Is this bundle worth it over buying the box and sub separately?

If you want a matched 8-inch vented setup without measuring and cutting, the bundle saves time. Compare the bundle price to the NE81P box plus a Kicker 50CWCD84 bought alone before deciding.

How much power do I need to run it?

A mono amp rated around 200 watts RMS at 2 or 4 ohms, matching the Kicker's voice coil, is enough. The box is rated 100-200 watts RMS, so a 300-watt amp is fine if gain is set conservatively.

Will it fit in a small hatchback or truck cab?

At 15.25 inches deep, 15 inches wide and 11.5 inches tall, it fits many hatchbacks, trunks and extended-cab trucks. Measure your space first, since the depth is the tightest dimension.

Does the Kicker sub drop right into the NVX box?

The box cutout is 7-3/8 inches and mounting depth is 8-5/8 inches, which clears the Kicker's 6-15/16-inch cutout and 4-3/16-inch top-mount depth. Expect to drill new screw holes for the Kicker's bolt pattern.

How deep does the bass go?

The box is tuned to 38 Hz and the system response is listed from 30 Hz, so expect strong output in the 40-60 Hz range and roll-off below 30 Hz. It is not a sub for pipe-organ or heavy decaf bass.

When is the best time to buy?

Car audio bundles tend to dip during holiday sales and end-of-season clearances. Set a price alert and compare against the recent range rather than buying at first sight.

Our take on the NVX NE81P with Kicker 50CWCD84 Bundle

This is a bundle pairing NVX's NE81P single 8-inch vented enclosure with a Kicker 50CWCD84 8-inch subwoofer. The box is tuned to 38 Hz, measures 15.25 x 15 x 11.5 inches, and handles 100-200 watts RMS, while the Kicker sub is rated 200 watts RMS and 400 peak with 83.6 dB sensitivity. It suits a compact car or truck where space is tight and you want a modest bass upgrade without a big amp. No current price was supplied for this bundle, so check the latest listing against its recent range before buying.
