Rockville USS10 10" 800w Slim Under-Seat Powered Car/Truck Subwoofer Sub+Amp Kit

Perfect compact sub for my single cab truck. Decided to mount behind the seat. Great bass for a great price! Well made...
This is a nice compact unit that has a lot of punch for it's size, I mounted mine on the rear fold down seat on the drivers side and I'm pleased.
Works decent for its size...it went into a full size car so I would say this unit is barely large enough.
Although I would like to go to a bigger driver, the USS10 is more than enough to what I need - PLUS the size fits just right underneath the front passenger seat.
I think it provides plenty of bass for a small cab like this. I can recommend!

Rockville RW10CA 10" 800 Watt Slim Low Profile Active Powered Car Subwoofer Sub

The best thing I love about is its size!! At 2.77" width it is perfect for behind the seat of an F150!
So far, so good. It does have pretty good sound for it's size, overall; actually impressed that it fits behind my porsche boxster front seat and still produces the sound it does.
For the size of this subwoofer, it is impressive what it can do! I have it under the seat in my work Ford Transit Connect, and it has given the sound system some much needed help!
Put it in the family boat. Perfect size! Sounds great for the price and size.
Don't let the small size fool you. It's large sub. You don't need a huge box in the trunk of your car.

Rockville USS10 10" 800w Slim Under-Seat Powered Car/Truck Subwoofer Sub+Amp Kit

Very easy to install and the sound is a great addition to to what I already have.
It produces just enough thump - not window shattering - just enough. I bought another Rockville sub for my motorhome. They make good products.
This sub won't rattle the windows but it comes close and adds the perfect amount of bass to fill out the overall sound. I am very pleased.
Provides a nice clear, crisp sound and the slim profile helps with limited space i had available.
Put it in the trunk of my mini cooper convertible. Sounds awesome!!!

Rockville RW10CA 10" 800 Watt Slim Low Profile Active Powered Car Subwoofer Sub

Low frequencies are incredibly clean and quake the whole car. I love this thing.
For a compact self powered sub - its exactly the bass I expected - maybe a little more bass than I expected.
The level of bass is impressive for such a small unit. And, placement directly under the seat assures that the bass penetrates deep into the bowels.
The sound is pretty crisp and delivers good bass. The knob works pretty well and I absolutely love the mounts!
I did try adjusting the frequency's and it did not matter. You cannot turn this up without it clipping.

Rockville USS10 10" 800w Slim Under-Seat Powered Car/Truck Subwoofer Sub+Amp Kit

It was easy to install fit nicely under the backseat of my Colorado pick up. I really like the look and feel of the unit. Very well-made very aesthetically pleasing.
Sounds great. Fit perfectly under the seat of my extended cab gmc. Volume control knob is great. Easy install.
The build quality seems very solid and durable. The aluminum housing and metal speaker grill feel sturdy and looks pretty nice too.
Divides the sound between the big and small speakers for better overall sound quality. Plus has a little punch. fully adjustable.
No matter where I adjusted the amp I could not get the gain control to respond. Product defected, returned for refund.

Rockville RW10CA 10" 800 Watt Slim Low Profile Active Powered Car Subwoofer Sub

The controller knob makes adjusting the bass to your source really handy. Take the time to tune it properly and you wont be let down.
The controls are easy, not much to adjust and you could used the included gain control to quickly and easily adjust the amount of bass depending on the music.
Extremely versatile - The low pass filter - bass boost - Gain - remote bass control - all worked well as expected.
Only thing that could make this better is a little more efficient cooling and coverage down to those lower frequencies. Time will tell if it holds up to daily use.
The unit powers up, is wired correctly and is properly grounded it just doesn't work anymore.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Rockville USS10 10" 800w Slim Under-Seat Powered Car/Truck Subwoofer Sub+Amp Kit

The included boost control is very small and will fit any where, it is about half the size of the kicker control box.
This sub is a plug and play item. Mounted on the rear tailgate of my 2001 Wrangler.
I like the idea of the remote bass control. Gives you the opportunity to fine tune a station/song.
Sounds great and easy to install with all the connections on one side.
Only complaint was that the wiring kit was shipped separate and didnt arrive until days later so I had to buy a separate wiring kit instead of waiting.

Rockville RW10CA 10" 800 Watt Slim Low Profile Active Powered Car Subwoofer Sub

I paired this enclosed subwoofer with a Alpine 4 channel 50 watt RMS amp and it sounded great! This sub far surpassed my expectations.
Great quality all in one subwoofer. Very easy to connect and amazing sound.
It's very convenient that you can connect it to your receiver via high level inputs, but low level inputs are recommended for better sound quality if your receiver has the pre-amp outlets to do so.
If, like me, you drive a new Honda Insight you will experience horrible feedback when you initially install this subwoofer. This is due to a feature on some new cars called ANC.
Tried high input, tried low input, even tried it in my Jeep, and on my work bench to verify connections were correct. No matter what, it just sounds awful.
