I have the same model in a 2001 Lexus ES300 and its perfect for me, No ghetto trunk rattle, still good clear bass n sound. I leave it at about 60%-70% on the quick adjust knob below my dash. Mine is lying on its back in my trunk bc that's where they put the velcro, haven't had any issues with sliding around.
i got the P300 12.. 179.00 100 for install . i love the bass,... car stereo shop wanted 1600 for 2 amps 2 woofers and a box installed, think of the saving i got.... much more happier
Sure thing. I had 2 Kenwood W3012s paired with a Kenwood KAC 9104D. I loved the subs and the amp, they treated me very well. The new incarnations of what I had are also very good!
Sounds pretty good... looking at one of these for my access cab truck. From the outside it looks like the speaker itself is actually a prime series unit. I wonder if they just put a cheap prime sub into a box with an amp and labeled it as a punch series unit. If you have the time I would be interested in seeing a video of the sub removed from the box and confirmed as a true punch series unit.
Rockford fosgate sells this unit on there website it's got an internal 300 watt amp. if you wanted to you could open the box somehow and see if its bridgable if so 600 amps would really help the thump. if not just get a wire hookup from you local speaker shop and get a better amp.
i have this sub (in 12) and i actually fried the first one i had and had to send it back to Amazon. I had it connected wrong. I only had it wired to one 6x9 instead of both of them lol. i have another one now and wow this thing really gives me what i was looking for. you won't win any awards with it but it does sound really good without being overwhelming.
I just picked up an 05 MGM and I like the sound of that stock paper cone sound system. It's missing some highs doesn't get down to extreme lows but sounds great in between. Listening to the classic rock radio station and it's like I'm here sounds I haven't heard before or haven't heard in a long time.
Try switching your phase switch back to zero, the bass sounded a little muddy. I like that sub; Thinking of picking one up this month. You decided against the RCA option over the high level input? In this case, you do not need the remote on connection at all. Did you connect the remote on to the head or the fuse box?
I just installed this and tapped into the suggested front right speaker wires. Everything looks good. Sub works but it barely hits... I mean BARELY hits. I have to put my ear over the port to actually hear it. I have played with the settings, phase shifter, gain on unit, bass boost on unit, gain control knob via remote. This is the second pair of speaker wires I have tapped into and its the same. What am I doing wrong? It almost sounds like zero bass has been added, but I can hear it firing.
Thanks for the video and installation notes. I am considering the P300-12 and your comments were helpful. I am also curious about your previous system. You mentioned dual 12" subwoofers and an 1800 watt amplifier for $200. Can you share the details of this setup with us? That sounds like a great deal too. Thanks.
I guess I'm the only one that realizes the p300 has a prime subwoofer in it. Pretty sure it's an R2D4. I own a P3 and this looks nothing like a punch series subwoofer. just letting you people know it isn't a true Punch woofer
Cool video. You persuaded me to get this but I opted for the p300-12. Man this thing has some clean base hits. Anyway, I have mine hooked up to an aftermarket stereo in my car. Got it powered to my battery and grounded in my trunk. I also have it connected to some RCA wires to the back of my head unit. My question is this. The blue light on mine is always on even when the car is off. I think on the sub I have it set to come on when it detects an audio signal. This was the only option that kicked the power on. Is this light being on all the time how it should be? Thanks again.
jasko_ I had the same problem, 1 day I opened my trunk and the woofer started making a loud humming so i switched it to DC to detect 12v instead of signal.
i too am interested in the mobility of this type of setup. i had a good 12" in the back of my suv, but it got jacked... My car already has a factory installed 8" infinity subwoofer, but its just not the same... do you think this would be any better than the factory sub?
I dont know alot about the enclosure amp included setups but that 10 doesnt look anything like a p3 10". At least i dont think. 150 would be underpowered for a p3 punch sub wouldnt it? You said it was 300 watts i just assume 150 x2.
does it drain your car battery much, i just installed mine and i dont want my car battery to be dead one day so do you think its a good idea to get a separate battery for it
Anthony Graham It will turn off when you turn off your car, as long as you have the remote wire wired properly to your head unit, and not jumped off a 12v source.
Let me see if I got this right? You never have to touch the factory radio in the car? You just wire the speakers wires to your speakers that are located in the back of the car? If so, then wow, that will definitely make the DIY job very easy. Please respond asap. Thank you!
most powered subs have a "high level" input option where you split the wires going to the rear speakers right into the sub's input. its not a very good way to do it but it works.
One suggestion - Make sure people people are using good speakers when they listen to your video. Also make sure your using a good mic. Most camcoders have one, but many cellphones don't, decent mic doesn't cost much. The 10" can be had for less than $200 if you shop around.
Thanks for review. I'm thinking about getting this... Now that it's been a couple of weeks since you posted this do you have any further thoughts on the sub?
One question for you, explain the wiring. I want to purchase one. Do you need rca cables for this to the back of the deck? And what do you need to wire this?
Holy shit, dude... I mean... no one can ever really replicate bass production, in a youtube video. But... you might have actually picked the absolute worst song possible, in the entire history of youtube.
I installed this same amp in my 2000 civic..did everything needed to do for completion. But when I tried to start the car it would not start and no amp sound?? Removed the positive amp wire and car started...question could this be a bad grd?? I didn’t check the fuses in the amp BTW .
I had this professionally installed (didn’t really ask for it) and it’s a gigantic disappointment properly classified as Better than Nothing. I get better performance out of Altec Lansing 8 inch speakers. If you say otherwise, I suspect you are trying to save face.
+Mike Tech I can't say I have. For around 300$ it sounds like a decent deal. I was going to get it for my first car but I didn't end up buying it because it would've voided my warranty.
And yeah if u take song request can I suggest 2 the 1st one is Go hard by Lecrae And the 2nd one is A mili by Little Wayne let me know what u think and mention my name in the fid so I know that I found the right vid that u posted to my Request thank man and hope 2 hear it soon PEACE. Y
