Rockford Fosgate Punch P1 P1S412 12-Inch 150-Watt Subwoofer - 4 Ohm

Ordered this, got here a little late due to winter storm. Its not what is pictured, i ordered it because i like the older subs better than the new ones and it would've matched the P1 i already have. Its Fosgate though, i cant complain

I got one of these for my wife's car here on Amazon for about $33. It is running off of a 200 watt rms Kicker amp in a sealed box (1.10 cubic feet) and provides great low end sound in the trunk of her car. I decided to add a second sub to my boat so I figured why not get one of these since it will be in a compartment where it will not get wet, so I looked at Amazon and the sub was somewhere around $65 when I had just paid $33 a month prior. So I kept checking around and noticed that the price fluctuated often on Amazon. Then one day I logged on and it was marked around $26, so I ordered it and now I have that second sub in my boat in a sealed box (1.02 cubic feet). It is running off of a Punch 300 getting about 200 watt rms. They both sound great and I have not had any complaints. They won't blow your doors off like the P3 subs, but they sound great in the 150 to 200 RMS watt range in a recommended sealed enclosure. Definitely 5 stars for around $30, considering you get a much higher quality product and sound than what you pay for.

Pushed it with 150 watt RMS at 4 ohms. Sounded Amazing for first half hour before it blew. I wrote I five star review before cause of how great it sounded but this is unacceptable.

Total garbage but super cheap

These subs are alright, for the money. They hit some bass notes perfect, but sometimes they just cant hit certain ones enough for me. They distort a little bit on certain things, and on some they sound great. I would reccomend spending the extra cash and getting either Rockford Fosgate P3's, or Alpine Type R subs, especially if you are buying a box, spending money on a new stereo, etc, make it all worth it, its the subs that you are going for, dont go cheap on them. In like 2 months I will buy better ones to be perfectly honest. These are just a great starter system, but dont hit all kinds of bass.

Damn good purchase on these subs. I have tried a few lower end subs and gradually figured out what i wanted and these are it. (Sure, I would like to go a bit louder, like JBL's or the Rockford Fosgate Punch 2 or 3, who wouldn't) They are very efficient which was high on my list, to get the most out of my system without worries of overusing my battery and alternator and without the need of a capacitor. They thump and hit the lows nicely, though seem to miss the very low frequencies sometimes that my old MTX's would nail.

This is not the most powerful sub ever made, but if you are looking for something moderate to boost your sound system with some bass, then this is perfect. I paired this sub with a Kenwood 2-channel 350 Watt amp, and I have it bridged to just this one Punch. It sounds exactly how I wanted it to sound. I'm not into rattling my car apart anymore like I was in high school, so this setup was perfect for me. It has a nice clean sound, and just enough thump.

To the person who said this sub is junk should be putting most of the blame on the box. I know Rockford recommends a tiny box for their sealed enclosures, which is ONLY good if you care about pure SPL. A sealed box around 1.8-2.5 cu.ft. would be much more suitable for producing less SPL but a much smoother frequency response. This means that you can hit those very low notes much better. Add 3/4 lb/cu.ft. of polyfill (3lbs for $10 at wally world) and you will get an even better response from your new Rockford sub!A ported enclosure is also a very viable option for a 12" sub. Tuning the box lower than Rockford's spec will, again, lower the SPL, but it will increase the driver's ability to hit lower notes.Overall, I feel Rockford P1's are a good value with solid performance, especially when had for under fifty dinero.
