Bought as a Christmas gift for my wife's car. She loves her bass and the OEM radio just didn't have enough kick for her. This made a night and day difference in the sound quality! Much better now!

This thing is awesome once you get it working, I'm a first time installer and had to tinker for about a week to get everything working. It's great size that fits in the back of my jeep renegade long ways so the speaker is facing towards the passenger side and fits perfectly. The sound and output are incredible and more than meet my deep bass sound wishes... It's not gonna rattle windows but other cars will hear you in parking lots and people will hear you in quiet neighborhoods. If you're looking for an easy install and something that will scratch your bass itch but not rattle your car to pieces and will fit into your small SUV or car or truck with space to spare then this is absolutely what you're looking for.

I bought this one year ago for an Obs Ford I was putting back together and didn’t want to spend a lot on a system. The sub still functions just like it did out of the package and the quality of sound it produces surpasses my expectations. Very reasonable price. Lots of play time driving this truck around including Cruising the Coast and no issues. I have had other powered subs and they wouldn’t fit behind the seat of my truck and they didn’t perform as well either. Highly recommend Rockville products. Thanks.

***SEE UPDATES FURTHER DOWN REGARDING THE FIX FOR THERMAL BREAKER ISSUE***This sub sounds good for the money, it's not quite my JL system in one of my other cars but it's pretty darn close. I bought this after I helped install one in my buddy pathfinder and was impressed with its sound quality.Unfortunately both his and mine are having an issue where they are tripping an internal thermal breaker on the amp because the amp gets too hot. There is no cooling on the amp board as it's internal to the sealed box and there are no heat sinks on the outside to shed the heat. It's unfortunate because otherwise, this sub is excellent. I don't think sending it back for a replacement would make a difference because it's obviously a design issue with how they laid out the board and the lack of cooling.I might try adding some surface mount heat sinks to the outside face of the amp board to see if that'll help.1st UPDATE - 10.17.2022:I solved the overheating issue super easily.First I inspected the situation, I took the amp out of the box and was surprised to see that the amp is in its own compartment, meaning they sealed the sub enclosure internally between the electronics and the woofer. This means the amp side of the box can easily be vented, I drilled (3) 3/4" holes at the top and bottom of the box.The heat generated from the amp creates a natural convection that draws cooler air in the bottom and exhausts the hot air out the top. Since I've done this it hasn't overheated once. Now if you wanted to go one step further it wouldn't be hard to add a computer case fan to the intake or exhaust hole to power vent the space.Not sure why Rockville didn't provide venting for this side of the box, it seems like an oversight. The amp has two MASSIVE heat sinks on it but all that does is heat up the space inside the box as its not vented so the heat can't escape. Drilled the holes and Voila.I've added a star to my review as they should've vented it from the factory but it's an easy fix and the sub still sounds great.2nd UPDATE - 8.8.2023:Since venting the amplifier side of the box I have not had a single case where it tripped its thermal breaker/protection mode. So safe to say it's fixed, if you buy this sub you really ought to do this mod.

Very disappointed in this products despite the reviews! Buyer beware NOT all reviews are for this 10" speaker. I hooked it up correctly and it was very staticky and sound of the bass was not clear. I purchased a in box kicker speaker with built in amp and it worked wonderfully! The sound of the bass was clear and I also bought a pioneer 10" in slim box and it worked fine. So my aftermarket stereo was NOT the problem.....it was this Rockville product....I returned it for a refund and I was very disappointed that I wasted my time.

It took a bit for the order to go through and then about a week for it to show up. Just installed it yesterday with a shosche line out converter. Gotta say I'm impressed. Sounds pretty good and pumps pretty good. Not as loud as I expected, however i mentioned i hooked it up with a line out converter which draws power from your back speakers to the amp. If I hooked it up the way the instructions show it would probably sound harder or if you had an aftermarket deck. But I definitely give it a 4 star! For the price of it I'm more then satisfied! Unfortunately it doesnt fit to well under my back seat in my 09 GMC Sierra ext cab. It sticks out a little because of that stupid hump in the middle under the back seat.

Really solid unit, and excellent value for the price. It gives my 08 Silverado the pump I have always been looking for and it fits nicely under the back seat. The built in amp has not overheated (which I read some people may have had a problem with), and it produces a decent sound. I listen to hard deep techno and this sounds fantastic, sounds great with rock and country too.

Put this in my extended cab ranger. Has a great sound for the price. Easy to install with a amp wiring kit. Bumps good for a 10". No competition sound but will greatly improve your sound quality in any vehical.

I bought the sub looking to enhance the bass in my car, I can say that I was very surprised at how well this performed, there is TONS of bass and this is definitely worth the money. Only problem I had when installing was that the amp had power but the sub wasn't moving, I took it apart and found that both possitive cables attached to the sub and amp were disconnected, after that it worked great, just something to check for :)
