Features

Punch Stage 2 Woofer: The enclosure houses one 12" single voice coil, 4 ohm woofer. The speaker is a parabolic injection molded polypropylene cone-type woofer with a foam surround. The woofer features a 2" voice coil, steel basket, 60 ounce magnet and a linear spider.

Solid MDF Construction: The enclosure is constructed of high quality 5/8" MDF (medium-density fiberboard), which resists flexing and has anti-resonant qualities.

Vented Enclosure: The vented enclosure is aided by precision construction through computer design. The enclosure consists of a front firing 12" woofer with a tuned front port. The speaker terminals are located on the left side of the box. The top, bottom, front and back of the box are covered in black carpet. The sides of the box have a silver plastic end-cap with the Rockford Logo cut-out inside of it. The box has an internal volume of 1.35 cubic feet.

Tuned Ports: The enclosure uses a proprietary high-flow, low-noise port to help produce deep and loud bass efficiently.

Box Carpeting: The enclosure is finished with high-density carpeting for superior durability. The carpet color is black.

Speaker Terminal: The subwoofer enclosure uses one set of 4 AWG binding posts to connect your amplifier to the speaker box. The binding posts are located on the left side of the box when facing the enclosure.

Power Handling: The subwoofer can handle up to 200 watts RMS power and 400 watts peak power.

NICE SUB

Written By Richard, ATL on Wednesday, November 07, 2007
 
I bought this SUB and matched it to the fosgate P200-2 Amp and man does this thing hit! I have it in a 2004 Acura TL. I got this set up to replace the Infinity Basslink II that I blew becuase I had to max it out to be satified with it. I have the amp on the factory settings and I am more than happy with the sound. (i wanted an improvement over what I had without have to dynotmat my trunk or loose all my trunk space. My licene plate rattled at first till I "rigged" it. I used 4 guage speaker wire. I never bothered to review a product I bought untill now!!!

GREAT for the price

Written By Mike, Herriman, UT on Saturday, November 03, 2007
 
This sub is amazing for a ten inch 200 watt rms sub. I have it hooked up to a mtx x thunder amp that feeds it 210 watts rms. When i first put it in it wasn't very loud at all but after tweaking the amp and breaking it in for about 3 days i really started to crank it and I am very impressed. It sounds like something much bigger than what it is. I had a 700 watt rms component audiobahn sub in my old car with a 735 watt rms kicker amp and it was no doubt louder, but i like the sound of this set up a whole lot better. That other one was almost too loud for me. This is a great sub, I definantly recommend it.

Another A++ product from Crutchfield

Written By Paul, Omaha, NE on Sunday, September 23, 2007
 
Wow... Never before have I been so impressed with an online retailer. Delivered 2 days from the date of payment even though I messed up the billing adress twice in a row... fantastic service from Crutchfield, as you all already know.

Now for this sub. I have it connected to a bridged 160 watt rms Profile amp, and this thing hits harder than my friends two 12" pioneers with 300 watts going to each speaker... incredible bass! I could not be more impressed, the price is right on this one.. don't miss out!

Somewhat disappointed

Written By Steve, Orange Park, FL on Thursday, September 20, 2007
 
This box was not what I had come to expect from Rockford Fosgate. The woofer seemed fine, but the box felt quite cheap and thin. Another box I had in the past was much heavier and sounded rock-solid when you hit it, but this box was light, buzzy and sounded hollow. I also didn't like the plastic panels on the ends. I thought it would be an all-wood box with plastic caps over the ends, but no, the end panels themselves are all plastic. I'm not upset because the price was so low, and Crutchfield's service was fantastic as always. But I returned this box so I could get a component style that I can assemble myself in the future. I'm still a satisfied customer, but it's still true you do get what you pay for.

Clean, Hard Hitting Bass

Written By Eric, Norwich, CT on Thursday, August 09, 2007
 
I was very happy with my purchase of the Punch Enclosure. It was shipped in 2 days and arrived flawless. I hooked it up to a MTX Road Thunder Amp 150 RMS bridged and it hits great. I can't wait to break it in and see how it really bumps. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a nice loaded sub that is cheap!!

Im sad

Written By Cody, Seattle, WA on Wednesday, August 08, 2007
 
This sub sounds absolutely amazing! However, i am forced to return it because i bought it for my 2003 ford ranger ext cab and it fits....assuming i dont like the flexibility of moving my seat at all : ( I put it in and ran it for a bit and it sounds great. It hits low bass wonderfully and it'll rattle the windows...im just sad that my trucks not big enough : (

Best Bang for the Buck

Written By Philip, Cape Coral, Florida on Friday, July 13, 2007
 
After going to places that gave me an estimate of $800 for a system and installation, I backed away because I was on a tight budget. I decided just to take a look on crutchfield and found this sub. I matched it up with a profile amp and am happy I did. I wanted a lot of bass and thump and once installed, this sub delivered. The quality is amazing and I saved roughly 400 dollars. I couldn't be any more happier

Crystal Clear

Written By Josh, Lewistown, PA on Thursday, July 12, 2007
 
I just bought this sub along with a Kenwood receiver. I've got two Pioneer 6"x9" speakers in the back and two 5.25" Sony speakers in the front, with this sub in the cargo area(1995 Escort Wagon). The setup is crystal clear when listening to pretty much anything. I listen to all types of music, ranging from The Decemberists to Motorhead to the Gorillaz. This sub produces beautifully clean, clear bass for drum kicks and bass lines (think Primus), but is perfectly capable of rattling a car apart all while staying pretty clean. 5 stars, hands down.

Perfect!

Written By Frank, Norman, OK on Monday, July 02, 2007
 
It is hard to beat this deal, the sub alone is worth the price of this complete enclosure! The sound is amazing! I sent back an Infinity Basslink 2 module in exchange for this an I am so glad that I did! So much bass and it doesn't take up much space. As usual, Rockford Fosgate lives up to their reputation of providing a product that will exceed you expectations.

The type of bass you get from your component subwoofer doesn't depend on the woofer alone. You'll need a strong, tightly constructed enclosure for optimum subwoofer performance.
