P142 Features

Speaker Construction

  • Butyl rubber surround
  • FlexFit basket design
  • Mineral-filled & polypropylene injection molded cone
  • PEI dome tweeter

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.

ICC (Integrated Concealed Crossover)
The Integrated Concealed Crossover hides the crossover inside the basket, creating a cleaner look and easier installation.

VAST Surround
The Vertical Attach Surround Technique significantly increases a speaker's effective radiating cone area without complicated installation issues. The result provides up to 25% more effective radiating cone area for the same model speaker.

Multi-OEM Adapter
The Multi-OEM Adapter plate allows round component or full-range speakers to fit in certain OEM openings. This allows the speaker the capacity to fit more vehicles.

Rockford Fosgate Punch P3 P3SD210 Punch P3 10-Inch 300 Watt Shallow Subwoofer - 2 Ohm

Rockford Fosgate Punch P3 P3SD210 Punch P3 10-Inch 300 Watt Shallow Subwoofer - 2 Ohm Review



Rockford Fosgate Punch P3 P3SD210 Punch P3 10-Inch 300 Watt Shallow Subwoofer - 2 Ohm Feature

  • Shallow-mount 10-inch, 2-ohm, dual voice coil subwoofer with 600 watts maximum power handling (300 watts RMS)
  • Kevlar fiber reinforced semi-pressed paper cone with high-excursion Poly-Ether-Ester surround
  • High-temp voice coil with spun-laced Nomex re-inforcement collar
  • Mount in either direction; reversible cast aluminum trim ring included
  • Rigid die-cast aluminum low profile basket
The Rockford Fosgate P3 12-inch Shallow Mount subwoofer delivers the Punch--even in depth-limited mounting situations. All vehicles are not the same: some can accommodate deep subwoofers and some can't. In the past that meant no Bass. Not anymore! Now even depth challenged vehicles can have REAL Bass and the Dual Voice Coil allows configurations for every application. Shallow woofers are designed for challenging spaces when a traditional woofer cannot be used.

Rockford Fosgate Punch Series Subs

Featuring innovative parabolic cone designs, oversized surrounds and large motor assemblies, Punch subwoofers deliver deep, loud, aggressive bass--not to mention stunning cosmetics that you'll want to show off. For over 20 years, Punch subwoofers have shown the world that big bass, extended power handling and awesome cosmetics need not cost a fortune. One listen and you'll know why it's called The PUNCH.

P3SD210 Features

Speaker Construction

  • Custom 10-AWG nickel plated push terminals
  • Extended pole piece and bumped backplate
  • High excursion Poly-Ether-Ester surround
  • High-temp voice coil with spun-laced Nomex reinforcement collar
  • Kevlar Fiber reinforced semi-pressed paper cone and ABS/Acrylic dustcap
  • Protective PVC textured magnet cover
  • Reversible diamond cut cast aluminum trim ring
  • Rigid die-cast aluminum low profile basket
  • Vented spider cavity

Aluminum V/C Former
Rockford Fosgate subwoofers use anodized aluminum voice coil formers that provide excellent heat dissipation. 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.

Reversible Mounting
Rockford Fosgate subwoofers can be mounted in either direction. A removable trim ring can be installed on the back or front side of the subwoofer frame. This gives the subwoofer a finished look regardless of mounting configuration.

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.

Spherically Vented Motor
Optimizing the voice coil temperature is one of the most critical elements in designing a great performing subwoofer. The spherically vented spider and pole piece efficiently exhausts excessive heat.
