  • Our take on the RV8.1A

    The Rockville RV8.1A is an all-in-one bass package: a single 8-inch subwoofer in a vented enclosure with a built-in mono block amplifier, rated at 400 watts peak. The enclosure is angled at 15 degrees with bottom-mounted vents, which Rockville says pushes bass forward and gives punchier output than a flat box. The amp is CEA-2006 compliant, a rated-power standard many budget packages skip. It suits someone who wants added low end in a car or small space without matching a separate amp and box, and it competes on convenience rather than audiophile refinement.

    About the RV8.1A

    The Rockville RV8.1A is an all-in-one bass package. It includes a single 8" subwoofer in a ported enclosure, a matching mono-block amplifier, a bass remote and a wiring kit. The subwoofer is rated at 400 watts peak and 125 watts RMS (CEA-2031). The amplifier is CEA-2006 compliant.

    The enclosure has a quasi transmission line design with an aero-port system on the underside. It is angled at 15 degrees. The cabinet is bonded, stapled and braced MDF, covered in carpet embroidered with the logo. The subwoofer has a polypropylene cone, a butyl rubber surround and a 1.5" four-layer aluminum voice coil.

    The amplifier is a Class A/B mono-block with a subsonic filter, a low-pass crossover and a bass equalizer. It accepts RCA or high-level speaker inputs and has auto-start turn-on circuitry for OEM integration. It also has thermal, speaker short, overload and DC protection. After a thermal shutdown it restarts on its own once it cools down.

    Questions and answers

    Is the RV8.1A worth it over buying a sub and amp separately?
    It saves you matching a sub, box and amp yourself, and the amp is CEA-2006 rated. Separate components give more upgrade room and likely better sound, but cost more effort.
    How much power does the RV8.1A actually make?
    Rockville rates it at 400 watts peak. The CEA-2006 compliance means the amp's claimed output is measured to a standard, but expect real continuous output well below the peak figure.
    Will an 8-inch sub be enough bass?
    An 8-inch driver in a vented box adds noticeable punch in a small cabin. It won't deliver the deep, heavy low end of a 12-inch or dual-sub setup.
    Does the RV8.1A fit in a trunk or hatch?
    The enclosure is angled at 15 degrees with vents on the bottom, so check its footprint against your space before buying. The angle can make it awkward in shallow trunks.
    What is included with the RV8.1A?
    The package is the loaded vented enclosure with the 8-inch subwoofer and the built-in mono block amplifier. Wiring and installation parts are generally not included.
    Can I add a second RV8.1A later?
    The built-in amp is matched to the single driver, so adding a second unit means running a separate package or amp. Plan for that if you expect to want more bass.
