Our take on the W8T4S4
The Rockville W8T4S4 is an 8-inch shallow-mount car subwoofer built for tight spaces like under or behind a truck seat. It handles 400 watts RMS and 800 watts peak with a single 4-ohm voice coil. Its shallow depth sets it apart from standard subs, but it won't match the output of a full-size sub. Owners say it delivers solid bass for the money, though some find it lacks deep extension.
