I highly recommend this product, I am very impressed with the punch it packs in such a small package. I have a crew cab F-250 and it really sounds great. It is very punchy and it adds so much depth to the music. I listen to old country, new country, rock, and rap, everything sounds exceptionally better. I would definitely buy it again.

This sub was perfect for my needs. I have a 2004 F250 Crew Cab and I recently upgrade my factor door speakers with Alpine 5x7s and a Alpine KTA-445 amp. The new door speakers sounded so much better than the factor speakers but I was still missing those low frequencies. I knew I needed a sub but I didnt want to install anything behind the rear back seats because I have storage racks/bins behind the rear passenger seats. This is where this sub saves the day. I was able to install this sub underneath the driver side rear seat easily. The sub really rounded out the audio in the truck. I listen to bits of everything, 80s, 90s, 2000s, grundge, rock, metal, rap, hip-hop, etc. One little con to this sub is it has a little bit of trouble hitting those really low frequencies. ...

For 95% of the time it hits everything for me. Just a word of caution if your wanting to impress people as you drive down the street, this probably isnt the sub your looking for. The sound inside your vehicle/cab will sound great though. The only reason Im giving it 4 stars is because it couldnt hit every single low frequency. Im a stickler when it comes to ratings.

For those that have complained that the VPAS-12 does not add bass to their system, they must have not adjusted it properly. I installed on my old commuter car(1996 Camry) since I am in the car for two hours a day and let me tell you it has dramatically helped the experience.I placed it under the drivers seat and I get the added benefit of a massage, from the thumping, LOL. Everyone I have shown the set up loves it and think that it sounds better than a more expensive, even newer car. It is paired to a Pioneer head unit and Cerwin Vega door and rear deck speakers.Thanks again guys for fast shipping and great pricing.

Easy install. Sounds great. It wont rattle your license plate but rear view mirror vibrates. Great sound for the price. Very low profile. Fits under back seat if my 2011 chevy 2500.
I grew up on cerwin vega the late 80s early 90s cerwin vega owned it AND STILL DOES if you love deep vibrating bass. I made a mistake bought the Rockford punch 8 powered sub GARBAGE put it under my 2018 tundra driver seat could barely feel it and hardly any bass. So I bought this unit almost the same size as the punch and CHEAPER. HOLY @%&! yea now I can hear the bass and feel it. Brought me back to my teenager days rolling down the road with 2 15 inch vegas bumping NWA. Along with a rock fosgate prime R25-1X12 and this unit I am all good. Dont hesitate BUY
For a little 12-inch shallow sub, this thing bumps. Easy to conceal under a seat when you dont have much room.
If youre looking to hit those window rattling lows, this wont do it. If youre looking for some pretty good punch without sacrificing ANY space, then this will more than suffice. I was quite surprised with the sound of this rather small package. Sturdy build, good power, and rounds out a decent little system nicely. One sounds nice, two would sound really good. Im going to add one in the future to my pickup truck. I upgraded my factory system with a Soundstream flip screen head unit, Rockford Fosgate 6.5s, and one of these Cerwin Vega VPA 12s. Im very pleased with the added punch this unit delivered. It hits some notes hard enough to rattle the mirrors. Id say the sweet spot is 75-120 Hz. Like I said, it doesnt have the excursion to hit the lows, but it hits upper ... MoreIf youre looking to hit those window rattling lows, this wont do it.

Lets start off with what it is not. It is NOT a 12! This is a 10 shallow sub! Dimensions are roughly 11 x 13 x 3 - 12 sub wont fit. So that is the bad. For a 10 sub it does sound pretty well, and is surprising for its small size. I had a small area to work with, there were no reviews out there for this product, so I bought it and hoped for the best. I did not get what I was expecting, a 10 sub will not hit as low as a 12 sub. I expected a 12 sub from all the info available on this item. However, it works, it sounds decent, and I do recommend it for someone looking for a little extra. It does sound better than the 8 speaker options out there for the same size package. I am satisfied with it and have been using it for a few months now. Again, I do recommend it!
Although you wont have extreme bass, this unit pounds! I have a 2003 GMC EXTENDED CAB with the Cerwin Vega VPSA12 UNDER the back seat along with the Kenwood kvx-5776 double din touch screen deck and no other amps and kicker 6x9s under the back seat. It sounds amazing with good ???????????????? bass! I am really happy with how it sounds in a ???????????? truck!
We purchased a new Mustang Mach E this spring and it has the factory B&O system. It generally sounds good, but they only included a 6x9 to cover the low end bass and it was... very underwhelming. We wanted to add some true low end bass to capture the full range of sound (something that one might expect with a high end factory system) without performing a bunch of modifications or by consuming the hatch space with a big sub box. There was a nice small compartment under the hatch floor that has a tire repair kit and portable charger. We settled on this since it would fit nicely in the compartment. We had it professionally installed and tuned. We were horrified at first and were about to toss it into the river until we did some tweaking on the tuning ourselves. What a ...

It can really hit some of the lows and with the right song, will add enough bass that can be felt in your chest and get the rearview and side mirrors jumping. So glad we kept with it! It does everything we hoped/wanted and more. So impressed that Im considering adding one in my F150 as well.
