Rockford Fosgate Punch P3-1X12 Loaded 12" Subwoofer in Ported Enclosure

Finally got this sub installed today with fosgate mono amp(rated 500 but certificate sys its really 660watt rms@1 ohm). I have this running off my new JVC dd head unit. For install my head unit amp gain is on low(to minimize max volume), bass/loudness off, and amp is only set to barely 25% gain. Sub isn't even broken in yet. You should've seen the smile on my face. The installers was asking me where I get my set up from..lol damn, that 1 speaker hits so hard in my magnum. Literally made hairs on my arm stand up. It brought my system to a whole new level. I'm running fosgate power 6x9 in front doors(100w rms) and Kenwood 7 in. 2-way in the rear(80w rms). The door and rear speakers powered by JVC head unit solely. I cut on the high pass filters on those. My system sounds Amazing now. I can hear my highs n midst crisp n clear and the bass hits perfectly. Not muddy sounding and drowning out midst n highs. I could go on and on. In a nutshell, I highly recommend this speaker. The amp I have is fosgate 500bd. For this to be the first day, gain barely 25%, and speaker not even broken in yet, it sounds Sick! Hard to describe but definitely shakes whole car and mirrors. On amazon this speaker is a great deal. March it up with a great amp and u good to go. I can't wait till after I broken it in. Then I can raise the gain and cut JVC head unit gain on high(to allow volume to go to 50 instead of 30 on low). Once again amazing how hard and good this one speaker hits. My coworker has some setup with like 2 10's and 2 12's. Cheaper stuff though. I can tell already, with my setup at not even full potential or broken in, mines hits harder and sounds better. Its great to have big bass, but u got to have ur mids n highs right also. Real talk, buy this setup. This is a real review and not hyped up. Now if something goes wrong down the road, ill definitely update this review.

The biggest thing I want to make note of is that Rockford speakers always perform like their big brother. A 10 sounds like a 12, a 12 sounds like a 15, and so on. I have this sub wired into a 1000 watt 5 channel Punch amplifier. Running at 1 ohm, I’m easily getting 700 watts to the sub channel with 130-140 watts hitting each speaker channel (yes the math doesn’t equal 1000 but Rockford amps ALWAYS put out more watts than they are rated for.) I really can’t stress enough how important it is to pair a Rockford amplifier with their subs/speakers. I know the prime seems tempting, but you don’t get into their patented technology until the Punch and Power series. I’m running two one inch Power tweeters with 2 way Power 6.5s in the front doors and then 2 Power 3 way 6x9s in the rear. All of this is in a 2004 Corolla. (It’s ridiculous) On the first day of setting the gain I blew the blood vessels in my eyes due to the massive SPL their speakers create. You can’t tell you’ve rolled the windows down until you hit about 55, and even then you don’t lose your bass at all. It is an investment, but so so so worth it.

Every car or truck I've owned (over 22 years) has had a modified sound system. I consider myself fairly knowledgeable when it comes to car audio. I listen to just about all kinds of music and enjoy the extra power and volume. I have a large SUV with the dual Rockford P3 12's in a similar box. It sounds good and has held up to abuse well. When I got a new car my choice of this P3 was easy. I thought I knew what to expect, but the other setup is in a large SUV (Tahoe) and obviously has more volume to fill. I put this in a 2012 Camry Hybrid. The car has the upgraded JBL factory system which has an amplified 10 speaker setup and I wanted a little more boom to go with it - mission accomplished! I've gotten a little older and wasn't looking to blow the doors off anything, but this still has the ability if I get the need. It's matched up with a Rockford T500-1bdCP amp - at 1 ohm it's build sheet says it's putting out 811 watts. Since I added this to a Hybrid, I was concerned about battery drain so I added a cap. My local install shop tried to talk me out of it, but I figured it was cheap insurance. I also added a bass dial or knob to the amp and would strongly recommend that to anyone adding a dedicated sub amp. I keep it at it's lowest setting and only rarely dial it up. All the parts except the wire came from Amazon and I couldn't be happier. It's the best sounding car I've ever had and has the least modifications. You can't hear me from blocks away, but you'll know I'm passing

Rockford Fosgate Punch P3- … is great quality & value for money

I wanted to upgrade from my 2 10 inch p1's to something that could hit harder but still not take up a bunch of space in the trunk. Nothing against the p1's though, they are great subs that would let everybody know you're coming from a block away. I just wanted the low of a 12 inch woofer. At the same time I wanted to have something around the same wattage as the p1's. The p3 wasn't my first choice, I wanted something from JL Audio but eventually I just went with what I knew was good. I wanted to get the best punch series woofer, so I bought the 12 inch P3. Aesthetically speaking it looks really good and I like the grill on the port, some don't though. I have it hooked up to an Audiopipe APSM-1300 @ 1 ohm. It's a "mini" amp that pushes 1000 @ 1 ohm ( probably only 800 true watts) so it's over powering the sub a good amount. I'm making sure to be careful not to blow it. On to the sound. This thing absolutely rocks for one sub. I hooked it up and was like oh okay sounds good. Then I just kept turning up the volume and it sounded better than the P1's. I knew it immediately and cracked a little smile because I knew that I made a good decision.

Sounds good

Put this in my 2017 Chevrolet Cruze, fits perfectly In the back. Needed some bass to my system so decided to go with this, couldn’t be happier. Adds that perfect punch for your system without being over the top. I wanted something that would be perfect without touching the “big 3”, and this subwoofer was perfect. The quality is just crazy, I will forever be a fosgate fan! I have it paired with an audio pipe apmn-1300, and a planet audio PcBlk2.0 capacitor, straight bumps! 5*!

Quite the sub. Power hungry and loud. It hits every bass note and always surprises me. I have it hooked up to a Rockford 700watt amp to 1 ohm with farad capacitor. it can easily push 1000w if need but it don't have the power.

Top, sehr solide und stabil verbaut, macht ordentlich Druck schnelle und sichere Lieferung

I am EXTREMELY satisfied with this subwoofer. I can’t even explain how loud and cool it feels to have this

Sounds awesome . Nice and compact compared to my duel 12’s . I Would shop around for a better price on this

Brutal und klar in allen Frequenzbereichen

Been trying to get ahold for return and buddy Is ignoring I'll be writing more reviews
