When it comes to car subwoofers, Rockford Fosgate raised the bar in terms of high quality affordable subwoofers. These Punch Stage 2 subwoofers are the perfect combination of price and deep bass. With a RMS power rating of only 200 watts, these subwoofers are designed for lower wattage amplifiers. However, don’t be fooled by the lower power rating. These efficient woofers are fully capable of producing crisp, clean bass that will shake you to the core. As with all of the other Rockford subwoofers, they have packed patented technology into this sub to enhance the performance of the subwoofer. The Venturi-effect cooling system helps to keep the voice coil cool, while the double stacked ferrite magnet help maintain the power. On the face of the woofer is a polypropylene cone and ABS/Acrylic dustcap. A little further out is the half-roll sealed poly-foam surround that assists with the high excursion of the motor assembly. For those that need a low wattage and high output subwoofer, the Rockford Fosgate Punch P2D48 is the choice subwoofer.

This speaker is an excellent replacement for the 8" Mark Levinson subwoofer that crapped-out of my Lexus ES300. I was initially concerned that the replacement sub should be free-air, however, I found that with this speaker- its not a requirement. I have the speaker wired for 4 ohms...I initially thought the system would require 2 ohm wiring...its a good thing that this speaker is a dual voice coil and I was able to wire it at 4 ohms.

I bought these to save trunk space in my Scion tC. Sounds amazing. Can't believe these are 8's. Powered by a Kicker 550.2 amp, sound like 12's. Very happy with these.

March 13, 2010 One P2D8 is plenty of speaker for a small truck cab.

Great speakers! We built a behind the seat, vented box for a Toyota Tacoma extended cab and used one P2D8 and the results were amazing. No one believes it is only an 8” woofer and many times I’ve had to show them the 8” speaker. One P2D8 is plenty of speaker for a small truck cab. I have tried other 8” that are in the same category, but the RockFord has the best overall tone, powerful, full bass response.

I can't say enough about the P2 Model. Interestingly enough, I like them better than the set of P3's that I bought. You'll get your money's worth out of these babies, especially if you are buying them for a truck.

Customer Testimonial

Found an outstanding price-much lower than any other online retailer. Got all the installation stuff free and FREE shipping, which is nice in a time when so often we see super low prices, offset by ridiculous shady shipping fees. Great site-will buy from here again in the future.
