The RMC series of marine speakers by Rockville are a major upgrade to our old RMS series. Don’t get me wrong we loved our old series, but we strive for perfection. We wanted a speaker that is more durable, more water resistant, can handle more power, and put out better sound quality! 

As always we sent our team on a speaker-hunting adventure. We tested countless prototypes until the RMC series was born. We ended up with a speaker that has a lot more bass and mids than any other speaker on the market at this price point. This speaker will destroy all those cheap dual cone speakers, and it will compete with top branded marine speakers on the market today!

These speakers are completely waterproof and protected from the elements! They are UV treated and have a special waterproof coating to prevent water damage. Also these speakers come with a 1 year warranty to give you the peace of mind you deserve when purchasing from Rockville!

Rockville engineers care about quality and sound more than anything else. The RMC80 was designed in a molded ABS plastic basket. The polypropylene cone is reliable and sounds great. This material is used on most of the top speakers on the market. We use rubber surrounds on these to eliminate unwanted distortion. In addition rubber is a very waterproof material. The ½˝ polymer tweeter puts out incredible sounding highs. The low end bass and mids of these speakers really makes them stand out. 

The RMC80 8˝ marine speakers were engineered to deliver amazing power and sound quality in the outdoors; be it saltwater, freshwater or any other harsh environments. These speakers can withstand tons of abuse and can handle 400 watts peak and 100 watts RMS each. These Rockville speakers comply with the CEA 2031 Loud Speaker Standard. This same rating standard is used by the highest end marine brands in the industry. CEA compliant means you can rest assured that the ratings are 100% legitimate. (We compared these against other brands and although some of these other brands stated higher wattage the Rockville RMC80 speakers were able to handle more than double the power!)

Using only true marine grade components and materials, the Rockville RMC80 speakers are fully marinized against salt & fresh water conditions. They will not get damaged by fresh water, salt water, or moisture. There is also an additional waterproof and UV resistant coating to completely protect the speakers.

The speakers come with everything you need for installation including pre mounted grills and mounting hardware.

About Rockville Quality Control Procedures:
The Rockville brand stands for Quality, Innovation and Value. All Rockville products go through the most rigorous quality control standards in the industry. Products go through months of extensive testing before they reach your hands. All user functions are tested and all internal components are tested for quality. Rockville makes products that are virtually un-breakable! Rockville is one of the only brands in its class to test every concept model for weeks or months before starting production. Once production begins, Rockville sends product engineers to their factory to quality control every line of production. During production every product is tested and on top of that Rockville goes the extra mile and has their high level product engineers do an additional quality control. They test a certain percentage of all products from the production line a second time to ensure that the quality meets their vigorous standards, and to make sure that there is never a batch of products with even a slight problem. All Rockville products are backed with a hassle free warranty.


Advantages of the RWB80W:

Description of RXM8BTW:

Rockville RXM8BT Marine 8 Channel Digital Class D Power Amplifier with Bluetooth Wireless Integration.

The Rockville Proton Series Marine amplifiers are engineered with advanced technologies. These amps are a full solution to your marine audio needs. Gone are the old days where people bring CD's on their boat or listen to FM radio that cuts in and out. Gone are the days where you need a receiver and multiple amplifiers to power your speakers. Gone are the days where you have wires running throughout your boat. Welcome to the marine system of the future! The Rockville RXM8BT will change your life! This is an 8 channel amplifier with Bluetooth built in! The Bluetooth will allow you to stream music wirelessly from a Bluetooth enabled MP3 player or smartphone. Of course the RXM8BT features "zero noise" RCA differential preamp inputs and preamp outputs for system expansion. This means you can connect any audio device through the RCA input. But it's the high quality Bluetooth that will blow you away. It offers advanced streaming from almost any music device. Now you can easily play your iTunes, Pandora, Rhapsody and Spotify directly from your smart phone directly to all 8 channels of your amplifier. Even more importantly though, is the capability of the 8 channel amplifier. We feel this is the best marine amplifier on the market even if it did not have the Bluetooth capability which it has. It offers more system flexibility and more power than anything even remotely close to this price. I almost forgot to mention how good the sound quality is. 

The Rockville Proton Series Marine amplifiers utilize Texas Instruments patented switching technology to deliver class-leading sonic performance and extremely high power from what seems like an impossibly miniature package. The Proton Series' dimensions are made possible by its outstanding efficient class D design which is over 90%efficient. The result is more power in your boat with less current drain. Proton Series amplifiers are 2 ohm stable in stereo and 4 ohm in mono.There are so many options of configurations. Any 2 channels can be bridged to 1 channel. So for example, you can bridge 4 channels to 2 channels and still have an additional 4 channels remaining. You can simply plug 1 speaker to each channel. You can use 2 or 4 of the channels for subwoofers and the rest for your full range speakers. The configuration options are amazing with this amplifier. Whether you have 4 speakers, or 16 speakers, and whether you do or do not have subwoofers, this amplifier will power your system. With a smart auto thermal reset circuit, Proton Series amplifiers are almost impossible to shut down. When they get too warm, the thermal circuit reduces power by up to a third until they cool down enough to power up again at full power. And mixed impedances on different channels are no problem with the advanced rail voltage circuitry design.

This amplifier is so awesome I almost forgot to write about the most important thing. How much power the thing has. The short answer is a boatload!

But in all seriousness, this amplifier is extremely powerful. The true RMS ratings are 65 watts x 8 at 4 ohms or 95 watts x 8 at 2 ohms. This is the CEA compliant ratings. CEA compliant means the ratings are rated with the exact same rating standards as the top brands in the industry such as Kenwood, Alpine, etc. In total this has 750 watts RMS and 1,500 watts peak output. There are not many marine amplifiers on the market with this much power. Other brands out there will rate their amps at thousands of watts but in reality are only a hundred or 200 watts. But this Rockville amplifier is legitimate and will produce or exceed its rated power. To prove the power; you can check the fuse rating. This amplifier is equipped with an 80A fuse. To proe the power; you can look at the fuse rating. A general rule for 12 volt amplifiers is if you multiply the fuse rating by 10 that is close to the real power you will get. In this case that is 800 watts RMS (we rate it at 750w RMS since this is CEA compliant).

Utilizing the RCA preamp channels you can easily daisy chain a second amp for an almost unlimited number of speakers! But one amp in most setups will give you more than enough power and channels. This amp is a real marine amp and all the components have been fully marinized. It's resistant to both fresh water and salt water. The high quality surface mount (SMD) double sided PCB is conformal-coated keeping the board and components protected from the elements. All connections to speakers and RCA cables are 100% stainless steel to avoid any signal robbing corrosion. The RXM8BT is rated at 750 Watts RMS /1500 Watts Peak and is loud enough to literally power a boatload of speakers and subwoofers. So weather your plowing at full speed ahead, or just cruising around the lake, the Rockville Micro Marine Series amp will keep the music flowing with audio fidelity that high end audiophiles have come to expect and appreciate.

Description of RMWK4:



Rockville's exclusive Professional Marine Installation Kit features top of the line accessories which have been specifically engineered to withstand the toughest of marine environments. You will hear the difference and we guarantee you will not be disappointed!

Rockville Marine Audio Interconnect cables are specifically engineered to withstand the challenges of both salt water and fresh water marine installations. The utilization of tinned Oxygen Free 100% copper conductors with polyethylene dielectrics in a twisted-pair arrangement optimizes noise rejection. The small-diameter white PVC jacket is ultra-flexible enabling our cables to be easily routed around bends and through tight spaces. Our exclusive molded connector features a water proof inner cap that is heat shrunk in place over all solder connections thus guaranteeing a completely water proof and corrosion resistant connection. The locking plug design with split pin technology further insures tight connections that will not vibrate free even during the most extreme boating maneuvers.

Engine of the Year Winners: Ford 1.0 litre EcoBoost is top dog

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

Ford’s 1.0 Litre EcoBoost wins Engine of the Year 2013 If anything is going to overturn the received wisdom that all small cars should come with a diesel engine, it’s Ford’s 1.0 litre EcoBoost engine. Torquey, lively and frugal, the 1.0 litre EcoBoost engine is a little marvel, a fact recognised for the second year running by the judging panel for the Engine of the Year Awards,  which has given the 1.0 litre EcoBoost the highest ever marks in the award’s fifteen year history. A total of 87 car journalists from 35 countries were hugely impressed with the power, torque and small size of the Ford engine, with one journalist, Peter Lyon, commenting: “Who’d have believed it?

Here's what an exploded car looks like

Fri, 28 Mar 2014

Automotive art crosses our desks almost daily here at One Autoweek Tower. Some of it's good, and some of it isn't as good, but once in a while, we see something that actually makes us stop and look. “Hatch” and “Disintegrating” by Swiss artist Fabian Oefner are two of those stop-and-look moments.

Car Scrappage Scheme – Darling wastes the chance – Just like that!

Wed, 22 Apr 2009

Darling wastes an opportunity with a half-hearted car scrappage scheme [ad#ad-1] The Car Scrappage Scheme had problems as a concept. But it was a way to help shift more cars (but without a change in underwriting policy it’s debatable how many would sell). And at £2,000 a go it was a reasonable incentive to buy.
