It's Called PUNCH For A Reason

The coldest blood runs through the veins of this Rockford Fosgate subwoofer. The 12" dual 2 ohms Punch Stage 3 subwoofer gives the cold shoulder to mercy when it comes to window rattling bass and clarity. The 2.5" dual voice coil receives its power from double stacked ferrite magnets throwing around 1,000 watts of peak power in your face. These energy thirsty Punch stage 3 subwoofers have a simple request; to receive lots of power. Their Kevlar fiber semi-pressed paper cones combine light weight with high strength to dramatically improve performance. Compressed sealed high excursion Poly-ether-ester makes up this woofers surround providing a strong yet elastic connection to the cone. To keep this beast cold blooded, Rockford Fosgate uses anodized aluminum voice coil formers to provide excellent heat dissipation. This punch woofer has stitched tinsel leads that withstand extreme duty cycles, fatigue and high current that is critical to its robust design. This 12" dual 2 ohms Punch Stage 3 subwoofer gives no mercy when it comes to performance, power handling, and construction quality. Just listen, and you will understand why its called a Punch!

I have owned 2 of these subs in a ported box now for 3 years. And they still suprise me with how loud they get. These subwoofers have already killed one amp and now are running connected to a 1700 watt monoblock Hifonics (wired at 2 ohms for 1200 watts RMS) and they hit HARDER than ANYONE in my town. Everyone that has a system and gets in my car can't believe it they always say "How are you hitting harder than me!?!??"

I am a diehard Rockford Fosgate fan now they sound better then any sub and hit soooo hard. REMEMBER rockford fosgate subs RMS are rated on how many watts it can handle for a FULL 24 HOURS. You could bump this at 6-700 watts for hours and it wouldn't even break a sweat

This is so bang for your buck you won't even know what hit you when your teeth are chattering and you can barely hold onto the steering wheel. Get this thing ported in about 1.7 cubit feet and it will hit every note up to the highs and down to the lows. I love this subwoofer. I have always loved Rockford Fosgate but this time they really showed me what they are worth. I honestly dont think I can blow it, I seriously tried and I'm using a T-1500 to push it. Screw all those 500 dollar sub woofers SCREW IT!! I'm telling you this will not let you down if you love metal, rock, some hip hop, rap, dubstep. Everyone that walks into my car LOVES it. Its good for bumping and just getting a full sound out of your audio system.
