Rockford Fosgate Punch P300-10 Single 10" 300-Watt Amplified Subwoofer & Enclosure - Black

My expectations for this sub were exceeded in every category. For the ~$300 I paid, this would have been a good deal if it worked half as well, but it doesn't just work, it absolutely kicks ass when driven, better than anything else in its size and cost range. I'm frankly stunned at how nice looking the cabinet is and how deep and powerful the bass is. The Bass Boost circuit definitely helps drive even more bass so I just leave it wide open and only throttle it using the remote. It sounds deep and rich on everything. The power connector is serious and well thought out. The controls are sensible and plentiful and good quality. The included remote at no additional cost is a very nice bonus considering others charge $40+ for theirs. I had a hard time telling the difference between this model and the Truck version but I am delighted that I chose this one. This replaced my 10-year old Infiniti 200W 10" Basslink (which was incredible for its size). I tried the top of the line Bazooka first, which failed miserably even at $100 more - its nowhere near as nice as the Rockford. On Mounting: The first photo is the final mounting with brackets, and the 2nd photo is from when I was testing it out before mounting it. It rocked both ways but definitely transfers more bass into the chassis when mounted to it. I saw that it included huge strips of velcro for mounting, but I decided to mount mine directly to my wood frame in my Sprinter, using a bunch of metal rack ears I had lying around. It worked out quite well and has great subsonic transfer to the entire van chassis. The Basslink did this well too, and the Rockford Fosgate does it even better, louder, and deeper. I'm in bass bliss! I'm so happy with this purchase - it really feels like a high end piece of gear with a shockingly low price. Thank you Amazon and Well done Rockford Fosgate!

I recently installed the Rockford Fosgate Punch P30 single 10inch in my car, and it’s been an absolute game changer for my audio experience. This amplified subwoofer has not only enhanced the quality of sound in my vehicle but also provided a level of control that I truly appreciate. The standout feature of this subwoofer is the included bass knob. This little addition allows me to adjust the bass levels on the fly, ensuring that I can always dial in just the right amount of bass for any song or audio. The control it offers is exceptional - I can go from a subtle thump to a more profound, room-filling bass without it ever feeling too overpowering or distorting the sound quality. Installation was straightforward. The compact size of the sealed box design is perfect for in the trunk behind the seat, fitting snugly without taking up too much space. Despite its compact size, the performance it delivers is impressive. The 300 watts of power means this subwoofer packs a serious punch, and the sound quality is crisp and clear, even at higher volumes. The build quality of the Rockford Fosgate Punch P300 is top-notch. It feels sturdy and well-made, designed to withstand the rigors of being in a vehicle. The sealed box is robust, ensuring that the subwoofer is protected and the sound quality is optimized. In terms of sound, the difference this subwoofer has made is night and day. The bass is deep and rich, adding a new dimension to the music. Whether I’m listening to rock, hip-hop, or electronic music, this subwoofer has enhanced every beat and bass line, making my music listening experience much more immersive. In conclusion, the Rockford Fosgate Punch P300 Single 10” 300-Watt Amplified Sealed Box Subwoofer is an outstanding product for anyone looking to upgrade their truck’s audio system. Its ability to provide powerful, yet controlled bass, along with its quality build and easy installation, makes it a top recommendation from me. It’s a purchase you’re unlikely to regret if you value great sound in your vehicle.

I was really surprised with just how much bass this thing puts out! It does EXACTLY what I wanted it to do. More than enough base is there when I want it. It makes the music sound like it’s supposed to. You can crank the bass knob up and rattle the trunk with ease if you want to but it also sounds really good at lower levels. It’s punchy when you want it to be and you can’t feel it in your chest when you want to. Great product with plenty of power built in. Next purchase will be upgrading the tweeters so I can hear the highs better over the bass.

UPDATED FOR 2025: After 8 years of steady use and abuse, it appears the power amp section (or power supply) has finally bit the dust. I can't tell you how many thousands of hours (literally) that I've used this sub, with great results! Bad thing is, if I need to replace it - the price has more than doubled from 182.00 in 2015 to 389.00 in 2025. Will update if it's fixable. Woah. Talk about easy set-up! I bought this subwoofer with intention of adding it to my car's factory system, which I did... 3 years after-the-fact. Why the delay? After having issues finding a place in my car's firewall to run the power lead, I shelved the project. I just didn't realize it would be 3 years before I got back at it. Here's the kicker (no pun intended)... This powered sub was shipped directly from Rockford Fosgate—to Amazon—straight to me. Confirmed. When I opened the box, I realized that it was missing nearly all of the accessories it was supposed to have & I was unable to install it (again). But this was 3 years later? No more warranty. SOL? NO! I called Rockford Fosgate & explained the situation to them. Most companies would've just wrote me off & I would've had to order the parts one-by-one (even though it was their mistake in not packing them in the original container). Just how it typically works... The sales reps were awesome, & after a bit of time conversing, THEY were able to round up the missing parts, ship them to me within the same week—free of charge! They made it right when they didn't have to. THAT ALONE is worth a great review. The sub is everything it promises to be! I use it maybe 1/3 of the way up & it's plenty of thump to meet my receiver's best volume levels. It's ported & puts out extreme SPLs. Don't get the more expensive boxes & separate amps before trying out this guy? I got the 300W, 12" version. The built-in crossover is smooth, with a wide "Q," so no phase issues (there's a phase polarity switch that tackles that, if needed). I only docked 1 star because of the "Bass Boost" circuitry. It's supposed to be set at 45 Hz (where I hoped it would be), but seems to be centered higher at almost 60 Hz (aka rumble & "boom" territory, rather than deep sub terrain). Other than that (which is minor), you won't find a better powered sub of any caliber anywhere near this price-range! TIP: Don't drive it "max" right out of the box. Break it in first. As with any coned-speaker, you have a play it for dozens of hours before it gets "broken in." New, it will distort some. KNOW that this is typical with most paper or poly-coned speakers of any type. After this, the sub is smooth, hard-hitting & has very little audible distortion (unless it's extremely pushed). And the exterior is super-durable, runs SUPER cool, no overheating.

*** Update 1/2015 *** Almost 2 years later my roomate helped me figure out what was going on with this sub. I had it hooked up to the cord that was left in my jeep from the previous owner (who also had a rockford fosgate sub) for the auxiliary bass remote. Apparently the cord that was left in my jeep was bad because we took out the "remote" connection and the problem is GONE. Constant, awesome, bass all the time. For anyone having an issue like I was try taking out the bass remote and seeing if the problem still persists. Right now I have to adjust the bass levels in my head unit, but I will try the bass remote with the cord that was included with this kit if I could find it. Changed my reviews to 5-stars, well worth it for the price. **** ****** Based on the reviews here and price point, I couldn't wait to get this sub into my car. Ordered an Amazon Warehouse "used-like new" unit, and had it professionally installed. Worked fine for a couple weeks and then noticed something odd - the bass wouldnt automatically "thump" when the car was first turned on... the unit was on (blue lights showing) but the bass was barely audible and not kicking like normal. I found an annoying work around to get it thumping again. In order to get the subwoofer to kick in, I would have to pump my volume to about 90/95% of full volume and then the sub would "kick on"... from there I could lower the volume back down to the normal listening level and the bass would be "on" and I could enjoy it. After the sub "kicks on" (with the volume crank workaround), it sounds incredible. Like my review title says, I would absolutely love to give this product 5 stars because when its "on" it sounds amazing. Thinking it could be an anomaly, due to buying it from Amazon Warehouse, I went ahead and talked to customer service and was able to get a refund and then used that money to buy a brand new one. Same issue - worked fine for a week maybe, not even, and then the same issue. I troubleshooted by trying one more possible issue, replaced my Kenwood aftermarket headunit with a brand new bluetooth one (one of the highest-rated single-din receivers on amazon, the kenwood bluetooth one). No dice. I have given up. Would love any possible tips or help I could have to solve it, but right now its hit or miss when I get in my car of whether or not my bass is going to be "on" or if Im going to have to do the "crank volume" trick. This is especially annoying with friends or girlfriend in the car. Based on this experience, I would recommend all to stay away. I don't think I've ever written an amazon review but had to share my experience.

This is not bad for what it is, you're not going to win any competitions. But if you want some tight bass in a confined space. Made well and easy to hook up. You can always tell a good amp by how high you need to turn up the gain. I have this at a quarter turn and it hits, turn it to half and it hits harder but it might clip. Overall a good pick for the budget conscious.

I bought this to install in the trunk space of my 2003 Honda Civic EX. Was told by a Crutchfield operator that it would not fit upright in my trunk, but it does, thankfully (however I didn't have enough power cable to be able to face the woofer towards the trunk lid). I have it powered from the battery with 4 gauge cable with a 100 Amp in-line fuse, the ground is attached to a bolt in the trunk under the carpet, two RCA cables and one radio signal cable run from the trunk to the dash and behind the radio, and the remote control cable runs to the center console, and that's all there is to it. Really easy installation, nothing complicated at all, they even provide the alan wrench for you to tighten the cables into the adapters they provide. I have this hooked into my Pioneer DEH headunit, and it works great in unison with my Pioneer 6 1/4" front door speakers and the 6 x 9 Rockford Fosgate rear speakers. The vinyl outside covering is great for keeping the outside from getting damaged and keeping it looking nice as well, and the woofer grill is nice and sturdy, as is the entire housing. This thing is a beast in terms of weight, though, it manages to make the thin, wooden cover over the spare tire sag a bit, but that's not a problem. It also comes with Velcro strips to keep it from sliding around the trunk. I was able to play quite a range of music on this before this review, and I must say, this thing works wonders no matter what genre of music you're listening to. It frees up the low end frequencies from your other speakers, allowing them to focus on the mids and highs, and in-turn, ensures that there is generally little to no distortion when the lows and highs sound off at the same time, because totally different speakers are dealing with each now. You can get some serious kick out of this sub (I was able to rattle the gutters, window frames, and garage door of the house where I was installing it). It can really shake the car and get uncomfortably low and loud if you want it to. Getting the right settings for the crossovers and the gain and bass-boost is the key to making this thing live its potential. You want the crossover levels set on the headunit or the subwoofer itself to be around 100 Hz or so, and then set the speakers in the car (using the headunit) to have a HPF (High Pass Filter) of 80-100 Hz. This way, the subwoofer and the speakers overlap just a bit, but not enough to really step on each others toes. You'll have to play around with your own setup to determine where the best placement of the gain and bass boost is. This subwoofer is all you'll ever need unless you're looking for something really specific, and coming in an enclosed, complete package for this price, you really can't beat it. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to bring out the lows in their car audio system without the hassle of buying the woofers, enclosure(s) and amplifier and wiring it all separate like that, this is much, much easier.

I usually don’t review items but I needed to for this powered subwoofer. P300-10 is what I settled on after much research and I’m glad that I chose it. 2021 TrailBoss crew cab. Factory non Bose stereo. My only complaint is the bad information about not needing a Remote wire to act as the amps initial turn on. You DO need to hook this up to 12v keyed power. My sub would NOT turn on otherwise as it did not sense the signal coming from the tapped rear speakers at all. I spent a couple of hours troubleshooting checking continuity and resistance and ohms and everything checked out. I ended up running a temp remote wire to see if the sub would fire up and it solved everything. Great 10” powered subwoofer from RF fills the cab beautifully. I did also change out all 6 cab speakers with Pioneer A-Series Plus 2 ways to take all the mid-highs no amp needed for these. Great Powered Subwoofer for all in one has plenty of nice tight bass and blends very well with some minor adjustments. Fit under rear seat with 1” to spare. Don’t forget your in line 120 amp fuse block under 18” from battery.
