Our take on the Rockville K5 W8K5S4 8" Car Subwoofer

The Rockville K5 W8K5S4 is a single 4-ohm 8-inch car subwoofer rated at 200W RMS and 800W peak, built for small sealed or ported boxes. Its shallow 3.54-inch mounting depth and 7.16-inch cutout make it one of the easier 8s to fit in tight spaces like truck cabs and hatch corners. Sensitivity is modest at 85.7 dB, so it wants real amplifier power rather than a head unit's built-in output. Against pricier 8s from established brands it trades refinement and long-term durability for a low entry point and flexible enclosure options.

Best forTight spaces: truck cabs, hatchbacks, under-seat boxesFirst subwoofer build on a budgetSmall sealed or ported enclosure setupsAdding low end to a factory system with an external amp
Pros
  • Shallow 3.54-inch mounting depth fits cramped locations
  • Works in small boxes: 0.35–0.85 cu ft sealed, 0.6–1.2 cu ft ported
  • Single 4-ohm coil is simple to wire to most mono amps
  • Chrome-plated binding posts and cast iron basket at this level
  • Light 5.2 lb driver is easy to install solo
Cons
  • 85.7 dB sensitivity means it needs a capable amplifier
  • Paper cone and foam surround are less durable than poly or rubber
  • Peak 800W rating overstates what the 200W RMS coil handles
  • Frequency response is listed up to 1.3 kHz, far above useful sub range
  • Few independent measurements or long-term owner reports

Questions and answers

What amplifier power does this subwoofer need?
Match it to its 200W RMS rating, so an amp delivering roughly 150–250W at 4 ohms is appropriate. Its 85.7 dB sensitivity means a weak amp or head unit power will not get much output.
Will it fit in a small sealed box?
Yes. Rockville lists 0.35 to 0.85 cu ft sealed and 0.6 to 1.2 cu ft ported. Check the 7.16-inch cutout and 3.54-inch depth against your enclosure before cutting.
Is 800W peak safe to run continuously?
No. The 800W figure is peak; continuous handling is 200W RMS. Feeding it more than that risks the voice coil and the foam surround.
Can I wire it to a 2-ohm stable mono amp?
It is a single 4-ohm voice coil, so one unit presents a 4-ohm load. Two of them wired in parallel would present 2 ohms if your amp is rated for it.
How does it compare with name-brand 8-inch subs?
It undercuts them on construction: paper cone, foam surround and a modest 30 oz magnet versus poly or rubber parts on pricier drivers. It fits smaller boxes and costs less, but expect less durability and refinement.
What is in the box?
The subwoofer itself, with chrome-plated binding posts for wiring. Enclosure, wiring and amplifier are not included.

At Walmart, for $39.95, as of our latest check.
