Default Powered compact subwoofers

Does anyone have any experience with, and can recommend, a powered compact subwoofer such as the Kicker hideaways or the Rockville's? I am looking for something small like those. I am not interested in adding a bigger box or using a box that incorporates the cubby on the driverside of my grandsport such as the the JL stealth box. Thanks.

I have used this same JL Audio microsub in countless cars, and it sounds amazing. This one is a 10" with 350 watts if I remember correctly. It is bigger yes, but disconnects a

nd removes in a couple of seconds.

I'm looking for something a bit smaller that way I hopefully don't have to remove it at all. I'm sure that sounds pretty good though. That has an amp built in?

I have had this in my Tacoma under the drivers seat for 8 years. I'm very happy with it.

I have a Kicker 11HS8 8" Hideaway Powered 150 Watt Subwoofer in my latest C6 and have been happy with it. Easy to wire in though a little time consuming.

^^ I had something similar, $100 amazon special, sure won't give you a massage & untie your shoelaces, but rounded it out nicely.
