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.

This sub sounds great built the box to the specs that came with the sub shakes my car would recommend

im pushing 600 watts into these and they pound i have them in a sealed fiberglass cone box from tc audio. i havnt heard them drop a note yet. unlike other subs ive used (kicker) dont get me wrong i love kicker i have 2 12s and 10s in my garage they hit hella loud but rockford is a clean sound. there cheap and sound great. but they are def under rated dont be afraid to push the watts

I am only pushing 50 Watts and this sub vibrates the car but with more power there is no doubt that I could Shake the car and everything in it!!! I built a sealed box from the instructions that came with the speaker and I wish I had a bigger amp! (In the future for sure) but this baby kicks! I can actually feel the bass now!

I purchased 4 of these off amazon when they were 30$ each and was not dissapointed. With a simple rectangular proted box design these are loud and make my ears bleed in a good way. Getting into the lower range although there is alot some muffled sound when it comes to listening to the the higher frequencies of a an electric guitar, almost all genres sing with these installed. Although you don't need to buy 4 of these to get alot of air displacement, they still sound nice paired with a hifonics amplifier. I wouldn't recommend 4 of more though. Your neighbors will want to rip your jugular out after you put them in.

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.

great sound for cheap price im running it with R500-1
also easy to install
you cant go wrong with rockford fosgate!

I bought a pair of these subs for 41$ a piece and they sound great. I have a 1,000watts pushing them in my camry and i couldnt be happier.

It was a good buy it hits harder and its a rockford fosgate product they are a very reliable company.
