I know everybody has their opinion...I am just trying to gather some info on this product. There is very limited info out there on this product e.g. reviews. I know JBL home theater speakers are of good quality but unsure on Harman Kardon's audio speaker stereo line. However, I have heard good things about their smaller speakers.

Here is a link to the product:

that's a NICE shallow mount sub. you will be VERY impressed with the quality of the sound.

for $$ reasons, i went with a pioneer shallow mount in my F150.

the box is the perfect size and fits under the back seat of my supercrew like a glove. and the price can't be beat (check amazon) when you consider a carpeted shallow mount box will cost you another $50 - $100.

the other product i would recommend is the MTX thunderform. they have complete enclosures (including sub(s) and amp built-in) specifically built to blend in with your specific vehicle. they are a little more pricey though.

^Thanks for the input. I have a pioneer that is old and rickety (e.g. had to super glue the outside foam) and needs to be replaced. It also was tight squeeze in the box I have right now. I like pioneer but I was wanting to go with something different. Found the JBL for $99 so I may go with that.

Good looking sub. The Fs is 46 though. That's high.

If you end up getting it, please let us know how it sounds.

Will do...placed the order so I should know by the weekend. I'm hoping with the added space it will sound better than my beat up Pioneer TS-W253R.

Okey got the sub installed and tweaked the amp so no more clipping. Nice little sub-woofer (sub). Is a 10" sub going to blow you hair back...no. Is it going to improve sound quality and provide a deeper tone absolutely. I think when reviewing a 10" sub you have to keep everything in perspective. So far I am pleased with the sub and can crank it without it having distortion. Granted I have only had it for under 24 hours so I'll report back after I can make more HU adjustments. Here's a pic.

Just curious what size box you put it in, also what is driving it?

sealed, ported?

I have a Kenwood Kac-8105D 1000-Watt Class D Mono Amplifier driving it with this box: http://www.rtboxes.com/ford-extended1-sealed/

The sub is wired in parallel for a 2ohm load.

I can't remember the exact specs of the box since I purchased it awhile ago. The box is as big as you can get it without removing the jack under the rear seat. (Note: I only paid $79 for the box not the $129)

Well after a few days of listening to the sub I have been really impressed with its output. Anybody interested in this sub rest assured it is a quality sub. Glad I made the purchase.
