PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The WHEEL OF BASS by Rockville is an all in one solution to give you great
sounding bass in your vehicle without taking up a lot of space. This sub
enclosure is only 3.15″ tall so it can easily fit under your seat. The WHEEL
OF BASS has enough power where you can mount it in your trunk and it will
still give you nice clean bass with enough power to get just the right amount
of thumpiness.
The amplifier is built in, so installation and wiring is clean and simple.
This is a true all in one subwoofer solution with the subwoofer built into the
enclosure along with a top of the line amplifier built in as well.
We added high level inputs so you can install this to an aftermarket or
factory system. The high level input allows you to install this even if you
have no preamp outputs available.
The smart turn-on circuit will sense that an audio signal is present and turn
on the amplifier. When you turn off your music signal the sub will
automatically turn itself off. Something else we did to make installation
quick and easy is we put all the inputs and outputs on one side. This makes
wiring easier and neater.
The WHEEL OF BASS has 500 watts of peak power and 125 watts RMS. This has
great controls so you can adjust the sound to your liking. It has a level
control for the volume and subsonic filter to filter out the really low
frequencies which the human ear cannot hear. This also has a low pass
crossover filter, phase control, input sensitivity, and bass boost.
Included is a metal remote bass knob, and mounting.
The WHEEL OF BASS looks really cool and sounds equally good mounted under your
seat or in your trunk. If you are looking for a compact bass solution in your
vehicle then the WHEEL OF BASS by Rockville is the right product for you!

FAQs
What do I need to put subs in my truck?
A component subwoofer must be driven by an amplifier. You will want the right enclosure if you decide to purchase a component subwoofer. A Dynamat kit will stop your subwoofer from shaking and will cut down on outside noise so that the bass is stronger and richer.
Can I leave powered subwoofer on all the time?
Yes, as long as your subwoofer includes an auto standby mode, you can leave it on constantly. Subwoofers that are in standby use less energy and last longer. Older subwoofers without this feature should be unplugged when not in use because heat created by electricity escaping causes the amplifier to become hotter than usual.
How should subwoofer be placed truck?
Different angles of subwoofer facing will produce various effects. Most bass enthusiasts position their subwoofers facing the back, pointing them at the tailgate of an SUV or the back of the truck’s cab for a powerful bass sound and feel.
What is the best size subwoofer for a truck?
The greatest subwoofer for you will be one that can be powered adequately, fits in your car, and is within your price range. Choose the 12 inch subwoofers if there are no constraints on size, power, location, or price. Choose 10-inch subwoofers if 12-inch speakers won’t work. Choose 8-inch subwoofers if 10-inch subwoofers are ineffective.
What makes a subwoofer more powerful?
The subwoofer in question’s wattage determines its power; a higher wattage indicates a more potent subwoofer.
How do you know if a subwoofer is good?
The speaker driver is powered by the internal amplifier, which is the vital component of your subwoofer. The secret to picking a good sub is to comprehend that power, which is expressed in watts. RMS and Peak power are typically provided on the specifications of subwoofers.
How do I choose the right subwoofer?
The power, sensitivity rating, and enclosure style should all be taken into account. Select the largest subwoofer you can if you want the system to play loud, low music and you have enough room. Never undervalue a tiny subwoofer.
Do subwoofers drain car battery?
The battery drain caused by a subwoofer is the most frequent type of harm. Adding a subwoofer to your automobile puts additional demand on the electrical system. It takes a lot of power to create sound vibrations. Your battery is used to provide the power needed to run a subwoofer.
How powerful subwoofer do I need?
Go with a subwoofer that has a power rating of 300 watts or higher if you want it to play your music as loudly as possible. The next step is to confirm that the amplifier can support those speakers.
How long will subwoofers last?
A subwoofer can last anywhere from 5 to 14 years. The average person should be able to get 10+ years out of their subwoofer if it is well-maintained and not misused.
Can subwoofers overheat?
Due to the plateaus in the waveform caused by clipping, the subwoofer moves less than usual and generates more heat. The voice coil eventually fails as a result of the voice coil’s excessive heat over time.
How do you secure a subwoofer box in a truck?
To prevent air leaks, drill holes that are just big enough for the bolts to fit through. Then, seal the holes with silicone or a similar material and flat washers inside the enclosure. Use flat and lock washers underneath the car to prevent the bolts from coming free.
Where should you not put a subwoofer?
The left and right front speakers should be 4 to 5 feet apart from the subwoofer. Consequently, my next piece of advice is to avoid placing the subwoofer in a corner. Undoubtedly, there are many benefits to corner placement, chief among them being that the sub will produce more bass with less distortion there.
How many channels does a subwoofer use?
For each speaker you want to amplify, you generally require one channel. A single channel amplifier will do the trick if you’re adding a subwoofer to an existing setup.
