Classic rock music: Sound is great, it almost sounds like the guitars/bass guitars are playing in the vehicle with me. I recommend turning the bass lower for classic rock, but it provides a nice deep background.
Pop/Alternative: Requires some tweaking between songs sometimes. Some songs sound great, others will shake the sub too much and drown out other noise. Overall, still sounds pretty good.
Rap: This is mainly what I listen to while driving. I've noticed that it's real hit or miss depending on the frequency of bass in the song. About 75% of music sounds great, without that BUMP that other subs can give. Some songs will try to bump really hard, and this sub can't take a huge peak amount of bass, it's more for RMS bass playing steady. I like to actually hear music, and this adds a new dimension to rap without being obnoxious.
Electronic: This sub really shines playing most electronic music, as it plays a nice steady bass instead of bumping like some rap music beats. Really sounds good, even turned up pretty high on the bass.
Country: I hate country. I won't even test it out for one song for this review.
Overall, I'd recommend this sub setup for any vehicle, not just for a truck with a small space. If you like steady bass, and not thumping/bumping/shaking bass, this is the one for you. For the price, you won't beat it. I got this fully installed in my truck for about $50, so all together about $200 total. It looks great with the carpeting, and I'm definitely satisfied with my purchase.
I ran 4 gauge power wire from battery to distribution block with 2x 8 gauge wires exiting to the speaker and sub amps + proper grounding to chassis. I put Kenwood component set in front doors and coaxials in rear doors.
Even with taking it easy with the soundstream 4 channel amp, the door speakers are almost too loud for this low power subwoofer. Ideally we would have gone with a 12" subwoofer with about 400-600 watts rms but we didnt want to sacrifice much of her cargo space.
Though this subwoofer cannot hit the lowest notes in electronic music (below 35Hz), it covers the low range well foor most music types. Country and rock especially sound good with the punchy and responsive mtx 8" sub. It does hit hard enough to feel the vibrations.
Overall we are very pleased because it helped us save cargo space while putting out enough bass to take the load off the door speakers (which we have crossed over highpass at 80Hz) and fill in those lower bass notes. The built in amp seems to have the right amount of power to drive the woofer without any over extension or distortion.
If you like really deep and loud bass, and have space for a larger subwoofer setup, this is not the product for you. However, if space is important and you are satisfied with a sub to fill in lower notes without being loud with big vibrations, this sub will do the trick and reproduce punchy and accurate bass.
I took one star away for the lack of volume this sub can achieve and the shape of the enclosure. Though the rounded top looks good, that and the angled front and back make for fewer positioning options. I did manage to get this placed verically in the back corner of her SUV, but it wasn't easy and required the use of some ratcheted straps I had. The straps that came with the sub would work for flat floor mounting to keep it from rolling but a horizontal orientation takes up more floor space than we prefer.
Small update....after a few days out on the water and probably 30 hours of nonstop play at high volume....this little thing jams country and rock really well. Just not made for bass heads. I am upping my previous review 1 more star as it has held up well, and I got many compliments on my system with it.
Edit....After another season of beating this thing mercilously...it still jams hard. Great Buy!
The best powered 8-inch system in the market is the JL Audio w3 microsub+. Don't look any further. You're welcome.
