How much power does the RBG12S actually deliver?

Rockville rates it at 350 watts RMS, 700 watts program and 1400 watts peak. Treat the RMS figure as the realistic continuous number when matching it to your tops.

Can I connect it to a mixer and a pair of speakers?

Yes. It has balanced XLR and TRS inputs and balanced XLR thru outputs, so you can feed it from a mixer and pass the signal on to other cabinets.

Does it have a crossover for satellite speakers?

It has a low-pass filter adjustable from 40Hz to 150Hz for the sub itself. It does not provide a high-pass output for tops, so those need their own crossover or full-range handling.

Can I pole-mount a speaker on top of it?

Yes. There is a built-in pole-mount socket on top, and the cabinet is sized to sit under a satellite speaker on a pole.

What comes in the box?

The subwoofer and an owner's manual. Plan on supplying your own XLR or TRS cables and power cord.

Is it good for a home theater?

It can work for a garage or party room, but its 28Hz low-end limit and PA voicing make it less suited to critical movie listening than a dedicated home subwoofer.

Our take on the Rockville RBG12S 12" 1400w Powered Subwoofer

The Rockville RBG12S is an active 12-inch PA subwoofer rated at 350 watts RMS and 1400 watts peak, with a 28Hz–200Hz response and 115dB peak output. It is built for DJs, small bands and home or garage setups that need added low end without a separate amplifier. Its feature set is unusually complete for its class: balanced XLR and TRS inputs, XLR thru outputs, a 40–150Hz low-pass crossover, polarity control, a limiter with clip LED and a pole-mount socket. Against pricier powered subs from JBL, QSC and Electro-Voice it gives up some output and refinement, but it covers the basics a budget rig needs.

About the Rockville RBG12S 12" 1400w Powered Subwoofer

The Rockville RBG12S is a 12-inch active powered PA subwoofer rated at 350 watts RMS, 700 watts program and 1400 watts peak. Its 12-inch woofer has an 80 oz magnet and a 2-inch voice coil. Frequency response is 28Hz to 200Hz (+/-3dB), and maximum SPL at 1 W / 1 m is 115dB peak and 110dB continuous.

The cabinet is built from 7-layer birch with a 5/8-inch baffle board. It is covered in durable black carpet with black metal corners and has a custom metal grill. Built-in carrying handles and a built-in pole mount socket are included.

Inputs are balanced XLR and TRS jacks, plus RCA. Balanced XLR thru/output jacks allow parallel connections. A built-in limiter circuit detects an overdriven signal so it does not clip and distort, and an LED shows when it is active. The subwoofer has a 40Hz-150Hz low-pass crossover, a level control and a polarity control.
