i'd like to play with 2 but with a dual box it would be took much $ (to me) for playing around but i have 2 single 12 boxes.. i mean look at it has kevlar in the cone probably very little excursion but still and has 30 day refund on it so if it sound like crap i can send it back if it sounds ok i'll have another back up.. very sensitive too i could even run 1 at 4 ohm (600rms) but if i do 2 ohms just set gain crazy low be more than 2x rated power https://www.rockvilleaudio.com/W12K6D4/

 
Be a man and go with cast aluminum frame! Besides, they're outta stock.
i mean those subs though, the other subs they have don't look as cool and not as cheap.. i didn't even look at in stock part.. for all i know they maybe discontinued i was just wondering if anyone heard them..

Meh, save your money....

 
I put a Rockville RMW8P sub in my nieces's car for Christmas. Alpine makes one IDENTICAL to it. The Rockville was $65. The Alpine is $250.

I brought her car to the local audio shop to actually drop the Alpine unit in the car to see IF it was any better. It, sadly, was not. The cheap

Rockville sounded FAR better than the Alpine. Maybe the Zeus 1200.1 wasnt enough for the Alpine sub with accordion surround.

I am actually putting together a system for my wife's new CX-5. The amp will be an RXH-F5, 5 channel. The door replacement speakers will

be 8" coaxials and a sub enclosure in the spare well with a single 10". I've done this same setup before in a '90 Blazer fullsize, and I was

very impressed with it overall. They do their CEA ratings pretty well. With that being said, I do like the brand in general.

I can't even find tsp's for Rockville subs, I'd stay away.
American Bass low end stuff is pretty good for the money.
i shoulda just got the d2 hds 312 when it was $129 instead of playing with subs for 1/2 the $.. i need more mat anyway i just like to try new stuff, just not new 300-$400 stuff lol..

 
Those rockvilles are really solid for what they are.

Quite few ppl used rockville in the 150$ challenge with good luck.

One of my buddies did 146 on 1 Rockville 10

 
Instead of buying two or three junk subs a year just save up for 2 years and buy something nice. If you know you're in this hobby with both feet and for the long haul why screw around?

yeah i know that y i haven't bought a lanzar, ppi, earthquake, fu 300 or lcs300 cause whata do with those once u play them for 10 days?, sell for $20? i used to get new subs free like every couple months and i just like to hear diff subs so i know if they really crap or not bad for the $., still say my pioneer 3003 best bang for buck i've heard..
