[QUOTE="Julian Rivera, post: 1590459, member: 44087"] I finally got the Kicker HS10 installed a few days back and I am very happy! For $315 I'm not sure there is any better option out there. The installation is about as minimal as it can possibly be. If you just want to add some more bass into the B&O system this is an easy solution, especially if you like listening to the music in the middle volume ranges (10-18). This volume range is really where the kicker will shine. I listen to basically everything except country music. I was a little disappointed with the sub when I 1st hooked it up as the woofer was just being overpowered and distorted. After I finally got the bass boost, frequency, and gain adjusted I was blown away with how well this thin profile sub worked. Getting to the install... Very easy to remove the OEM B&O sub. The kicker does come with some mounting brackets (I thought it was also supposed to have velcro straps as an option but didn't come with them) and screws but I have not mounted it yet. It actually fits nice and snug without mounting if you don't want to. I used some Posi-taps connects for the wires cuz I don't have a soldering tool. These are about as easy as it gets for tapping into some wiring. The sub harness has L (+-) & R (+-) wires that I tapped into the OEM sub harness. I ran the ground to the bolt that was used for holding down the OEM sub. Then I ran power to the battery (there is a fuse that you have to splice in next to the battery, which is included). There was about 6 inches left over in length to run the power up the drivers side and through the grommet with the hood latch cable (at least I think it is the hood latch cable). I also ran the bass knob up the drivers side and mounted it down out of the way. That was it. The sub turns on when it senses an audio signal from the speaker wires. After I shut the truck off it takes about a minute for the sub to turn off.
