i ran a free one, i think it's a 6" model, for a while in a home theater setup. they provide a decent amount of bass. not earth shattering, but a much better option than any of those 'low profile underseat' subs.

they're pretty straight forward to install. everything connects with a single connector on the back of them, so a little nicer/easier to unplug when not needed as well. and the mounting kit really just uses 2 bolts to secure it down once you have the main mounting pads installed, which would make it extremely easy to remove as needed.

low power enough, you could likely run it off the factory amplifier harness in the trunk(honestly best to run your own power and ground, but for a quick-n-dirty install, the 100watt version would likely be trouble-free off the oem amp wiring), and the harness next to that would provide the high level audio signal, as well as the remote turn-on signal.

i would highly recommend building your own plug-in adapter harness using something like the metra 70-1761, and 71-1761-- connecting those 2 harnesses wire-for-wire, and then cutting up the wires between them that you'd need would allow for a 100% plug-n-play, reversible connection.

unfortunately, tapping into the oem amp power isn't as plug-n-play, but could be done.
