Rockville RockGhost V2 800W Powered 11" Car Subwoofer, Anti-Theft Spare Tire Design, Deep Bass, Easy Install, Perfect for Car Audio Enthusiasts

Installed this in a 2024 VW Atlas, adding it with some Kicker speakers and the Kicker Key 200.4 amp along with Enfig harness. I set the crossover as low as it could go and it complements everything just fine. I wasn’t going for insane thumping bass, more complimentary low end to the speakers. It blends in wonderfully for fraction of the cost of JBL or other options. (Noting I’m not saying the sub won’t thump, but for my taste is does get a bit distorted if you try to make it go over 50hz and super loud. But it thumps!) Time will tell how it holds up. The cables provided were fine, so no need for a separate install kit.

The sub sounds great. It fits inside my 16” spare. Assuming all the components are in working order, installation is simple. Here’s where my story begins… I wanted to save a few dollars so I bought a preowned unit. When it arrived the speaker seemed to be in fine condition but the wires were obviously previously installed. I SHOULD HAVE hacked off the previous owners connectors and reinstalled my own, but I assumed they were installed correctly. Wired everything up and to my dismay, the speaker would not power on. Devastating. Busted out my volt meter and was finding good voltage all over the unit. Signal wire was reading good, power, ground, all good. Must be a bad unit. I contacted the company and they agreed I should send it back. I asked if I could keep the wires because I had already run them through the car, which was a pain and I didn’t want to tear it all apart again. They said that’s fine. Very practical and understanding of them. Love it. The new unit arrived and I simply popped the plug in. Still no power. Wouldn’t turn on. Checked voltages again everything seemed fine. Now I’m pretty sure this could be on me, not the unit. Contacted the company again and they offered to help me troubleshoot. Super helpful. Lots of communication. Ultimately, the problem was the previous owner of my preowned unit had cooked the power cord and the connection just disintegrated when I gave it a tug. Overall, the speaker sounds great. The volume control remote is handy, but I’m just leaving it in the trunk with the speaker. The price is awesome for what it is. My #1 recommendation though is the company itself. These folks really bent over backwards to help resolve my issue and I’m really thankful to them for that!

This is my first subwoofer. I drive a Corolla Hatchback, which has no space, and this subwoofer did its job in a very compact manner. At the time I bought this for 165 before tax, and with the other hardware I spent roughly $300 on making this work. This subwoofer does come with everything that is needed to install it. For such a cheap subwoofer, it is a no-brainer when looking for extra bass. Installation was extremely easy. I don't work on vehicles or any electrical work, and I had no issues installing this. It took roughly 3 hours from start to finish. The bass it adds is well worth it for me, though I don't have much experience with subwoofers, so take that with a grain of salt. I recommend buying this subwoofer if you have minimal space and want some extra bass for cheap.

installed in my car and surprisingly has just enough bass for my needs. i’m loving this setup and best of all i have all my trunk space.

Good, solid kit that includes very nearly everything you could need to install it - including wiring, butt splices, and ring terminals. You'd only need a line out converter or splices terminals. The only reason it gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because installing as intended (inside of the my spare tire), it rattles horribly against the rim of the spare, and sits a little too high in the wheel, preventing the floor panel that covers it from sitting flush against the floor itself. Otherwise it's very easy to install, it's not nearly as expensive as similar options(JBL'S is $400-$500), and it sounds great. No distortion when tuned properly and very easy to relocate or remove outright as necessary, given that its an all-in-one unit that isn't meant to be hard-mounted.

I used to do custom audio installations as a hobby. This was a different type of purchase for me as I would normally make a sub box and install an amplifier. This. Thing. Rocks! Super easy to install and the sound is unbelieveable. I have it turned WAY down because of how loud it is. Perfect upgrade to the base, stock system.

Loved it in my Nissan. Dose not break the bank, loud and works for any sedan or suv that has a spare tire location inside the vehicle. Compatible for most with great durability.

This is the perfect sub for anyone wanting to round out the low end on their stock radio. It will make your trunk bump like a bad shave, but it’s not really a window rattler, or going to give you the same sound as your friend with a 1400 Watt 12” Sub that you can feel in your chest. It has a deep bass sound when your volume is at about 70% or lower, but it starts to fade into the background at high volumes. Again this is a great addition to a stock system, just don’t expect it to hit every low note or rattle at every frequency. 5 stars for: Everything you need is in the box, including wires to set it up multiple different ways (connect to radio or connect to speaker wires) It sits perfectly in my spare and I have my whole trunk for storage Good Sound Quality Remote with phase control, Low Pass Filter, again, and Bass Boost Things to consider: For installing this into a stock radio use T Tap wire connectors which makes connecting to wire harnesses so much easier Buy a Line Out converter. Your stock radio won’t have right and left channel outputs (think Red and White). I bought the Kicker brand LOC for $16 and it had everything I needed. Installed it in 10 minutes. My cars design has a foam piece that sits inside the spare and hold the jack. I had to cut it in half to make room for the sub and so the my trunk liner wasn’t going to fall in. So that’s a potential downfall for some cars.

Just amaizing. I bought this for my Suzuki ignis and the base is perfect in the car. Rockville rocks 😍

Great bass for the price! Just wanted something to round out the factory sound system and it does a great job and takes up no trunk space. The audio installer recommended a 100 hr break-in period, so I didn't turn up the gain over 40% during that period. Sounds good now and time will tell how long it lasts under these conditions(moderate gain, no bass boost and overall volume rarely exceeds 50% max).

Se escucha de lo más rico, mi camioneta no trae sonido firmado pero con este bajo mejoró enormemente la calidad del sonido. El bajo ya trae el kit necesario para la instalación, no es necesario comprar el kit de cables aparte lo cual, aparte del precio, es otro punto a favor sobre sus otros competidores. La instalación yo mismo la realicé, no es cosa de gran ciencia, lo instale en una Seltos GT Line 2023 sin ningún inconveniente. Tomé la señal de audio de la puerta trasera derecha y al tener el bajo entrada para alta no hubo necesidad de conectar el remoto, fue una instalación facilisima. Lo recomiendo ampliamente, obviamente no es de competencia, no esperen obtener 140 o mas decibeles en SPL por que no es para competir, pero el bajo que se escucha dentro de la cabina es exquisito, para los amantes del bajeo pero sin hacer demasiado escandalo, no se van a arrepentir del bajeo que obtienen.

RECOMENDADO

I replaced the factory Bang & Olufsen subwoofer in my 2023 Audi RS6 with this subwoofer. Easy installation as power and ground and factory sub wiring is all right there in my spare tire well. The factory sub is weak (a 6 inch speaker in a big hollow plastic tub). The Rockville RockGhost V2 sub is a proper 11 inch speaker that gives out fantastic bass, fully adjustable sound and is a great value. I highly recommend it.
