Rockford Fosgate PUNCH P3SD2-12 subwoofer
The Rockford Fosgate P3S are 12" subwoofers with a shallow installation depth. So even when space is at a premium, you'll get a premium experience. The engineers at Rockford Fosgate know that not all vehicles are the same, and for many types of vehicles, subwoofers with a deeper installation depth are not an option . So the user could only reach for shallow subwoofers, which previously meant saying goodbye to good bass. But that has changed! Today, you can listen to great bass even in vehicles with limited space, and thanks to the dual voice coil, any configuration is possible. Shallow woofers are specially designed for vehicles in which it is not possible to use ordinary woofers.

| RMS powerThe RMS power of the subwoofer is the constant power of continuous use of the subwoofer. If the power is exceeded for a longer period of time, irreversible damage may occur, or to burn out the voice coil of the subwoofer. | 400 W |
| Max. (maximum performancePeak performance , which the subwoofer can play momentarily (approx. 0.5 s), for example when hitting drums in a song. If the maximum power is exceeded, damage can quickly occur, or to burn out the voice coil of the subwoofer. | 800W |
| Sensitivity (SPL 1W/1m)Subwoofer sensitivity or efficiency. The sensitivity of the subwoofer is given in decibels (dB) and, in simple terms, means that the higher the value, the lower the demands on the power of the amplifier. This is a de facto rating of how a subwoofer converts watts to sound. Sensitivity ratings are in noise level measured at 1 meter from the subwoofer using 1 W (watt of power) or using 2.83 volts at the source at 1 meter. A higher decibel level means the subwoofer is louder with less power. For every 3 dB increase in sensitivity, the subwoofer requires half the power to reproduce the same volume. For example, if an 88 dB subwoofer needs 300 watts to produce a certain volume, then a 91 dB subwoofer needs only 150 watts to reach the same efficiency. | 85 dB |
| ImpedanceImpedance - measurement of electrical resistance. When buying a subwoofer, it is very important that everyone make sure that the impedance matches the amplifier that you are connecting to it. For subwoofers with a double voice coil, we recommend following the information in the advice center! Example: A 2 Ohm subwoofer cannot be connected to an amplifier that is only stable up to 4 Ohms. A 4 Ohm subwoofer can easily be used on an amplifier that is stable up to 2 Ohms. Connecting a 4 Ohm subwoofer to an amplifier that is stable up to 4 Ohms also without problems. The most common subwoofer impedance is 4 Ohm. | 2 + 2 Ω |
| Subwoofer diameterThe diameter of the subwoofer is indicated on the screw holes. The overall outer diameter of the subwoofer is usually 1-2 cm wider, depending on the size category of the subwoofer. For a 30 cm subwoofer, the outer diameter incl. protective rubber 31.8 cm and in the 25 cm subwoofer it is 26.5 cm incl. protective rubbers. | 300mm (12") |
| Subwoofer mounting depthThe mounting depth of the subwoofer is measured from the bottom edge of the magnet to the bottom edge of the subwoofer's metal or cast basket. | 92.50 mm |
| Fs - resonant frequencyFs - is the lower resonant frequency. This parameter is the de facto free air resonant frequency of the subwoofer. Simply put, it is the point at which the weight of the subwoofer's moving parts equals the force of the subwoofer's suspension while it is in motion. If you've ever seen a piece of string start to hum uncontrollably in the wind, you've seen the effect of reaching a resonant frequency. The weight of the moving parts and the stiffness of the suspension (surround and spider) are key elements that affect the resonant frequency. As a general rule, a lower Fs indicates a subwoofer that would be better at reproducing low frequencies than a subwoofer with a higher Fs. However, this is not always the case, as other important parameters of the subwoofer also enter the resulting sound. | 34 Hz |
| Vas - equivalent volume of airVas - represents the volume of air that, when compressed per cubic meter, acts with the same force as compliance (CMS), suspension in a certain subwoofer. Vas is one of the most complicated parameters to measure, as changes in air pressure are affected by conditions of relative humidity and temperature. Another way to describe what VAS is: try using a subwoofer and find a baffle that is the right size to return the air with the same stiffness to the same resonance. The size of this box is equal to you. There are, of course, other parameters, but they are not so necessary for the exact calculation of the enclosure. Resonance frequency and Q-parameter values are also important when building enclosures. | 35.3 l |
| Xmax + -Xmax - the maximum deflection of the subwoofer diaphragm in one direction – it is not a sum, or an abbreviation for the maximum linear deflection. The subwoofer output becomes non-linear as the voice coil begins to leave the magnetic gap. | 8.4 mm |
| QtsTotal Q-factor of driver is a total quality factor, it includes both parameters Qes and Qms (electrical Qes and mechanical Qms). It varies in values from approx. 0.08 to 0.6, exceptionally up to 3. The Qts of the subwoofer is calculated in the same way as, for example, a pair of parallel resistors, so the result is decisively influenced by a smaller value that cannot be exceeded, which is usually Qes. | 0.67 |
| MassSubwoofer weight in kilograms. The weight is usually given net, i.e. without packaging. | 6.01 kg |
