## Description

The RW8CA is an all in one solution to give you great sounding bass in your vehicle without taking up a ton of space. This sub enclosure is only 2.7" thick so that it can easily fit under your seat. The amplifier is built in, so installation and wiring is easy and clean. We wanted to truly make installation a breeze so we designed this unit with the user in mind from start to finish. We added high level inputs so you don't need a remote wire from your receiver to trigger the unit on and off. The smart circuit will sense that an audio signal is present and turn on your radio and a signal is present. When you turn off your music signal the amplifier built into this subwoofer system will automatically turn itself off. Using the high level input is also the fastest and easiest way to install an aftermarket amp subwoofer combination since you do not have to remove the receiver. You simply use the high level input and wire it to one of your speakers. Another thing we did to make installation a breeze is we put all the inputs and outputs on one side. This makes wiring neater and easier. Our competitors models are more challenging to install. The RW8CA has 600 watts of peak power and 150 watts RMS. This model is CEA-2006 compliant which means the ratings are approved by a 3rd party so you can be 100% sure that this item will produce the power it says it will. This is one of the only slim underseat subs on the market that is CEA compliant. Do not get fooled by other brands who write bogus power ratings that do not comply with any industry standard. Even if another unit says 2000 watts on it, ours is better and louder. If you are not happy with any Rockville product we will take it back within 30 days of when you receive it and refund you. We know our our products will satisfy you. This has amazing controls so you can tweak the sound to your liking. It has a level control for the volume, a subsonic filter to filter out the really low frequencies that the human ear can not hear. This also has a low pass crossover filter, phase control, and bass boost.

Review: El precio y la calidad lo son todo - Para lo que lo queria, te le da muy buen toque a tu musica ayuda a que parezca un sonido premium de agencia, no es para ir reventando ventanas, es para que la musica se escuche bien con bajeo, justo lo necesario, me llego antes de lo esperado, todo muy bien empaquetado, la instalacion me fue super sencilla y muy discreto abajo del asiento sin necesidad de cajones estorbosos en la cajuela, a mi parecer muy buen producto

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The good stuff
*by J***S on 26 August 2020*

I like the sound

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ sounds solid and punchy,easy to install..great value for the money
*by T***. on 9 April 2020*

hello...i have a jeep jk sport...basic as could be... I really enjoy music and as time went on I wished I bought an "upgraded" jeep with premium sound. Well I up graded all 4 speakers 2 in sound bar and 2 in lower dash..that made a difference but not "bumping" as I would like... I would crank up a song I loved and it sound good...but loud-if that makes sense-..so I searched amazon for a while and decided to buy this amplified subwoofer, mainly because I saw others who owned Jeeps bought this and was happy. So I purchased this subwoofer and a separate amp install kit that had long power wire,weatherproof fuse,eyelets,zip ties ect....found that here on amazon...so this amp arrived, and what do you know?! Q20 happened...now I have plenty of time to install this amp...using the wires from the install kit i ordered separate,...I searched for a perfect spot to install this amp////thinking i could mount under the front seats..... it didn't fit...I could have mounted it to the rear door as seen in pics on this product description, but i already have rear view camera wires there...I could have mounted anywhere in the jeep with the provided mounts, but I did not want to drill or screw holes in my jeep...so I found simply laying it behind drivers seat (i have 2 door jeep) was perfect...yep just kind of sits there on an angle and doesn't slide around...I ran power wire and "switched" hot wire to the amp, I used "high input" supplied wires due to the ease of accessing the left/tight speaker outputs from the right roll bar under foam protecting,,,I found wire colors on google...very easy.... I found a great ground on the side if the center console....inch's away from the amp...I removed both securing bolts, slid ground up behind console so the eyelet was directly on console mounting bracket and lowered console back down and re-secured factory bolt.....no holes drilled!!! then the control switch was super easy...I ran that up under roll bar cover down the side, out by drivers sun visor and mounted control switch above rear view mirror....I did secure that into the plastic molding....no holes drilled into the vehicle body!...once installed and a few moments of tweaking....I test drove the jeep with the amp on and was very impressed! I am very happy with the "remote" to control bass output...and location I placed it... now songs sound loud without being "loud" and the bass music can be felt! vibrates the jeeps floor boards! I listen to Sirius Lithium, Ozzy's Boneyard, Pop Rock's, Hit's One, Rush, Stone Temple Pilots, SoundGarden, ect...just to give you an idea of types of music....the bass addition makes music sounds full complete loud warm and rich! If you are looking for as I just described, this is a great choice..... if you want to be the guy that goes thump thump with lousy distortion and want to be heard blocks away, this is too good for you... this is an affordable quality good looking full rich sounding bass that can be adjusted per song as needed with the supplied wired remote switch....easy to install....took me 3 hours because I wanted it perfect looking- I tie strapped and cloth taped all wires to give a minimal intrusive look...If i had to do it in a rush it could have taken me an hour....and the best part...besides looking good and sounding good....there is no engine noise or whining through this bass system.. very nice...
