Our take on the RBG12S

The Rockville RBG12S is an active 12-inch PA subwoofer with a built-in amplifier rated 350 watts RMS, 700 watts program and 1,400 watts peak. It pairs a 12-inch woofer with an 80 oz magnet and a 2-inch voice coil, so it is meant to add low end to a small band, DJ or mobile setup without a separate power amp. Compared with passive subs it saves rack space and cabling, but it sits below the output and build of premium powered subs. Owners rate it highly, and the common knock is that the peak figure oversells real-world loudness.

  • 4.6 / 530 ratings

It has balanced XLR and TRS inputs, an RCA input, and balanced XLR thru/output jacks for parallel connections. Controls include subwoofer level, polarity and an adjustable crossover.
