still playin with woofers on a nice sunday afternoon. Tryin to get a few extra vids onto youtube while having fun doing it! I love hooking up random equipment!
I had some 1993 Rockford 12s in a sealed enclosure and they were beautiful, especially considering they are a little older than I am. They had some really cool old school paper cones and hit the higher bass frequencies pretty nicely and the low lows weren't too bad considering. Had them at 4 Ohms on a 1200 Hifonics Brutus and they took the 225 watts per channel very well. Didn't even start to smell.
that RF 15 was a series1 competition sub. I had 4 of them in custom built bandpass in a 78 bronco runnin off 2 2500 watt alpine amps that would blow my top off at 3/4 gain. that was before the cool bass knobs yall got now so it was just turning up the gain on the amp itself back then lol. they were no joke hommie! believe it or not they ran about 350 each back in the mid/late 90s
those fosgate 15" bring back memories of 1999..had 2 of them in my crx in highschool..8ohm bridged on a 500watt amp..everyone thought they hit so hard back then..now they look tiny
Ohms is a measurement of impedance in an electrical circuit. It's not necessarily the higher the better or the lower the better however with car audio (or any audio for that matter) it's important to match speakers ratings to amplifiers ratings. For example: if a speaker is rated for 40 watts RMS @ 4ohms you want to match it to an amplifier that makes similar power @4ohms.
I love the Punch series amps, some of the best amps on the market and also a price point that can not be beaten. I have 4 of the P200.2 running my mids and highs.
Them old punch speaker and amps takes me back to the mid 90’s... punch was the shit back then. I upgraded to a sound stream amp and retired the punch amps in like 98...

Your loss, check out some of the recent tests, SS is good but RF is still better. My lil 300 is still pushing 1200 peak
Ok thanks for the info :) I know there are tons of options, box volume and design, quality of your players sound chip, your amp, your car (van, truck, passenger car etc.) The best bass i've heard so far was inside my friends evo9, I believe it was a 1000w rms sub but I can't remember the maker and size. I could feel the bass in my chest before it got annoyingly loud for my ears and it never had that humming sound. Gotta ask him sometime :D
Steve knows what he's doing and u can put any sub in any box (if it fits) and it won't destroy it! Also playing a sub without a box for a few minutes will not hurt it!
Hi I have a 15" Alpine type r sub. What amp do you think will bump it hard? Right now i have a rockford p4002 pushing it but im not satisfied at all. Or actually whats probly the strongest amp I can put to it?
Yeah ROCKFORD FOSGATE ! man I been watching your videos from CT for years man but I never knew how to comment anyway I love my Rockford power series 1000 watt amp coupled with twin W6 's Idk about all those crazy smd subs you have they look mean but I'm really into efficiency and sound quality , slamming truck man I wish I could make money doing what you do but I'm a union carpenter up here but keep slamming bro!
@masongalbraith sure order it up from Fi, tell them you want it and have them ship me the cone first. Might cost you a little more since they are in Vegas but the cone isnt very heavy so it wont be too much.
I love tinkering with audio stuff too and testing speakers. Steve have you ever seen a hard drive functioning like a speaker? plenty of videos on here of that. I wonder how much I could bump my hard drive speaker on that 200 watt amp. might blow the hard drive lol.
the 90s had some good subs. It's was like '96 when I heard this truck with a cab on the back(prime grey looking s10 something). Man that bitch was banging. Dude had 4 15" behind the seats. This old sentra in '92 is what got me hook into this shit. See thru bandpass. I was blown away!!!
so, from what i can see,the trunk has one of those cut through's that makes it so you can fold down the back seat. if it does. i would advise getting a nice ass 12 with a custom box pointed towards the back of the trunk. the sound will ricochet off the trunk and bouce in the cab and have that nice deep tone. but, with trunk subs, you gotta work about the rattle (i personally dont like the trunk rattles) buy some sound deadener and put it on the trunk hood and on the sides of the trunk behind
Hey steve it's probably already gone because i didn't realize how old this video was til i was done watching it but i want that old box with that 15 that u dug out that needs a lid! I bet that 15 in that box would sound good! Way better than what i have anyway!!
Does it really sound like on the camera? Because the sounds are way quieter without the box, i'm wondering if the camera still has distortion :D What woofer size would be good for getting a strong bass from any song without destroying your eardrums? Judging by the cone travel a Pioneer TS-W304c 12 inch 300w rms is too small but it could be the box I tried with it :) A car tends to overboost humming 60-70hz so it needs more oomph at lower freqs I think :) No need for only SPL for me.
strong bass? it could be any size woofer,i would go with some rockford fosgates, maybe one 15 or 12 with the right kind of box in the right kind of car
i got a question when you got the sub with the connection things on each side can you just run a single wire side to side then run another one to the amp or should you run them both seperate get back to me thanks
@meade916 hi meade, I've a queston...what happens if you put the amplifier inside the bassbox ? shouldn't it cool up with the air pressure ? (sorry for my english..I'm studing lol..I'm italian xdxD
I have the Rockford Fosgate p200.2 pushing two JL audio 10w3 in a sealed box... the SUV is a 2003 4runner and that is all I need... but these little amps can push much more.
dude how many subs do u have and i was wondering i had some lightning audio amp and 2 10 inch subs it was a 750 watt amp and for some reason after a couple months i'm guessing the amp died cause i had no bass what so ever and the subs are not blown and i have checked all the wiring.
@tallestcarrott33 Well, it's not realy that HE is selling them personally. It's the SMD/AA 18. I haven't looked into a quote, but I heard that it's around $1200 for the 18 and $1000 for the 15.
You ever mess with that BL 15 in the bandpass? What vid is it in if you did? And fosgate amps for the win, my friend has a 200 and one channel doesn't work, he has 3 pioneer 12s in like a 5 cube ported box, wired to .5 ohm and it pushes them hard (they are rated 300 rms each) and doesn't even get warm.
What bass song was that? What do u think about audiobahn subs? I have 2 dvc and really like them. I have a powerzone 1,000 on them. Never heard of powerzone at all. It seems like a good amp but think they are needing more power.. Unfortunately I don't make much money.
What’s the max rms sub I can run on an older Rockford p2002 I think it’s a 2 channel? I had a Rockford p3 10 shallow mount curious if I can go bigger. Thanks
Why is it that people with an IQ lower than 100 seem to like to reply to my comments and or videos, is it to show the world just how smart they really aren't? I'm asking you because you seem like the kind of person that can speak from experience.
those FI BTLs are insane. Compared to all the others that magnet is like godzilla lol. I think my next subs will be FI BTL 12s. I was gonna go with rockford or alpine but damn
@meade916 Nice Vid steave, and please do shut all them haters up =) dont listen to them... you know, as well as everybody else that your rides are great! just starting to build my own system... cant wait till its done! just out of curiousity.. how much are your smd woofers? would love to have one of those babys in my ride. keep up the good work... lovin the new paint job on your ride btw ;)
Donald Madison JL's are great subs. Expensive though. If your looking for crazy bass go with something else. You can get a lot out of another sub for the same price or even cheaper
Hi Brother, I need your help again, I have a SE SE1010 subwofeer, I need an amplifier to play it, it happens that like you, I'm in love with the old school RF, but the problem is that I have the option to buy the RF 200x2 TRANSANA or the RF 200 IX, however both are 2 channels in 2 ohm each or 4 ohm bridge, how to connect in my subwofeer? If I connect the subwofeer in parallel 2 ohm, does the RF handle?
second video you have watched of mine, and took the time to comment......sounds to me like you cant stop. Watch more, support the cause old man.
LOLOl I just got one of these old school amps just now from my neighbour!! Can't wait to test it myself !!! Love the video Steve!!!
Ah the 90's very memorable. Giving me some ideas Steve thanks 👍
It's free air man. Obviously.
Keep baning man. GET AT ME!!
first one likes
wow, coming back to this video makes me realize how long ive been watching your channel!

Humble beginnings, mad love
those fosgate 15" bring back memories of 1999..had 2 of them in my crx in highschool..8ohm bridged on a 500watt amp..everyone thought they hit so hard back then..now they look tiny
The old Fosgate 15 was what took the place of the old Series 1 woofers- I had 2 of em in high school in my Regal
That old woofer still has great SQ RF FTW!!!

Ok thanks for the info :)

Ugc1911 I’m a union carpenter too , safe to say I build all my own boxes lol
Steve great vids. Can you show the civic in the background. I saw a small portion of it in an old video of yours. Could you show it again?
Nice bro I have 4 12 in Rockford fosgate primes the r2d4 series with a ssl 5000 w amp shut makes my whole car flex
@masongalbraith sure order it up from Fi, tell them you want it and have them ship me the cone first. Might cost you a little more since they are in Vegas but the cone isnt very heavy so it wont be too much.

seems like you got whole speakers museum at home ; )

I just found 2 1995 pioneer 10 inch subs at the curb
+Random_rapper20 what? the grey one?
so, from what i can see,the trunk has one of those cut through's that makes it so you can fold down the back seat. if it does. i would advise getting a nice ass 12 with a custom box pointed towards the back of the trunk. the sound will ricochet off the trunk and bouce in the cab and have that nice deep tone. but, with trunk subs, you gotta work about the rattle (i personally dont like the trunk rattles) buy some sound deadener and put it on the trunk hood and on the sides of the trunk behind
Gotta love it.
We would have bin testing subs & putting some food on that grill.
Hey steve it's probably already gone because i didn't realize how old this video was til i was done watching it but i want that old box with that 15 that u dug out that needs a lid! I bet that 15 in that box would sound good! Way better than what i have anyway!!
you are the man Steve want system sounding like yours
man.. keep these vids coming!. :) .. ima bit scared as to what a small 200 watt RF can do! ;)
@walkingfreak not for sale at the moment bro
Does it really sound like on the camera? Because the sounds are way quieter without the box, i'm wondering if the camera still has distortion :D
What woofer size would be good for getting a strong bass from any song without destroying your eardrums? Judging by the cone travel a Pioneer TS-W304c 12 inch 300w rms is too small but it could be the box I tried with it :)

No need for only SPL for me.
This is a greeeeat video bro!!
@abandonedgod its not for you to understand. FYI, I have both. Now what?
dude i wish i had more then the little bit of ooold not the best woofers i have but you have like TONS of em!! lol
strong bass? it could be any size woofer,i would go with some rockford fosgates, maybe one 15 or 12 with the right kind of box in the right kind of car
i got a question when you got the sub with the connection things on each side can you just run a single wire side to side then run another one to the amp or should you run them both seperate get back to me thanks
steve has the loudest system in the universe i must say from what i see
Love your stuff man! I have a 3000 watt 15" and I was wondering what amp would you recommend to power it?
@meade916 hi meade, I've a queston...what happens if you put the amplifier inside the bassbox ? shouldn't it cool up with the air pressure ? (sorry for my english..I'm studing lol..I'm italian xdxD
Awesome old school Rockford 💯😄 it's pounding tho
LoL that is a bad ass little amp what dose 1 of them run at retail
the old school one sounds clean.
I have the Rockford Fosgate p200.2 pushing two JL audio 10w3 in a sealed box... the SUV is a 2003 4runner and that is all I need... but these little amps can push much more.
dude how many subs do u have and i was wondering i had some lightning audio amp and 2 10 inch subs it was a 750 watt amp and for some reason after a couple months i'm guessing the amp died cause i had no bass what so ever and the subs are not blown and i have checked all the wiring.
the old punch 200 by fosgate one of the greatest amps ever hooked to 4 10" single 4 ohm oh shittttttttttttttttttt that will hit hard
@walkingfreak no prob bro
@tallestcarrott33 Well, it's not realy that HE is selling them personally. It's the SMD/AA 18. I haven't looked into a quote, but I heard that it's around $1200 for the 18 and $1000 for the 15.
that was a great woofer back in the day!
Those old school RF subs were the SHIZZZ !
Steve what track are you playing on these subs? Id like to try it on my hard drive speaker and ill make a video of it playing on it.
You ever mess with that BL 15 in the bandpass? What vid is it in if you did? And fosgate amps for the win, my friend has a 200 and one channel doesn't work, he has 3 pioneer 12s in like a 5 cube ported box, wired to .5 ohm and it pushes them hard (they are rated 300 rms each) and doesn't even get warm.
What bass song was that? What do u think about audiobahn subs? I have 2 dvc and really like them. I have a powerzone 1,000 on them. Never heard of powerzone at all. It seems like a good amp but think they are needing more power.. Unfortunately I don't make much money.
subs have come a long way
steves house seems like BTL heaven.
Amp test Tuesday saved my life. What's your thoughts on high frequency dolphin calls?
@meade916 what would I have to do to get a demo in the Tahoe?
HOLY SHITT!!!! i have 4 of those old school 15's.
they work pretty nice. haha.
What’s the max rms sub I can run on an older Rockford p2002 I think it’s a 2 channel? I had a Rockford p3 10 shallow mount curious if I can go bigger. Thanks
what did you ever do with the old btl's?
Why is it that people with an IQ lower than 100 seem to like to reply to my comments and or videos, is it to show the world just how smart they really aren't? I'm asking you because you seem like the kind of person that can speak from experience.
That Old School Fosgate 15" is a Series 1 from the 80's.
meade --u know much more than i do on this, but wouldnt this cause amp clipping off the ass?
those FI BTLs are insane. Compared to all the others that magnet is like godzilla lol. I think my next subs will be FI BTL 12s. I was gonna go with rockford or alpine but damn
you prob dont have it anymore but how much for the oldschool rf 15
sounds like it is,might just be poor audio on the camero though
what song are u playing for the old fosgate
why is the fi moving alot with a 200w im curious
but do you have a good live system? I say make a makeshift line array with what you can find...that would make a cool video.
@abandonedgod what if a person spends more time in their car bc they love to travel or drive? all of a sudden an system at home seems silly.
id love to see your tahoe in person. now only to get out to cali from fl.
steve wat do you use to power up that amp?
hey not an odd q u have any old subs for sale...? how much would you want?
lol i like that reply. show him how its done steve!
What is the best gain and frequency settings for this??
luv your vids man ,play some old school reggae ; ) for the carribbean boys
I need that 15 fosgate in my life
is there a vent on the bottom
@meade916 Nice Vid steave, and please do shut all them haters up =)
dont listen to them... you know, as well as everybody else that your rides are great!
just starting to build my own system... cant wait till its done!
just out of curiousity.. how much are your smd woofers? would love to have one of those babys in my ride. keep up the good work...
lovin the new paint job on your ride btw ;)
@meade916 how much are some those 18s??

I seen a old school punch 200 (90s) beat the Hell outta 8 12" Orion XTR DVCs never got hot or shut down!
Hey Steve how do you feel about JL woofers? Like the 12w7 AE3?
Donald Madison JL's are great subs. Expensive though. If your looking for crazy bass go with something else. You can get a lot out of another sub for the same price or even cheaper
I had a JL w7 paid over a grand for it .. and my soundqubed hds3 I have blows it out the water
I have a question for you, since you know about subs. whats the best subs i could get for around 500-600 dollars?
Hi Brother, I need your help again, I have a SE SE1010 subwofeer, I need an amplifier to play it, it happens that like you, I'm in love with the old school RF, but the problem is that I have the option to buy the RF 200x2 TRANSANA or the RF 200 IX, however both are 2 channels in 2 ohm each or 4 ohm bridge, how to connect in my subwofeer? If I connect the subwofeer in parallel 2 ohm, does the RF handle?
