  • Awesome subwoofer!
First things first; The amp has a 40 amp fuse, so it matches up with the advertised numbers, and is capable of pushing over 400 watts rms. Whether or not it does, I don't know. The high level inputs are auto detecting, so if hooked up this method, you will not need a remote wire. The box has shades of blue in the carpet in direct light, can't be seen in the pictures, but I actually like it more than just black. Subwoofer seems very well constructed and is a beautiful looking sub. Now for the good stuff: For $109 this thing can't be beat! Ordered it on a whim, looking to add a little extra bass to my jeep commander with the Boston Acoustics system. It has a factory 7 channel amp in the rear with two low pass channels to the front bass drivers, so installing this subwoofer was a breeze. Just had to run some 10 Guage wire to the back from the battery under the trim and used some crimping wire tappers into the front bass driver outs from the amp into the included high level input on the amp. I didn't have to find a switching power source for the remote because the built in amp detects when there is power to the high level inputs and controls the amp power accordingly. After getting everything hooked up, I fired it up and started throwing a variety of different genres at this little sub, just to find its strong and weak points. Straight out of the box this sub sounded pretty decent, i have always been used to a 1200w rms labyrinth ported 12" DVC running at 1 ohm on 1000w rms class d monoblock, and I may have had my expectations set a little too high because of that, but for the size of the box and how much I paid, this little sub impressed me. It favors the mid and high frequency bass, and kind of drops out a bit in the lower frequencies, but that is to be expected out of such a small sealed box. So I let this little sub jam out for a few days, playing everything from hard rock, to country, to dubstep, to hip hop. All of which play nicely with this subwoofer, some more then others but all around good, I was pretty satisfied with the performance for the price I paid. It wasn't until after about 5 days of heavy playing that this subwoofer REALLY came alive and started to impress me. From the factory this sub is very very stiff, almost too stiff, barely moveable by pushing on it with a few fingers. But after 5 days of loud constant music, the spiders have loosened up alot. It feels like a broken in subwoofer now, and boy does it show in the sound. As its been breaking in and loosening up, this subwoofer has easily doubled in volume and output since the first day I installed it. By far the most dramatic improvement I've ever heard in a subwoofer from simply breaking in. I don't know if it is due to just the subwoofer getting looser or some inner workings of the amplifier that made such a huge difference, but whatever it is, it's great. This is easily the best $109 I've ever spent on any car audio related product, it truly sounds awesome for what you pay, in my eyes I don't think there is a better sub out there that is amplified and in a slim box. The only thing that is still up in the air is the life span of this sub, but I'm sure it will last a very long time. If you're on the fence about this subwoofer, don't be, pull the trigger on it, you won't be disappointed. ... show more

  • JUST BUY IT
For the price this is an unbeatable deal. Install, just 4 wires for the speakers. 2 for power. And 1 for the remote. The hardest part was getting to the wires i needed in my car. After a day or 2 of it breaking in now it sounds even better.

  • Packs a punch
I moved to a pickup truck and had an old rockford fosgate powered 12" I loved but it wouldn't fit under or behind the seats in my truck. I didn't want to spend a ton to just add the little bass I was looking for, but didn't want cheap and bad sounding either. After checking out reviews online for this I decided to give it a try. This thing sounds and performs way better than I expected it to. It's not as punchy on the kicks as the rockford was, but it handles way more frequencies which gives it a nice full sound. Definitely happy with it and hope it lasts for a long time. ... show more

  • Sounds great, overheats constantly
This is the 2nd subwoofer I've received from Rockville. The first one I received had a faulty amp in which it would overheat. I contacted Rockville and filed a warranty claim, but i had to pay for the shipping for this sub that was defective which I didnt feel was fair. Im now on my 2nd replacement subwoofer, and it has the same issue, it overheats after 20 minutes of use at half volume. Im almost positive the amps in the subwoofers are not made that great. They shouldnt be overheating this quickly, especially at half the volume and half the hertz. ... show more

  • Great Amplified Sub.
I purchased this product January 22, 2017, and it has been a great unit. I installed it with a Scosche 1200 watt amplifier/subwoofer kit you would buy at Walmart and have had no problems with it. It is installed in a diesel pickup with dual batteries and has all the power it needs. I let the subwoofer break-in for over a week, I turned the gain up just until the woofer started to tremble and probably put over 24 hours collectively into the break-in period. I have the gain turned to about half (after break-in) and it produces some extremely impressive bass for its size in my opinion. I have had no overheating problems as some other reviews elude. My install sandwiched the amplified sub between the back seat and the back of the cab and there is very little ventilation, yet it does fine. If you have a head unit that has bass boost and frequency (Hz) options only CHOOSE ONE to be active at one time (bass boost on but Hz is off, etc). Overall, I think this is a great unit when space is premium and I believe this amplified sub is an extremely great price for what you receive. Just install it correctly, give it the power it needs and most importantly let it have time to break in. ... show more
