  • Our take on the RVS12A

    The Rockville RVS12A is a slim, powered car subwoofer with a built-in amplifier, designed to add bass without taking up much space. It is a vented version of Rockville's RWS12CA, with a larger enclosure and an updated woofer for deeper output. Owners often praise its value and compact size, but some note that it may not match the output of larger, more expensive systems. It suits budget-conscious shoppers who want a simple all-in-one bass upgrade.

    About the RVS12A

    All About Your RVS12A:

    Description:

    The RVS12A is in our opinion the best slim powered car subwoofer on the market. This sub is a vented and more powerful version of our famous RWS12CA. The performance is better than systems that cost double or triple the price! There are a few things we did that make this have such clean and tight bass that you will feel in your chest.

    • We made the enclosure vented and slightly bigger.

    • We updated the woofer to make it optimized for the tuning frequency of the vent.

    • We upgraded the built in amplifier and added more power.

    • We built in a fixed subsonic filter that filters out unwanted frequencies below 30 Hz.

    Super slim

    The super slim design barely takes up any space in your trunk. Our engineers matched a slim subwoofer with a vented enclosure and an amplifier tuned to perform optimally for this system.

    Huge sound!

    This model is like our RWS12CA but significantly louder! It is vented and the amplifier produces more power. You will love the performance guaranteed!

    RCA inputs and high-level inputs

    Use the RCA inputs if your receiver has RCA outputs available. Use the high-level inputs if you have no RCA outputs available like if you have a stock radio. Either way installation is quick and easy with this all in one solution. The Power, signal and remote turn-on terminals are angled which enables quick connecting or disconnecting.

    Remote bass knob included

    The remote bass knob can be mounted by your dash and allows you to raise or lower the sub volume from your dash.

    Adjustable low-pass crossover

    The adjustable crossover allows you to filter out the frequencies you do not want your subwoofer to play. For example, if you know your full range speakers are set to roll off at 80Hz you can set the crossover on the sub to filter out anything above 80Hz.
