Rockford Fosgate

Why install component speakers?

A component speaker system gives you the best possible performance from your car audio system. A system consists of separate woofers, tweeters, and crossovers, each designed to cover one specific range of frequencies. As separate components, the woofer can move freely to deliver more powerful performance, while the tweeter can be custom-mounted in a better spot up closer to your ears, revealing a whole new world of detail. Separate crossovers are far superior to the simple filters wired into full-range speakers, so the components work together for smoother, more focused sound.

Our take on the Rockford Fosgate Prime R152-S

by Buck Pomerantz

Put Rockford Fosgate sound in your car without breaking the bank. Whether you're building your first system or replacing some burned-out factory speakers, Prime component speaker systems offer clean, powerful performance that'll keep you and your friends entertained as you drive.

The Prime R152-S component system includes 5-1/4" woofers with stiff mica-injected polypropylene cones that deliver strong drums and bass, along with clean reproduction of the midrange frequencies. The separate 1" Mylar balanced dome tweeters top things off with vibrant highs that add excitement to your music without a trace of harshness. You can flush- or surface-mount the tweeters, so you can create the best possible soundstage, plus keep the installation neat. Built-in crossovers ensure a smooth audio response, so all your music plays faithfully.

Highlights:

  • component speaker system includes 2 woofers, 2 tweeters, and 2 woofer grilles
  • 5-1/4" mica-injected polypropylene woofer cone with foam surround
  • 1" Mylar balanced dome tweeter
  • power range: 2-40 watts RMS (80 watts peak power)
  • frequency response: 58-20,000 Hz
  • sensitivity: 85 dB
  • top-mount depth: 1-15/16"
  • grilles included
  • warranty: 1 year

Features

Overview: The Rockford Fosgate Prime series Component System kits provide factory OEM replacement while still delivering authentic Rockford Fosgate sound. The Prime R152-S is a dedicated 2-way component system utilizing a Mica injected polypropylene cone and a Mylar balanced dome tweeter. An in-line crossover and multiple tweeter mounting configurations allow for easy installation.

Woofer: The Rockford Fosgate Prime R152-S utilizes a 5.25" Mica injected polypropylene cone woofer for extended frequency response and accommodates direct OEM installation. The 5.25" woofer features a foam surround and stamped steel basket.

Tweeter: The Prime R152-S features a 1.0" Mylar balanced dome tweeter that reproduces crystal clear highs and smooth extended frequency response. This low distortion material allows accurate reproduction of high frequencies for an open sound stage.

Crossover: The R1T-S tweeter has an integrated 6 dB/octave high-pass crossover fixed at 12,000 Hz. The in-line crossover simplifies your installation. The 5.25" woofer has natural roll-off characteristics that allow it to exhibit great acoustic crossover filtering.

Mounting: The Rockford Fosgate Prime RS152-S's woofer features a 4-hole mounting pattern which allows it to fit in standard 5.25" speaker applications. The included 1.0" tweeters offer multiple mounting configurations. You can choose a flush mount, surface mount, or angle mount installation.

Rockford Fosgate Prime R152-S

Written By baldymcb, Austin, Tx on Wednesday, May 01, 2013
Installed in a 2003 Mazda Protege5
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Needed a cheap set of components to replace the factory speakers in my '03 Mazda, and these fit the bill quite nicely. I didn't plan on using an amp, so I didn't need high power handling, and the integrated crossover simplified install. Sound quality is improved over the stockers, but not concert hall. Volume does well, driven by an aftermarket kenwood receiver. Don't expect much in the way of bass, or you will probably be disappointed.
Pros:
Cheap. Easy to install. Integrated crossover takes the hassle out of installing components.
Cons:
average power handling, not an issue unless you plan on using an amp.

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Bought these since they were on sale to replace the old & crusty front speakers in my volvo. I was very impressed with the built in crossover and how easy it was to mount up the tweeters to my door panel. The sound is amazing, clear and crisp with decent bass.
Pros:
Price! Sound quality
Cons:
none so far

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Well, I had anticipated a decent improvement to my car's sound system from my stock speakers that were wearing out, but I was disappointed. The speakers have absolutely no bass! You will barely even tell they are working. tweeters are weak too. Not what I was expecting at all. Dont go with these if you want better sound.
Pros:
ehh new I guess
Cons:
Tweeters are weak, speaker have no bass whatsoever.

Rockford Fosgate Prime R152-S

Written By VictorP, Colorado on Tuesday, January 01, 2013
Installed in a 2010 Mazda 3
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Install in the wifes 2010 Mazda 3 wagon...Huge improvement over stock which had buzzing in driver's side at moderate volumne. Tweeters required removing stock molded in housing with a dremel, using the deeper backs for the tweeter, and securing them with a c-clip cut from the supplied ring for mounting. Tweeters aimed across the dash board produce highs without jangling the nerves. 5.5" round mounted easily with brackets supplied. Wiring was attaching spade connectors to supplied wire. Over all install was easly after gleening info from youtube. Results are fuller range of sound at all volumns.
Pros:
good price for a good set of speakers
Cons:
must be willing to modify for tweeters mounting buy some door panel retainers as a few will break

Written By Jeremy3892, Indianapolis, IN on Monday, July 23, 2012
Installed in a 1999 Mazda Miata
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
I bought these for my 99 Miata, thinking it wouldn't take much to fill the tiny cabin of the Miata, but I learned it's going to take a lot more than these. They hold the lines pretty well, but there's a lot of high end distortion, and so much is lost on the two-way. I have to say, if you have the money for anything with higher wattage, DO IT. These are not the speakers you're looking for.
Pros:
Decent low support
Cons:
Awful mid and highs, sound is tinny and harsh

Good, but not great.

Written By Ex., Capitol Heights, MD on Wednesday, May 23, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
These were installed in the front speakers of my 2012 Mazda 3. I was able to mount the tweeters in the sail panels. In any case, they sound decent ford their size and price. They do get a little distorted at the highest volume and can't handle much gain. Also, the tweeters are harsh. Still, a solid choice for the Mazda 3 if you don't want to shell out for Focals or do custom work.

Too Early To Tell

Written By Captlou, WI on Sunday, April 22, 2012
Installed in a 2003 KIA Rio Cinco
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Love to built in crossover. Called Crutchfield on a Sunday to get some help. These things did not come with any install info for the tweeters. In order to switch to the angle mount something had to come apart. The adviser suggested twisting it and I finally got them apart. Went pretty well from there. With limited speaker options I chose these for the rear in a hatchback. It's an experiment in progress.
Pros:
Built in crossovers
Cons:
Poor install instructions

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Great product. Easy to install and they sound great. I have these running off of an Alpine MRX-V60 and the power that comes out of them is amazing and the tweeters help the sound stage in my 2006 Ford Expedition. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a good component set of speakers
Pros:
easy to install, sounds great, tweeters have great power
Cons:
instructions are a little iffy as far as where what cables connect where.

not really worht it

Written By Envoy, WA on Saturday, October 15, 2011
Installed in a 2000 GMC Jimmy
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Bought these because the local shop suggested them. I have done speakers in the past, so I thought these would be no problem especially since there was an install kit and instructions. Nowhere does it show tweeter installation or breakdown or say modifications to stock locations REQUIRED!! I was replacing a factory Bose system, because the 2-way was blown, and do not think these are even half as good as the stock. My vehicle was not listed, but the adviser found the "correct" speakers by using a different trim level. Rear speakers not even close, stock was a 6" with a trim piece to 6 1/4" and I WAS SOLD 6 3/4". The new mount ring was 1/4" outside any mounting area. If I were to modify they still would not fit because the depth was also different and the door panel would mash the speaker. The instruction are worse than the foreign language translated instruction in any assembly required product you buy. They are so vague, the cost benefit of "free" says it all. I would not do the internet thing again in a similar situation. I would rather pay a higher price locally and return them when they fail to be what was promised.

These speakers sound a lot better than I thought they would. Big Sound from little speakers. Very little modification to fit in the stock locations in rear of my '88 BMW 325. I would recomend them to anyone with a tight space to fill. Liked that the crossover was built in and not a seperate componate

The Rockford Fosgate Prime R152-S Speakers were a pleasant Surprise, They were a perfect fit and no modifications were needed not even for the tweeters. The sound is very rich and full they compliment The Rockford Fosgate Punch 1692 perfectly and you can definitely turn up the volume they still sound Good. Great buy for the Money.

Good sounding speaker for the price. The tweeters are especially nice
compared to the stock units in my GMC. Installation in my truck was not plug

Was just looking for a small woofer and component was the only way to get it. Tried the tweeter and the stock one sounded better so i stayed with my stock tweeter. As far as the woofer, sounds a little week to me. If you are looking for a wow! these speakers are NOT it.
