What it offers is just enough to keep a majority of people going and it does so at a decent price. Its aluminum cone comes fitted right in the middle of a urethane surround. This filters out the sound to give smooth yet surprisingly deep results. To keep things even more interesting, it features a 150 Watt amplifier which pushes this bad boy’s limits even further.The side panel offers easy access to RCA and auto-sensing speaker inputs. The side panel also gives access to Phase, Gain, LP Crossover and Remote Sub Level controls for greater flexibility during installation. Low Pass crossover allows you to determine the high and low end of your subwoofer’s capabilities. When you set a higher number, your system will be able to accurately and recreate sounds it receives that are below that level.

I passed the RCA cables, remote volume cable, and remote amp turn on cable along the passenger side of the transmission hump (to separate power and signal lines to avoid potential noise). Then, I crossed the power cable across the signal lines at a right angle at the rear of the transmission hump, and passed them under the carpeting and poked them out the existing square hole under the passenger seat.
