MB Quart Discus 8 Inch 400W Shallow Mount 4 Ohm DVC Car Subwoofer

Easy to install and performs well in my 2005 4 runner v-6. Fits very well and sounds good. One installation tip: several internet videos show how to install the subwoofer of a generation four (includes the 2005) 4 runner. The videos instruct the installer to dismantle MUCH of the trim on the floor, interior sidewall, and even the right rear seatbelt. Many screws, panels, yanking and pulling! One video suggests a much easier way to swap out the rear sidewall subwoofer. I tried it, and it works like a CHARM! No screws, panels, carpet, or seatbelt to deal with. You simply cut out the grooved perimeter of the integral sidewall screen that guards the surface of the original subwoofer. Use a sharp, heavy duty utility knife and carefully work your knife around the outer groove of the screen. Take your time and don’t slip with the knife. With a few passes the entire screen will drop out of the rear sidewall. Trim up any ragged edges. The entire subwoofer can then be accessed easily. It will be staring you in the face. Carefully pull apart and unscrew the trim on the original subwoofer. Eventually, you will expose the six or so screws that hold the subwoofer in place. Unscrew the unit from its anchor points , pull it out gently and then disconnect the electrical connections. Note that the connections of the old subwoofer will not fit the unit I bought in this review. Most likely you will snip off the plastic fittings of the vehicle wiring, expose some bare wire and then connect the bare wire from the vehicle to the quick-connect fittings on the new subwoofer. Most likely you will have to drill a few new screw holes in the ring surrounding the new subwoofer to get a secure mount. This is easy to do. Connect all of the color coded wires in the correct terminals (See multiple videos on this; again, easy). Test to know if the subwoofer produces sound from your stereo. Once the unit is wired connected and screwed in place place a bead of clear silicone on the edge of the panel screen that you cut out and replace the screen in the sidewall. I let mine cure for 24 hours. If you’re a neat worker no one will ever notice (except for maybe your dog) that the screen had been cut. A fast worker can replace the subwoofer in probably 45 minutes of easy work. It took me about 1.5 hours, because I’m slow. Don’t be afraid to cut that screen panel. I learned this technique from a guy who posted his how-to video on the internet. His is a great solution to an otherwise significant PIA.

Amazing and cheap and fits anywhere.

Using it in a small sealed enclosure in a Silverado extended cab. Plays down to 40hz, no problems.

Be sure to turn your gain & EQ down. The glue on the voice coils will melt if you run them too hard for too long.

Relatively easy to install on 2005 4runner. There’s a video on YouTube that shows how to strip the cars wires to fit this woofer. There are a few ways to get the old speaker out. If you want absolutely no damage to the panel then complete disassembly is the way to go. Another way is to cut into the mesh covering with a sturdy utility knife but it won’t be pretty. The top and bottom screws are also hard to get to with powers tools due to the small window. I also found out that the panel does pry off with tabs from the main car. I needed a crow bar for that although one YouTube video a guy used a large sized flat head screwdriver. I can’t really comment on the quality of this speaker /subwoofer compared to others but it sounds similar to oem. Music sounds good and that old speaker rattle/noise is gone. Overall good purchase.

works great as a replacement sub in 2002 suburban. not very loud, but fills the sound out much better and it's better quality than the original sub. For its price at $65, it give it 5 stars.

Great little sub. Used it in the factory sub box in my 2011 Honda Odyssey with about 150 watts pushing it with an aftermarket amp and it sounds great. It’s a very small .3 cu ft enclosure. Big improvement over the factory bass.

Bought this cause I needed a shallow mount subwoofer to fit in a shallow box in a truck. Sub seems well made has good quality speaker push terminals. Sounds good for a shallow mount sub. Only 200 watts RMS but that's all I needed. Good quality subwoofer.

EDIT: it's July 2022 and I'm STILL loving this sub. Absolutely recommend it to anyone. I play a lot of dance music and I play it loud in my X5. Only because the system I have in (JL C2-600 and Memphis mid range, factory DSP amp) can handle it well. I don't even know if the sub enclosure I made is proper dimensions but I did put a decent bit of polyfibre inside to mimic a larger enclosure. Either way I have NO doubt how well this sub just pounds in my SUV. Just incredibly happy with result. Original: I've run external sub enclosures with high power 10* and 12" (Premiere Comp, Rockford Fosgate, JL) subs for past 25 years. They are amazing. Whats NOT amazing is loosing a lot of trunk space. My SUV has factory Sub enclosure hidden away but has two 6" DVC subs that were either underpowered from the factory amp, or just garbage. I gutted the enclosure and modified it to take a single 10" shallow mount, knowing full well I'd never get the same sound as a larger external sub enclosure in a trunk BUT I now have the convenience of a sub hidden away. After I installed and adjusted audio settings on amp and factory head unit, yes it sounds a LITTLE less impressive than the subs and sub enclosures I've run in the past but the impression is it sounds about 90% as good, but is a cleaner sub so my music actually sounds cleaner and fuller instead of just bassier. But most importantly, the sub and enclosure are now out of trunk, So extremely worth this purchase.

I fitted it on my LEXUS GX460 2015, as replacement of Mark Levinson subwoofer. You can connect it on the factory amplifier. It sounds better than factory sub. Just that you need minor trimming on the metal casing of the sub to fit in the factory subwoofer enclosure.

Was a little hesitant on buying this sub. Usually you get what you pay for. I have had many subs in the past all big name brands and this is almost comparable. Built a box just under 1 cubic foot so a little small but the sub hits hard. Remember to break the sub in..med volume and bass set low for the first week or so. I now have everything turned up and its sounding better and better each day. Overall very happy with the purchase would def buy another.

Very slim installation depth. Sounds great considering it's very cheap. The "discus" trim ring is pain to remove and install. Would buy again.
