Our take on the DV8K52

The Rockville DV8K52 is a pre-loaded bass package: two 8-inch K5 subwoofers mounted in a vented enclosure, wired to a 2-ohm final load. Rockville rates it at 400 watts RMS (CEA), 800 watts program and 1600 watts peak, so it is built for a modest amp rather than a big one. The 3/4-inch MDF box with a vented design is the practical draw: it saves you from building or matching a box yourself. Against separate subs and a custom enclosure it is simpler and cheaper to install, but 8-inch drivers move less air than 10- or 12-inch rivals, so expect tight, punchy bass rather than deep, room-shaking output.

Pros
  • Two 8-inch subs and a vented enclosure in one package
  • 2-ohm final impedance draws full power from many mono amps
  • 3/4-inch MDF box is sturdier than thin particle-board enclosures
  • CEA-rated 400 watts RMS gives a realistic power target
  • Takes up less trunk space than dual 12-inch setups
Cons
  • 8-inch drivers limit deep low-end output
  • 1600-watt peak figure overstates what the subs handle cleanly
  • Pre-loaded wiring leaves little room to change impedance
  • Vented box needs correct tuning to avoid boomy sound

About the DV8K52

The Rockville DV8K52 is a pair of 8-inch K5 Series car subwoofers that comes already loaded in a vented enclosure. It is rated at 1600 watts peak, 800 watts program and 400 watts CEA RMS. The two subwoofers wire to a final impedance of 2 ohms.

The enclosure is 3/4-inch MDF that is bonded, stapled and braced. It has computer-designed vents, is angled at 15%, and is covered in aviation-grade tweed carpet. Speaker wire connects at satin nickel push terminals.

Each subwoofer has a fiber-reinforced non-pressed paper cone, a thick foam surround, blue stitched cone reinforcement and a polypropylene dust cap. The 1.5-inch 4-layer black aluminum voice coil is wound with OFC copper wire. It sits on a cast iron basket with a black sanded finish. A vent in the T-yoke helps dissipate heat, and a Rockville-branded mounting gasket seals the sub air-tight.

Questions and answers

What amp should I pair with the DV8K52?
Look for a mono amp that makes around 400 watts RMS at 2 ohms. That matches the CEA-rated RMS handling and leaves headroom without pushing the subs past their clean limit.
Is 1600 watts peak the same as RMS?
No. Peak is a brief maximum; the CEA-rated RMS figure of 400 watts is the continuous power the subs are rated to handle. Size your amp to the RMS number.
Does it fit in a small trunk?
The enclosure uses two 8-inch drivers, so it is smaller than dual 10- or 12-inch boxes. Measure your trunk opening against the box dimensions before buying.
Can I change the final impedance?
It is wired for a 2-ohm final load. Changing that means rewiring or replacing the subs, so plan your amp around 2 ohms.
Is a vented box better than sealed here?
A vented box plays louder around its tuning frequency, which suits rap and electronic music. A sealed box would be tighter but quieter, and this package comes vented.
Where is the DV8K52 cheapest?
At Rockville, for $119.95, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the DV8K52?
