CX-9? Our Bose system isn’t hitting those lows just right.. the clarity is spectacular on most but I’m missing that oomf in some songs that I’ve gotten used to listening to with subs. We have kids now though so we usually use the trunk frequently. Can’t really do a typical setup back there.. any suggestions? Appreciate it! 🤝

[@DGinNC]

@@peanutheadrules Honestly if you have a bose system and it's not doing it for you, this type of product might not be for you. Bose systems generally have pretty good low end. If you're looking for something a little more, likely your Bose system is aging, or you're expecting something it can't deliver. A small 10" sub and 500 watt amp will probably give you what you're looking for and not consume your entire trunk or cargo area. This type of product is more meant for people with no sub at all.

[@peanutheadrules]

@@DGinNC Yeahh it’s good on the lows but not at a higher volume :\ I can hear them but not feel them if that makes sense

[@DGinNC]

@@peanutheadrules exactly they're great for someone that has a stock system with no factory sub that doesn't listen at high volumes. Just enough to fill out that low end which accounts for about 20% of your audible musical spectrum.

[@metalinthemicrowave8795]

I installed a kicker hideaway8 under my seat in a chevy bolt ev. It really fills in some bottom end sound which that car desperately needs. From what i hear, even the "upgraded" bose setup is trash and this is the way to go in such a small car since i need to carry tools in the trunk. Its a market that im glad exists

[@BudgetBassHead]

Good point

[@TheAceTroubleshooter]

Holy crap that radiator being hidden up in there like that is genius! In a nutshell, a radiator acts the same way a port would. So its response is a lot lower than if there were no radiator. That's why all the modern Bluetooth speakers' bass sounds so good. Also, somehow I knew you were a repair tech just from the way you handled your work area lol. Ive been a repair tech my whole life. My shop and house just burned down a couple months ago though... :(

[@BudgetBassHead]

Wow. Sorry to hear about your home. Hopefully you fully recover too normal soon.

[@RampartPh]

i have one of those things on my civic fd2 and it's definitely a unit worth its salt. it may not raise your date's hair but it sure does improves the audio quality of your car w/o taking up space.

[@BiffcheeseSpinoccoli]

I’ve got the Ds18 8” under seat sub in my Honda fit. Made a WORLD of difference!

[@jrose92081]

I just installed something very close to this in a 2013 Hyundai Veloster that belongs to a friend of mine. It was the Tochinkar 10" 800W Slim Under Seat Powered Subwoofer. There are several different versions of it on Amazon with different name branding that I found. I had very little hope going into the install with the 800w rating and 15 amp fuse. However, this little thing surprised me. They definitely have their place in the market and they seem to be well built. Only downside I found was the power and ground wires. Very skimpy.

[@Todd_G_FPV]

15amps times 10, only around 150 200watt rms, they must be listing peak power on that dude

[@thesaltlifemanshow5522]

I've always been against all in one's myself. I myself have three different setups in my 3 rides. First my 06 Mazda rx8. It has an aftermarket alpine with the 6.5 inch screen. I had to spend almost 400 on the wiring harness and dash kit since the car had a bose stereo to begin with. I left the speakers and regular setup I just ran a Rockford fosgate 1000/1 that truly put out what it says. A little more actually. Eventually I upgraded to an insane planet audio pro 3000/1 monoblock wired down to one ohm. Powering two 12 fosgate subs in separate custom sealed boxes I made. And then a blitz 50 farad cap. The wiring was from fosgate ought gauge power and ground and honestly this setup is loud as can be and definitely can be the kind where you can hear it from a block away or tone it down to where it's just balanced out. My other setup is alpine Component 10 inch screen. All the speakers are Memphis as are the 12s and the mono and speakers Amp. It's in my cadi stsv and is what I use if I wanna show off since the Amp is mounted to a hydraulic moving system. Think trying to replicate 2fast 2 furious. The car has tons of led lighting inside and out and is my supercharged beast running solid at 63k even tho it's a 2006. Now usually I'm never a fan of stock stereos however my 2019 audi rs5 sport back has the original bang and olufsen 19 speaker setup and my wife's Benz cls63 2015 has the same make of stereo. Hands down nothing sounds as good and will hit every note without any distortion as well as a bang and O system. Plus the tweeters that pop up out of the dash is hot as can be. We sure have came a long way since I was 16 putting whatever I could get I think I had jbl to start with and a Sony deck in 2003 in the back of my bright red oldsmobile cutlass supreme convertible. Drop top with 20 inch spinners. I thought I was the coolest since everyone else around here drove ol rusty trucks. I was the outcast. Everyone called it a chick's ride.... guess they were right since I was always the one with a few girls wanting to ride with me and not some crappy redneck truck.

[@dc3763]

Well yeah, most small city cars came at best with 6.5" speakers, and no place for anything bigger.. I think that sub like this would be a great choice for rounding the sound picture :) Nice job man!!

[@patrickirwin4827]

I always test my speakers with Outkast's Speakerboxxx.

[@showxating9885]

I've sold and installed a lot of Bazooka Tubes and Aura Bass Shakers over the 3+ decades in automotive customization. I agree with you on multi function components of any sort. Most of these units are low air volume ported/sealed/free air, and the power requirements/limits on the speakers are VERY specific. I can't tell you how many lies I told for my customers to warranty their systems, who backyard de-tuned or overpowered their systems into distortion and blown coils. Going the extra mile gave me more compliance with my request to keep the tuning to us. Most likely, and understandably for longevity and lack of warranty issues, they make a mostly complete assembly.

[@gerardi2000]

I have an under seat Sub and I was quite surprised by it's performance. I am happy with it. Only if I had two but the one is nice and it has a small footprint.

[@jbmjbm323]

Major difference from the stock speakers and then adding this Atoto subs. I am listening to this video with a home theater system and with this sub it made a diffence in the bass. Good Video, I liked watching it!

[@BudgetBassHead]

I was pretty surprised myself by how much of a difference it made!

[@darrenroth6250]

few things to note. Subs in general especially powered subs need to be mounted to a solid base. This will help with the kinetic energy to not be lost by the box moving with the sub. I have never done a DB test but I have mounted them firmly and have noticed a difference. not sure on this specific sub but I know out of the many different brands I have installed I have found the best to be the older kenwood with passive radiator or the newer kicker hideaway. jbl, alpine, newer kenwood all were lacking. rockville surprised me and did well. Now I will always say a traditional amp and sub will outperform these by 100, but if you must have one. I would test the kicker.

[@adaboy4z]

Ok we need more videos of under the seat subs!!

[@elusivelectron]

Women want to test this. Ever see Private Parts?

[@Brandencarroll1]

I've installed a few under seat subwoofers. They're acceptable for people who absolutely don't want to sacrifice trunk space and it does round out the sound especially in smaller vehicles. But for the money there is no comparison to having a 10 or 12 sealed in the trunk. Or if you actually enjoy bass there are so many cheap options for ported 2 12's.

[@keyoflife24]

Steve Harvey is that you??....lol....good video

[@Piercy0812]

Thank you for this, been considering an underseat sub for a while. I want something small, easy to install, doesn't have to be crazy good, just a little bit to enhance the bass, and it seems like this will do that. I know its never gonna perform as well as the proper sub setup I had when younger, just a little extra without much effort.

I'm wondering if there was some bass cancellation going on when mounted under the seat. Maybe if they added a phase switch. Did it sound better in the trunk vs under the seat? The only other alternative is a small inexpensive powered bass tube. Might also be good for those wanting some extra mid bass fill up front if you have (like you said) smaller door speakers.

It depends on the frequency response you're looking for, I see that sub's range is between 50hz - 150hz, that's more of the mid bass hence competing with your 6x9; there'd be a major difference if it were perhaps 20hz - 50hz.

This isn't a knock against the sub at all, I'm just trying to learn. My mother has a 10 inch under the seat sub made by Kicker. I'm a big fan of Kicker, but this thing does not go low at all. I have an entry level sub from SVS that digs way lower and is way flatter in response. It sounds very one notish as well. I was very surprised at how poorly it performs, but this may be a question of expectation. Perhaps this is a very good sub for what it is? I don't have any previous experience with these types of subs. Any feedback would be appreciated.

They are not meant to get low. They are mean to 'fill' a gap in bass response. Example: BEFORE- "I can't really hear the bass drums in my music." AFTER- " I now hear and feel the bass drums in my music"

The bass shakers you speak of are transducers. … Another consideration is that these type of enclosures work better when mounted to a solid part of the vehicle much like the other stock speakers in the car. Most diy (non car audio persons) just Velcro them under the seat. Proper mounting likely makes a difference as well.

This is ideal when you want to enhance your factory sound. Although, I would replace the factory speakers as well. I don’t know if newer cars have speakers with twitters in them, if they do, this little powered sub it’s all I would buy. I have 2011 Honda I’m not sure how the speakers are.

Hmm See I have a 03 buick lesabre, got the 6x9 kickers and 2 kicker 6 1/2s up front. Although it gives decent bass the flaw is no speakers in the rear doors 😢. The buicks don't have space under the seats either, BUT one unique thing is the backseat comes out which is where the battery is so I'm getting ideas about using that space should make up for the lack of rear speakers.

Bmw comes with under seat subs and mine sounds really good. People can't belive that they are under the seat

[@HybridEmblem]

Thank you kindly, Steve Harvey

Previously with my old Joying Head Unit the powered sub woofer had tons of bass. When I had the new Joying Head Unit installed I can just barely hear the sub woofer. Need some help.

[@BudgetBassHead]

You'll have to make sure the sub is wired correctly and that the head unit is actually putting out enough power.

Jeez, it's like listening to a migraine headache!

I have 6x9 in the front Rockford 6.5 in the back doors Rockford and 4 mb quartz tweeters and I am looking for subs to fit underneath the truck front seats, I have a amp if needed already also, what would you recommend for straight bass subs? Thanks

[@BudgetBassHead]

I think most of theses subwoofers are active, not too many are passive. But if you have a pickup truck (crew-cab), options for under your rear seat is endless. But depending on your budget, almost every major brand is offering something for an active under-seat solution.

Might have to try this in my 17 altima with the Bose system. Even with the 6x9’s in the rear deck The Bose sounds terrible, my girlfriends base model Hyundai Kona has better bass response then the Bose in mine.

[@trilljaja5558]

8:20 😂😂 they was blasting that seat speaker to make sure it hits as its supposed to as the blueprint and charts of development says i mean hey telsa got German desginers for there subwoofers n tesla chevy Cadillac and a jeep renegade is the best stock speakers i heard by far

[@jamesalvarez8543]

That ain't to bad. I had two twelves JBL that were rated at 200 which I found out after they blew when I pulled em out to check the wiring. I got fooled by the 1000 watts logo on the front. Now they just take up space and don't even work -_-

Hey BBH, are you available to do a system install? What's your contact info?
