Our take on the Rockville RVS12A 12" Slim Vented Powered Car Subwoofer Enclosure, 1400 Watts

The Rockville RVS12A is a slim, vented 12-inch powered subwoofer enclosure with a built-in amplifier rated at 1400 watts peak. It is the louder, vented follow-up to Rockville's RWS12CA, with a bigger box, a woofer tuned to the vent, a stronger amp and a fixed 30 Hz subsonic filter. It suits drivers who want real bass in a trunk or hatch without giving up much cargo space, and it undercuts most name-brand slim powered subs on features. Owners rate it highly for output and value, though some note the bass can sound boomy and the amp is not a true 1400 watts RMS.

What reviewers say

  • 4.6 / 513 ratings

Buyers rate the RVS12A well, mostly for the bass it delivers from such a small box and for how easy it is to wire into a stock system. Complaints center on the peak power rating and on bass that can sound loose at high volume.

About the Rockville RVS12A 12" Slim Vented Powered Car Subwoofer Enclosure, 1400 Watts

The Rockville RVS12A is a powered car subwoofer with a 12" woofer and a built-in amplifier in a slim, vented enclosure. It is a vented, higher-powered version of the RWS12CA. The shallow design takes up little space in a trunk.

The amplifier is rated at 1400 watts peak and 350 watts RMS. A fixed subsonic filter removes frequencies below 30 Hz. An adjustable low-pass crossover filters out higher frequencies. For example, if your full-range speakers roll off at 80 Hz, you can set the crossover to filter out everything above 80 Hz.

It has both RCA inputs and high-level inputs. Use the RCA inputs if your receiver has RCA outputs. Use the high-level inputs if it does not, as with a stock radio. The power, signal and remote turn-on terminals are angled for quick connecting and disconnecting. A remote bass knob is included. Mounted near the dash, it raises or lowers the subwoofer volume.

Questions and answers

Is the 1400 watts RMS or peak?
It is a peak rating. Expect far less continuous power, so match it to a modest amp expectation rather than a 1400-watt RMS one.
Will it work with a stock radio?
Yes. It has high-level inputs for radios without RCA outputs, plus RCA inputs if your receiver has them.
How is it different from the RWS12CA?
It is vented, has a larger enclosure, a woofer tuned to the vent and a more powerful amp, so it plays louder.
Does it need a separate amplifier?
No. The amplifier is built into the enclosure, so you only need power, ground, remote turn-on and a signal source.
What is the subsonic filter for?
A fixed 30 Hz filter cuts frequencies the slim woofer cannot reproduce well, which protects it and cleans up the bass.
What comes in the box?
The powered enclosure and a remote bass knob with its cable for dash mounting.
Where is the Rockville RVS12A 12" Slim Vented Powered Car Subwoofer Enclosure, 1400 Watts cheapest?
