"The good: -Easy to install, i used 8 gauge wiring, and followed the directions i found online on how to hook up basic/amps subs. You'd have to be an idiot to hook it up wrong, as there is ONE positive, ONE negative speaker terminal....and with the subs being 2ohms, all you need is a +/- speaker wire each, and thats it. These subs dont push too much power....they probably hit like 300rms....but they hit the mids-mid/lows pretty good."
"This has held up strong (and I have put it to the test) for me over the half of year that I have had it installed."
"If you are looking for affordable high quality subs DO NOT PASS THIS UP.. they sound great and perform very well with a 500watt amp(under $100)!!"
"Husband loves it!"
"I've owned a couple champion car stereo systems over the years with custom built, band pass sub boxes."
"If you want to be a guy that turns heads like crazy and get called in for disturbing the peace lol these arent for you."
"The bass sound waves killed my neighbor's baby halfway through Kid Rock's song "Early Morning stoned Pimp"."
Constructed with 5/8-Inch MDF.

If you want a good sub without the hassle of getting a separate amp/sub combo, just buy this. UPDATE 3: After two years with the 10 inch, which was still working flawlessly, I sold it to a friend for cheap."
"Easy to install with great sound."
"Wow!"
"It's not the most powerful sub out there, so if you want to compete in audio competition, look elsewhere."
"But if you have horrible bass in your stock vehicle or maybe even slightly upgraded mid and high speakers and you are looking for a little bump this is plenty."
"Paired with MB quart 5 channel (4 8" speakers 250w per pair and 10" JL sub 300w @ 2ohm tuned to higher range than 12" for metal ) The 12" RF adds the lower bass notes that were missing from the 10" JL sub."
"It gets loud enough to actually start to hurt to listen to yet stays clear with good source material."
"It will not fit under my 2016 NISSAN Frontier back seat, even with the trays removed, which is very disappointing."
CURVED PLEXIGLASS VIEWING WINDOW – illumiNITE® design with Brushed Aluminum subwoofer cones create a surreal viewing experience while the Ventilated Control Circuitry System ensures system coolness during peak usage while delivering studio quality performance.

"I have this in the aft cabin on my boat which is perfect for bass throughout the boat, and it creates a cool blue light in the space which goes well with the LED lighting in the main cabin."
"I listen to heavy metal, techno and rap and it is a pleasure to drive in the car right now. I have hatchback and illumination is very soft, it's not like it makes the car shine."
"It can make your car BOOM BOOM BOOM and make things shake, but you can tune it to your liking with the level of bass. I have it adjust to medium bass."
"Bumps bumps bumps and looks amazing."
"Amazingly clean bass and the subs slam against their own glass instead of my trunk which I like dual has good products for the money."
"I put it in my trailer with 1000 watts max amp hooked to it."
"Get a capacitor as well so you don't mess up your battery or alternator and so your bass hits gard everytime."

"great stater subs i got the good condition option and only the box that was damaged the subs were brand new out of the package, the bass is AWSOME rattles the car and the bodys in it and leaves the people in the back seat breathless , at 1st i really doubted theses subs when i got them but i was wrong once i got them tuned, i have them hooked up to the 1400watt plye chopper series amp and it works awesome, they wont rattle the cars around you (much) but ther still good and works best in open trunk cars/trucks like a jimmy or a blazer and explores the more air that escapes the better i would suggest theses as starter subs to anyone, and sure they dont have nothin on my friends JL 500$ system but they dont fall far behind, PS LED LIGHTING + and - i hookd up the + to my illumination wire on my deck and the - to the ground on the car very nice leds very sensitive to power so be careful 12v."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I hoped to utilized the factory Styrofoam form to house a shallow mount sub, and instead of using my old Crunch 1000 watt bridgeable amp connected to a sub, this all-in-one unit works GREAT! After about two hours of tuning and putting the unit to the test by pumping multiple musical genres (Metal/Rock, Reggae, R&B, Hip Hop, Classical and Country) through her, the unit went into protection mode. I'd hoped that the unit would run cool enough by itself to avoid a shut down but I also knew that the Styrofoam storage shelf is a perfect insulator and has virtually no air flow. Stage two of the install was the addition of two 3 inch 12V cooling fans, (one intake fan and one exhaust fan) connected to the remote power wire, which turns them on when the Amp is powers up, and strategically placed on the hottest side of the amp; blowing the majority of fresh, cooler air pressure on the left side of the storage box and pulled out by the exhaust fan at end of the air channel, blown out into a different chamber to avoid the re-circulation of hot air back onto the amp."
"Installed this as an add on in a 2003 Ford Expedition XLT... fit the unit in the OEM sub area on the drivers side rear end of vehicle."
"This is great little unit for the price, fills out the sound very well."
"Very happy with the sound quality."
"Good bass easy to adjust."
"Perfect for my needs!"
"Great little subwoofer that fits underneath your car seat."

Find Best Price at Amazon"- Has a convenient carabiner hanger so you can hang it on a hook in the garage or in the backyard. NEGATIVES: - Not great low end tones like the Bose SoundLink and distorts a bit at high volumes. - The lowest volume setting with an iPhone connected is still pretty loud, so if you like super quiet background music at the desk, this may not work. I'm really pleased with what I got for the money, but if you're super particular about sound quality then I'd recommend you pay the additional 100-150 bucks to get something a bit more high end."
"With that being said I would have to say this is way more speaker than what you pay for."
"This might be one of the best portable speakers I’ve ever used, and it might be the most affordable for such a great speaker."
"( UPDATE )So I have been using this speaker for a lttle over 2 weeks for a average of three hours a day not including weekends at about 50% voulume and I have yet to have a need to recharge the batteries. The bells and whistels are not there it doesn't talk there is no battery indicator .I think the engineering went into the the build and the sound quality ."
"You pretty much have to get a full surround sound system for that - even the $500 Bose speakers start losing power after 5-8 people get in the room. This thing is built like a tank, and great for working indoors, out doors, cooking dinner, taking a shower - etc."
"If you're looking for a good indoor/outdoor activity or work speaker; this is the speaker for you."
"Very good for the price."
"I guess it depends on the phone which to use speaker with, but phone icon on speaker pause's the music."

"Before I purchased this transmitter, I was basically stuck using closed captions (fine for shows like The Walking Dead, where there's surprisingly little dialog, not great for the NFL Network or ESPN, where the closed captions are often incorrect and lag far behind). (2) Put the transmitter into pairing mode (hold down the power button to turn it on, then double-tap so it starts flashing red and blue). (3) Put your other device into pairing mode and hold it close to - but not touching - the transmitter."
"It arrived with a well written instruction book, USB charging cable, RCA male to 3.5 mm male cable, and a 3.5 mm male to 3.5 mm male cable. Item looks well made with the power button on the side of the unit.The red and blue LED lights surround the power button and are easy to see. I currently have it paired with an Auvio brand wireless Headphone that list having Bluetooth version 4.0."
"I upgraded my Bose noise cancelling headphones to wireless by attaching this set on rx (receiver) mode to the left earpiece with a piece of hook and loop tape. It does require that the connection to the almost-proprietary headphone jack be seated just-so in order to get stereo but once it is, it stays that way and the sound is great."

Find Best Price at Amazon"If I wanted to listen to music on my phone I had to deal with plugging the phone in to the aux port and arranging cables and such. Installation: Installation is literally plug and play. It comes with a 12v adapter with two USB ports so you plug it into the lighter adapter and still have a port to plug in your phone for charging with a USB cord. In my car the aux port is right underneath the 12v port so it was not an issue. 2. Pressing the button on top will restart any playback that was going before. Additionally, I have to sometimes restart the bluetooth on my phone to connect to the Honda factory system in the pilot."
"If you are like me and have a radio that has both usb and aux ports, but no Bluetooth, then this is a accessory is a must have. First of all I was a little scared that it would not work with the usb port on my radio, because I know it wasn't meant for charging. CONS: Also, had my radio not had a usb port, or had the usb ports not powered the soundbot, the device would not have worked for me because my aux port and the cigarette lighter are farther away that what this cord allows."
"I'd been looking for a replacement head unit, which I had done before in other cars, but did not want to lose my backup camera that came with the head unit. Boot time was also decreased; the unit will start up in about 3-5 seconds as opposed to the 45-1min of the standard in chead unit."

Its bright as *(&^ at night."

Find Best Price at Amazon"After the radio has been running for a few minutes, whenever I tune to a station in my presets, it starts at the beginning of the song. Start this mode and your radio will play one complete song from a random preset. It works with most music channels and it's an easy way to listen to a mix of all your presets. The best part of TuneMix is the ability to skip a song you don't want to hear and simply jump to the next one. The downside is that since you're doing it yourself, it won't be as clean of an install as if the receiver was built into your car. The signal is further degraded if you have multiple devices plugged into other outlets in your car (e.g. my iPhone charger)."
"I love the 20 preset buttons for my favorite channels and the color screen looks great. The sound quality is much better having this wired directly to your factory radio vs using the FM transmitter option."
"Finally, this is another radio and SiriusXM charges an additional fee to activate it (because, of course, you'll be listening to them all at the same time)."
"My mom's Buick Regal XM radio would loose sync for a few seconds on 1 part of my commute."

"Installation is simple, granted that you only use the fm feature built into the device. You just plug the power cord in, stick the device to your dash, plug the antenna in, tell it which station to transmit on, then turn your car's fm radio to that station."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The longer version: I’ve got a stock 2004 Honda Odyssey with no way to plug in an auxiliary jack (without taking the dash apart - no bueno). So I’m cruising a discount site, come across this cool looking bluetooth FM transmitter and figure “why not?”. The first thing I noticed was that it was smaller than I had anticipated, not in a bad way, but I took some pictures to give a good representation of it’s size. She plugged it in, it fired up, you press the main button to get it ready to pair with your device, it was already transmitting to a low band FM station which we’d dialed in on the radio, over the speakers came a movie announcer type voice that told it was pairing. From the T10 you can pause the song, adjust the volume, skip to the next or previous track and it all worked fine. At first we couldn’t hear any music when it said it was transmitting - you need to make sure the volume is turned up on your phone, in your car, and on the T10 itself. I’m not taking any stars off for that because it’s totally the layout of my van and no fault of the T10 - I’m sure it’d fit great in many sedans or any kind of car that has a power port thats within easy reach. I plugged in my phone to the charger and back into the T10 via the 1/8” cord - I wanted to see if this would create a ground loop scenario. It takes any type of input via a 1/8” cord (regular headphone jack) and it has a miniSD slot (I didn’t try the SD card), and it has a built in charger."
"Turning it was easy (and there are plenty of websites to help you find empty FM channels), and it only took about ten seconds to pair the first time, and it's been almost instantaneous ever since."
"Why or why did I not know about this before my 8 day, 3500 mile road trip last summer where I spent half the time trying to balance a speaker on my shoulder in order to hear my podcasts?"
"But overall it is a great unit and makes listening way better than it ever was for me."
"Honestly the Bluetooth was way easier to setup compared to cars that I've paired to. that have Bluetooth built in."
"As someone who has purchased FM transmitters years back, I was skeptical but the sound quality, truly is very clear. Pros: Clear sound."
