Review: Compact Subwoofer with Big, Clean Bass - I installed the Rockville RW10CA 10" Active Subwoofer in my compact car, and it has completely transformed my audio experience. Despite its slim 2.7-inch low-profile design, the sub delivers deep, clean bass that punches well above its size. The built-in 800W peak amplifier with adjustable low-pass filter and bass boost allows me to fine-tune the sound perfectly for different genres, from hip-hop to rock and EDM. Installation was straightforward, especially with the included remote bass knob and mounting hardware. The compact design meant it fit easily under my seat without taking up precious cargo space. All connections were clearly labeled, and the sub’s quality construction feels solid and durable. I appreciate that it does not rattle at normal volumes and maintains clarity even when cranked up. The subwoofer provides excellent value for money, offering performance similar to larger, more expensive setups. Its compact size, ease of installation, and functionality make it perfect for anyone wanting powerful bass without sacrificing space or convenience. I highly recommend this sub for anyone looking to upgrade their car audio system with a simple yet highly effective solution.
Review: Great for stock audio in a compact space - UPDATE: 3 years later and still going strong. Now installed into a 21 kia soul and again it fills out the low end nicely. Even if it suddenly dies tomorrow it's been a great investment so far. NOTE I suspect blown units are a result of people cranking up bass boost. Don't do this. Keep it nearly off and get your desired sound via gain. The thing will rattle your rear view mirror but don't try to get more out of it or you'll kill it. It pairs well with 8 or even 10 Guage amp wiring. I don't know how this sub would work out with a more powerful aftermarket system, but I purposely bought it to give my 2018 Kia Soul's stock audio some bottom end. In my car it fit in nicely under my seat on some custom built PVC risers, and the instructions made it easy enough for a non-pro to install it and get it working. This is a huge upgrade over any stock system - the bass is not going to rattle your teeth, but you will feel and hear it. When tuned right it's punchy and extremely clear. It's a marked improvement over stock radio, or even stock subwoofers. Heat is not an issue - my seat has a AC vent under it that blows directly on the bottom side of the amp - it's barely warm to the touch after several hours of use. I don't know the durability - I've only had it in for two weeks, but it really sounds incredible for a $120 piece of audio equipment. I wasn't looking for hearing loss - just a significant sound quality upgrade. ***IMPORTANT NOTE*** Actually tune the sub right. Bass Boost shouldn't really be touched here, set your gain correctly on the amp so it's loud but doesn't distort, and set the HPF correctly, and it'll sound great. Touch the 'Bass Boost' knob and you'll have muddy boomy bass.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lots of bang... ermmmmm, BOOM... for the buck
*by J***Y on December 5, 2020*

The world of self-powered subs is populated with a lot of different devices that offer various means to a solid low end. There are bazooka-style subwoofer tubes a-plenty, and more than a few angular, carpeted boxes with built-in crossovers and their own amps. Despite their relative simplicity, especially when compared to speaker enclosures that need external power amps (and the required wiring from the head unit, and then to the cabinet), the problem with many of these all-in-ones is the amount of space they take up, and the aesthetics - or lack, thereof - for those who are seeking an install that won't detract from the factory look of their car or truck's cabin or boot, or take up precious cargo space. I wasn't concerned about either; my 2010 Ford Transit Connect is a work vehicle. My desire for a sub started when I recently ditched the crappy factory radio for a Bluetooth-capable Binize head unit. Once in, I was surprised at just how much the new radio could wring from the little van's 5 1/4 inch, door-mounted factory speakers, which sounded suddenly much clearer... but it was equally clear that these wee cones could never hope to present the bass I knew I was missing. So, I decided to have a look at powered subs. The Rockville unit was very reasonably priced, and it promised to deliver the bass I wanted, while also disappearing under the driver's seat, thanks to its flat speaker, pastry-box architecture, and sub-four-inch installed height. The unit arrived quickly, and it's an impressive bit of kit - heavy, nicely finished, and packed along with a great set of instructions and clearly-packaged outboard hardware. The installation took an afternoon; in addition to the power wire (not supplied; 4 gauge, through a grommet in the firewall, direct tap to the positive side of the battery, with a store-bought circuit breaker) and the wire that tells the amp to switch on when the radio is turned on (12-gauge, not supplied), I had to run RCA cables (also not supplied, but the same as those you'd use on a home stereo) between the head unit and the sub. The sub also has to be grounded - not a big deal, since any good chassis ground does the job. A short bit of 12-ga. wire and a ring terminal on a seat-mounting bolt did the job, there. Thanks to a neat set of four rubber "feet" which screw onto the unit's sides, then offer screw holes for mounting the unit to the floor, the physical installation was very easy - and I didn't have to take the seat out of the truck (though doing so wouldn't have added a lot to the install time). I just had to slide the seat forward, then, back to access the mounts. There are marked, easily-accessed terminals for the incoming signal and voltage, and a special phone-style plug for the included remote volume knob (which I mounted under the dash). The cable for the remote is a substantial length, and the connectors are already on. Since I didn't want to have to crimp any new ends on, I left it at the length it arrived at, and once it was run along with the other cables, along the sill and kick plate, I just bundled it and zip-tied it securely in a space up under the dash. Once it was all in, all that was left was to set the controls to my liking, and here, again, the included instructions were a big help. There are switches for phase, and for different types of input; the former will offer a subtle shift in the "feel" of the bass, and the latter toggle has to do with whether your radio has output jacks (again - like a home stereo) or if you'll need to tap into the wires that run to your speakers (not as good, sonically, but still a workable solution). Powered subs are blunt-force tools, especially when they're parked directly under your seat, so, it took a bit of not entirely unpleasant fiddling to set the baseline. Adjustments to the overall power of the amp, and the crossover point that determines how much bass the sub will be asked to siphon from the signal supplied, and how much will be ignored, are inset into the back plate, and are accessible and adjustable with a screwdriver. Once the foundation was set, thanks to the dash-mounted remote volume knob, I was able to adjust just how much I wanted to blast my southern regions and the immediate area surrounding the truck. And blast, it does. All in all, I'm really pleased with the unit. It's not something I'd brag to an audiophile about, but if you're looking for a solid piece that does the job, I can't recommend it enough. The remote is a big plus to keep things well-blended from rock, to classical/jazz, to news and weather programming (and the blue "on" light isn't too distracting, if you mount the knob low enough on your dash). If you're handy, and have the right tools (power drill/driver, crimpers, strippers, a basic working knowledge of car wiring), go for it.
