Our take on the RVS12A 12" + RWK81 Amp Kit Bundle

This bundle pairs Rockville's RVS12A, a 12-inch slim vented powered subwoofer enclosure rated at 1400 watts peak, with the RWK81 8-gauge amp installation kit that includes 100% copper RCA cables. The RVS12A is the vented, higher-output step up from Rockville's RWS12CA, built to add bass to a factory system without giving up much cargo space. It suits drivers who want a self-contained powered sub and the wiring to install it in one purchase. Against sealed slim subs it trades a little tightness for more output; against premium brands it undercuts on features per dollar, though owners of budget powered subs often note modest amp headroom and plain enclosure finish.

About the RVS12A 12" + RWK81 Amp Kit Bundle

The Rockville RVS12A is a slim, powered 12-inch car subwoofer in a vented MDF enclosure. It is a vented, slightly larger and more powerful version of the RWS12CA. The shallow enclosure is designed to take up little space in a trunk. The woofer is tuned to the vent's frequency, and the built-in amplifier delivers 350 watts RMS.

The amplifier has RCA inputs and high-level inputs. Use the RCA inputs if the receiver has RCA outputs. Use the high-level inputs if it doesn't, such as with a stock radio. The power, signal and remote turn-on terminals are angled for quick connecting and disconnecting. A fixed subsonic filter removes frequencies below 30 Hz, and an adjustable low-pass crossover filters out higher frequencies. For example, it can be set to cut everything above 80 Hz if the full-range speakers roll off there.

A remote bass knob mounts near the dash and raises or lowers the subwoofer volume. The bundle also includes an 8 gauge amp installation wire kit with 100% copper RCA cable.

Questions and answers

Does this replace a separate amplifier?
Yes. The RVS12A is a powered enclosure with its own built-in amplifier, so you feed it signal and power rather than adding a standalone amp.
How is the RVS12A different from the RWS12CA?
Rockville describes the RVS12A as a vented, more powerful version of the RWS12CA. The vented design trades some tightness for more output.
What is included in the bundle?
The RVS12A 12-inch slim vented powered subwoofer enclosure and the RWK81 8-gauge amp installation wire kit with 100% copper RCA cables.
Is the 8-gauge kit enough for this sub?
It is sized for modest powered-sub current draw. If you later add a high-power amp, plan on thicker power wire.
Will it fit behind the seat of a truck?
The slim enclosure is designed for shallow spaces like behind seats and in hatchbacks. Measure your mounting depth before buying.
Does it need a line output converter?
If your factory radio has no subwoofer or RCA outputs, you will need a line output converter to feed the amp input.
