[@nascar8and20]

@@bobbysealejunior6590 How does it sound so far?

[@ScepticFrog]

Just done similiar in my 2022 MU-X and installed a JBL SL2, only difference is I took the speaker feed from the front two dashboard speakers, easy to take out and I soldered my subbox high level cables directly and fed them down into the footwells. I didn't want to fuse tap my rears and there are way too many cables in the MU-X to unravel in the first place. I also grounded to the seat but there is no bolt in the MU-X seats so I fitted a new bolt in one of the spare holes. The SL2 has audio sense so no need for a rem cable, only thing I find with the SL2 is that it doesn't shutdown for 10 minutes when no audio detected. Sounds amazing and a huge upgrade from the stock stereo setup! Thanks for your tips Adam, always helpful.

[@MrMaster2262]

After i installed my subwoofer i found the sound quality better when i went into the headunits equaliser (EQ) ...from factory when purchased the headunits are always set on Flat and without Loudness switched on.

[@ronmowery3312]

I have two hs 8 in my carry and am very happy with the results, I did not use the supplied gain control, it did something to the bass signal and took bass away, I have been hitting them for three years now

[@MarkKFerguson]

Does the volume of the subs go up and down when you change the volume on the head unit if you disconnect the remote controller?

[@ronmowery3312]

@MarkKFerguson yes, also I wired them to my rear channel, so if I want more bass I can go towards the rear channel, or for less bass I can go towards the front channel, not to mention you can still add or take out bass with your headunit

[@DaRealSwifty]

Good Video, would be nice if there was a way to combine the controls so you only have one adjustment dial.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Yeah someone mentioned a good idea, They're just a 3.5mm stereo jack so you could probably get a splitter two into one

[@JasonWW2000]

Yes, that Kicker remote uses a 20K linear taper potentiometer to vary the resistance. A simple head phone splitter cable will allow one knob to control both subs. Just make sure the gains, all control's, are set the same on both subs or else one sub will always be louder than the other. 👍

Great video!!! You answered a lot of questions I had. I have a 2008 Single cab Ford Ranger that I think I'll use these for.

[@hiltonstroud1399]

Nice Video as usual. Although Hookin up a powered sub into the rear speaker cables that are amplified from the headunit is not a good idea like this. It's actually tapping into and taking away power that should be going to the rear speakers. Should 100% be coming out of RCA's or sub output out the back of the unit that runs at line level to feed the subs that are powered.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Hey mate, it's not drawing any power from speakers, just uses for signal, power comes from +ve battery (red wire). These subs don't have an RCA in unfortunately. This is how kicker recommends installing these.

[@hiltonstroud1399]

@@VideoShowMeHow I realise what it's doing regarding only signal and that hte sub has seperate power. Even if Kicker say to do it, it's still wrong really. Reason being is that the headunit is sending a amplified signal to the rear speakers which are passive. Then you are tapping into that and taking signal off to another device which is taking power away for that to send signal to the sub. Yes it can work but it's really not a good way or the correct way it should be done. Turning the head unit up could easily send substantial amount of watts/power to the sub input and overloading it and then performance of the rear speakers is also affected due to sharing signal. I really can't beleive Kicker would recommend doing this, it's bizzare and goes against all audio and signaling best practices.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

@@hiltonstroud1399 literally in the manual bud. The amount of power 'being taken away' would be tiny. I agree I'd prefer to use an proper RCA signal end to end etc but for something like this it's hardly SPL or audiophile anyway 👍

[@wax333]

in my mind im thinking the same. if you had the halo HU the radio has much more controls/ crossovers etc if you connected them via RCA ps these under seat subs work a lot better when they are solidly mounted to the vehicle. I installed a sub amp combo unit in the rear seats standing up up as my child is in car seat and feet don't touch the floor. even when they do its a very slim unit Rockford p300 8 inch unit so much more output compared to an underseat unit

[@georgekossieris6734]

Thank you for this video and the sound test! Sound wise, would you prefer an under the seat subwoofer or a spare tire subwoofer, like the Jbl basspro hub?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Hmm, those spare tyre ones are pretty innovative, either way I'd def be shooting for a 10" driver at a minimum

[@georgekossieris6734]

@@VideoShowMeHow indeed, the JBL has an 11" driver, but the fact that they are in the spare tire, would it affect their performance, against this one which is right under the seat?

[@JasonWW2000]

It really depends on the vehicle. If its a car the bass might have trouble going from the trunk to the interior so the under seat box might be best. If its a hatchback or suv the spare tire enclosure might be best. Make sure both can fit, if one style doesn't, then your choice is made for you.

[@MathieuBosi]

Nice explanatory video, thanks. A question: would leaving the rear speakers connected and connecting the sub in parallel to each of them work properly / be acceptable? Or is cutting-out the rear speakers the only valid / good option?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

The rear speakers do stay connected with this method?

[@MathieuBosi]

@@VideoShowMeHow in the video the cables that bring signal to the rear speakers are cut (white and red) if I've seen right. I was asking myself if instead mounting the sub in parallel (a T joint for each cable instead of cutting) would work properly.

Great video mate....and nice install. (and the other one with the underseat sub into a Jeep was good too). I'm currently shopping for an underseat sub for my d/c Navara. Not looking for huge SPL (it actually ruins good music IMO). I just want to put some foundation under my Kenwood + Infinity component set up in the front. I have a couple of questions.... - How did you mount the remote gain controllers to the dash? - Given that you already had an aftermarket head unit installed, why did you choose high/speaker-level inputs instead of plug 'n' play "sub out" port or RCA's at pre-out level ? - Pioneer, Alpine, Cerwin Vega, Kicker, Kenwood, RockFos, Sony, JBL, Focal.....etc all make active underseat subs with 8" or 10" drivers. Was there anything special or different that made you choose the Kicker units? Was it just because they were on-sale? Do you think they perform better than some others, for similiar money? I'm having trouble narrowing down my short-list!

It's really odd that those subs don't have RCA inputs. I have the ILX 705D which is the double DIN version of yours, and as you know the crossover settings are extensive on this unit and it also has 2 sub outs. Taping off the door speakers seriously limits you to having to run them full range instead of being able to roll off the bottom end around 80Hz. I'd definitely cross off Kicker if I was on the market for a compact powered sub.

You don't need to run anything into the engine bay,you can just fuse tap these subs. There is also a factory earth point under each seat.

[@primedirective00]

what is the amperage draw on a setup like that? I'm looking at putting a set under the couch in my RV but I'm not good with power

[@JasonWW2000]

These units use a 15A fuse so full volume it might draw 15A. At normal listening levels you might measure 2 to 5 amps depending on the bass in the song and what frequency it's at. The most efficient setup would be a large driver or multiple drivers on a small amp. Especially using a ported box. You basically choose between power efficiency or space. Small sealed enclosures like this are not very power efficient, but they take up small space. So you have to choose which is more important to you.

Does the controller have to be connected as I really don’t want extra knobs. I’d rather always have them at 100% and control the levels through my headunit…

If the DC offset (auto on) is not working for you, you can run the blue remote wire to your fuse box.

You can connect that to the fuse box input or even the cigarette lighter wire (since they are usually 30A). Just don't go full bass volume and push the cigarette lighter at the same time.

@VideoShowMeHow cheers mate cant wait for the vid🤙 what input level and phase levels are you running?

[@JasonWW2000]

​@@SonicsnakeCNRThe phase and crossover settings should be done by ear. Adjust it until it sounds good to you. The gain setting depends on how high the signal voltage is. I would adjust is so normal music listening levels are about half or a bit less than half of the remote bass knob level. That way you can turn it up or down based on the song playing. The bass boost typically adds output around 45Hz like a single band equalizer, but sometimes this adds distortion at high volume levels. Try to keep it at zero. If you don't max out the subwoofer you can try adding a little bass boost to see how it sounds. If you hear distortion at high volume levels turn the bass boost down.

[@LoganCoutts]

They’re not bad, I’ve got both the Hs10 and hs8 and the 10 definitely is more powerful. For the price you can’t beat the HS8 it’s awesome

[@K03sport]

most ppl want bigger boom...so they go with 10s/12s is bigger boxes with way more power than they think they need...these are just good bottom end fillers, not neighborhood shakers

[@mrrod3004]

My bose door speakers out perform these.😅

[@470ruger]

Your door speakers don't and can't play sub bass

[@finnromy6304]

There's no sound in the video

[@VideoShowMeHow]

@@finnromy6304 just gotta take it off mute ;)

Can you really call a vehicle ground an Earth ground? Debate!

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Sure 😁 It drives on the earth right?

Sounds like every Kicker I've ever heard. Not loud, not deep. Really flat.

[@JasonWW2000]

I don't know if your just trying to insult kicker or if your saying tiny under seat subs all sound the same. I'm going to assume the latter. It takes space to make bass. 👍

[@atemegabites2251]

Bad choice of songs , they seem bass less

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Try listening with a decent set of headphones, sound will be limited to what you're playing it (eg your phone isn't going be able to reproduce anything bass)

[@royalracerz5968]

Why did snip in half? Wrong thing to in car audio just use wire strippers to split cable not copper wire the splice the amp wire to the wire

[@VideoShowMeHow]

The signal wire do you mean? It's fresh strands and solder, is fine for this kind of thing. Never going to be the cleanest via speaker anyway but fine for this setup :)

[@SonicsnakeCNR]

Is it worth using a T Tap wire connector?

[@JasonWW2000]

​@@SonicsnakeCNRIf the T tap is secure and water proof it should be fine.

[@wolffredd2664]

If I have an amp and sub already installed but I want to downsize to save trunk space to this- could I keep my current power ground and signal? It’s an 8g wiring kit so still pretty small, if i could just plug and play it’d be pretty sick!

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Yep sure could, would just need to connect this loom off your existing etc

[@ULSB1969]

Those subs are useless, they are not proper. They are a joke, don’t come close to my 8W7, that I have in my center console.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Sound pretty dang good to me mate 👌 Sure never going to be in the same league of a full enclosed woofer with big amp etc but for what they're are they're great
