SS8P Bundle: 400-Watt 8 in Slim Under-Seat Active Powered Car/Truck Subwoofer, RWK10 10 Gauge Amp Installation Kit with ANL Fuse Holder and 100% Copper RCA Cable, 2-Items

Another cliche ‘I don’t write reviews’ post here... but I am very impressed with all aspects of this subwoofer! Most everything is already covered in other reviews but I wanted to give some thanks to Rockville for this design! In another life I loved having worked on cars, having 2x12s in the trunk, nothing was left stock. I consider myself an audio and car enthusiast, but not a pro by any means. I like car modifications to fit as close to OEM as possible. I also like to have audio equipment sound true, flat / accurate with its reproduction. This enclosure is for specifically under-seat applications. You will not be happy with it in the trunk. - Build quality is top notch - solid metal enclosure will break your toe if you’re not careful. No rattles or cheap-feeling at all. All connections and adjustments are on one side, good idea. - Small size will fit *most* under-seat locations. Note: 2015 Hyundai Sonata 2.0 drivers seat has a plastic tray that will hold it, but it is tight. Does not fit ‘on the floor’ under the seat due to a/c duct and gear motor. So the enclosure sticks forward just an inch from the front of the seat towards your legs, but does not interfere or touch. In the seats lowest position it will squish the enclosure, but send vibrations straight to your tushie for an amazing concert-like experience. -10ga Amp Kit was perfect. Quality cables and wires included. You will need a few extra zip ties of your own. I used the ‘soft auto on’ and hi-input connections so I only needed four wires: power, ground, left and right. -Subwoofer gain level remote knob is helpful to route to the dash so you don’t have to keep adjusting the gain on the subwoofer itself. -Power is more than adequate for under-seat locations. Note: Sub is far too quiet when located in the trunk, but it is not designed for that. I tried it in the trunk but needed to move it back to under the seat. -Sound quality is very impressive for a tiny 8” enclosure. You cannot even tell a sub is installed from outside the car (you won’t p*ss off your neighbors). On stock head unit (4x door speakers, 2x tweeters in the dash. Bass +3, mid +2, High +3) Subwoofer bass boost on zero, LPF at ~60hz, gain at 60% the lows are thick and rich, kick drums hit hard. Rock, metal, country - sounds great. Hip hop or techno is average, to above average, because of the ultra low kick and sub hits... there are just a few frequencies that are missing but that could be due to my car head unit eq. Overall, great product! With new JVC CS-J620 door speakers and this sub, my anemic stock car stereo has become fantastic!

This little sub is awesome. Adds a ton of sound that is missing from factory systems. Easily hooked up through higher power since I have the factory head unit. Sounds great in the cab of the truck and can even hear it a little outside of it. Fit perfectly behind the seat. I even think this unit sounds better than the kicker hideaway.

I ordered the 8" ss8p with the wiring kit since it would come all at once. However I only received the speaker. A few days later, I got the wiring kit separate. Installed the speaker the day I got it after a quick run to get a wiring kit. Kinda sucked but nothing too crazy. Upon first inspection, the speaker felt robust in build quality and dense. Really felt like a quality product. I installed this onto my 2015 smart car fortwo with the base two speaker system. The two speakers had sounded horrible and broke so I put in some aftermarket pioneer 6.5" full range speakers and they sounded much more full and clear. However, the bass was lacking incredibly. In addition, the smart car has tons of engine bass and vibrations that any bass I could hear while stationary with the door speakers got drowned out with road noise and such. So I decided to get this small compact sub to slide behind the drivers seat. It fit perfectly. After installing and some tuning, this thing sounds amazing for the small size. Sure it won't blow you away of shake mirrors too much, but it is exponentially better than what door speakers and produce. I must say however, that it isn't all perfect. Some things I noticed was that the bass knob that comes with it is basically useless at high volume. And that brings me to my other point, this sub no longer increases in power after a certain volume. Assuming I've got the gain up high and the bass knob at like halfway, once I turn up my headunit over 22 volume, the door speakers begin to get louder than the bass. My door speakers begin to distort at around 26 volume so basically there's a sweet spot for this sub. Also, keep this thing well ventilated. I've got a small car with the engine right behind me and a relatively weak ac system. Pair that with 100 degree days and some music and this thing WILL get hot. I've got it behind my seat in an area where ventilation is pretty bad so I understand, but its gone into protection mode two or three times already. Though it's only done that when I've idled for like 20 mins listening to music. If this is under a seat beside an air vent you'll have no shutting-off issues like I did. I guess it's a pretty great package for like 110 dollars. If your car has no low end, this will most definitely be an improvement. Think of this as a slightly better premium factory bose system level of bass in a car. It's there for sure, but its not two 12". Perfect for me though.

AMAZING SOUDND quality for a reasonable price. Rockville's customer service representatives are passionate and professional. Thanks for the quick support and a great product.

U set it up u get flat spots u reset it still just dosent quite get there. It took 3 weeks to receive it as it seems the courier service lost it for 2 weeks. Over all my experience with product was disappointing
