Rockford Fosgate R2

Car Audio Fanatics who want Rockford Fosgate quality can rely on the Prime R2 series subwoofers to get the job done, and the Dual Voice Coil provides awesome installation flexibility. These drivers can pump out the bass due to their mica injected polypropylene cone, and their stamp-cast baskets with spider venting - typically reserved for more expensive models - keep the motor running cool! These R2 subwoofers are optimized for sealed and vented enclosures.

Rockford Fosgate R2S

When you have no space for bass, our R2 line of shallow subwoofers can help satisfy your need for low-frequency music. These drivers can fit in tight spaces due to an elevated motor structure that reduces speaker depth. Mica injected polypropylene cones make sure bass notes are clean and accurate. Stamp-cast baskets feature spider venting typically reserved for traditional depth mounted models to keep the motor cool! These shallow subwoofers are optimized for sealed enclosures.

Sizes

Both Rockford Fosgate Prime R2 and R2S series subs come in both a 10" and 12" diameter, allowing them to be easily compared to each other in other categories based upon their comparable diameters.

Voice Coils

With the R2 and R2S line, Rockford used a dual-coil construction and offered each 10" and 12" amp with either a 2-ohm or 4-ohm construction.

Power Handling

With RMS power handling in the R2 and R2S series of subs, Rockford Fosgate constructed both the 10" and 12" subs with 250 watt RMS handling.

Mounting Depth

The mounting depth between the two lineups is where these subwoofers start to differentiate themselves. The R2S is the thin-line installation version of the R2 lineup of subwoofers. So if you're looking to save space or have a space restriction in your installation, you'll want to be selecting something from the R2S lineup here.

Recommended Enclosure Size

As with the shallower mounting depth, the R2S lineup of subwoofers will also allow you to utilize installations with a smaller sealed or ported enclosure. For space restricted installs and when selecting between the R2 and R2S lineup, the R2S thin-line constructed subs will be the way to go for your install.

Recommended Amplifiers

The recommended amplifier for your subwoofers will vary greatly depending on the size and quantity of subwoofers you select for your installation. The following lists are comparisons between amplifiers for subwoofers in the same dimensions between the different models. The list begins with a factory recommendation for amps that provide enough power handling for the subwoofer(s), and then move on to our professional recommendations that may vary slightly from the factory recommendations. These Classic Car Stereo recommendations may be an amp with a higher price point that will service the subs better, or an amp that provides RMS power handling over the recommended amount which will allow you to not have to maximize the output on your amp to provide full power to your subs.
