I put this sub in the stock center console location on a 2002 Jeep Wrangler. I powered it with a Kenwood 150W RMS amp. I wanted the stealth appearance of the stock location and also some good low end punch. For the size of this sub, I was very satisfied. When properly powered, this sub produces a tight kick to complement the very small speakers located in the stock locations on the Jeep. The sub can produce a loud volume as well, which is greatly needed in a open top Jeep.

When the OEM subwoofer on my 2002 Z3 went south (due to age, and a poor design), it was time to replace it. In 2009, the OEM subwoofer was discovered to no longer be manufactured. The choice then went to something eating up what little space there is in the trunk, or an attempt to find a replacement for the 6″ sub that BMW put into their Z’s. Kicker’s CVT654 came as close as anything on the market, and at a very decent price.
The caveat is that you are attempting to place a 6-1/2″ speaker into a 6″ opening. The fix? Trim down 1/4″ from each side. Using a grinder, or dremel with hard grinding wheel, and some patience, and you can get this beauty to fit snuggly and correctly into the sub box.
If you have the Harmon-Kardon amp system in your Z3, be sure to purchase the 4-ohm version of this speaker.
When properly installed (and sealed), this speaker makes not only a workable replacement, but one that offers a bit more punch than the original, and will allow you to resume regular use of your stock HK system.
Highly recommended.

I was looking for a good replacement for my blown subwoofer for my 01 Jeep that wasn’t too pricey. I found it with this Kicker CompVT 08CVT654 6.5-Inch 4-Ohm 165mm SVC Subwoofer. It has a great sound for the size & price. It was easy to attach the wires with NO soldering required. It fit the small center console of my Jeep. I would buy this product again and from this retailer.

It’ Small enough for the cab of a Small Truck,and performs Well, for it’s small size. It’s not going to “Rock The hood”, But it will “Rock the Truck” It’s just enough.

Good bass and sound out of this little sub. Has plenty of punch for my GMC pickup. I am just running an old cheap 250 watt amp in a box like the direction suggest, which is very small. It is enough bass for me but if you want to rattle your vehicle apart you might want a bigger sub and/or more amp.
