Hey, i'm JR, I'm here today with the Kicker 11HS8. This is a hideaway compact
powered subwoofer if you're looking for bass in your car but you're not looking to go crazy
and create so much bass you're annoying all of those around you; you just want your music to feel
full and rich and solid. This will give you that level of bass. That's thanks to a built-in 8-inch
woofer powered by a 150-watt amplifier, and this is Kicker woofer and a Kicker amplifier, so you
know it's going to be robust and strong. They say it goes all the way down to around 25 hertz; that's
pretty low bass. I think you can pretty well count on it doing really well with bass guitars and kick
drums, deep voices, all of those sort of "oomph" that you want in your music. There is a variable
low pass crossover so you can decide just how high it goes, all the way up from 50 to 120 hertz,
There's even a subsonic filter so you can filter out all the bass that's so low you can't even hear
it, so you're not wasting amplifier power on frequencies you'll never hear anyway. It also
comes with a wired remote control. This is like a little bass knob, you can mount that up there
near your driver's seat so when you're driving and you want to add a little bit more bass to whatever
song you're playing, just turn the knob up, and when you want to dial it back, just turn the knob down.
Very, very convenient. The Kicker also comes with most of the wires you'll need to hook it up. It
comes with 17 feet of power wire, a couple feet of ground wire and remote turn on wire,
and eight feet of speaker wire. That might be enough to get all of the power and speaker wire
input connections you'll need. We love Kicker here at Crutchfield, and apparently lots of you do as
well. There's around 200 customer reviews for this product alone, and it averages four-and-a-half
out of five stars. I went looking through those reviews, and I'd like to read a couple to you now.
A Crutchfield customer from Montoursville, PA says about their 2013 Jeep Wrangler:
It is a perfect fit for in a JK four-door under the back seats. I'm running an Alpine iLX-650 with
infinity Reference component fronts and six- and-a-half's in the rear. It really adds the
low notes well across all spectrums of music. It doesn't distort at all when cranked up, and gives
clean and precise space that will not rattle everything in sight. If you're looking to build
a nice everyday system without needing an amp, box, subs and wiring, this fits the bill perfectly."
Another customer from Moberly, MO says, "I was missing something, because my Jeep with
the soft top just doesn't sound the best. I added this subwoofer and made the sound so much better.
I hated to spend the money, but I'm glad I did, because I was not happy with my system.
Money well spent. Now my Jeep has some "boom boom" to it now." And those are just two of the almost
200 really positive reviews on this Kicker 11HS8. So if you're looking for a small, compact sub to
fit somewhere in your car, under your seat, behind your seat in the standard cab pickup truck, in the
hatch area in your trunk, pretty much wherever you put this is going to give you some great
bass. If you're looking for something like that, please don't hesitate to hit that like button,
