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.

it’s good for what it is that being said i’m used to my show truck with 4 10” in a single cab. this basically adds a stock or mildly better than stock thump. it’s nothing that you’re gonna feel in your chest or impress any girls with that Honda Civic that pulls up next to you is still gonna blow you away but for Personal use it sounds good.

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!

Directions say you don’t need to connect the blue remote wire if you tap into the radio speaker wires. THIS IS NOT TRUE!!! Installed this in my 2017 Ford F150 XLT Supercrew cab and had intermittent shut offs. Thought I had a bad ground. After moving my ground several times and almost taking it into a mechanic to check the body ground points, I finally chatted up a professional installer. I’m no expert but following YouTube videos, I managed to install this in about 90 mins, including pulling the stock radio and tapping into the front speaker wires at the back of the head unit. Ran my power straight to battery and mounted the sub behind driver’s rear seat, which is a perfect space for it. I did not connect the blue remote wire per the instructions…it worked flawlessly for about a week, then intermittent shut offs 😡😡. The installer told me, “ I always connect the remote wire, regardless”. So, I connected the remote wire by tapping into a fuse that turns on and off with the key (#36 in passenger front fuse panel on 2017 F150) and that solved the problem. Connect that blue remote!! I never knew how much I needed a sub in this car until I installed this. It definitely solves the problem for those who want/need some decent bass, but don’t want to do a custom install with the limited space in the F150’s. My other car has a 12” JL Audio W6 and sub which is the best sub setup I’ve ever owned. Hits hard and deep even on the lows. Clean, deep bass. Great for reggae, soca and deep house I mostly listen to. The kicker won’t touch that, but it definitely fills the bass void in my F150 with the stock radio. The music genres I like, the kicker hs10 does really well for the money and ease of install. I’m no expert by far, but I was able to watch a few YouTube videos and knock this out in about 90 mins. 4 stars only because the instructions were wrong about the blue remote wire, otherwise it’s a 5star purchase for the money vs what you get in terms of filling that missing bass in your sound. Rather than spend the money for a custom install, I’d go this route with any vehicle that I didn’t want to invest thousands into for a sub, and where space is limited.

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

Installed the Kicker 46HS10 in my side-by-side and couldn’t be happier! This compact subwoofer packs a serious punch — the bass is clean, tight, and surprisingly powerful for its size. It made a huge difference in sound quality, even with the engine noise and open-air environment. Installation was easy, and the built-in amp is a huge plus — no need to mess with extra components. It fit perfectly under the seat without sacrificing space. If you’re looking for a no-hassle, high-impact bass upgrade for your UTV or ATV, this is it. Highly recommended!

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.
