Man, it's rare to find an installer like this who pays attention to all the little details. I used to do installs 15 years ago. I've done amp installs here and there for my cars but haven't done one in few years. I've never seen a fuse holder mounted like that before. Great, superb, clean install.

installed mine, u can say that again

@cheapme1850 2 года назад

I bought the 8” version of these for two of my vehicles and love them. The smaller size made it easy to put in the corner of the trunk in one car and under the storage shelf in another to keep luggage and storage space. I see a lot of folks on YT are just tapping into existing speakers and not using the remote but I have an aftermarket head unit so I ran the RCAs and remote wire. I’m no bass head so I can’t compare it to the trunk fillers/rattlers some folks love but personally I’m very satisfied and they definitely make a difference.

just got lucky and found a p300-12 open box brand new for 110$ with warranty. your video gave me the idea for this thanks for the information... love your channel

Wow great install @fivestarcarstaereo! I just bought the 12 online and received it in the mail today. Getting installed by a local shop but was cruising reviews for fun. I love how you take the time to give others info and comment back to questions. Good people are still out there! Thanks for being one of them.

Awesome install, I'm getting this done tomorrow, in my LS, hoping it turns out as clean as your install did. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.

@LittleJimmyNorton 3 года назад

Thank u. For making a video that actually explains the plugs on the box. By far the best video on this speaker on RU-vid. Every other video on RU-vid is 50-60% watch me run the power cable.....

@NotSoFast71 4 года назад

I got one of these (the 12" version) coming Thursday for my 2011 Ranger extended cab. It's replacing a 13 year old 100 watt 8" powered Bazooka that has developed a short in the female power cable receptacle. Got the whole interior already covered in sound dampening material. I can't wait.

Dean, Would a p300-10 sound decent in a ezgo golf cart or would you recommend a vented enclosure?

@lordclancharlie1325 3 года назад

I bought the vented enclosure and ended up filling up the aperture with synthetic foam. My advice : get the sealed enclosure, you'll gain extra space and the sound is much better with this series

@charles8081 Год назад

hey man, I watched this video after I had a stereo install company put mine in, great job, THE ISSUE with this video is that I heard you say you can use the same wiring set up if you need to move it to change it to another size RF say 10 inch. Well I did that and it just cost me 400.00 dollars, when I unpluged the first and plugged in the second one it blew the amp, Thanks much!!!!!!!!

Great video! I just recently purchased the P300-12 in my 2002 monte Carlo SS with aftermarket radio and wanted to ask if it's necessary to adjust any of the settings on the Sub, Specifically the gains?

@bradtaylor8981 6 лет назад

Hi, great video! I’m adding the 10” to a 2016 Acura TLX. Two questions: are you saying I don’t need to buy a separate kit to connect the factory sub wires to the rca outputs, I can just splice them? Second, can I use the smart turn on feature instead of running a remote wire or do I still need a remote?

@Vezmerize 4 года назад

I have really enjoyed your videos in preperation for the arrival of my 12t. I purchased a copper covered aluminum kit with 6.7 mm diameter power and ground. Is this overkill? Thanks for your time!

@mikekinsleydbd 4 года назад

Can you use wires after factory amp to factory sub for input on this box even tho it's only one and no left or right?

@gusj7803 6 лет назад

Just curious about where you set the low pass x-over for the sub? What level of Hz do you normally set the low pass x-over for the Rockford p300-10 ? Also, where do you set the low pass x-over for the Rockford p300-12? (Assuming an aftermarket head unit that can act as a crossover for 4 aftermarket 6.5" coaxials in the doors) I assume setting the x-cover no higher than 120 Hz? So, turn the x-over knob to the 11:30 o'clock position?

im wondering how can I set up the gain the x-over and the bass boost for maximum power and better performance. can you give me a tip? I set up my factory radio with the bass level in the minimum volume, my p300-12 rockford fosgate Gain is in the minimum Level my x-over is right in the middle and finally my Bass Boost is all the way up to the maximum volume. can you tell me if I got it right? thank you

@monarchthedj8357 5 лет назад

Quick question, would I be able to disconnect the power & audio cables from this sub enclosure and take the sub out of the car when I need to transport big items? Someone once said the power cables would start a fire if I turned the car on with them not connected to a sub so I just want to make sure I heard correctly...

@Dabz2084 7 лет назад

I just got mine yesterday (p300-12). Will install this on my 98 oldsmobile this weekend. I'm using an aftermarket head unit (jvc kd330)...pretty excited. :)

@FiveStarCarStereoInc 7 лет назад

+Kwik Silber let us know how it goes!

@cubancartel508 7 лет назад

Kwik Silber for any chance you have an engine sound from the subwoofer? I'm trying to fix my problem! Thank you

@Dabz2084 7 лет назад

I haven't had the time to install the p300 yet. I'd probably install it when I get back from vacation. I'll keep you posted. Engine sound (humming) while playing music with a sound set up is more often an alternator problem or open/ grounded wiring somewhere. Power lines should run along the driver side, audio lines should run along the passenger side.

@Dabz2084 7 лет назад

Alex Alonso I just finished with my install today. Mine didn't had any humming sound while playing any music. The p300-12 sounds pretty good, just enough not be a douche to your neighbors peace and quite space. 😊

@cubancartel508 7 лет назад

Kwik Silber thank you for your info, i fix my problem! Was my factory amp of my car for some stupid reason the factory think is a good idea to bring inside the cabin an Exhaust sound from all the speakers and of course when I installed the p300-12 that exhaust sounds when way to loud from the subwoofer amp! So I find the wire in the stock amp and I cut that bitch off! Right after that was like magic!! No more exhaust sounds! Thank you again for writing me back!

@stefaniepalomino7037 5 лет назад

I just busted my speakers the other day by them going too loud. Its the exact one from the install. I've had them for 4 years and love them. Is this something i can change out myself? I was going to start by changing the red fuses? Tear

Question Regarding the p300-10 ; when I hooked up the 3-10 positive wire to the battery the car would not start..unhook the positive wire car started. In the on or accessory position I do get a blue light at the amp . I ground the amp to a spot in the trunk..could this be my problem??? A bad ground???

The 12 fits in the back of my wrangler TJ barely. But I want bass. Would the ten be ok? A little more room. The 12 fits. The 12 is just as expensive as the 10 on amazon now. Would the 12 sound worse than the 10 within the confines of the 2 door wrangler? what about the top off summer pumpin? Would you say, just get the 12?

@SpylahMusic 5 лет назад

Hello, my Rockford Fosgate P300-10 when the Auto Turn On is set to auto there is a loud bass noise when I turn off my car, but when it is set to DC 12v there is a loud bass noise when I start the car. I drive a 2013 Honda Accord Sport with a stock stereo. We spliced the back speakers’ wire and connected the sub to the splice wire. We also noticed the when the sub is set on auto will power on if we move the sub. Do you have any idea what could be causing the noise?

@easttennstudent 4 года назад

I bought one of these, the 12-inch version several years ago. It performs many times better than expected. Recently the wires on the back of the speaker have became detached and I can't repair it. The amp is still good and I would like to find a replacement 12-inch speaker to put in there but the hole for the speaker is slightly smaller in diameter than a regular 12. does anybody have any recommendations for a speaker I can put back in there?

@RayRiv73 6 лет назад

Isnt it bad to run the rca wires with the power wire along the side panels? Wont it create noise distortion?

Good stuff! Wgen making the harnesses, is there any concern with "noise" from running power and RCA together?

@MrNigelbell 5 лет назад

You just help Rockford sell another one, great review... Looking to fit into a Hybrid Toyota C-HR, I believe 300 rms / 30 amp is the maximum for a hybrid. Rockford do not give the specific amp details for the box on their web site, but assume it will run OK without affecting the Hybrid system.

Whats the difference other than its size? Does sound really change between the 2? I noticed that their specs are about the same. Need help deciding which one to get. I do listen to all kinda of music if that helps. Thanks!!

@lordsauto 2 года назад

Does it have to be factory speakers to hook it to? Or can you also use aftermarket speaker for hookup to turn on the amp? I'm confused

@Bradbssargdons 3 года назад

I just installed this and tapped into the suggested front right speaker wires. Everything looks good. Sub works but it barely hit... Im 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.

@tylersmith2874 5 лет назад

@MrBoogerRed 6 лет назад

I'm looking to add a Rockford p300-12 to factory radio in a 2007 Nissan Sentra (6 speakers, non-Rockford). I see PAC has an amplifier integration interface/adapter (part: AOEM-NIS2) that should allow me to use low level/RCA inputs. However the details for that adapter AOEM-NIS2 on PAC's website state it only supports Sentra's from 1995 - 2006. Do you know if AOEM-NIS2 adapter can be used for a 2007 Sentra? Or is there a different interface I should check out? Or... am I limited to using high level inputs & tapping the speaker wires if I want to keep the factory radio?

@clintcurtis9630 6 лет назад

If I put one of these in my car with the stock stereo, should I use a line out converter and go with low level input or use high level? Your advice would be appreciated

@dan665_ 4 года назад

Low level inputs usually have higher quality, but coming out of a stock head unit, there really won't be any difference. Use a hi/lo converter if you want to have an adjustable bass knob. If you're fine with using the head unit to control bass for all speakers at once, then you won't need a converter. I know I'm a year late but I hope I could help.

I dont want to take up much space as its a family car and we need all the space we can get. The factory Speaker provide quite alot of bass but i was wondering about the main difference between the 10 and 12. I mainly listen to Rap and some sad music with some low end bass. I dont want something that will rattle windows and make the car rattle/squeak. Whats my best option. Thanks. Not sure if youll see this message.
