Slams without talking up too much space

Really limited space in my 2door Ford truck but now I got the bass and can slide the seat all the way back . The sub slams and now I got the leg room I need

Just enough for what I purchased

To be perfectly honest the previous reviews did not sound too great some works saying that they couldn't handle much power blasy blase but if you are wanting something that will shatter the windows this is not for you if you're wanting something good for a small space like a pickup cab this works very well.

Awesome sounds for my truck

Rockford Fosgate speaker

Great speaker for my truck sounds real great with a lot of power. It's a good fit that's why I went with Shallow speaker for my truck.

Awesome subwoofer

Used this with the following: Chevy Silverado 1500 Custom truck 2021 Crew Cab, 7inch LCD, non-bose systems. Everything is Rockford Fosgates bought here on Crutchfield. Writing this review to at least help one person out as I was trying to find answers for myself on what system would replace my stocks and sound good. Here it is and my system sounds awesome. This system I built is good for someone that just wants clearer louder sound and a little umph in bass (pounds pretty well and I only keep my volume at 25%. I did the install by myself with help from Crutchfield. Front Speakers - Rockford Fosgate P165-SE (I also did a review on this), Rear Speakers - Rockford Fosgate P1675. Subwoofer - Rockford Fosgate R2S-1X12. 5 Channel Amplifier - Rockford Fosgate Punch P1000X5. The Amplifier RMS is just a little over powered for my speakers by not much but I read that it's better, my experience says it works well (Rockford support says it works just set gains properly). I kept the stock head unit (radio). I bought feet online and made it a down firing sub. Fits under back seat nicely. still haven't achored it to anything but it does not move.

I've been enjoying the quality in Rockford products. I put this in my 4Runner my previous sub was a 12 in P3 in a Mazda 3 and I wanted to save cargo space so I thought I'd give this sub a shot and with all new Rockford door speakers and amp running this I'm impressed it's no little thump. The side mirrors still shake and making my audio upgrade sound really full and noticeable.

Perfect entry level sub

Great entry level sound. I bought a 2017 Tundra SR5 CrewMax with the standard audio system. Had to upgrade. I installed Kenwood excelon amp and door speakers then eventually this RF sub. Perfect for my needs. Bumps just enough to not sound annoying.

Not what you'd expect from Fosgate!

Not what you would expect from Fosgate. These things are absolute garbage! A little 300w amplifier at half power bridged, these won't take it. Within 1 minute or under, mind you with heavy metal playing, the amp goes into safe mode. I had to back the power on the amp the whole way back to slightly over 1/4. at around 90MHz. Total waste of time and money considering I wasted a whole day gutting the interior of my truck for these and get to waste tomorrow taking them (2) back out.

Rockford Fosgate R2S-1X12

Fits behind the rear seat of 2005 Chevy 1500 crew Cab, performs well for an entry level shallow sub in a sealed box. Driving it w/ a kicker cxa400 which is much more amp than the R2S can handle but will leave room for future upgrades.

Good value great sound improvement .

Great value added this with an appropriate amp to go with replacement door speakers running off head unit. The sub hits hard and does hit low notes . Not made to be booming blocks away or loudness competition. They are great if use as intended. I paired them with some R169's and R165 's three-ways running off the stock head unit. I am running an Audio Research amp on the sub and set the gains and crossovers correctly and it sounds great.

Rockford Fosgate R2S-1X12

Blew out in less than a year. Other reviews share the same experience. It sounded great and handled metal very well but rap destroyed it. I am pushing 350 watts at 2 ohms through a DQ61 signal processor. It sounded great but I would go with a ported enclosure if you primarily listen to rap or high bass music. Replacing the driver with a Polk DB1242 and hoping to have better luck. I would have given 3 stars but feel the need to take more away from the 5 star reviews shown.

I was going to go with the 10 inch however after careful thought I said wth. Glad I went 12. Tight bass and clear. Fits well in my 91 Ford Ranger. Goes good with the rest of my Fosgate speakers . Thanks Crutchfield you are the best.

I was skeptical that a 12 in this size box would perform well, but it really surprised me. It's one of a few pre-made choices to fit behind the rear seat in a crew cab 2007 Silverado Classic. I played a variety of music including jazz, rock, country, and rap and the sub sounds great with everything. I never thought it could play so low for a sealed box but again I was impressed.

Great for a 2013 F150 super crew

Loving this sub so far! It fit nicely under the rear seat of my 2013 F150 super crew. Powering it with 300 watts from a Pioneer amp, it will shake the entire truck. And it's nice, tight bass. Well worth the price!

Clean Bass

Great, clean bass. Doesn't thump like a ported enclosure and takes a little more power but doesn't distort as easily. For fitting in a tight space, with a shallow driver, it does great. I removed the jack/spare tire tool caddy and cut away part of the rear liner behind the rear seat of my 2004 F-250 crew cab. Fits perfectly and sounds great.

I love it!

I love it! I just installed this Sub along with a Jensen DUBa1450 amp last week, and I love the clean Bass it puts out. I am new to car audio so I wasn't sure what to expect... but I am very impressed. It fit perfectly under the rear seat of my 2012 F150 FX4 supercrew cab. It put out a nice, clean thump throughout the whole cab. I highly recommend this for someone who is on a budget. I believe I got an amazing deal for this Sub! Crutchfield always amazes me with the deals they have, and their technical support and customer service is the BEST! Thank you Crutchfield!

Quick and easy install! The only negative component would be that it did not quite fit in my truck, despite that it states to be made for trucks. However, it still sounds great and I am infinitely pleased with this purchase!

great for price and fit area needed

This skinny sub and enclosure fit neatly behind the back seats in my GM Crew Cab truck. Not super powerful but definitely worth the price if you are looking for some bass without taking up too much room. Note, two may fit, if you are looking for more thump.

Fills whats missing

I just received my Rockford R2S 1x12 in the mail today. I don't have my Rockford 250.1 hooked up yet, but this sub is running off from a pioneer GM-A6604 amp (90 Watts rms) and this sub hits pretty well for having roughly 1/3 of the recommended power. I almost went with 2 10's (and am still curious the sound difference) but this is a simple one sub setup. This is Installed in my 2014 Toyota Tundra Crewmax, it fits perfectly behind the rear seat. I highly recommend this to anyone who has swapped out their factory amp and looking for some decent thump (will not win any spl comps).

Very reasonable priced already enclosed subwoofer. No, it's not the hardest hitting bass available, but it definitely puts a nice clean sound throughout my single cab f150

Crutchfield response on

satisfied

Pretty good unit for the price. Sounds good using a Kenwood 600 watt amp. I don't like it quite as well as the Kenwood that I replaced due to size limitations in a new vehicle, but it will do. Sound is very "tight" and I like that but maybe a little too tight.

Crutchfield response on

Works for me

It took a bit of cutting and hacking to remove the jack mounts from behind the seats (I used a hacksaw to cut it to roughly 1/6 inch then a grinder to grind it down to be level with the truck, I used a crowbar to pull out the riveted mounts), along with pulling out the back carpet (just pull out both plastic pegs and bend it in the middle to get it out), but once I did this box fit in my '96 Single-cab Ranger. It's quite a tight fit, but it sounds good. It did lower the available space in the cab a bit, but not significantly. I'm quite happy with the audio quality of the subwoofer, and the fact that it's a 12" that fits in a tiny truck cab. Just to note, there is literally no space between the seat and the sub box. The sub box holds the seats in roughly a straight up position and the seats have to be pushed to latch upright. In hindsight I wish I would've gone with the 10" for my truck, but this one did fit and it does sound awesome.
