- When you think of "Budget" Car Audio gear that performs you can't help but mention Rockville. Rockville DB Series is the follow up series to their Phenom and Photon series amps, and a price nice looking at first glance. Rockville agreed to send me this amp and the DB45 for a dyno run and see how I like them... In addition they said I could give them away! First up is the the DB14, which is rated in the most ridiculous way possible... 4000W Peak, 2000W RMS and 1000W CEA at 2 ohms... What is the real number? Let's find out as we unbox this amp and strap it up to the Amp Dyno and see EXACTLY how much this amp puts out.
FYI 4 Ohm Efficiency numbers are wrong... Actual numbers are: 83% Certified
78.6% Uncertified

Everyone loves a budget gem.
Rockville has been doing some cool stuff lately... I like seeing all these budget amps being put to the test! Kudos
We the people demand 1ohm and 1/2 ohm tests!
Was always curious as to what these really put out. Thanks for the video! Love the channel!
Budget gem confirmed. Good price for just about 1000w. Great video as always Ryan.
Ryan’s face sneak peek after the credits is Marvel movies level of easter egg!
Based on your earlier tests of Rockville amps I bought a 5 channel version. It did a great job for the little money I paid for it. Glad to see that Rockville is still making decent gear for a great price! My Rockville subs are still kicking arse!
Just picked one of these at the pawn shop, thanks for the review. Very happy with the 4ohm output thanks again for the review
Another great video. Good job man. Thanks for all ur hard work.
Just came back to compare. Thanks for getting in touch with Rockville because my coils are glued in completely different
Always a pleasure watching your videos. Big hellooooo from houston, tx!
Ryan could u do more s.q. amps in the future,Awsome channel and very helpful. thanks for spending the time and money to bring us great content!!!!!!
Thank you for all your reviews I've been looking for a good powerful amp over a thousand watts
Awesome man that was not expected by me but alright!!! Good stuff!
As always nice dyno video Ryan.
Great work Ryan, love the channel. Would love to win this for my sons car.
Good job. I've never thought about giving Rockville a chance but you've changed my mind
Look elsewhere. They will fail in about a year or less.
Kevin McWilliams. Thanks
Hey Ryan Blankenship. love the videos you and BigDWiz put up, you guys are honest and clearly not influenced by any big named brands. i ordered this amp for my single 15 kicker l7 in a ported box tuned to 33hz. wished u would have done the next amp dyno on the DB25 instead, because i plan to order it for two selenium 8mb4p......i know it will b good power for them but just for the bragging rights.....lol. continue the great job OK
Good vids as usual boss!
Heck yea !!Dude cool video and a giveaway too cant beat that!!! Hope u could get an mtx amp like a thunder or one of their others to see what they can actually do!!Anyways thank you for all u do bro!!
Shocking!! We get our first glance at the.... face of Ryan at the end.
Thumbs up for face shot.
He has shown his face in a earlier video.
WeirdJerz3y I was gonna say the same but you beat me to it he showed his face with a video about hisarm anda surgery and he showed off his work shop I think
At 16:03
Great observation on the sticker serial #.
Thanks Ryan. In today's world the more budget jems the better. Lol Hats off to Rockville
Love the channel. Could you go more in depth about what to look for in the guts of an amp. Like what caps, resistors, etc. That makes certain amps work better or out last another amp. Thanks
I need an amp bad someone stole mine but I have an alarm now,love your vids the best
I have been using this Rockville db14 in my 2013 Ram in a custom fiberglass box with 2, 12s @ 2ohm for about a year and zero issues. I still need to open it up and do the silicone for extra peace of mind, but this Amp stats cool, bass knob is well made, never blown a fuse and I use it a lot at max. Never bought anything Rockville. I got a package with Amp, install kit, and 2 Rockville k6 subs, but my truck box needs more space for the k6s. So not using them. I tested them for awhile in box, but needed more space.
Rockville putting up some big numbers 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
Rockville is ok to be cheap and does rated nice video Ryan like always
I got a this Rockville amp in a marine version for my step sons truck and it pushed 2 12’ kicker comps very nicely!
This makes me happy
I've had the DB14 driving 2 x 1KW Ground Zero subs for around 5 years and no complaints so far. I also just got the DB45, but not yet installed. I'm gonna look for your DB45 review now. Thanks for sharing.
DB45 & db14 are sweet combo. Been looking at the NVX variants, to match my NBA401, which is their DB45 with a different preamp section.
Heyyy there how’s your DB45 holding up, I’m willing to purchase one but want to see how good it is
@@foreoscartautalagia4731 I never used it I'm afraid. Had to sell it because it was longer than I wanted for the box I wanted to mount it on. Must check dimensions in future. I've had no complaints come back so assume it's doing great!
@@michaeljohnson5184which one better ?😂
@@alfonsoornelas3318 the DB45 was too long for my application so I sold it without using it.
i bought this amp cuz of this video, and its been pretty good to me for 8 months now @ 2 ohm.. didnt have the money for a better amp but wishing i did now, its not pushing my subs hard enough for me. will probably sell it soon and get a wolfram 2400, thanks for the tip on that btw
Devin Hollinger awesome choice
Swear this is a REAL DEAL AMP!!! Just hooked my db14 up and it crushes my Kenwood 1000w mono block
I'm actually surprised by this, good job Rockville
This is awesome! I have been looking at rockville for a while trying to figure out a good budget brand and so far the products are looking ok. shipping might take a while, I'm in Chicago and ordered a few things from Rockville and some shipped from Texas and another from Florida. plastic parts might be cracked but overall I think you get what you pay for. I'm thinking of getting a RXD-T2 mini amp to power a sub but not sure yet.
This is the best budget friendly amp I’ve seen so far. Boss has disappoint me and Lanzar has too
Boss, Planet Audio, Sound Storm Labs, and a few other's are all owned by Boss Audio, Lanzar is owned by Sound Around who takes their lessons from Boss Audio. Basically they live by "Lets put totally false power ratings on our equipment and tell everyone we're the best."
Ordered this Amp today! Can’t wait to get it to replace my Cerwin Vega Amp
Awesome numbers.
Been running full Rockville setup minus the subs for a year and a half with 0 issues..Decent entry level stuff.
been running a Rockville for 6 months now great amp.
Still running them lol
Cockville
I was very surprised, great amp. Hope I win the giveaway
Ill rock that db14. Rockville is on the rise.
I bought their cheap $99 4 channel a few years ago just to test out and it was great for the price. Did get hot though.
Thanks Ryan another Superb video. No reason to sell it I'll use it. Lol
Thanks bro.
I think it would be great if you put a spreadsheet together with all the products you've tested and do a watt/dollar field per ohm rating.
"Boss numbers." lmao I love that term.
I'm going to need you to convince me to purchase the db45!
I was guna buy a db15 or 16 for a tester/spare amp so thanks for the vid even tho i already kno rockville does really close to their cea ratings
What would be great is if you test some pro audio amplifiers. I would love to see if amps like the Powersoft K20 can really do 18,000 watts.
Good job
Skar audio RP 800 I think pushes as much power at the same price, but I like the warranty and guts on the Rockville. 👍
Awesome video!! Great amp, was about to order one based on your video until I noticed it was class D. Keep up the good work!!
Class D is ok for subs. You have to get used to the sound of Class D amps though if you're used to listening to AB. Class D handles mp3 and other compressed music better. It rounds off the distorted high end, where a Class AB amp won't, and some compressed music sounds like crap with it.
Awesome!
Cool review I've always wanted to see Dyno done on a Rockville
I Oder mine it’s a 6000 watts can’t wait to get mine.
Second Mr. B.👍awesome channel😊🏁💣
1ohm would makes this amp just that much better, good job Rockville 👏
too bad i'm in Canada. costs way more for us, but it's still cheaper than any 1000W rms 2ohm amp i can buy in any store here. might have to scoop one of these up next paycheque LOL
It would be cool to see the Rockville DB 55.
Really like that they went 2 ohm at lowest ohm load. There's not many out there these days that do highest rating at 2ohm.
My name is Larry baynum and I love the women of the rock bills because I'm a Rockville fan I love all their products big d wiz love your show Duda awesome I love watching your dinos I learned a lot and but the right stuff to get by watching your videos thumbs up in a five-star for you
Except I am not BigD....
I have 2 Rockville RC10CA's that overheat and go into protect in minutes if you have the gain set at anything more than the minimum. I even setup 4 80mm computer fans, 1 fan on the left & right sides of each unit, to blow air on them to keep them from going into protect after only a few minutes of use. I replaced them with a different brand of amp and dual shallow 12's and I can play that newer setup literally for hours w/o any heat issues. So I'm NOT a fan of Rockville. I'd sell the RC10CA's but I don't want to burden anyone else with something that constantly wants to overheat!!!
Heck ya would love to run that on my 10s
Not bad at all my friend.
Not a bad amp and it looks good inside. I'm not positive, but usually when the watts climb slow the way that amp did, the sound quality is good.
I have one of this and i have blown lot of subs this amp is crazy
I have a DB10 does great pulling my 600 RMS speaker
I like having 1000 watts rms at 2 ohms, I have a single dual 4, it's an Orion xtr pro 12 inch I believe it's 1500 rms, that would be cool to have.
How is that sub I have a now classic Orion xtr2 that's only 500 rms and it hits like my alpine type s
I just bought a kicker 43dc122 with this amp and the wires for $400. was skeptical but the subs retail for $300 and amp for $130 and after watching reviews on both sub and amp i purchased the combo
How the heck does this channel only have 30 thousand subs only???
Couldnt find this amp anywhere, so based on this review and the great reviews of the the DB15 on Amazon I bought the DB15. The DB15 is 1500 watts rms and my dvc4 sub only handles 1000 watts rms , but im gonna get a multimeter and hook it up to my amp without the sub attached and adjust the gain to try to get around 44.7 volts from the terminals and that should give me around 1K watts from the amp. And I think it will be better running a bigger amp at 3/4th power than running a smaller amp at max power all the time. Great vid
I couldn't find it either. Will probably by the db15 also.
@@descolero1 I have the DB15 now hooked up to a K9D4 and it pushes hard, its nice having reserve power for the future, I'm only at 3/4 on the amp and it hammers.
@@tooshmart6669 nice do you have any videos of it on your channel? I might get it soon i have a 12 in. type R only pushing 600 watts it hits but it should hit harder than it does. Hopefully that amp helps. Thought it was weird it didnt have a fuse only an external fuse.
@@descolero1 I'll post one on my projects channel "NOEZZI" within a week.
@@tooshmart6669 how's that db15 holding up for you still no issues?
Wish you still did videos bud!
I bought the 4k mono i forgot the model but it fried after 4 - 5 months on two 2kwatt 10 inch rockville subs
whenever i get back on im fuckin with rockville
I would like to see you dyno the cerwin vega amp 1000 a\b
I subscribed
Amp is Wired up. This Amp is well worth the money! Very Powerful!
Good vid. I just bought a Rockville home amp. Super great amp , especially for the money.
I thought you said 10k at first . i was like " Riiiigghhhttt"
Cool!
Thank you so much I'm thinking about doing a bill with three tones in the back of my Ford F-350 with Rockville
Love your videos wish I had watched this before I bought my 1100 boss amp 🤣
@budget gems or bust. They test every amp individually in house twice once for just the board then the completed amp and also send the amps to a non officiated 3rd party company to I guess do the cea rating test so before a Rockville amp goes out to a customer it's tested a minimum of atleast 3 times.
This would be cool for my birthday lol which just passed 5 days ago :)
I used to live in Rockville, Maryland
hey that's 20 min from me lol
Its still a Rockville
I'm looking for the right amp to push my 2 alpine type r's.. Rockville might just be the one .. & if I blow them then sundowns 2000k are next
Whatever happened to the Rockville subs that were 100 bucks? They were supposed to be amazing then they had coil problems. Did they ever fix the coil problems?
This would be perfect for me.
please test the new 4 channel Audio Dynamic CO DA-K2504FD
amp. Thank you.
Please oh please how do I enter to win!? Lol sorry I should probably wait until the end of the video. Lol sorry I got excited 😉
Hey blank can you do a couple 1.33 ohm tests sometime? Different higher powered amp please. Some people run dual 2 ohm speakers in sets of 3 at 1.33 Ohms. I would really like to see what my Wolfram 4.5 K does at 1.33. would like to see what my Orion XTR 2500.1dz does also. Thank you
Looking to get good low bass for my truck. F150 extra cab. What is a good combo using a single 12" woofer? Also looking for highs and miss to get a good all around sound. Any suggestions?
i like rockville but good luck returning them if something happens ever to them. I had a rxd-m4 was a damn nice amp but i had 2 caps just self destruct. I called and they wanted to inform me i was the first ever to have an issue but was a lie cause other on the car audio page was experiencing same issues. After trying to return it for 2 days under a 30 day warranty, they said best they could do was make me pay a 20% restocking fee and charge me for the shipping and id get what's left. I was furious and i was going to be out 74 bucks!! Took it to a buddy he fixed it for me then worked fine till i sold it. Don't mount these on box's either the caps will vibrate off as well. Not from experience but from others i have seen lol but other then the issue i had i bought 2 more and never had the same issues.
agreed!! it was a pain in the ass lol
You got that thumbs down bandit shook! Another great video thanks.
LMAO!
Blaupunkt has 150x4 (rms) for under $70 shipped. Could be a budget amp? Ive never owned a Blaupunkt.. They are china now of course.
Wonder if it could run a 1ohm load?? Just being curious prob could honestly but for how long lol?
Any plans on testing a Vibe or bassface amp?? Vibe I read very good things. Jus curious!!
This looks good for a daily driver, not competition
If you roll into a comp with 1000w amp your not winning anyways
