Small Part, Huge Upgrade!
Luke from Biloxi, MS on 1/24/2019
Works great! Large gain range, soft detented knob rotation, simple classy design. Awkward mounting interface, though. The back of the unit is wide open and the screw mount brackets are 90° off. I made a template to cut my center console and used L-brackets from the inside to mount it. All in all I'm happy with it. Fun evening project with a great result!I
Pros: Clean, functional unit allowing quick bass tuning.
Cons: Mounting may be difficult or impossible in various applications.

Great remote.
Crutchfield customer from Philadelphia, PA on 1/21/2019
This remote is so useful, I don't have to go into my radio settings to adjust the bass per song anymore... just tune the dial per song and enjoy as little or as much power from your subwoofers as you want!!
Pros: No need to adjust amp or radio settings per song anymore. Just tune the dial, fast easy and simple.
Cons: A little awkward to mount if you're going for a factory look. Aside from that no complaints. Every car is designed differently, my install is on a sn95 mustang.

A "Must Have" For Big Bass
Scott from Florida on 6/23/2017
If you're running big bass then you need a means to adjust the level easily without going into your head units settings. This little knob allows you to do just that. As others have noted it would be nice to be able to mount it from behind a panel so only the knob protrudes. I'm not sure why it's not included with the Kicker amp because in my opinion it is a must have. There are times I don't want the full capability of two twelve's but I also want to be able to turn it up to "holy crap" level at the twist of a knob.
Pros: Works great. Very convenient adjustment of bass level.
Cons: I would like more mounting options. Should be included with amp.

Kicker 43CXARC Remote Control
Brent from Cayce, SC on 2/19/2017
Exactly what I needed to control my sub while in the drivers seat and not messing with the sound coming from my Jeep's factory speakers. Took 5 minutes to run the wire under the carpet and used 3M double sided tape to attach to dashboard.

MUST HAVE!
Trinity from Albertville, AL on 11/6/2016
If you are gonna run a kicker amp this is a must have! Some songs don't have a high enough bass or vise versa so with the power knob you can easily adjust it to where you need it. Plus who wants to keep getting out and opening the trunk to adjust the power.
Pros: Easy power adjust for what ever type of music you listen to.
Cons: Kinda aggravating to mount if you want it in a tight spot.

Works as expected
Chris from Columbus, Oh on 9/24/2016
This is a good product, It does exactly what it says and works well.
Pros: Works as expected, price
Cons: I don't like the way this mounts. Kicker doesn't give you too many options for hiding this or mounting on anything but a flat surface. You'll have to get creative if you have a tough spot.

You Need This For Your Subs
Paul David from San Antonio, TX on 4/27/2016
Works great with the Kicker Amp running the subs in my truck. If you're going to have subs in your vehicle, do yourself a favor and add this to your setup. No two songs are mixed alike. The bass levels vary tremendously depending on what song you're listening to. This remote control for your sub amp makes adjusting your bass levels as easy as turning a knob up and down. It is well worth the minimal cost to have this feature with your subs.
Pros: It does what it's supposed to do.
Cons: None.

Bass control knob
Eric from Dearborn, MI on 4/6/2016
I bought this bass control knob because I was sick of constantly going into my trunk and adjusting the gain on my amplifier to achieve that perfect spot. Once I installed the wired remote, I could adjust the amount of bass directly from my drivers seat. It was a perfect purchase and I highly recommend it.
Pros: Can control the bass from your subwoofer directly. Easy to install. Great price.
Cons: None.
