Rockford Fosgate Power T1D412 12" 600 watt Power Subwoofer

Rockford Fosgate Power T1D412 12" 600 watt Power Subwoofer Review



Rockford Fosgate Power T1D412 12" 600 watt Power Subwoofer Feature

  • 12-inch, 4-ohm, dual-voice-coil subwoofer with 1600 watts maximum power handling (800 watts RMS)
  • Precision cast and vented aluminum alloy basket with high-excursion TPE surround
  • Anodized aluminum voice coil former / copper clad aluminum wire
  • Parabolic triangular cone geometry support system
  • Removable and reversible screw concealing ring
The Power Series T1D412 Dual 4-Ohm subwoofer builds on innovative new Rockford Fosgate technologies. These bad boys have patented VAST technology that increases surface cone area up to 25%, so the T1D412 performs like a much larger woofer over the previous model. The new FlexFit basket not only looks the part but provides extreme flexibility for installations. Clean, high-tech and ready to set off car alarms, the T1D412 is here.

Rockford Fosgate Power Series Subs

Rockford's top-of-the-line subs are big in every way. Rockford engineers started with cast aluminum baskets and loaded in powerful linear motors. Add to that dual spiders, aluminum cones, and high excursion rubber surrounds and you get a sub that is both physically impressive and sonically overwhelming. Power subwoofers deliver pounding bass, extreme low frequency extension and unheard of power handling capacity.


T1D412 Features

Speaker Construction

  • Anodized aluminum voice coil former / copper clad aluminum wire
  • High Excursion TPE (Thermo-Plastic Elastomer) Surround
  • Parabolic triangular cone geometry support system
  • Precision cast and vented aluminum alloy basket
  • Removable and reversible screw concealing ring

Embedded Copper Heat Sink Shorting Ring
Reduces back EMF (Electro-Magnetic Force) for reduced distortion and improved system efficiency.

Flex Fit Basket
The Flex Fit frame utilizes slots (where feasible) instead of single screw sized holes. This allows slight adjustment of the speaker when mounted.

Proprietary SWIFT Connection
Allows quick selection of impedance and one pair of inputs (Selectable Woofer Impedance Fused Terminal).

Symmetrical Dual Progressive Spiders
Dual opposing speders improve mechanical stability under high excursion.

VAST Surround
VAST (Vertical Attach Surround Technique) significantly increases a speakers effective radiating cone area without complicated installation issues. This design alters the typical design and manufacturing technique by eliminating the large flat glue surface area (the landing) which allows the surround to be shifted for increased cone area. In turn, both nominal efficiency and maximum output capabilities are dramatically improved.

These R2 subwoofers are optimized for sealed and vented enclosures.

Rockford Fosgate Prime Series Subs

Rockford Fosgate pulled DNA from its big brothers to create the Prime series woofers. Parabolic cone designs result in solid bass reproduction and aluminum voice coils keep woofers running cool, even under demanding conditions. Straightforward mechanical designs mean you'll have solid performance for years to come. Add Prime woofers to any system and you'll "feel" the music you've been missing.

Anodized Aluminum Voice Coil Former

Two things generally happen when voice coils heat-up too much: they can generate heat close to the melt-down temp of their adhesive bonds, leading to eventual failure, or the voice coil DC resistance increases, thereby reducing SPL output.

Rockford Fosgate subwoofers use anodized aluminum voice coil formers that provide superior heat dissipation (up to 100 degrees at full power levels). Unlike traditional plastic substitutions, aluminum acts like a heat-sink to quickly dissipate thermal build-up on the voice coil. This keeps subwoofers cool during high SPL conditions.

CEA-2031

Power handling on Rockford Fosgate speakers conform to CEA-2031 industry standards. This means your speaker has the capacity to handle power under continuous damand, not instantaneous power handling, that over time, can damage voice coils.

Stitched Tinsel Leads

Multipoint "periodic" stitched lead wire technique reduces the mass of each tinsel lead and spreads stress and strain over a greater area, significantly improving the reliability and performance of the subwoofer.

These stitched tinsel leads withstand extreme duty cycles, fatigue and high current that is critical to robust design.
