I have been thinking of the best way to describe this product, but I think everyone else has pretty much said it. It fills in the missing bass for the factory system. It's that simple. It creates the balanced system that should come standard. It would also be dependent on install location and the type of vehicle. If you put it under the drivers seat, it will be more prevalent than if you install it in the trunk. I did a ton of research on this before buying and I am satisfied with the purchase.
That being said, I installed it in a 2024 Telluride with the Harmon Kardon system. Had no low end so this was desperately needed. I installed in the hidden trunk compartment in the floor. I can still use most of that compartment for storage. It was a simple install that took about 3 hours. I ran the high inputs from the existing sub thinking that system already had that signal filtered for lows only. I was correct. All I had to do was remove a few of the plastic pieces in the truck well and a screw to pop the rear of the side panel out. That's all you need to do to access the sub wiring. It's a dual voice coil so there are 2 channels. Tapped into that wire at the connector by inserting 4 small blade connectors in the back side of the harness. You can cut the wires, but I wanted to be able to return everything to factory if needed.
After that, I grounded the amp to the inside well where the jack goes as there is already a hole there designed to ground the tow package. Then ran the power, remote, and volume control to the front. It was pretty simple and I didn't have to remove any trim. The wires are small an can be pushed up under fairly easily. There was one screw for the large side piece trim under the 3rd row. I used a stubby screwdriver to get it so I didn't have to take out the seats. Attached the remote wire to the ACC fuse with a fuse tap and attached the power wire to the battery. Put the volume control under the steering wheel. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
I have the gain at 3/4, the bass boost about the same, and the crossover at 70hz. The volume knob is at 50% so on those songs where I want more, I have it. Keep in mind that the signal is lower power than if I had tapped into the front speakers. I get zero distortion at any level and it sounds good. I can certainly tell a big difference even with the car loaded with suff. It doesn't rattle the mirror or any other interior trinkets, but the kick drum is there and creates a complete sound stage.
Sound preference is subjective and I find that the more music I listen to the more I tweak everything. I like it and would recommend the product even at the price. Kicker makes good stuff IMO. As SO MANY OTHERS have said, look elsewhere if you want the window rattling thump, but you are in the right place if you want a factory setup to feel complete. Works great in the Telluride!
