Will this sub produce enough bass for a 2006 Ford Explorer ?? And if so what size amp should I use to push it?

Depends on what you mean by enough. Yes to bumping in your suv. No to trying to make the car next to you vibrate. Good size amp would be 200-300 rms@4ohm amp

I think you'll be surprised. I have it in a jeep cherokee and it sounds great. All I have pushing it is this 50$ boss mono block. I liked how compact they both were. Still have tons of room and the sound is impressive. Everyone mentions how they like the sound of my system, how the bass is clean and deep and not overpowering. Plus, if you don't like it just return it...

Yes it will! I had mine in a dodge caravan for a year. I'm using an amp rated at 300W with bridging configured.

I have mine set at 60,0" phase and ~100hz on bypass and I've had no problems. What amp are you using to drive it? I listen to lots of heavy bass music and can easily drive myself out of the room if I crank my amp so the question is--? what do you want to do the heavy lifting. The amp or the sub?

This amp will push that no problem if your sub is 1000 rms this might not be the p for you but if that's the peak power and your rms is between 300-500 you should be ok also you should know if your sub is a dual coil sub do not run it at 1 ohm or else you will blow the amp

You should be okay with that. Just be sure not to overpower it or you will blow the sub. I've used underpowered amps on mine and they sound amazing!

Ya, it should. The amp will push it. You probably won't get that trunk rattling bass. But you'll get bass good enough for the inside of the car.

Yes this sub should work "reasonably " well with any bookshelf loudspeaker design.. Keeping in mind this is a small sub you should have reasonable expectations for its output. Be sure to set up your bass management correctly in your pre amp settings and take care to make adjustments on sub controls and all should be fine... Remember this sub needs ample break in time to sound its best... Happy Holidays and enjoy...

It's a really nice box, hope you have plenty room it's a decent size and very deep for big magnet subs and has a labryth build for deep bass. I don't know what ohms your going to run. I think that subwoofer is 4ohm you can look up how to wire it down to 2ohm, sometimes even in the installation instructions. But I love that box and I'm only pushing 500 watts and it shakes my SUV, I'm using pure copper wires throughout my setup though.

If you are just looking to add bass to the factory system this will do a very good job of that and it will fit under just about any seat out there I would imagine. If you are looking to add to a high powered system, the kicker hideaway is not gonna give you much.

All these kickers need a little power to sound good. Head-units don't have enough out put. I run Pioneer 40 watts RMS x4 to 4 6x8s in my Ford Explorer. High an mid sound great. Bass is kicker 300 watt rms with kicker 12. Its loud enough for me.

Should be fine. I have it powering two 12" Bostons. I ran 8 gauge wire to it. "BOSS Audio KIT2 8 Gauge Amplifier" I ordered that for 16$ has everything you'll need... My speakers are also 4 ohm, so I have them wired normal.. but if yours are 8ohm I'd suggest hooking them up parallel, you'll get more power. But, Pioneer is a Japanese made amp. So you'll get better sound quality then bass. Though it'll still kick, it works fine for me. But if you want something designed more for bass, get an American made sub, something like kickerz.

If you have experience installing 12v car audio, this should give you no trouble. It has power, ground, and turn-on wire for activating the internal amp. Comes with plenty of speaker wire as well. Just keep in mind this is not a high powered sub so don't expect tons of thump. For small spaces, it will deepen and warm up the low frenquencies. If you want more bass, try a powered Bazooka 10" or the Blaupunkt powered 10". Mine was installed in a travel tralier and it works fine in that application.

The sub is an 8 inch, but it kicks REAL hard. It's a really good sub if you don't have a lot of trunk space to spare. You should buy an amp with an RMS rating of 250W, as that's what the sub can handle. Make sure it's the RMS rating and Not the "max power" rating.

I have a friend who has used it on an Orion sub if you put it in the right enclosure you should do just fine I used it on two 12" pioneer champion subs and it was enough to make it hard to breathe . Hope I helped but one thing to keep in mind with this amp is turn the gain up almost all the way before the bass boost

i have these speakers in my ford...good bass response. looks really well built..

you will have to cut a hole in the back of the speaker box for the speaker to fit. The magnet is about 1/2" deeper than the factory ford sub-woofer. It worked really well with my box, it was from the Mach series in the expedition. But if you have the 8" sub in your explorer, chances are pretty good it will have the same box.

I am running (4) 6x8" Focals - (2) 8" LS7 Kicker (2) ohm Subs in my Lincoln Mark LT. Great Responsive Bass (crossed over 50). SPL before distortion is 118. Works for me..

I have my sub connected to a BOSS 1100Watt amp in my SUV. As of right now I only have one sub and it is loud and has an amazing bass to it. If you are looking for a sub that is loud and has no limits on what sound and bass it captures this is definitely the sub to go with. I enjoy my BOSS system so much I am ordering another sub and box.
