I looked at those for a bit, couldn't find one to fit under the seat.
That's where I was looking to put it.
Can it be used with sound bars?

As long as you have some RCA outputs on your sound bar. All you have to do is send this thing a signal and power it up. It will filter out all the high frequencies and amplify the lows. Just have to find a place to put it.
I think I have two of those hanging off the end of it. I'm not in the same state where my P5 is but when I'm back there in a week or so I'll check. If it does, I'll have more questions for you. ;) Thanks trigger.

The more air the better. That's why I have multiple vents in the toolbox.
Vents

Some songs can rattle the box pretty hard. Considering sound insulation, maybe someday.

This one is 150 watts, but I see them up to 6000 watts. What criteria determines appropriate wattage?

Will do, my friend ( who does welding on my p500) wants me to wait for his friend who is "top" welder who works for military , kinda on call, they fly him with head covered to places where he welds for them different stuff, so will see how it will turns out.
I think I can do it myself, but he just like Overkill's

You're looking for a loaded, powered subwoofer. Loaded, meaning the speaker has been installed in the box already. Powered meaning it has its own onboard amplifier. The main criteria you're looking at is size. You need to have an idea where you're going to put it.
