Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)A couple years ago I put an Alpine 9845 and a set of 4, 6.5 inch, Boston Acoustics speakers in my Dodge Dakota. It is a regular cab, small pickup truck so there isn't much room to improve the sound system. The system I installed sounded pretty good but lacked low end. At the time, there were no good sub woofer solutions that would fit in the cab and allow the seats to adjust to a comfortable position.
I found this unit on while looking to see if anything new was available and small enough. This and the Kenwood unit seemed like they would fit but this one is smaller with a larger driver. The very small housing will rob a lot of the bass volume produced by the 8" driver but an 8" will always produce a deeper bass than the 6.5" found in the Kenwood. The install was easy and typical. Run the power, ground, remote on signal and a pair of RCA's to the amp/sub combo. There are a good selection of controls on the unit to tailor the sound to your system. The remote gain is not needed unless you need it. My head unit has an adjustable output for sub signal so I tossed it out. A little bit of adjustment and I had it balanced nicely with the 6.5's.
It has a little more power than I needed but not much. I wasn't looking for mind numbing bass. I listen to rock mainly and wanted something that would fill out the bottom end. It does add a nice kick and rumble you can feel. With the 45 watts x 4 channel output of the head unit, it works quite well with a little power to spare. It is a good unit if you are looking to balance the sound in the small cab of a Dodge Dakota. The sub/amp combo it is so small I could fit two more behind the seats. I only gave it 4 stars because the stated 600 Watts is a little deceptive if you don't know what you are buying.
