Yes, the highest rated under seat subwoofers have built in amplifier. For the best sound quality an amplifier should have at least 100 watts rms output power. Where can I buy the best underseat subwoofers? It is actually one of the easiest ways to add some bass to your car audio system, but it does include some wiring. So if you are not familiar with this kind of task, better leave it to the professionals. Finally, a great remote: Say goodbye to flimsy and cheap plastic remotes. This beauty will keep you safe while driving. You’re getting amazing quality at a great price, so no wonder it’s selling like hotcakes. I’ve installed it in quite a few rides, like in a Tacoma, Jeep Rubicon, Honda Civic, Tundra, and Fiat 500, to name a few.

Assuming you buy the same kit linked above, you will use the blue wire for the 12V supply. This will be connected directly the battery, passed through the firewall, and then connected to the subwoofer. An 8″x5.5″ rectangular driver gives maximum base while taking up less space. Upgraded from the KSC-SW11, the KSC-PSW7EQ is a bit bigger but also drives more power. The remote control comes with an Active EQ switch that allows you to change the output of the subwoofer between heavy (low frequency), flat (standard), and tight (clean). With a maximum power output 125Watts, the Infinity BassLink SM is undeniably very competent. Its already superb production is further enhanced by its built-in class D amplifier. Look for the wire from the driver’s side footwell and the wire should be easy to spot. Pull it through roughly 7 feet. I decided on the Alpine SWE-S8 powered sub to fill out the lower registers for my speakers, which roll off at 70 Hz. I decided to install it myself after seeing there were multiple existing grommets through the firewall to access to battery for power.Price. Because of the aluminum enclosure, this subwoofer is much more expensive than similar subwoofers in the same class. It is still Alpine quality, but the aluminum enclosure increases the price. Alpine did a great job with this subwoofer, so no wonder people are installing it left and right. My share of rides where I’ve installed it is a Nissan Hardbody, Tacoma, 4Runner, Silverado, Tundra Crewmax, and many others. All-in-all a nice upgrade of innovation to this powered compact submarket. The only thing we can resent is the price! You will need an expert to dial this baby in. To get the best performance out of it, you need to take your sweet time to make it perfect. Perfect bass inside: if the windows are up, there’s nothing leaking out, so no disturbing the neighbors.

The KSC-PSW7EQ is an active under-seat subwoofer that is a revised version of the previous SW-11. The KSC-PSW7EQ is perfect for providing clear audio without taking up too much space in the car. With a full size of 2-3/4″ x 11″ x 7-7/8″ (H x L x W), you can install the subwoofer anywhere in the car easily. Short Power Cord. Some users have complained that the power cable on the Alpine PWE-S8 is too short to be useful, and you’ll need to have an extender for the harness that comes with the sub.

As expected, there’s isn’t that much boom for an 8” under-seat sub; still, it’s more than enough for a small vehicle.
