About the Rockford Fosgate P3D2-10

Standout performance

The aluminum cone acts as a giant heat sink, directing heat away from the copper-clad aluminum voice coils. Special venting keeps the voice coils cool, so you get incredibly consistent bass performance over time. This P3 sub features an extended pole piece and bumped backplate that leaves more room for heavy excursion, so it'll hit deeper lows without "bottoming out."

Designed for deeper, louder bass

Rockford Fosgate designed the P3D2-10 10" subwoofer to stay strong even when the bass gets hot. This Punch P3 sub features a rigid anodized aluminum cone that holds its shape through heavy play, while staying light and responsive. Rockford Fosgate uses a new technique to attach the oversized rubber surround to the cone that increases available cone area up to 25%, so this sub can push more air for even bigger bass.

This P3 sub features an extended pole piece and bumped backplate that leaves more room for heavy excursion, so it'll hit deeper lows without "bottoming out."

The dual 2-ohm voice coils allow you to wire the sub for 1-ohm impedance to get maximum power output, or for 4-ohm impedance if you're using multiple subs. The P3D2-10 sub works equally well in a sealed or ported enclosure, so you can choose the kind of bass you want for your system.

Features

Overview: The Rockford Fosgate Punch P3D2-10 is a 10-inch subwoofer with dual 2Ω voice coils. The sub features a hybrid StampCast basket, quick-release compression terminals, anodized aluminum cone, and Santoprene surround. An anodized aluminum voice coil former and spider venting help keep the subwoofer cool.

Dual 2Ω Voice Coils: The dual 2Ω voice coils offer wiring flexibility; when wired in parallel the woofer presents a 1Ω load, when wired in series the woofer presents a 4Ω load.

Compression Terminals: The P3D2-10 features spring post terminals which accommodate pin connectors, single banana plugs, or bare speaker wire up to 10 gauge.

CEA-2031 Compliant: Power handling on the P3D2-10 subwoofer conforms to CEA-2031 industry standards. This means the subwoofer has the capacity to handle power under continuous demand, not instantaneous power handling, that over time, can damage voice coils.

FlexFit Basket: The Flex Fit frame utilizes slots (where possible) instead of single screw sized holes; allowing slight adjustment of the speaker when mounted.

Trim Ring: To improve the cosmetic look, a decorative trim ring is included that mounts over the flange of the woofer. When using the cast aluminum trim ring the woofer is first mounted with four screws, then the ring is placed on top of the woofer, aligning the final four holes of the woofer with ring. The other four screws are used for these holes to mount the ring and woofer to the enclosure. Without the trim ring the mounting height of the woofer is just under an inch, with the trim ring it's approximately 1-1/16 inches. The diameter of the trim ring is approximately 11-1/4 inches.

Enclosure Compatibility

Sealed Box: Rockford recommends a sealed enclosure with an optimum internal volume of 0.59 cubic feet (from 0.5 to 0.75 cubic feet is acceptable). Sealed enclosures provide the most control over a woofer, will handle a lot of power, and provide accurate sonic reproduction, making them suitable to all types of music.

Ported Box: Rockford recommends a ported enclosure with an internal volume of 1.4 cubic feet using one 4" diameter x 14" long port; this yields a tuning frequency of 40 Hz. Ported (or vented) enclosures typically provide better overall efficiency than sealed so they are suitable for use with smaller amplifiers, giving you more bass output from less power. However, this efficiency comes at the expense of very low frequency output (below 31 Hz).

Q
Rockford Fosgate P3D2-10 subwoofer. does it fit 1992 lexus sc400?
mark  Jan 25, 2024
1 answer
A
The factory subwoofer is roughly 8" diameter. This 10" subwoofer would be too large to fit the factory subwoofer location.
zachary  Jan 25, 2024 (Staff)
Q
I have an older amp that is only 4-ohm stable at 500w rms so I would wire the coils in series. My question is; are each coil 500w rms or is that the combined power handling capacity of the two coils together? TIA
jefferson  Jun 13, 2023
1 answer
A
Great question, Jefferson. 500-watts RMS would be the maximum rating for BOTH coils, so it sounds like your 500-watt amp at 4-ohms is an excellent call! Running the Rockford Fosgate in series to show a 4-ohm load at the amp would be the only way to connect, it will sound great!
bo  Jun 13, 2023 (Staff)
Q
Looking at a single P3-10 subwoofer to run with my P500X1bd amplifier. Am I best to run the P3D2 at 1ohm or a P3D4 at 2ohm? Will be in a sealed enclosure. Noting the amp puts out more than specifications show online. Thanks.
blakehog  Apr 05, 2023

A
Hi Blake, thanks for the question! The P3D2 will be a perfect match with your amp, especially in a sealed enclosure. So running 500 watts @1ohms will give you the most impactful bass for your system. I recommend giving one of our Advisors a call at 1.800.324.9695 or by online chat, they'll be happy to go over your system with you.

Q
What is the difference in the 2-ohm and a 4-ohm 10" Rockford Fosgate woofers?
juan  Jun 01, 2021
2 answers
A
Technically, the ohm rating of a speaker is the resistance (impedance) a speaker applies to an electrical circuit. Might be easier to think of ohm rating as the force it takes your amp to push the signal through your speaker. Basically a 4 ohm speaker applies twice as much resistance as a 2 ohm speaker. This becomes important when calculating amp to speaker parings. Amplifiers produce different amounts of power at different ohm ratings. Most amps have a minimum ohm rating to remain stable. If the ohms are too low, the amp can overheat, distort, or even burn out prematurely.
matthew  Jun 02, 2021
A
The Bass hits harder in 2-ohm it just depends on the amp you're running
isaiah  Jun 01, 2021
Q
If I want to replace a sub with a new one would I just take the old one out and plug everything back in and it would work or is it more complex ?
connor  Jan 12, 2021
2 answers
A
If the sub you are replacing has the same dimensions and specifications, the process of replacing it with a new one is quite easy. However, even if both speakers are 10" subs, there can be differences in dimensions. Also, this sub has a dual voice coil feature that may not match/align your original sub. I suggest you take the original sub out, measure it to compare dimensions for fit, and verify the specifications to ensure everything matches. If this sub isn't a match, you should be able to find an alternate that does match. Good luck!
matthew  Jan 13, 2021
A
As long as its the exact same speaker that would be fine.

Q
I have two Rockford Fosgate P3 d 2 - 10 how would I wire them to 2 Prime 500 watt mono amplifiers?
craig  Apr 07, 2019
4 answers
A
Wire each sub to 2-ohm per amp. 2-ohms will get you the most from the subs without any issue.
nathaniel  Apr 07, 2019
A
Just wire each amp to one sub at 2 ohms.
richard  Apr 07, 2019
A
The capability of the amp is the only issue. Do you want the subs at one ohm or 2? 2 ohm is the most common. You would just look up 2 ohm dvc wiring. There is a diagram in right here on crutchfield that will help you.
richard  Apr 07, 2019
A
Since that amp isnt 1 ohm stable you would have to wire each sub to represent a 4ohm load then each amp would only produce 300 watts to each sub. In my opinion this isnt an ideal set up but if its all you got then i would suggest seing about trading both amps in and getting 1 1000 watt mono block amp
bannon  Apr 07, 2019
Q
Would the Prime 1,200 Watt Class-D Mono Amplifier be a good match for two P3D2-10 subs?

Q
Can three P3D2 10 inch subs be wired together on a alpine 1800 watt amp. I think my buddy wired them down to .33 ohm and the amp overheats. Is that the reason?
charles a  Oct 22, 2018
2 answers
A
Yes. You have to wire them for 2 ohm
joey  Oct 26, 2018
A
That would certainly be the reason, If that amp isn't stable to run .33 ohms. There are different wiring schemes that would allow you to run 3, and not drop the ohms below what the amp can handle.
beau  Oct 26, 2018
Q
Can I wire three of these together?
charles a  Oct 22, 2018
4 answers
A
Yes just series each sub then wire them in parallel for 1.33 ohm
bannon  Oct 28, 2018
A
I don't believe they are 1 ohm stable
joey  Oct 26, 2018
A
You can. Providing you have a amp that can power all 3 of them. Wonderful speaker!
richard  Oct 23, 2018
A
Yes you can wire 3 together. The only catch is to make sure your amplifier is capable of handling a 1.3 ohm load. You would wire each subs in a series parallel configuration. If your amplifier is only capable of 2 ohm load, you may look at purchasing 3 of the P3D4-10's. Same configuration would give you a 2.6 ohm load. Rockford Fosgate has excellent tech support, and will be able to tell you how to configure the subs wiring.

Q
Can the P3D2 be wired to 1 ohm like I did my P2D4?
nicholaus  Sep 03, 2017

If only a single one is wired then yes but with two it splits to a .5 resistance and not a 1
adam  Sep 03, 2017

+ to+ -to- in parallel on a dual 2 ohms sub is 1 ohm so if it's a single sub that will work
tracy  Sep 03, 2017
A
Yes you can if you have 2 subs look it up on Google it will show you how to hook up two dual 2 ohms subs
tracy  Sep 03, 2017
Q
If I buy only one of these, can I just hook it up to a 2 ohm amp?

I forwarded your question to an Advisor and they responded with the following: With the P3D2-10 you cannot wire it to a 2-ohm load. You could only wire it to a 4-ohm load (series) or a 1-ohm load (parallel). To be able to get a 2-ohm load you would need the dual 4-ohm voice coil version of that subwoofer the P3D4-10. If you would like to discuss further you can contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat.
