Default What powered sub should I get?

Wanting to feel a little bass and not take up room under the back seat. Any suggestions?

Fox Box
JL Audio Stealthbox
MTX Thunderform
SuperCrewSound
DIY box
Small prebuilt box if it will fit under the seat

a powered sub is not your best....you can find small subs (JL microsub) that'll take up minimal room, easy to move but yield a good bass response. also, a few have had a box made/found pre-fab to fin behind the rear seat, which is also a great spot to mount the sub amp.

Trying to keep under the rear seat free for space. Was looking more to the sound ordance, or kicker hide away type setup.

I have the Kicker Hideaway sub installed behind my rear seat in my 2014 XLT Screw.... you can not beat it for the money and ease of installation. Why not just buy one of those?

Yep... what he said. Can't get much simpler than the Kicker Hideaway. I know there are subs with boxes and separate amps that might sound better, but I think mine sounds pretty darn good tho.

How many of the hideaways are you guys running? And it doesn't require an amp right? Just run power, ground and RCA's back there, correct?

I am running 1, although I am still contemplating running a 2nd one. 1 really is probably all you need if you're just wanting to add some bass to your sound system. You don't even have to run RCA cables, it has HiLevel inputs on the unit. Look up the subwoofer install without removing the doors thread in the stereo section, it will show you what all you have to do to run the Hideaway.
