Is the RV8.2A worth it over buying parts separately?

It bundles subs, enclosure, amp and wiring in one package, which saves matching components yourself. The trade-off is that the amp and enclosure are budget-grade, so a carefully chosen separate setup can outperform it.

What power does the amplifier actually deliver?

Rockville rates it at 200 watts RMS at 4 ohms and 400 watts RMS at 2 ohms, CEA-2006 compliant. The 1200-watt figure is peak, not continuous output.

Will it fit in my car's trunk?

The enclosure measures about 20.2 by 12.5 by 10.9 inches, so it fits most sedans, trucks and SUVs. Measure your trunk opening before buying, since the box does not collapse.

Can I keep my stock stereo?

Yes. The kit includes RCA, remote and speaker wiring plus a bass knob, so it connects to a stock or aftermarket head unit with subwoofer or line outputs.

Two 8-inch subwoofers in a ported enclosure, the mono amplifier, an 8 AWG wiring kit (power, ground, RCA, speaker and remote wire) and a bass control knob.

Does it come with a warranty?

Rockville typically backs its car audio with a limited warranty; check the terms included with the kit, since coverage length varies by product line.
