Rockford Fosgate P2D4-12 Punch 12" P2 4-Ohm DVC Subwoofer

I have had this subwoofer for over a year and it has been great!PRICE:For a large name brand such as Rockford Fosgate, this is a very affordable product. I have gone to nearby stereo stores and they all have this subwoofer for around $130. I was 17 when I bought this so it's not just for the crazy stereo heads who drop hundreds to thousands on there speakers.LOUDNESS:With my Rockford Fosgate R500X1D amp it runs great and can be very loud. When you play a song with good bass and turn the volume up your rear view mirror shakes a lot. The side windows move a little bit too. It's funny seeing people's faces when they first hear it. All my friends want a sub in their car now. It is a great everyday subwoofer. It probably isn't the best in competing though. I have a somewhat small car and the sub is in my trunk pointing away from the car.PRECISION:The main thing I like about this product is that it doesn't over power the lyrics. Don't get me wrong the sub is very loud, but I've heard bass so loud you can't even hear the song. You can also keep keep your sub off full power and it still sounds great and it won't blowout quickly. In my opinion this product is just as good as the high rated products.SIZE:It isn't a very big subwoofer. I have it in a vented box which is a little bigger than a sealed one. So it takes up quite a bit of room but there is still plenty of space in my trunk. I can still fit a full sized cooler in my trunk in front of it, if that helps your visual. My car is a Honda Accord so it isn't all that big. The box that you put it in has enough weight to it to keep it in position as well, but it is recommended to strap it down.BASS KNOB (Comes with amp):I highly recommend the Rockord Fosgate R500X1D Prime Amp. It is a great match for this subwoofer. This amp also comes with a bass know which lowers or raises the power of the amp. This is a great addition just in case you don't want your sub very loud or if it's late and you still want your song at a high volume. The amp is also very affordable. It is about $120. Having the bass knob at about half volume is perfect for me. The bass is still very loud, but I won't blowout my speaker.

Rockford Fasgate is on of the best on town, for durability and great sound, just can't beat it.

i have a 2003 chevy s10 extended cab with an alpine head (sautered wires will help give you more power than would crimped wiring), 6.5" punch fosgate 55 rms door spakers, 6x9" boxed 75 rms fosgate punch speakers (ran wires from alpine to rear), right now i have an older fosgate dual 2-ohm sub model P3SD212 (shallow mount bridged to 4-ohms) 400 rms being pushed with a punch 400 rms fosgate amp. i bought sound ordinance boxes. sub box is ported and although my sub is a shallow mount it does sound good and clean but i am going to replace it with a P2D212 deep punch fosgate sub to push out the extra air left by the shallow mount to give me more bass sound to push out the ported vents. ive yet to buy this sub but if it sounds as good as its ancient cousin does then i know ill have nothing to worry about with quality. everyone says how clean and clear and loud my speakers are. fortunately i have very little sound distortion but i will be installing dynamat sound deadener on my doors. you cant go wrong with alpine and punch rockford fosgate. Metallicas "Ride The Lightning" sounds sooooooooooo freaking unbelievable. anything fosgate is a 5-Star in my book.(Friday May 15th) just ordered the sub, will update after the install on quality compared to a P3.(Sat Nov 2,2014). Ended up getting the P3SD212 sub instead of P2D212 sub. I sent the P2 back and ordered the P3. There was a slight difference in bass sound and i couldnt be happier. I ordered a 5-CD set of Pantera and OMG its an incredible sound !!!!!! Like i said before you cant go wrong with Fosgates. I may upgrade to a 15" 1000 rms watt in near future. Just remember to install sound deadener on your doors,but remember you only need 1 sub in a Chevy S10, you dont want to crack your windows with too much bass sound hahaha.

I commute an hour to and from work 5 days a week, mostly on the interstate, so I decided I wanted to invest in my car (2005 Honda Accord) so I could enjoy my commute as much as possible. One thing I knew I wanted to do was add a sub to the factory stereo. At First I thought about going with a pre-made bass set up like the Infinity Basslink or a Bazooka. After some research I decided I would spend a bit more and get something I would really be happy with. Keep in mind this review is designed more for someone who has experience with doing an install of this type, your own results may vary.After setting my budget, 400$, I decided I wanted to go either with dual 10s or a single 12. I decided I would be better off with the single 12 to help save on trunk space. Since this is a review is for the Sub I concentrate there as best I can. I was looking for 2 things; 1. A Dual Voice Coil (DVC) Sub that could run at 2 ohms 2. A Name that had a good reputation. Anyone who has done any car audio work knows you can tell a lot about a sub by its weight and the size of the magnet on the unit. Since you can't actually feel the weight when shopping online you have to go off of specs and look, in combination with reviews. Since this Sub had less reviews I was taking a bit of a chance there but I felt like it was warranted in this case.I am running this sub with a Rockford Fosgate Prime R500 amp and the sub is in an Atrend E12Sv B Box Series 12-Inch Single Vented Subwoofer Enclosure. I get a very clean sound and a solid punch with no distortion at all. The amp has a lot of features that help the set up as well. Once I have a chance to spec out the amp I expect the sound to continue to improve, but even just straight into the car it sounds great.
