Overview
The Rockville BASS BLASTER 12 is a wired subwoofer built around a 12-inch driver and rated at 800 watts, designed to sit on the floor via its tabletop mount base. At nearly 45 pounds, it's built for stationary placement rather than frequent moving.
The 800-watt rating and 12-inch driver point to a unit meant for adding low-end punch to a stereo or home theater setup rather than a compact desktop sub. It carries a 4.1-star rating across 193 reviews.
- 12-inch subwoofer driver
- 800W rated power
- Wired connectivity, tabletop mount
- Weighs approximately 44.7 pounds
Who it's for
Works for anyone wanting dedicated bass reinforcement for a home theater or stereo system and has floor space for a unit this size. Not a fit for anyone needing a wireless connection or a lightweight, portable sub, since this one is wired and weighs close to 45 pounds.

Performance notes
An 800-watt rating paired with a 12-inch driver is built to move meaningful air for low-frequency output, with the wired connection avoiding the latency or dropout risk that wireless subs can introduce. Its tabletop mount base is meant to keep the unit stable on a floor or platform rather than wall or ceiling mounted.
