Pretty easy to install, comes with all the cables and wire length you will need. Definite improvement in sound quality, not a HUGE amount of bass but a way fuller better sound overall when combined with the small front door speakers. I would consider installing two of these if we decide more bass is needed.
In a convertible you gotta really crank up the volume when you're going fast, to overcome the wind noise. In a normal small car with a roof this sub would be absolutely perfect.
We have a 2001 Yukon XL 2500 that was hardly ever driven. The foam surrounds on the factory door speakers were rotten to dust and the previous owner removed the factory sub. Also, the factory amp was having overheating issues. I put in a cheap kenwood non-mechanical center unit, bypassed the amp and replaced the door speakers with the cheapest name brand speakers I could find. It worked and while I love the Bluetooth and Pandora etc of the new head unit, the door speakers could not reproduce any bass. Raising the bass in the head unit did healp but caused the small amp in it to clip sooner.
lately, we have started driving the truck a lot more and well... it really needed some help in the lower end for the sound system. I certainly had room for a traditional sub amp and box but even in a big SUV, sometimes you don't want that damn thing back there. Going off the dimensions of this, I found that I could tuck it away behind the front portion of the center console.
The install was pretty straight forward. Like others have mentioned this does come with wiring to get to the battery for the positive lead and it should be enough to reach for most applications and includes a fuse and inline holder. I was using RCAs out of the head unit so didn't have to mess with the high level adapter cable thing. You will need to supply the RCA cables. I grounded it on some random metal piece behind the dash and ran the blue wire up to the head unit. Routed the remote and tested it out. It worked so I stuffed it behind the console.
So... the sound? Well, without messing with any settings, it was certainly tons better in my situation than without. I turned the loudness and bass boost off in the head unit and that allowed the door speakers to stay clear louder again. This powered "SUB" woofer was really peaking in the upper bass frequency though. It was not well rounded at all. Some of that may have been where I decided to position it.
Luckily, the cheap kenwood head unit still had great audio controls including full crossover support and a 14 band EQ. I set the high pass filters to 70hz and the low pass to 100 hz. Both with a standard 12db slope. I don't know yet what frequencies the bands are for the EQ in the head unit because for some reason they just name them numerically. I took band 1 (Lowest bass) and bumped it up 5 db. then band 2 went down 4 db. Band 3 I adjusted up 2 db. I may be off a little since going by memory but it took that sort of dialing in to get it where I am now actually happy with it. It is WAY smoother and more rounded sounding and still keeps up perfectly with the head unit amp before distorting. It actually fills the entire large SUV with what I consider very pleasant low end.
So, in conclusion, my experience mimicked most others. Easy to install, small and requires adjustment to get sounding real good. I can definitely see how the jeep crowd loves these as my anemic door speaker situation is similar to what they are stuck with. If you have a pretty decent factory stereo system, this MAY not give you the dramatic improvement you are hoping for. Also, while this made the low end in the cabin quite good, it does not carry outside of the car. For me, that is perfect.

No vibrations or distortion and easy sound adjustment, perfect for me as I don't want a loud subwoofer, but my car had a distinct lack of bass response that this fills in perfectly.
Very happy with it.
