23:53 - Quick overview
The sub is making my phone video recorder peak and that's why it makes that buzzing noise sometimes, in person you don't hear that noise, only over recordings you will hear that.
Something to take note of is that this sub does not sound loud from the outside of the vehicle even if you open the boot. if you like to play music loud with your boot open and shake the place down then this isn't the sub for you.
Inside the car this sub sounds like a beast, it adds a lot of bass which you can control with the remote and it sounds amazing which is why I was surprised that when I got out the car I could barely hear it lol. ( in my opinion that is a good thing cause at least the whole world wont hear my music )
In conclusion if you have a small car like a hatch back I highly recommend this subwoofer.
I bought the Subwoofer on Amazon: Alpine SWE-815
My Car: 2010 VW Polo 1.6 TDI ( 150bhp )

    Sorry but the blue wire is the remote turn on it should be attached behind the radio there will be a corresponding wire especially that you have an aftermarket head unit , it is very important because when you turn your radio off your sub will still be on if you have the key on and when you driving with the radio off you might get road noise , otherwise good video 👍

    I personally never drive with the radio off so that wouldnt be a bad thing for me to just connected the remote wire to ignition power source?

    Yes, the light is on. It means there is no problem with the connection, right? However, I never turned the controls on or off. I'll try this and let you know if it responds.

    I've got a small car so I didn't want something too big, I also wanted an active sub so that everything is in the one box so it looks neat and clean and I also wanted to be able to take it out easily if I needed more space in the boot the carry something. So I watched a few videos about it and felt like it would be perfect for me and it didn't seem too hard to install so I went with it and I'm still loving it.

    Remoute cabel 😂 This is control from the radio so that the subwoofer only works when the radio is on. Or you can jumper from "+" to the remoute, and it will be as you did. Only the battery will discharge.

    Hi. Nice video. I dont have rca in my radio and I think I make mistake. I connect signal to front speaker but sub not work is no sound 😔 maybe you can help. And how many volts must be in this ignition blue cable?

    There is an rca cable included with the subwoofer. ( it has rca on one side and the other side is stripped ) You have to splice the stripped end into your rear speakers and then you can plug the other end with the male rca cables into the subwoofer. You need 12v for the blue cable, you can either tap the blue cable into your fuse box or you can splice the blue cable into another wire that already has a 12v ( make sure its a wire that gets power only when you turn on your ignition ) And double check that you have a good grounds connection.

    Hello. I had the same product installed on my vehicle yesterday. However, it is so ineffective that the blowers barely move at all. It's like there is no sub. What would be the reason? By the way the sub is working. Don't think it doesn't work at all. But vaguely. And no 12v power was entered into the system. I watched.

    You'll definitely need it to be connected to a 12v power source for it to work correctly. Also it's a very small sub so it's not going to be super loud and booming. But that being said it should still be noticeable. When you turn the sub on and off with the remote do you hear any difference in the bass ?

    @@RCS_716 Thanks for responding. Yes, I don't have high expectations. However, in your video the bellows are visibly moving. When I hold it, I get vibration, but it's as loud as a simple speaker. It's like it doesn't have any bass power. The lights of the controls are on, but the person who made the connection set both buttons to maximum and said that this is the maximum power it gives. I never touched the controls. Would you like me to try?

    Yes, if its the same remote as mine then set the gain to "max" and set the LP filter to "50hz" and put the phase switch to "norm" What I'll do is I'll make a shorts video at some point tomorrow and I'll show how much my sub is moving while playing a certain song, then you can play the same song on yours and see if yours moves as much as mine is moving That way we'll know if something is wrong

    Also, try switching between min and max gain on the remote to see if there is a noticeable difference between the two of them because min gain essentially turns off the sub
