Review: Great Value and Sound for the money. Fast Easy install. - I replaced the factory JBL subwoofer in a 2008 Tundra CrewMax. The factory speaker was shot. It was a 9" subwoofer, but the opening in the sub box had some play and I could screw in this Rockville sub in fine, the size was perfect. I had to line it up so that the screws would line up before I pre-drilled the holes - but that is the design of the Toyota Sub box and given it was designed for a 9" speaker not am 8". It came with foam padding on the bottom of the contact surface but I added extra. The reason I chose this is that I had a 3-1/2" height so I needed a low profile sub a this worked out great. The quality for the value was great. The JBL was light weight and not very good. The weight difference between the two was laughable. The Rockville is nice and hefty and feels durable. Now with this Rockville installed you can feel the difference. It looks great installed BUT it is facing the floor under the back seat so nobody but me (and you via my pics can appreciate it). The sound quality is great and fills out what was missing with the other speaker and amp upgrades I made. What made the install super easy was the quick attachments. I cut the wires ands stripped them and used the spring loaded wire connector to just install the wire with no issues.
Review: Great price and hard to find in other brands - Great speaker. Works great for small sub boxes or for custom door installs. Has a great punch to it. Nothing too over the top, just the right amount of bass.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sound vs name brand.
*by S***M on July 18, 2025*

Works great. 2nd speaker is tried. 1st one was a shallow mount Pioneer. Sounded like crap. Was trusting a name. Never again. This one here, so far so good. No blown speaker sound.
