i’ve had the p300-12 for exactly 4 years as of yesterday. got it as a gift to myself for saving more money than i’d planned. to this day I still get people asking me what setup I have. the looks in their faces when i say a single 12 inch is hilarious lmao i’ve even been accused of lying before. after running it at its limit for the better part of 4 years, i have to give it to RF. a durable speaker that never gives up and always turns heads.

Okay just purchased a 23 civic hatch sport. How will the p-300 sound in it? I recently sold two p3’s . Yes phenomenal subs n box. Preloaded fosgate box 1ohm. I didnt want to rattle my new car apart and have those monsters eat up my hatch.
Thanks for this video, great detail on both, I just ordered the Rockford Fosgate P300 12 for my Jeep Wrangler which has the stock radio and no sub, should give some good bass in such a small interior.
I highly recommend upgrading your door speakers and putting an amp on them. I did that with my pickup and added this sub and it sounds amazing. Sound is very rich, clear with great bottom end.
Just installed mine. This things bangs. Perfect for giving you a complete sound. Very clean bass, hits almost all the notes and frequencies except super low sub 20hz. Perfect amount of power without going nuts
Thanks for uploading this video. Never knew powered subwoofers could sound pretty good. Plus they don’t take up a lot of trunk space either. Definite plus!!
I'm really confused by the RF fuses, both being 10 amp. A 300W RMS class D amp in a car's 12V system will need a 30 amp fuse. Not sure what's going on inside that amp.
@@bayoudrummer9855 He said the JBL weights more than the P300 12 Rockford fostgate. I have the P300 10T and it weights 28lb. I am guessing the two subs he is reviewing weight over 30lb. I can say my P300 10T is really clear and loud, and I love it. I wish it was lighter in weight, but I have no complaints about the sound.
I have a question, I have the Rockford Fosgate P300 10 in my Wrangler but thinking about upgrading to the Rockford Fosgate P300 12. Would it really be worth the purchase though?
I have always run JBL speakers cus they’re great , Then again so is Fosgate . I added the 10” Fosgate to my 2021 f150 and it is really so awesome it’s hard to believe you’re getting so much bass from just one 10” sub . Super simple install .. as with any of these type speakers I’d suggest tightening all the hardware on the box because they’re not all as tight as they could be .. I’m sure the JBL sounds great too I just went with Fosgate because of the better price I found .. 300.00 shipped best deal at the time
"Cheesy looking dials", I'd rather not pay an increased price for fancy looking dials that I'm gonna 'set & forget'. This was a good review but I had to bust Your chops just a little bit, lol! Thanks for taking the time to do this video.
I would imagine that the JBL's bass carried farther but the Fosgate is obviously the clear winner. We'll, unless you're a 16yr old punk who's primary mission is to annoy others with your music.....LOL
You know what tool I need besides a screw driver to open up the fg p300? My amp is broke I need to replace it ): came from factory like that and can’t return it
This test can’t be accurate because you didn’t checked if you gave both subs the same power. The Fosgate played 8db louder this so much more power sent to the sub. Anyway good video though!!!!
Yeah I wasn’t trying to compare subs of that same power. One is ported and one isn’t which affects sound. I had the JBL and was wanting more bass so did the test. Not a lot of powered subs have the same power rankings and not a ton of good options in the powered sub segment. Thanks for watching!
@@73kokitch If you are using the same settings on each one and one produces 8db of more sound, it leads to suggest that one is better than the other in terms of sheer sound pressure. Very hard to quantitatively compare something like quality
@@73kokitch yeah man I noticed that too. The dbs were higher on the RF test before the bass even started. Leaves one to believe the stereo was turned louder for the RF test.
Real world would have set gains low pass and bass boost perfect as per instructions common to amp set up. This way each one set to a tee would be real world sound. Just matching settings to 2 different sized watt amps was imo no comparison because I know for a fact each one's set to a tea with sound totally different than just matching
Thank you so much for this awesome review, QQ I am planning to buy Rockford for my Challenger 2023, can it fit well in the trunk? since i measured is pretty tight the high I mean, Thank you

What powered sub would you recommend for the most hard hitting truck rattling bass? I’ve always been a kicker/fosgate person but I don’t know too much about powered subs 🤷🏻♂️
Good video! Would you recommend the rockford in a 10” or a 12” for someone who doesn’t listen to rap? I listen to mostly country and rock and it will also be in a challenger.
Totally noob question, since the power source for the P300 is directly from car battery.. so does this subwoofer keeps draining battery even when the car is off?
What's the best powered sub in your opinion? I'm looking at some for black Friday so far the only one i've seen that's on sale is the "JBL BassPro 12 Ported powered subwoofer with 12" sub and 150-watt amp" (which i think is the updated version of this JBL GT Bass Pro 12) on Cructhfield for $250 from $330. Im between with this one or Rockford Fosgate P300 12 or even the P500-12 if it goes on sale. Thanks in advance!
@@Gonin60 Thank you for the quick response! One more question, for music like Rap/hip-hop (music with more bass) do you still recommend the Rockford Fosgate over others? Thanks again!
It’s tough because we are comparing a ported box to a sealed box. I felt like rock sounded better on the RF. When it came to rap I felt they were both very similar. I liked how the RF disconnected and connected. I’m going to be doing another review soon of a ported subwoofer. I felt the RF is better but both are good options.
@@Gonin60 I also prefer the side amp of the RF over the back amp of the JBL. Definitely going with Rockford Fosgate now. Thank you again for your input/advice! I'll keep an eye out for that video/review! Happy Thanksgiving!
@@gucciserg8093 happy thanksgiving! If you do decide to order one please consider using my link in the video. It helps me be able to do more comparisons.
It’s 2023 now, would you still recommend this sub woofer over the JBL one? Also are there any other powered subs that compete, or are even better than these? Thanks in advance👍🏽👍🏽
@@peupeuguy310 they really don’t take up a ton of space. If you do decide to go under a seat I would look at their t series. I would look at measurements to ensure a good fit before purchasing.
Those are beasts. I had a Phoenix Gold when the original creators left and did that for them. At least that was the story I heard. Was a 25x4 that could be bridged to 250x2 measured like 10”x8” and got hotter than the sun. Pushed two 15” Kicker Comps in a big sealed box. Loudest truck in town.
@@Gonin60 love it! Sounds better then I expected it. I have mine paired with the p300x1 amp T2652-S door speakers I do have the sub power a little lower due to my work cage lol I didn’t fabric the back wall out overall it gets the job done no complaints.
Hello .... thank you for the information..... I am finding the grill for Rockford 12 inch subwoofer but not able to find any....thanks to u...i came through this video..... please let me know how can I buy the grill to protect my subwoofer.....? Also let me know does the grill distort sound or degrade sound in anyway ?
I hate the sealed rockford, my gf has one in her car. The bass is just not deep. That’s the thing with a ported box you can get lower frequencies! Maybe the ported rockford box is better. I wouldn’t buy it again! The power/ground quick connect is nice though, I’ll give it that.
Boston Acoustics!!! I’ve ran it for years in my home and in all my vehicles. I’m still running my SPG 555. I’ve been to only a few small competitions. The last one I went to they pretty much just gave me the trophy because as soon as they seen what I had, they said the competition was over.
I have two P-300 10's in my 2007 Pontiac G6. My car is a convertible so I didn't want to put speakers in the trunk. I ended up putting them on the floorboard behind the front seats. I wish I had room for the 12's but they were a little too big for what little space I had to work with. But the 10's sound great. I've had then for a little over 3 years now and I haven't regretted buying them at all.
101dB vs 111dB difference is not "little bit", there is a huge gap. Although RF is using a closed type cabinet, pressure level so much higher due to actual power.
I bought the P300 for my build. That thing flat out thumps. I wasn't looking to rattle mirrors at the light but that's what I ended up with... it is a little pricey but once you power it up you quickly forget about that price. The one thing I absolutely hate about it is that stupid and annoying bass control knob. It works fine but it is the ugliest most cheesy mounting piece of excrement I've ever had to mount in a car audio system. C'mon Rockford.. really? I ended up breaking it open and mounting it without the ridiculous oval odd ball case. But I'm glad I didn't get the P500 as it's simply not that much better than the P300.
@@Gonin60 no you don’t have to. I just wanted to make sure because you tube doesn’t work right sometime. I followed you on IG btw. I’m debating if I should put a system in my car. Nice vid though! The speakers are banging 🔥
My car had the upgraded B&O sound system and it sounds pretty good. A benefit of the challenger is having the battery in the trunk. It’s easier to connect etc.
@@Gonin60 yeah lol sorry some of my local slang, 🇨🇦 but for some reason the sub hits decent in lows but feels like it's not doing anything in the highs
If you click on the link for it in the description it should show on Amazon dimensions. I believe they make one for trucks and has a T in the title of it.
I have a 12" Kicker sealed and 600w amp with alpine component speakers in the pillars, doors and back deck. The 1st owner of mustang put it in. Sounds so clean. I do have a Punch, P3-1X12 , a 12” sub in a vented enclosure that would not fit the Mustang trunk. But it will fit my other car. Bought it from my neighbor.

Great insight!!
the p300 is now double what it cost like 5 years ago, crazy times
I just got mines as a gift to self. I'm in love with it
Okay just purchased a 23 civic hatch sport. How will the p-300 sound in it? I recently sold two p3’s . Yes phenomenal subs n box. Preloaded fosgate box 1ohm. I didnt want to rattle my new car apart and have those monsters eat up my hatch.
Either that or the p-500 ported 12????
I have the p300-12 IMO it is a better deal sounds better and also looks 10 x better than the JBL
Are you still happy with the Rockford Fosgate ?
Thanks for this video, great detail on both, I just ordered the Rockford Fosgate P300 12 for my Jeep Wrangler which has the stock radio and no sub, should give some good bass in such a small interior.
Right on! Enjoy!
I highly recommend upgrading your door speakers and putting an amp on them. I did that with my pickup and added this sub and it sounds amazing. Sound is very rich, clear with great bottom end.
Thank you bro awesome video helps me out a lot. Changed my mind I was going to get the JBL but I'm going with the Rockford instead.
They are both good. Ported vs non ported have different bass levels. The RF was louder and rock songs hit better with it.
I always been a Fan of Fosgate.. they make good amp
Yep!
Just installed mine. This things bangs. Perfect for giving you a complete sound. Very clean bass, hits almost all the notes and frequencies except super low sub 20hz. Perfect amount of power without going nuts
Awesome to hear!!
Which one did you go with?
Thx! I'm going to give the P300-12 a try. Always have purchased powered Bazooka tubes, so I'll give this one a try this time for my Jeep Wrangler.
Please order from my link if you don’t mind. It helps me out.
How did it go, do you like the P300 better than the Bazooka?
Just ordered the JBL for the simple reason it was on sale for €150 and the Rockford is €400 here lol, thanks for the review
Yeah I can’t blame you there
Rockford fosgate always rocks 👍 best in quality 👌
They are a great brand!
The Rockford is double the RMS though... that's not really a huge gain considering.
BUY Rockford Fosgate P300: amzn.to/3hCX75D
BUY JBL GT Bass Pro: amzn.to/3tl2Gdo
Not huge on Dodge but I will give it to them on the audio and infotainment system. That would be one of the best for a long time
Thanks
Personally I’d go with the fosgate any day
Yeah after having it in my car after this video I realize the RF is superior
@@Gonin60 update that in the description maybe?
Thanks for uploading this video. Never knew powered subwoofers could sound pretty good. Plus they don’t take up a lot of trunk space either. Definite plus!!

A little louder? Every 10db gain is double in loudness the RF is twice as loud
Good call
Is the Rockford Fosgate worth an extra $130? Wondering because I'm about to buy the JBL
I think so. If you just need some extra bass and don’t care so much then the JBL is just fine.
Does jbl has more bass or rocford
Just got the JBL for that lowww low.. thanks for the awesome video!

Lol a ported box make it distort more, it is used to tune the box to a specific frequency area.

@@iochefilms7618 I have no idea. I had them pofessionally installed.
Can I connect both of them 🤔
I wouldn’t. I would get your standard set up of a box with two subs and buy the amp separately.
Punch 150 that is..
👍
That JBL is way overpriced
I have the 12ib Rockford in my car. Just ordered the p 8 shallow for my single cab truck 👍🏾
Nice
Awesome review!
Thank you!
Wanna see which one is better for a van I love bass please help me
One is ported and one is sealed. You will need to determine which system you would prefer. My test concluded that the RF was louder
@@Gonin60 thank you so much for the information
@@Ricky-ms4fu you bet!
thanks bro
You bet!
101dB vs 111dB difference is not "little bit", there is a huge gap. Although RF is using a closed type cabinet, pressure level so much higher due to actual power.
Thanks warrior
@@Gonin60 Sorry if I was rude, I'm just being technical. Nice video by the way. Are you still using the same sub and what are your current opinions?
Question? This subwoofer they come with amp right?? Or no?
Yeah it’s built in
P300 for sure
Yep
I bought the P300 for my build. That thing flat out thumps. I wasn't looking to rattle mirrors at the light but that's what I ended up with... it is a little pricey but once you power it up you quickly forget about that price. The one thing I absolutely hate about it is that stupid and annoying bass control knob. It works fine but it is the ugliest most cheesy mounting piece of excrement I've ever had to mount in a car audio system. C'mon Rockford.. really? I ended up breaking it open and mounting it without the ridiculous oval odd ball case. But I'm glad I didn't get the P500 as it's simply not that much better than the P300.
I have been very impressed by the RF!
Nic vid. Are you getting my notifications?
Yes I just saw it. Are you wanting me to comment on your video. I wasn’t sure what the ask was. Happy to help out!
@@Gonin60 no you don’t have to. I just wanted to make sure because you tube doesn’t work right sometime. I followed you on IG btw. I’m debating if I should put a system in my car. Nice vid though! The speakers are banging 🔥
I’ll jump over and comment. Thanks for the support!
@@Gonin60 no problem and thank you also!
You gonna add this to your new vehicle
Maybe! The B&O sound system already sounds so good on it.
@@Gonin60 ok just was wondering so the sound system in Ford sound better than the dodge
My car had the upgraded B&O sound system and it sounds pretty good. A benefit of the challenger is having the battery in the trunk. It’s easier to connect etc.
Powered subs are great if your factory system is lacking bass.The most inexpensive way to add some punch to your system.
Since high school in the 90's Rockford bass hits real deep and hard. Still the best in the market
Agreed!
@@Gonin60 would you mind telling me what app in your phone testing the bass please?
Decibel X
Any advice to set the gain on the fosgate I can't get it to hammer even as close to as hard as yours
By hammer do you mean sound?
@@Gonin60 yeah lol sorry some of my local slang, 🇨🇦 but for some reason the sub hits decent in lows but feels like it's not doing anything in the highs
Which subwoofer had soothing bass
Not sure
@Crutchfield, what are the dimensions of the P - 300 ? Would this box fit behind the back seat of my 2008 tacoma ?
My 2008 tacoma is a double cab
If you click on the link for it in the description it should show on Amazon dimensions. I believe they make one for trucks and has a T in the title of it.
I have a 12" Kicker sealed and 600w amp with alpine component speakers in the pillars, doors and back deck. The 1st owner of mustang put it in. Sounds so clean. I do have a Punch, P3-1X12 , a 12” sub in a vented enclosure that would not fit the Mustang trunk. But it will fit my other car. Bought it from my neighbor.
Nice. I bet your sound system pumps.
What is your location
It seems beautiful and peaceful

Rockford always has the strongest low Bass but JBL sounds quite nice
Thank you!
You bet!
