The Rockville W8T4S2 is an 8-inch shallow-mount car subwoofer built for tight spaces like behind a truck seat or in a slim underseat box. It is a single 2-ohm voice coil (SVC) driver, so one sub presents a 2-ohm load to a mono amp. Its shallow frame and modest mounting depth are the main draw against full-depth 8s, which need more air behind them. Owners rate it highly for the money, though it is a budget sub and not a competitor to premium shallow drivers on output or excursion.

The 15 ratings average 4.8 out of 5, and buyers mainly praise it as a low-cost shallow sub that fits where others don't.
The Rockville W8T4-S2 is an 8-inch shallow-mount subwoofer from the T4 Series. It is designed for installations where space is limited, such as behind the seat in a compact car or pickup truck, or in motorcycle saddlebags. It has a 2-ohm single voice coil.
The motor uses a "High-BL" structure and a large-diameter, progressive-roll spider for linearity. A vented core magnet motor with extra thick back and top plates allows extended peak-to-peak voice-coil excursion. The voice coil is an aluminum alloy, high-temperature winding around a high-mass vented pole piece, which helps keep the woofer cool.
Power is rated three ways: 1,000 watts peak, 500 watts program power and 250 watts RMS. The RMS rating is CEA-2031 compliant. The three ratings make it easier to match the subwoofer to amplifiers from brands that rate power differently.
