KICKER 48CDF104 Comp 10" Subwoofer in Down Firing Enclosure, 4-Ohm

I coupled this with a 500.1 Kicker amp, and a 200.4 with all Kicker CS speakers in a '23 Bronco 4 door soft-top. I was told I'd never get good audio in that vehicle, but after these mods it is the BEST sounding audio I have ever had in a vehicle. I do audio engineering/recording as a hobby. Sure, I could have splurged and bought speakers and subs that were 3-5x as much, but it hits a point of diminishing returns. If you're trying to stay budget-friendly while wanting a substantial improvement to sound quality and sound-stage in your vehicle, the Kicker lineup is perfect. My Bronco came with a 6.5" sub that had no magnet and no amp due to the chip shortage issue. I put in a 6.75" Kicker comp sub, but it didn't have the lower frequencies that I missed hearing. This 10" sub fit the bill. I have the gain relatively low and it doesn't drown out the rest of the frequencies. The Kicker key amps have self-tuning capabilities, but I opted to tune it all myself and am happy with the results. If you want to rattle the panels off a busted-up Altima, this isn't the sub for you- go get larger subs and slap them in warped Home Depot OSB while chugging a white Monster and skipping your insurance payment. If you want full sound with some finesse, this is a great option. Don't get me wrong, it will definitely rattle your vehicle apart if you crank the gain and volume, but I appreciate that it sounds great even at LOW volume and LOW gain. Soundstage is more important to me than volume.

This thing is working flawlessly in my system. I have a 2nd gen CR-V, I have it in the wheel well against the frame and can feel every bit of it in the front seat. I tried it in the trunk above everything and found it to hit less, so this thing seems perfect for a stealth option if you have the space. I wish it hit a little lower, but that might be because of the size or my settings I'm still learning.

Decent sub. Fixed the issue I had with the lousy design with the sub in my is250. Would buy again.

I have a small truck an extra cab tacoma and just wanted something I could use when on a job . This little sub is great for that I can stack all my tools on top of the box with no issues. Does it have crazy loud bass? no but you can feel it and it does sound pretty good . I have been over powering it by about 60 or so watts for nearly two years and it's still going just fine.

It doesn’t make your nose itch that’s how you know it’s a great subwoofer, but it does add a lot of definition to your vehicles surround sound, country, music rap hip-hop, jazz but if you’re running this through a factory radio, I highly recommend getting a low audio adapter to lower the frequency in the music to par with your subs otherwise it’s just gonna sound like thumps, at first it felt like a child was kicking me in the back till I added the adapter, now it sounds smooth. I have them facedown behind my backseat fits perfectly in a 2022 Colorado

I love this compact 10” speaker love the sound not to loud and it just they way I want it. But now when it come to packaging wow they do take the time to make sure that the subwoofer doesn’t get damaged at all thank so much for that. Fit nicely in my Lexus RC 350 love it.

Was nice little sub ..just didn't fit behind my seat ..

Upon receiving the sub and looking at the size of the box I was reluctant to think I was going to get good bass response. To my surprise this thing really thumps. Driving it with a 250 watt Amp. Can't beat the sound for the money. Unless your putting a huge system in your vehicle, this sub will take care of business.

This thing pounds! Great buy and fast shipping.

Wonderful compact sub. Pounds hard for a sealed box. Also nice to fit in hatchback vehicle.

Product works well and arrived in a timely manner.

It's not too heavy, good price, but sound is mediocre. Bass is muddy with kicker's 400w mono amp (which is a proper pairing). Upgraded to JL audio's shallow mount 10" and built the box, end game for me (it is much higher cost though).

Don't expect much. This thing might be ok in a very small hatchback, but definitely not in the trunk of a car or in an suv. I put this in my Volkswagen tiguan and the factory speakers still have more bass than this thing. I know my amp is good I just expected more from kicker but im going to try and return it
