Spare Tire Subwoofer Install: Rockville Rockghost V2 in VW Atlas

[@vectorr6651]

Thanks. I have my Rockville sitting right here and was wondering the best way to tap into my atlas. Now I need to see if I have that key to take out the head unit.

You're welcome. It should be in your roadside assistance kit.

[@vectorr6651]

@@nh-tech did your floor panels just pop off to run your wires back? Don’t want to break anything. Thanks!

[@nh-tech]

Yes, they'll pop off without anything breaking

[@nautique_la2178]

does it sound good without adding any amps to the door speakers?

[@nh-tech]

Yes, it does. Once you set the volume of the sub to blend with the stock speakers.

[@elmasduro780]

Can you power the door speaker with the subwoofer amp? And does it sound good

[@nh-tech]

No, you can't. Unless you open the subwoofer and do some additional wiring. But even if it were possible, I wouldn't advise it since the door speaker is full-range and already loud. The only thing missing is the very low frequency, which the subwoofer provides.

Hello I just ordered the Rockville from Amazon and gonna use your video to install it in my 22 atlas. My question is, does the subwoofer turn on and off automatically with the car or do you have to do it manually?

[@nh-tech]

It turns on automatically when you turn on your radio if you follow my process

[@elchilangoale]

@@nh-tech I just read over the manual and noticed it says if you’re using the high level speaker connection you don’t need the blue remote cable hooked up. Only if you’re using rca’s which I will be doing it the way you did it. Thanks

[@nh-tech]

Great! All the best with your installation!

[@elchilangoale]

@@nh-tech thank you and thank you for your video. Really helped

Hello, Did you have to adapt the Sub using OBD II/VCDS or it was a Plug n Play setup and all was good?

[@nh-tech]

It is a plug and play setup. No adaptation is needed.

[@trogers904]

Why do you say you prefer the jbl over the rockrille? What's the difference besides the price?

[@brianaughenbaugh8305]

Are you using a hi low convertor, and where does your remote wire go to

[@nh-tech]

I used the high-level input on the sub, so there's no need for a converter or remote wire.

[@adlerdefender8067]

Whats the size of the sub? A 10 or 12?

[@nh-tech]

It's 11 inches

[@smiller225]

What year atlas is that?
