Rockville SS8P 8" Powered Under-Seat Car Subwoofer with RWK10 Amp Kit

I’ve just used my sub for a week straight in our smaller-sized toy hauler (camper that can accommodate a vehicle or motorcycles inside) while we were camping. After some time balancing out all the gain controls and bass boost levels I’m happy with what it adds to the listening experience. The original set-up had four 4” coaxials in the ceiling only, with a very thin sound. Adding the sub has helped a ton but it’s not an application for very high volume, bass heavy music, at least the way it’s currently crossed-over for those 4” speakers. It does sound good at sound levels where you’re not having conversation anymore which is more than adequate for me. I liked the install kit it came with (full disclosure- I used to own a couple car stereo stores and I specialized in installation so I might have a leg up on most people) and the mounting system they included is solid although it adds to the footprint of the sub. It’s cast aluminum! Damn! Solid and heavy like it should be. Everything very clear and well placed. I’m happy with my purchase!

Small little unit with a good punch! Recommend

Sounds good for the subswoofer .

Bought this for my 2nd gen tacoma and was happy to find out it fits under the drivers seat. The bass is not ear and door rattling, but enough to have a good quality sound. Never installed one of these but found it relatively easy on my aftermarket head unit from kenwood. Dont be overwhelmed by the amount of cords. I recommend looking up the user manual for your head unit and see which wire is your remote turn on and which rcas correspond with subwoofers. The install is as easy as running a wire from the battery, through the firewall, to the subwoofer. Remove the head unit and plug in your RCA cables, then tap into the remote turn on (whether through a splice or t tap adapter). Run all the cables to the subwoofer and ground it through the seat bolt / chassis. Took me less than an hour. For the money, i have no idea why i didnt do this sooner. Nice crisp, rich, deep bass. If you want to rattle the block, find something else.

This little sub sounds absolutely fantastic for the size and low price. I couldn't be more pleased with it! I installed it in an '88 Toyota pickup Xtra Cab that had an existing low-end JVC head unit running four equally cheap speakers. The setup sounded as you'd expect... not great, even with the built-in13-band eq tweaked as good as I could get it. Bass response was lousy. One huge issue with the setup was a horrible ~150 Hz resonance in the cavities in the back of the cab where the rear 6.5" speakers were installed. I cut that frequency in the eq, which helped tremendously, but the problem remained. I thought about installing some baffles and acoustic mat in there, but figured I'd get the sub in first and see if I could fix it with proper crossover settings. One benefit of small subs is that they can reproduce higher frequencies than larger subs. So I was hopeful I could crank up the sub's LPF and let it handle that troublesome 150 Hz, and set the HPF on the rear speakers above it. I'd planned to install the sub under one of the seats, but protrusions in the floorboard on both sides prevented that. I ended up installing it on the floor behind the driver's seat, close to the back wall of the cab. Wiring was straightforward. I removed the seats to make things easier, and allow me to lift the carpet in order to run the cable for the remote to the center console. I ran the wiring and connected it to the sub outputs on the head unit. It powered right up with the head unit and started thumping with the music! After adjusting the crossovers and eq on the head unit, and tweaking the adjustments on the sub, the system sounded absolutely amazing. I ended up turning the LPF on the sub to its maximum setting, and set the HPF on the rear speakers equally high. The annoying resonance was completely eliminated! I tested the system with several different types of music, including hard rock with tight kick drums, and rap with super-low bass lines, and was just thrilled across the board with the performance of this little, unobtrusive sub. 10/10, would buy again! In fact, I'm about to take some measurements on my '86 Buick Grand National, and if it will fit under the seat, I'm gonna grab another one!
