Did the same install but used rear speaker's wires.
Love that this sub doesn't need a remote wire.
Put this fosgate in my 2018 terrain with factory bose, ran it off a LC2i pro line output converter and it absolutely rocks...nice tight bass hits. So easy to disconnect and remove when I need the space...Well done RF!!
I swear to god this is the only guide that explains this so perfectly. I’ve been struggling to figure out how to use this subwoofer with a factory radio, because for whatever reason 99% of all guides involve an aftermarket radio. Thank you sm c:
excited to bump my ‘14 honda crv
If I’ve got the factory head unit in my Honda civic sport 24 am I going to need an adapter for rca cables instead of those tap in parts
Dude, thank you for your video. That adapter is money and tap it. You saved me so much headache and time. Thanks again.
You can’t go wrong with this sub, installed mine in my accord trunk about 6 months ago. It compliments all music 👍
I have 2020 accord and thinking to get this sub paired with my factory stereo. Do you recommend?
I am looking for it to be in my accord as well, its not too much bass in a sedan? I know the mentioned its more for trucks
@@shahzaibhadi9611 I just got a 2020 accord myself. Let me know if you purchased this sub👍
@@Johnblazefrmdabx Haha we're all here because the accord system sucks!
@@shahzaibhadi9611 I’m getting it installed in my 2018 Accord as we speak with the factory speakers we shall see
Just installed mine today in my 2 door Jeep Wrangler, fits perfectly in the back, the sound is great.
How much did you get yours for???
@@badass420weedsmoker5I live in Canada so with the exchange it came out to about 370 US dollars. Bought it on Amazon, just noticed they raised the price to 480 US.
@@peter12246 The 12 is available for $350 with an install kit on Amazon today (12-17-22)
@@dr.emilschaffhausen4683 oh nice! I’ll send the link to some friends who always compliment the bass. Cheers and a merry Christmas to you and yours!
@@peter12246 Merry Christmas to you and your family/friends also.
I have this but the regular. I haven't got mine installed yet on my new boss radio(still need to install radio) in my cobalt ss. But I did get a quick listen on the stock radio...and it made me smile pretty big. And I used to have the rockford fosgate dual 15 punch box with 4 horn tweeters back in the day in my back seat lol so I've had some bass before. And it's replacing the cobalt ss stock 10 inch sub. I changed all speakers out to kickers and they sounded a lot better than stock 2006 pioneer speakers lol.
I had the p-300 installed and it’s like being in a total different car and I love it.
Totally noob question, since we use the power source directly from battery.. does this powered subwoofer drains battery when the car is off?
No it doesnt drain the battery when vehicle is off@tonydrexler9115.
Nice job on the install and the video!
Thank you!
This is fantastic! I got a 300 10inch for my Mini Cooper and is great! I just don’t know how to tune it properly. I used the converter, rear speakers. Spliced the rcas.
I was going to get a pioneer wx70da since it fits in that recessed slot in the mini R56 boot but someone highlighted this sub instead . This is insane !!!
I just got one haven’t hooked it up yet now I can’t wait even more
thanks for the video bro! honestly best review
Just installed mine
Awesome for a 4 runner
Sounds good and easy to remove for space
Exactly, thats why you cant go wrong with it
What gain and bass boost you running on the amp? I’m trying to get mine dialed in perfectly.
What year 4Runner? I have a 2021 and I’m afraid to break my stereo with the nice screen. Never done any installs. A noob!
@@Marco_1978 trust me you have to be somewhat ruff at times but nothing crazy you dont have to worry about breaking anything unless your being stupid
I have the 10"...had it in my little Fiesta ST and that sub changed my whole factory 100w system. This sub made it sound like a 2k system lol. I sold the ST and bought a 15 RDX which Im gonna install in soon...cant wait!
Does the built in amp in the sub make stock speakers sound better??
@@CC-yf2fg may be a placebo effect but to me it made the sound full...my fiesta already had decent highs and mids...all it needed was bass and it did the job well.
For picking it up used for $40 im kind of excited to try it. I was previously using the bose amp and spare tire Sub with 1 5in woofers
I have one in my 2016 Toyota Camry and OMG you are right. tons of clear base. I've never had to turn the base up past half waypoint.
im about to get one installed in my 2008 avalon xls already comes with a small 6 inch jbl sub
@@dazmon72 if you have a very good stereo show to do it you can't go wrong. i have a great one here in Houston texas.
I have the same exact car, where did you place it?
@@Efkarpidis it's in the trunk. works great.
I have just ordered one for my Honda Civic Type R 2019. Thanks for the video helped my choice making.
Nice, that type R now going to be even better
Of course!
Keep doing videos you have a act for it. With some more production youll go far
You should have installed the inline fuse by the battery that's in that plastic bag for safety to the sub.
People always ask about the bass it produces because videos dont show
More than enough without being crazy it will beat
bro I came to check your review of the 12, but you also confirmed a suspicion I had about Sirius XM Bass boosting their shit! Thanks!
Yeah, you’ll notice a lot of companies do odd things like this to boost their sales, make their services seem better in slight ways.
Excellent video bro 💯🤝🏻
I am about to get this for a 06 ranger I have a feeling it might fill up the whole back seat😂
I have an 01 ranger and it doesn't fit behind my back seat. (I have a regular cab though)
I got the P300-10T and it is amazing.
is p3 in that?
@@mohammadshr yes?
Hits hard
Absolutely
If you had to do it again, would you go for the 10 inch instead?
Nice bouta get mines
It's pretty sweet
Which subwoofer brand sounds more soft thumping/pounding? Rockford fosgate or JL audio?
Hey I bought this speaker for cheap but it didn’t come with any of the hardware. However I already have found the hardware online. Also I got some speakers already wired and connected. How hard will it be to remove the old speaker and connect this one?
That final song 😎, i would love to have the title.
great video
Thanks!
Just bought this for my 05 mustang I hope it's decent not looking for earth shattering but definitely want a bit of bump
Jamie Persona she’s decent, you’ll like it
@@Zinxed excellent!
Do you still recommend it? I think I want one for my jeep patriot to save space if it fairly hard. Nothing crazy but bass you can feel.
Yes, I still recommend this unit. The bass you most certainly can feel, my mirrors will shake from this when turned only halfway up (on the bass remote). The slimmer design of the T model also has helped save space for me. Plus it's incredibly easy to remove when you need that space.
Hell yeah i bought the 10 inch version for my hatchback and it rattles my trunk
Id like to kno where your ground is connected. I installed exact same setup but not sure weather to ground at 3rd row seat to frame bolt or somewhere else?
always hook to the rear speakers for your tap some cars do pink noise and door chimes in front speakers.
Just ordered the p500-12p for me
how long does the auto turn on feature take to turn orf once you stop music
Hi there can I connect to audio cable through my rear left and rear right speakers cable to the subwoofer?
Thanks
Yes you can, I chose not to cause taking off the plastics in my car was just too much of a pain in the ass
When connecting to the factory stereo wires, did you splice the wires at all? How did you remove them from the factory and put them into the RCA converter? Did the just simply pull out easily? I am asking because I want to correctly do the same for a Toyota Rav4 factory stereo amp install.
Doing the same with my rav, did you figure it out?
Hello my friend .... please advise about the knobs on the woofer .... crossover and all....
I got the 10inch sub in my Chevy Trax and it shakes my car my mirrors vibration is crazy
I respect this way not close to enough bass for me but convenient for others who dont want to rattle there cars apart like me but im smart since i put some vibraflex and some sound deadening in my suv but my system had 2 batteries lithium bank the big 3 upgrade 2 12s and a 5,000 watt amp
I've hard weird things about the RCA adapter. Did you just connect it to one of the rear/front speaker wires (positive to positive right and left , negative to negative right and left) and was simple as that?
Yep, that's the exact route I took and had no problems.
Yes its best to connect to both left and right speakers to get 100% signal/frequency.
AM GOING TO GET ONE FOR MY HONDA PILOT
Can you take the subwoofer out the box and put it in a separate box?
Would you still go with a 300 over a 500 if the placement was in the trunk of a sedan?
For my taste yes, it’s more than enough for someone that just wants a richer sound range for their music
To be honest you didnt have to mess with the radio for your rca cables.. You just need a converter and wire that to one of the speakrs in the back and thats it..👍
I thought about doing this, but I was going to be taking apart my dash anyways to fix some other things so I just ran them up to it
@jrb_official what converter would you use to not take apart the dash?
@@Zinxed did you use everything in the wiring kit or just the RCAs?
@@tyreebecker8465 it was rca converter use it to get sound from the factory speakers.. Easy method
It has speaker level input. No converter needed
I am looking to buy one of these for my 2013 Hyundai Elantra and install on factory stereo. Do i need to add a Capacitor with it around 2 Farad?
If you plan on running it all the time with the engine off sure. Capacitors are used to store energy so that when the car is shut off the battery doesn’t get instantly drained due to the large current draw of a subwoofer. If you don’t plan on that, no reason to have one. I’ve never had a capacitor in any of my sound systems cause I really only listen to music when I’m driving
I just bought this by accident.. didn’t know the T in p300 - 12T meant Truck... but I hve a sedan, will that be a problem? Like is there any big difference between the non Truck and this ?
Not a big difference, just the size of the box. It's longer and shallower than the p300
What size bungie cord
Anyone know if this would fit behind the back seats of an older full sized cab GM truck?
What year?
I just installed this and tapped into the suggested front right speaker
wires. Everything looks good. Sub works but it barely hits... I mean
BARELY hits. I have to put my ear over the port to actually hear it. I
have played with the settings, phase shifter, gain on unit, bass boost
on unit, gain control knob via remote. This is the second pair of
speaker wires I have tapped into and its the same. What am I doing
wrong? It almost sounds like zero bass has been added, but I can hear it
firing.
Have you checked what your head unit bass setting is turned to, could be turned all the way down
I would have tapped the subwoofer wires for signal.....that way it's all bass and controllable with radio subwoofer controls.
I have the p300 10ich in my Chevy trax running off my factory deck and it shakes everything and the bass is not even halfway
It's pretty fantastic for the size
wish i had the tap it stuff i wired a rca adapter to my headunit :(
What’s ur gain and crossovers set at on the sub?
Looks like his crossover is set all the way up at 250. That’s way to high.
What material is the exterior of the sub box?
Not sure, feels like a hard plastic, could be wood with skin covering it
Does this speaker absolutely have to be in a truck? I have a chevy malibu, and am looking into getting one, but don't wanna get it if its wrong for my car. Please let me know
It should work completely fine, but they do make a car version
Which one is better between this one and the JBL GT Bass Pro?
Rockford is a better brand get the p500 12
What song is the intro song man?
U think this will fit in my 99 suburu legacy sedan
If you're putting it in the trunk I think it should fit. I would measure though regardless just to make sure.
Would this fit in a single cab obs chevy?
It fits behind the seat of my 03 Ram 2500 regular cab. Not sure about obs Chevy.
I think you could of cut off the RCA just and spliced the audio to one of your rear speakers.
Yes I definitely could've done that, but I didn't bother searching for the wires
With that amp no i tried it it didn't work
@@joebank484 You absolutely can. I’ve installed half a dozen tapping into the rears. That have a high level input. There is zero reasons why it wouldn’t work.
How can both the 10 and 12 have same RMS and frequency response?!
They can have the same RMS Wattage but the actual woofer size affects how low the frequency response can get. So the 12 will be able to go much lower, closer to 35 Hz I believe
Gonna put this in my Chevy El Camino
Sassy car to put it in.
@@Zinxed yyea it has 0 bass right now
Hey mate, I really appreciate your work, thanks so much for making this video I have just installed rockford fosgate P300-12T exactly how you mentioned in this video. I have just tapped into 2 wires and it is working really well. Do I need to tap into more wires?
Aash
Sydney,Australia
So you don’t need a line output converter???
With this set up no, I used an rca adapter instead that i then used to tap into the speaker wire coming from the factory head unit
That's a massive fuse for such a low wattage system. 30 to a 40 amp fuse would of been just fine, but aye if it works then that's all that matters I guess Lol
do all the car speakers work with the sub connected?
Yes they all do, even the stock sub still works
@@Zinxed damn thanks bud
What is your phase set on 0 or 180
Mine is currently set to 0, but I tried 180 and couldn't really hear if it changed the timing enough for me to care
One year later, are you still satisfied with the sub?
I have the 500 and yes Im still satisfied
@@josephjohnson1284 Nice. I ended up buying the P300-12 (non truck version) and put it into my 2005 GTO. I've been very happy with it as well!
How do you like your passport? What year is it?
Had a 93, now got this 09. Like it a lot, reliable as hell. Pulls my trailer easily with the wheeler on it. Only thing is MPGs aren't great
@@Zinxed ya I was wondering about that. I looked into getting a Honda pickup but the mpg wasn't any better than the rest of the trucks out there.
Hi I am so confused between p300 , p500 and p3d2 12 enclosure I have an Suv landcruiser and I want a deep punch bass
If you’re looking for the most get p500, it’s 500 watts while the p300 is 300.
I wish i got quoted $120 the place i went to is $300 plus they tried charging me 1200 for a head unit that cost 430 and i said hell no I also did my speakers my self and am planing on getting this sub
What did you set your gains to?
I have my gain set to about 1/3 of the way, yet it still feels a bit high. I have not tested with a multimeter yet
You know what amp it’s running ? I think I need to buy a new one mine came defective. Also you know if I can even open it up and swap it out????
Never messed with mine, Amps built in so I assume there’s a way to disassemble it but don’t know if it would be an off the shelf part
First sub ever and it comes with a broken amp. Just my luck and on top of that i paid for it to get installed professionally and tuned from the back and that’s when they told me it was broken & I can’t returned it since it’s been over a month
Any issue with the amp ever not coming on with the Audio signal?
Never an issue yet, I have heard that before though. I have had mine for 3 years and never an issue.
@@Zinxed got mine installed couple weeks ago and it has been phenomenal
Is your gain up real high, based on what you’re saying in the beginning.
No, it's about a 1/3 of the way up
And why not just include rca jacks w speaker if we hv aftermarket stereo?
skorpyo33 the kit comes with rca ends so you won’t need the adapter, I didn’t have an Aftermarket headunit
Update just get metra 8 gauge kit online, done.
Ohhh noooo I got a 2021 Mazda 3 hatch and I got a 500W.. installing right now. Hope it isn’t too much.. I don’t mind actually lol
I tested the 500 in my new truck, decided it was just too much for a regular cab. In my SUV though it was good.
What was the song before ladt one?
Unfortunately, I couldn't tell you. I just googled a random song
I’m torn between the 10 and 12. Just got a new civic 🤔
The price difference is so little, might as well get the 12
The reason no one hears your bass is because you have an SUV. It has nothing to do with that model sub. The sound bounces into the cab and into a big area of open space versus being in a trunk bouncing in a small enclosed space. It will sound louder in an SUV on the inside versus a car, but not carry as well to the outside. In my younger days I had (3) higher end 12’s and a 1500 watt amp in a Ford Explorer. It was ear rattling inside. Way overkill; yet you really couldn’t hear it outside like you thought you would. It’s physics, not a model specific situation.
I am putting one of these P300’s and an LC2i in my Rogue today. I’ve installed a few of these for others already, but this is my first time owning one myself. They really are great subs for all genre’s. I’ve always preferred 10’s as they produce tighter bass, especially in a sealed box.
Thanks for the video! Was good motivation to stop watching TH-cam and get to work!
So did you go with the 10 or 12? If you went with the 10 how do you like it??
So I am looking to get the 10 inch one for my car. Does anybody know the difference between the P300-10 and the P300-10T? Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Just the size I think.
@@skylerdisbrow7801 Oh ok cool. Thanks man
Yeah the T is usually for the trucks so it’s about smaller than the regular
The T means it will be a longer box but much more shallow
@@Zinxed Thanks! Another question. Do I just leave the gain at zero on the actual amplifier if I'm using the remote to adjust the gain? Wasn't sure how they affect each other.
I ordered the sub today. do I need to buy cables for it?
Kaden Shannon yes, you have to buy a wiring harness for it. The sub will NOT come with the power, ground, rca..etc cables
Just installed the p500-12p...I have to keep it on the low...it will drown the mids and tweets....I like bee gees staying alive...that's my test tune
Was the install pretty easy to do it yourself? I’m trying to do the P12-500 in
my E-Class mercedes
@Sashki81 max Guage wire/fuse to battery direct...
Use the on/ off control wire....
I Had rca sub out put from the stereo...
The auto on/off sticks on
If you use that signal on..
Costs...125 usd for good wiring...
To confirm, this doesn't need a remote turn on wire at all?
No, you don't need it. You CAN if you WANT though. I did not.
Last song please?!
It was a generic youtube song I googled, couldn't tell you now.
What’s the difference between p-300 and p300T ?
The P-300T is wider and less deep so that it can fit under a truck seat or behind one. So it's just the box size.
@@Zinxed do you know if it's less strong then?
Do you wish you would of gotten the 10T instead of the 12T?
If I had I still had my sedan I would say yes, but because I have this in an SUV I'd say no. Now in a truck cab, if I had this in my Ranger I'd say the 12T would probably be too much but in a full-size truck I think it would be perfect.
What about in a smaller suv?
That really depends on how much you can handle, there isn't a massive difference in bass between them, but the 12 will give you a bit stronger of a punch than the 10. So you will hear a bit deeper bass. The price difference is only $20 so I would recommend the 12 simply cause you can always turn it down if it's too much.
that’s kind of where I’m at. I just got a new civic and don’t know if the 12t in the trunk would be overkill?
i put some velcro on the bottom of mine
The kit comes with some but I didn't trust it
If you put the gain all the way up will the speaker blow?
No, I have put it all the way and it's been fine. I wouldn't do it cause that's not the correct way to tune it
I have mine set a 1/4 of the way and it does the job
12" or 10" for the prius?
If space is an issue than go with 10” but the price difference is $20 so I recommend the 12” over 10” especially cause if it’s too much you can always turn it down
@@Zinxed and do the newer models hv a T at the end. Big price difference on those?
@@Zinxed just need to know if the T are the newer models lol
@@skorpyo331 the models with T at the end just have a smaller form factor. The T stands for Trucks. Everything else is about the same.
sell the prius before anything
I got the p500 12inch ported.. is it good too?
It is good, I like it...it just doesn't fit behind the back seat of my Ram 2500

What sound is playing at the end? Kinda sounds like Motorsport by migos
Oh Jesus, connect through your factory sub, don't ever pass on that option over the speaker. Cause it's sending the low pass sounds to the sub only and you won't catch most of the under 20db frequency.
Installer: try the bass out
Me: puts it on jazz on flat equalizer
Me to Installer: theres no base at all
Installer: 👀
I literally only listen to rock so not sure why I even put a subwoofer in my truck
@@Zinxed lol true
Had mines for 4 years and it just went out. Replaced the the RF Punch 13
What’s up bro
Cyqro what’s good homie, you still play box?
Zinx yea I play every once and a while maybe we can play sometime?
Cyqro for sure, I’m usually playing red dead online now a days
I noticed you did not use a High Level to RCA Converter which could do a better job blocking out the mid frequencies. Maybe the speaker already has it built in?
lol whats yall gamer tag in on rd2
