KICKER 51HS10 Hideaway Compact Powered Subwoofer, 10-Inch

Amazing product! I was tempted by the cheaper options, but so glad I went with the Kicker. Everything about it screams quality, and even customer service was great. I called to ask a question before installing, and the guy was responsive and knowledgeable. Installation was a breeze (I installed it under the front seat on my golf cart) and the sound in incredible. I wasn’t going to bother with the remote bass control, but I’m glad I did as some tracks require the boost. I decided to mount the unit on a ½” thick MDF board to act as a baffle, and it further improved the sound. If you decide to do the same, I recommend a little padded tape on the back of the unit as the center Allen bolt protrudes by about a 1/16” which impairs good seating. Overall, I can’t recommend this enough.

I have installed one of these in my 2016 Jeep Unlimited Sport, 2022 RAM 1500 Laramie, and 2025 Jeep Gladiator High Tide. I did a YouTube video of the installed and proper adjustment on the 2022 RAM 1500 Laramie. It is more than just adding base to a high quality factor should system. It completes the range on highs and lows withing each piece of music. Music sounds completely different because factor systems never play the range that artists actually record in. A live concert has a sound system to experience a full range of frequencies that a vehicle sound system never completes. I highly recommend the Kicker 51HS10. So awesome.

Couldn’t be happier with the quality of sound! Very impressed!

How do they get so much bass in such a small package?! Sure, it's not the same range as a full sized sub, but this fits anywhere, and I don't have room for a full sized. A great compact solution!

Item is as described. We install in our tractors to give the operators a little more depth to their music when operating for 10+ hours a day, this little improvement goes a long way to providing an enjoyable experience to for the operators. Compact in size but not lacking in power. Easy to install with the included parts and brackets.

Pleasantly surprised, installed in my 2024 Tundra hybrid with jbl system. Will not rattle the panels or tickle the ear drums but it gives just the right amount of bass for something so small. You will need lc2i pro from Tacotunes to tie into factory jbl system

I was limited on space and mounting locations, so this install was tricky! Could of gone for a smaller option, but was worried the smaller ones just wouldn't be enough. So 10" it was! I managed to get the speaker crammed under the seat, but it was tight, and pressing on the seat foam underneath, which was causing the vibrations from it to tickle my bottom a little more than I liked... That's when I noticed this speaker had detents on the sides. These detents reminded me of products that are designed to be held by straps. So the idea came to try and strap the speaker to the back of the seat. The only strap I had laying around was a 10ft Wise Owl Hammock strap. I had to play with the configuration to figure out the most secure order, but design of the strap with the sewn loops made it PERFECT for the job! My van finally has bass and my bottom is safe lol Now on to the actual product. I know the description says its metal, but for some reason I really wasn't expecting it to be as rugged, and as metal? as it is. You could probably drive over this thing with a tank and it'd be safe. Definitely has some heft to it, too. The price tag seemed to be that middle ground which I always aim for. I've had a lot of BAD experiences with sound quality when it comes to cheap speakers, so while it felt steep, its absolutely worth it for the build quality and sound. I also added 6x8s to the head liner in my van because I didn't have space for rear speakers. But now my limitations appear to be the 6x8's and 6.5 door speakers. They just become ear piercing and dont sound good when loud, even with the highs turned down all the way. The Kicker 10" can go louder, but the rest of my system is like "Naw bro". So I guess now I gotta get an amp for the front speakers to match the Kicker now lol

Does not work well, we had it installed by a professional and the amp decides to work when it wants to basically. We have had it looked at by 2 other professionals also, so we do know it is the amp.

Loving the deep bass. Super conpact and fit behind the back seats of my Ford Maverick. Install was pretty easy. Very happy with it.

I was going to mount this unit, but I shoved it between the plastic behind the rear seats and lo and behold it is a perfect pressure fit. No rattling or movement from this unit for how far I'm pushing it. This sub isn't going to win any awards, but is a good pairing for stock Toyota systems which sound extremely flat and lifeless. I paired this with a Beat Sonic amplifier to boost the stock system and I am completely satisfied. Oh yeah if you aren't comfortable soldering make sure you get the Kicker speaker wire to RCA adapter if you buy this sub. I found out when I was in the middle of installing it, but I just cut the ends off my RCA and solderered the ends to the speaker inputs. Also saved me $25-30CAD.
