I got the Kicker Hideaway. I paid quite a bit less than the $300 list price, (I think $200, but it was a while ago) and so far it's worth every penny. It has an amazing presence for any size, but it's especially striking for how small it is. It fits fine under the passenger seat and is secure enough that I didn't need to drill mounting holes or anything.

It's also designed to be removed easily, so it comes with a wiring harness that you'll have to splice in. My only complaint with this design is that you can't simply connect the RCA sub out without having to get a bit creative. I was still able to wire it in without incident by simply cutting off the ends of a standard set of RCA cables and just butt splicing the bare wires. It's fine with a signal level input, but is designed to handle a high level input if necessary.

It's self powered with a integrated 150A amp and requires a direct connection to the battery.

I'd rate it as highly recommended, just remember that wiring isn't going to be quite as easy as it should be. Other side of the coin is that you can throw it in a track car and pull it out for track day with a single connector.

Enjoy!
