Frontier CC is great for small spaces!

Installs in a flat box under the Nissan Frontier. Driven by 200 watts 4 ohms into a Rockford 5 channel amp which is also recommended! This 200W subwoofer outperforms 6.5 Infinity components. Wow, it runs at 1/4 gain and once properly tuned it sounds clean for component fill bass. This isn't your competition bass, but it will definitely wake up the neighbors. If you are looking for that kind of powerful bass I would consider 2 8" JLs in a perforated case for any truck with limited space.

Pros
  • Keeping my fists
Cons
  • Only available in black

They go very well with the flat mount in my setup

I bought 2 of these subwoofers to mount in a custom subwoofer box on the back of my Toyota Tundra Max crew. They pair very well with the flat mount in my setup. Aside from the speakers, which look amazing, especially with the black carpet, these speakers sound amazing. I'm not a serious audiophile, but I'm very happy with how my humble setup sounds. Infinity ref 1300 mono amps, 2 of which are approximately 0.8 cubic feet each. I've always been a fan of the 2 10 vs 1 12 sound and they are…

Trash - Not working after 10 months

I bought this 10 inch subwoofer last year on August 30th 2019 because it is switchable. He worked for 10 months. very good with outstanding bass, but from the end of may 2020 i had problems with it, the subwoofer started to break at high volume and finally stopped working on 6/1/2020. An internal connection problem was that. The 4 ohm speaker was blown but when I switched it to 2 ohms it worked again? decided to buy a Pioneer 12" Downward Fire subwoofer as a replacement

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Some issues

Great fit for my small Jeep TJ cab.

This speaker gives my Jeep TJ the necessary sound power. The speaker is unobtrusive, so I was a bit skeptical. I couldn't find a matching box for the speaker, but the specs included parts for three boxes. I chose the sealed box because it takes up less space. I built it to the specified specs and gave it more power than suggested. This works very well. It has both the deep base I was looking for and dynamic range that also boosts midrange that 4-inch speakers just didn't have. Smart Amplifier…

Amazing subwoofer! I bought this subwoofer to replace my Kicker CompC that came with the subwoofer for my Ford F-150. The kicker had similar characteristics, being a low-profile subwoofer with a voice coil. It actually has a higher RMS rating than the Infinity, but it can't even be compared. The Kicker would start to distort at high volumes while the Infinity doesn't even resonate. This Infinity has a selector switch to use as 2 ohms or 4 ohms which is very handy and helps when hooking up an…
