Rockford Fosgate P3D4-12 Punch P3 DVC 4-Ohm 12-Inch 600-Watt RMS 1200-Watt Peak Subwoofer

This sub Pounds for days 10/10

This is HANDS DOWN the BEST sub for the price. It sounds like 2 12inch of any other, non competition brand sub. Hits HARD!!! I debated for a long time between this and the Pioneer Champion Pro, but went with this because of the rubber surround and MAN am I glad that I did. I listen to a lot of Hip Hop / Rap and this thing sounds soooooooooo clean. Its missing a tiny bit of the low low end bass, but that is just because it is not a 15 and has nothing to do with the quality of the sub. Paired this with the Rockford Fosgate Prime 500.1D Amp that came with a birth sheet of 632RMS. Tuned it with a multimeter for optimum sound quality. My only WARNING about this sub is MAKE SURE YOU BREAK IT IN ON LOW LOW LOW VOLUME FOR ABOUT 2 - 3 WEEKS, NOT DAYS, BEFORE YOU START SLAMMING IT OR IT WILL BREAK AND YOU WILL BE PISSED!!!!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!! The spider on these subs is SUPER stiff and if you slam it too hard before it has a chance to stretch IT WILL TEAR THE SPIDER AND YOU WILL HATE YOURSELF FOR HAVING TO BUY ANOTHER ONE IN A MONTH. I took the time to break it in and it sounds EPIC after about 3 weeks. Sub will start out kind of quiet and the bass will not hit very hard, THAT IS NORMAL!!! Don't just turn it up trying to get more bass right out of the box. I have not heard this sub in a sealed box, as I don't listen to a lot of Dubstep or Rock, but if you put it in one I'm sure you COULD crack your rear windshield with it, heads up Metal Heads! I bought a Sound Ordinance Sound Bunker v175 ported box because it was the best match for the required cubic measurements that I could find online. I also recommend that box if you can't have a better one made, but its the best 5/8 MDF box you can buy. If you want CRAZY bass, buy 2 of these and a ported box plus a good 1200w RMS amp (I recommend the RF Prime for cheap, Alpine for mid priced and RF Punch for anyone who can afford $500 for an amp, mono block class D of course) Hope this helps people on the fence, don't debate anymore unless you are looking at crazy $500 competition subs, this is the one you want.

Supar

Since this was my first time purchasing a subwoofer for my car, I spent a lot of time searching the internet for a solid performing, well rounded subwoofer. This not only fit the bill, but also didn't break the bank. Pros: - Very solid feel, well built - Can take a lot of power, I feel 600 watts is almost underrating this speaker - Hits hard and fast, given the proper enclosure and power - Cheap price, I had bought mine around $110, which is dirt cheap for the performance - The combination of the aluminium cone and trim ring look sweet - The rubber surround feels very well made - Relatively light for a 12 inch subwoofer - Seems like it can handle a good deal of abuse Cons: - This subwoofer is only rated for 600 watts, do not expect pieces of your car to fall off or to set off car alarms - The response cure isn't the greatest, but for what your spending you shouldn't expect the response of a $500 subwoofer I have owned this subwoofer for around a year and a half now. I purchased a second one around a year ago after the great performance I got out of the first one. I run both of them off of a T1000-bdCP and they hit very hard, while maintaining a good amount of quality. All in all, I would consider this subwoofer one of the best purchases for this price point. The sound quality is great for the price, if your looking for loud punchy bass this will deliver, and if your looking for even more bass just buy two (which is still only around $240).

I love this up but then again I am partial to Rockford Fosgate
