Taking Punch to a Higher Stage
Sonic Electronix is now carrying the brand new 2011 line of Rockford Fosgate Punch P3 Series Car Audio Subwoofers. The P3D4-12 Punch Series 12" Subwoofer has a peak power rating of 1200 watts and a RMS rating of 600 watts. This sub will produce some earth shaking bass and is constructed with an anodized aluminum cone and a vertical attach surround technique. This woofer is also equipped with a 2-1/2" Voice coil and a protective PVC textured magnet cover. Add some bumps in your trunk and enhance your cars stereo system with this Rockford Fosgate Punch Series Subwoofer.
Anodized Aluminum Voice Coil Former
By using an anodized aluminum voice coil former on their subwoofers, Rockford Fosgate is able to dissipate heat from the voice coil more efficiently. A hot voice coil can melt the adhesive bonds, which will lead to eventual subwoofer failure. The aluminum voice coil former acts as a heat-sink to dissipate thermal build-up on the voice coil cool during high SPL conditions.
Conforms to CEA-2031
Rockford Fosgate has built this subwoofer to conform to the CEA-2031 loudspeaker power handling industry standards. This means that you can trust the subwoofer to have the capacity to safely handle the continuous (RMS) power rating. Having a CEA-2031 power handling is important when matching a subwoofer to an amplifier because the power ratings are accurate.
Stitched Tinsel Leads
To improve the reliability and performance by reducing fatigue and possible shorting, Rockford Fosgate has stitched the tinsel leads to the spider. The multipoint periodic stitching lead wires reduce the mass of the tinsel leads to spread the stress over a greater area. This improves the reliability and performance of the subwoofer.
VAST: Vertical Attach Surround Technique
In order to increase the surface area of the cone without causing any installation issues, Rockford Fosgate designed the Vertical Attach Surround Technique (VAST). By redesigning the manner in which the surround adheres to the basket, these speakers gain up to 25% more effective radiating cone area. This improves the nominal efficiency and maximum output.

I installed these in my friends truck on the RE audio dts 1500 and that amp really makes these things quake. Box tuned to 34 hz and they get down. Great speaker for the price.

I have 2 of these hooked to a hifonics brutus 1600 watt amp at 1 ohm and they slam. I have had a lot of different subs and by far Rockford has my vote.

I just got these about a week ago and WOW! Got 2 on a Hifonics Brutus 1200.1 @ 1 ohm and they hit hard, loud, yet clean. I know these bad boys can take much more than they're rated. The gain is a little over half and the sound is incredible and they're barely moving! Maybe moving up to a larger amp in the future but I'm more than satisfied for now.

Im loving this sub! Right now I have it in a ported box wired down to 2ohms on my old fosgate amp and at 300watts. It's bumpin' in the back of my lincoln. Definitely going to get a bigger amp and another one of these! I always recomnd Rockford Fosgate to people who aren't sure what to get because they sound good and bump hard. By-the-way, this sub is pretty big so you might have to do some work to get it to fit in boxes you get from Sonic.

This Sub sounds awesome in my Mitsubishi 3000 GT. I installed it in a non ported box because I like mostly Rock music and a tight bass sound. This sub performs beyond my expectations in price and quality. Thanks Sonic.
