P1S412 Features

Speaker Construction

• Custom 10-AWG nickel plated push terminals
• High density poly-foam surround
• High-temp voice coil with spun-laced Nomex reinforcement collar
• Linear spider with embedded 16 AWG tinsel leads
• Parabolic injection molded ABS/Acrylic dustcap
• Protective PVC textured magnet cover
• Reversable ABS trim ring
• Thermoformed polypropylene cone

Aluminum V/C Former
Rockford Fosgate subwoofers use anodized aluminum voice coil formers that provide excellent heat dissipation. Unlike traditional plastic substitutions, aluminum acts like a heat-sink to quickly dissipate thermal build-up on the voice coil. This keeps subwoofers cool during high SPL conditions.

CEA-2031
Power handling on Rockford Fosgate speakers conform to CEA-2031 industry standards. This means your speaker has the capacity to handle power under continuous damand, not instantaneous power handling, that over time, can damage voice coils.

Reversible Mounting
Rockford Fosgate subwoofers can be mounted in either direction. A removable trim ring can be installed on the back or front side of the subwoofer frame. This gives the subwoofer a finished look regardless of mounting configuration.

Stitched Tinsel Leads
Multipoint "periodic" stitched lead wire technique reduces the mass of each tinsel lead and spreads stress and strain over a greater area, significantly improving the reliability and performance of the subwoofer.

These stitched tinsel leads withstand extreme duty cycles, fatigue and high current that is critical to robust design.

This review is from: Rockford Fosgate Punch P1 P1S412 12-Inch 150-Watt Subwoofer - 4 Ohm (Electronics)

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 (which I have a pair of in my Expedition), 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.

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.
