Rockford Fosgate P3SD2-8 8" Dual 2-Ohm Punch Series Shallow Mount Car Subwoofer

Fits perfect in my 2021 Audi fat E-tron, replaces the stock B&O subwoofer in the same enclosure location. The stock ported enclosure is decently sized and falls in the ballpark for cubic volume required for this sub. Paired it with a 300W 4ohm amp and this thing BUMPS even at similar volumes as before, great punchiness. I’d recommend for whoever wants 30-40% more power than the stock sub.

Perfect fit and great sound in my 2005 4Runner. It works great with the factory JBL amp. To my untrained ears, it sounds better than the JBL subwoofer ever did. My kid was laughing because the new sub made his seat "bounce". It was an easy install. I found a guide online to remove the trim panels to get to the subwoofer. Once you're there, you just unplug the factory sub, strip the wires, and plug them into the Rockford Fosgate sub. The black and red wires go into the red connections on the sub, and the green and yellow wires go into the black connections. First time I connected and tested, the sub was working but not making much juice, so I switched wires to the opposite sides (i.e. black and green wires moved to right side of sub, red and yellow wires to left side). After doing that I tested it again, and was it ever thumpin'. I had to drill six holes to mount the new sub, which wasn't a big deal. The most tedious part was screwing the sub in, because I was worried I'd slip and tear a hole in it. Finally, you have to reinstall all the trim panels. Be careful with the 12-volt outlet because it seats really close to the speaker and the connections on it could poke a hole in the face of the sub. Overall replacement time for me was just under 3 hours. I went slow and took my time to make sure I didn't break any connections on the trim panels. I'd suggest a trim kit tool set. I've had one for years and it's so much easier than working with screwdrivers.

I knew I wanted to change out the OEM sub, I knew I wanted to keep the OEM box, and I also knew I didn't want to change out the OEM amp. I have the Ford Explorer Limited 2013 with the 10 speaker system which already sounded good. However, I knew due to age, and usage that it was time for upgrading the speakers and I decided to start with the subwoofer. I watched videos carefully on how to take apart the panel, so after watching so many videos I did it and was able to do everything in about an hour. The Ford subwoofers are dual 1.2 ohms, so the dual 2 ohms are perfect because let's face it, you'll never find 1.2ohm woofers and if you do they will not fit and on top of that they are very expensive! Now, I added poly fill inside the OEM box and it made a difference in sound completely. The bass sounded tighter and more real, it filled the cabin more compared to the OEM one. The only fear I had was that due to the difference in ohms, that there might have been some clipping. But not at all, I played hip-hop, house, jazz, alternative, rock, Spanish, Italian and it all sounded perfect. Now, I will say this, I don't know if this sub would work for the regular sound system, or even the step up from regular. I have the 10 speaker Sony system which has a higher rating of wattage compared to the others. This was an amazing upgraded to the factory system. Enjoy

War als Ergänzung zum Frontsystem für die Bässe gedacht, leider sehr enttäuscht. Sound in verschiedenen Boxen getestet und zu schwach, wird von einem 2x80w Frontsystem deutlich übertönt und kommt praktisch nicht zur Geltung, auch Frequenzen unter 100Hz! Zudem beim Einschrauben mit den beigelegten Originalschrauben (!) der Kunststoff-Rahmen gebrochen. Optisch und technisch zwar egal, da Trimring darüber und das Plastik eine Art Verkleidung für das Metall-Chassis des Subs ist, dennoch bin ich sehr enttäuscht von Rockford (Die alte 401s Endstufe und der Punch HE2 liefen 10 Jahre ausgezeichnet bis zum Autowechsel) und Toms Car Hifi (keine Antwort auf mein Beschwerde-Mail) Schade, Fehlkauf!
