Just got a little subwoofer for the new car (Prius V) that is worth
telling about. It is the Powerbass BTA8, an 8 inch woofer in a nice
carpeted enclosure with amp and connections.

The concept is a new car with upgrade JBL speaker system, but is
anemic in the bass.
I can vouch for that approach being a vast improvement in car audio sound quality, and for one's aural health.
With regular, even high quality, car speakers, there is usually just totally inadequate bass output. And in order to hear some bass the listening level is ofetn cranked higher than is good for you.
Even a small sub can fill things out nand/or distortion from amp or drivers.
This is the one I got, which is active, very low profile, and can run either from speaker lines or from a dedicated car-stereo amp sub output.

Thanks for this. The Kenwood sub woofer is now bought and installed under my passenger seat. Much better car listening experience. The Kenwood remote control can vary the low pass from 50 Hz to 125 Hz and has gain control to the sub. For checking mixes without the sub, one can use the remote control to turn down the sub gain, or alternately, to avoid the low pass altogether, one can switch off the sub out from the control unit itself (Alpine CD player).
