The sub is cool but this guy is cooler. Love the way he advertised

[@justaudio3252]

Larry was the man. Genius RIP

[@Bondovw]

I would like to see a comparison against the JB and Rockville.

[@vincecausarin4642]

Installed the shallow version of this. Saved my trunk space and fills all the lows for my 2 seater sports car by sitting where the spare tire is. I love this thing! I was originally looking at the under the seat subs which just do not give enough bass. This sub is awesome!

[@AtAndr3w]

This guy just sold me on this. Definitely going to order one shortly!

[@carolinayamadawg8706]

i have the jbl version of this and no lie its amazing for its size and still retaining all my trunck space in my camry

[@Ryan57Garr]

Tony Stark did you have any issues with it being too high up and interfering with the trunk mat? I want to put one in my accord but the spare is a temporary spare that seems to shallow for the jbl to fit without sticking up

[@carolinayamadawg8706]

@@Ryan57Garr honestly in my camry the mat does stick up a bit ..the car i first heard the sub in was a accord i dont remember if yhe mat stuck up ..mine does because the tire sits the opposit way i had to flip it but honestly its only a little bit and doesnt bother me at all

[@srm158]

@@Ryan57Garr you gotta flip the tire upside down g

[@ericperry72]

I'd love to see a 13"-15" sub with 500-750 watt amp. But I bet now someone will come up with a passive version. hmm wonder if JL audio will go down this path with a 13" version.

[@intheshop406]

So why not a video of it in a car with a meter. ?

[@MikhailFelton]

Most likely about a 115db in a car.. thats what a powered car subwoofer box normally does.

[@GanG914]

@@MikhailFelton A box is different story. This tiny plastic cabinet under the trunk floor will not produce 115db. 105db most likely.

[@ericperry72]

@@GanG914 115db is possible, five star stereo just posted a video on JBL version with only 200 watss and a 11" sub and it metered at 110db. So 115db is possible given more power and more displacement.

[@jessejames5825]

@ekim andersom noooo they are not the same. The Cerwin Vega is a 12" driver.

[@csvscs]

That's actually really cool

[@Quepiid]

That’s cool. Wish they would make more powerful sub. I wouldn’t mind doing a amp hidden somewhere else.

[@MikhailFelton]

Thats what i said.. every company things 250rms is something... no its 2019 it should be 750rms by now...lol

[@joek81981]

Hey, I'm a noob and I took a gamble on this because how easy it looked. Its f&&king astounding. Does it sound like proper 12s in a box? No. But I have every last inch of my Subaru's hatch completely free. Lets see you bump *and* carry an armoire in a Dirtwagon. Like dude said, my coworker said it looked so strange hearing pretty amazing bass from the hatch with NOTHING in it. No remote wire, so no tearing the dash apart. Just those EZ taps on the speakers and a fatty for power and ground. I got the shallow version, not this exact one. Its even skinnier and even cheaper. My back mat sits exactly as flat it ever did. You can keep all the crap that came in the foam thinger too. The jack and the tow thing. After two weeks, I put sound deadening on it, because the whole thing is metal on metal where it meets the tire and the tire meets the body. Also, any loose screws or paper clips rolling around in your trunk get neatly sucked to the very center of your mat due to the giant magnet being a centimeter behind the floor. That's practically a feature!!! You can spend three hundred dollars and have better sound, but I dare say it won't be easy. Load resistors? LOC? The sheer nightmare that is a modern Subaru bigscreen and the hundred and five dongles you need to retain everything on a new stereo? If your time is worth nothing, then this isn't a very good deal. You could spend the $300 and days of your life dicking with wires until sunset. But a 15 minute install and a drastic improvement in the dreadful stock bass? For a dummy like me? Who hasn't done car audio since you had to remove your faceplate before you pop into Blockbuster? Swing that!

[@ryanchristensen1799]

So how does it compare to the JBL bass pro? They both look the same to me it just doesn't have digital amp in this one correct?

[@jimmycha9965]

Wondering the same thing. Can we get a response?? Please and thank you 🙏🏼

[@ImOzify]

I wonder how this compares to the passive version. Passive is 300RMS vs the powered one only 150RMS

[@lsowner10]

Does it work in a Mk7 golf with the Fender audio?

[@giuseppemonastero4276]

My 2011 Mazdaspeed 3 has a Bose sub in the spare tire. Old news.

[@markovwms]

This looks almost exactly like the JBL Basspro Hub

[@jonhernandez5987]

dam, which one is Chinese revers engineered??

[@drkhancock14]

Just bought one of these and installed it... have to say it's pretty amazing. For the price, and the space you save it's perfect for any car and it hits very hard! You can turn the bass up and hear it outside of the car with the windows up, which I was not expecting. Definitely recommend it.

[@gtdodgeviper]

2:01 the guy that guess 2,700 watts was obviously not a pro and was talking about max watts not RMS.

[@carlossantino4763]

What was your set up ? What amps did you guys use I'm looking to setup in a crx

[@VidTubeWatch]

It has the amp built in. It's rated at 150 watts RMS. Sounds much more powerful. I actually have this Carlos. It's unbelievable. It's hilarious to pop the hatch on my Acura RSX and nobody sees a sub box or speaker. It's mounted in my spare tire under the carpet and foam pad. Hits like a tank.

[@MallV0lli0]

@@VidTubeWatch do you have full size spare tire or slim one?

[@VidTubeWatch]

@@MallV0lli0 I have the stock slim one that came with the car. It fits pretty much perfect with the Styrofoam mat and carpet over it. It's very practical, and sounds very good. I'm rocking it still today and hasn't let me down. If you look in my hatch you can't even tell it is there.

[@MallV0lli0]

@@VidTubeWatch cool. I have a 2011 Civic Fn and I'm looking for a sub

[@VidTubeWatch]

@@MallV0lli0 I do not think you will be disappointed. I have a 2005 Acura RSX type S, and the Bose system actually had a sub woofer ring already in it. It's not even a 6" inch speaker. It was decent, but this Cerwin Vega spare tire sub packs a lot of punch. Very stealth. For what it is I do not think you'll be disappointed.

[@Magcrackspacks]

Says “people say nobodies ever heard one”.......doesn’t let us hear one🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@warrenzonator]

They took my million dollar idea! Noooo!! Actually, I doubt they'll make a million dollars, but it's like a perfect upgrade for non- intrusive install. If the battery's in the trunk, even easier!

[@MrUkielover]

0:35...wait so what does this guy smoke? I’ll try it

[@J2A61]

Id like to hear this in action

[@herschelwalker591]

No cutting yet requires tapping into a source, no spare, no problem, just bolt it to the floor.. This isn't as seamless as he is making it out to be.. Granted I would rather just go with a Vega 10 and a real amp but hey.

[@SkunkTreeCarvings]

JBL Makes the same product.

[@ryanchristensen1799]

So JBL is making this for cerwin vega minus their 250w digital amp?

[@Tallnerdyguy]

Except it is 2" deeper, making it not fit in my tirewell. This one actually does.

[@fourtrax10]

Is this President Trumps brother? What a salesman!!
