Rockford FosgatePrime R2S-1X12 Single R2S Slim 12” Shallow Subwoofer Loaded in a Wedge Enclosure with 250 Watts RMS / 500 Watts Max

Bought this on sale for $140 and set it up with a Boss R1100M monoblock amp and Boss wire install kit. Installing the actual sub was a breeze - it fit really well behind my rear seat and the wires were a breeze to plug in because of the terminals. It's heavy enough that it won't slide across my carpet, but light enough that it's not awkward to lift or put in place. Sounds great and the sucker bumps!Caveats:- I'm by no means an audiophile - I love the bump this sub puts out, but I'm also not trying to launch my car to the moon.- I'm currently running 4 (one is dead, so really 3) 6x9 blaupunkts (x2 in front, x2 in back) in the car and the sound quality wasn't that great to begin with. Adding the sub added a little more umph and makes it sound a million times better.Everything I bought with this:amp: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004S4XNEOwire install kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FKP7TY

First, this sub, is amazing for an inexpensive sub. Second, running it with the right deck, front and rear speakers amplifier and sound settings in the vehicle, your car will shake. If you're looking for a sub that will give you that bass shaking experience, grab the right amp, something higher than 1000watts and you will see for yourself, it will far meet your expectations.All the people giving negative views on this product are one of three people.A.) They either expected something greater than what they are used to as far as competition subs. This is not a competition grade sub. It's for people who want to have great sounding bass in their vehicle. They want the shake experience but not the glass shattering kind that competition systems will offer.B.) They don't have sufficient power via their amplifier i.e. using a low wattage, cheap amp. I'm running a 1200watt amp and let me tell you, the sound is superb. I also have JBL's throughout my entire vehicle and a pioneer deck.C.) They have a very bad deck and also insufficient power via an amplifier to include, not knowing how to sound correct their vehicle to the proper settings.Don't be that kind of buyer. The sub is great if you have the right equipment and by right equipment, I mean a decent deck (Pioneer or better) and decent amp (Pioneer or better) even my cheap Boss 1100watt amp pushed this sub nicely.

I purchased this product for my 2005 crew cab chevy silverado. The box fits perfectly behind the seat and pairs perfectly with the bose system in my truck. I am not a beginner when it comes to subwoofers and I was knowingly down sizing when I purchased this product. If you want to rattle the windows this may not be the product for you but if you're looking for some quality rockford bass to round off a stock sound system or looking for a little extra punch this is the set for you. If any one is curious I run a 500 watt rsm rockfors amp and it seems to be a nice match.I'd also like to take a second to say that when I first ordered this product fed ex lost my package. I thought this would turn into a nightmare of trying to get my money back or a new product but after contacting the company they happily sent out a replacement and I received it only two short days later. Would totally buy again and recommend to anyone.

I was looking for a sub enclosure to fit the trunk of my son's convertible and it was a real challenge given that I had a space that was 32" wide x 16" deep and only 8" high that I was willing to sacrifice. I found various enclosures and speakers that would fit but found this complete package and decided to give it a go.... I matched the RMS with a new mono Amp to drive the sub and I'd have to say that I was really surprised at the quality and punch that this complete package has. It won't be something that will blow the windows (or this case the canvas of the top) out but it will sound very impressive. It worked perfect for the system I put together in my son's car. The sub puts out an impressive thump in the car even with the top down. Yes I would buy another one of these units. But do your homework, match the RMS of the speaker with a good mono Amp and size the power and speaker wiring appropriately. I went one gauge higher on the power (used a quality 4 gauge wire for power and ground) and used pure copper 14 gauge wire on the speakers (the wire run was less than 4', stay away from the CCA) and it worked quite nicely.

Here's my setup...a stock Honda Pilot radio, an AudioControl DQ-61 EQ, a Pioneer 5 channel amp, and various replacement speakers that fit the stock locations. I put this Rockford Fosgate in a compartment next to the jack, way in back, so I get full truck storage. The sub is tucked away, and it's a rather perfect size for this Honda tray/compartment. The EQ I bought has 8 adjustments for the sub frequencies, so I can really dial it in to the warmth of bass I want, and try to reduce some over-the-top thumping. If you can EQ it first, you are really able to tailor the sound of this to your liking. I'm not one to want my whole neighborhood to hear my truck, so I don't blast this. But, I will definitely turn up my favorites. Plenty of ability in this sub for me. So again, with EQ first, and an amp that has low and hi-pass filters, I've got it close to what I want. I found that if I low pass the rest of the speakers at 80hz, it cut enough bass to them...bass that just doesn't sound good from small speakers. So, when I did that, it's up to this sub to provide the low bass for the whole truck. With EQ first, it's very good. This is my first week with it...so I will see if my usage will blow it. I think it will be fine, judging from my initial use.

This in the second one I have purchased the last one was about 8 years ago that one is still going strong, it actually sound better in my 350 crew cab. This one I installed in my 1986 classic truck and I think it’s a bit too much. Don’t get me wrong this woofer rocks and you get a massage at the same time.
