No tower so there all going in the cockpit. I’ve got the room for the 8’s so I figured why not? Plus they can handle 250w rms. So it lets me got the most out of the amp without going overboard on the # of speakers.For that price as long as you get sound you cant loose!!
What are the 8s for, towers?
Didnt know they made 8s...but the amp seems to be solid and a few others have used it as well.
How have you got the amp setup for channels?Don't know about their speakers, but I have the 8ch amp and I'm impressed with it.
No way in heck that cutout diameter is correct.No cutout template for the TEN inch sub. So I checked the spec sheet.

Wow that is a lot of demand on any amp so I am not surprised it went into what I would assume is thermal overload protection. Keep in mind that most of the Rockville amps are AB so they also have a lot of draw on the batteries and they may got hot as well not to mention the wire needs to be up to the task as well. You may consider getting the their 2 channel class D amp for the subs using the channels they free up for the tower and deck speakers you have paired on the other channels. That would likely take the heat way down and make things more efficient.I also have the Rockville 8ch amp and 2x 10" subs installed on my boat. Bridged the subs and they sound great for the money spent (dont need a $300+ sub to still sound great). This amp is pushing the two subs on 4 channels, 4 tower speakers on 2 channels, and 4 deck speakers on the other two channels. Adjusted the settings on the amp and it sounds awesome. Have another amp (different brand) pushing another sub and 4 more speakers.
My only complaint so far is that it did overheat one day. I was running it at pretty high volume for several hours and it just shut off. Now i keep the door to the cubby in front of the captains seat open if i plan to blast music at the sandbar, and I am adding a small fan to circulate the air. Problem (hopefully) Solved.
Max Power 2400W???No cutout template for the TEN inch sub. So I checked the spec sheet.
