I have the same model in a 2001 Lexus ES300 and its perfect for me, No ghetto trunk rattle, still good clear bass n sound. I leave it at about 60%-70% on the quick adjust knob below my dash. Mine is lying on its back in my trunk bc that's where they put the velcro, haven't had any issues with sliding around.
i got the P300 12.. 179.00 100 for install . i love the bass,... car stereo shop wanted 1600 for 2 amps 2 woofers and a box installed, think of the saving i got.... much more happier
Sure thing. I had 2 Kenwood W3012s paired with a Kenwood KAC 9104D. I loved the subs and the amp, they treated me very well. The new incarnations of what I had are also very good!
i have this sub (in 12) and i actually fried the first one i had and had to send it back to Amazon. I had it connected wrong. I only had it wired to one 6x9 instead of both of them lol. i have another one now and wow this thing really gives me what i was looking for. you won't win any awards with it but it does sound really good without being overwhelming.
Sounds pretty good... looking at one of these for my access cab truck. From the outside it looks like the speaker itself is actually a prime series unit. I wonder if they just put a cheap prime sub into a box with an amp and labeled it as a punch series unit. If you have the time I would be interested in seeing a video of the sub removed from the box and confirmed as a true punch series unit.
Rockford fosgate sells this unit on there website it's got an internal 300 watt amp. if you wanted to you could open the box somehow and see if its bridgable if so 600 amps would really help the thump. if not just get a wire hookup from you local speaker shop and get a better amp.
Thanks for the video and installation notes. I am considering the P300-12 and your comments were helpful. I am also curious about your previous system. You mentioned dual 12" subwoofers and an 1800 watt amplifier for $200. Can you share the details of this setup with us? That sounds like a great deal too. Thanks.
I just picked up an 05 MGM and I like the sound of that stock paper cone sound system. It's missing some highs doesn't get down to extreme lows but sounds great in between. Listening to the classic rock radio station and it's like I'm here sounds I haven't heard before or haven't heard in a long time.
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.
i too am interested in the mobility of this type of setup. i had a good 12" in the back of my suv, but it got jacked... My car already has a factory installed 8" infinity subwoofer, but its just not the same... do you think this would be any better than the factory sub?
Try switching your phase switch back to zero, the bass sounded a little muddy. I like that sub; Thinking of picking one up this month. You decided against the RCA option over the high level input? In this case, you do not need the remote on connection at all. Did you connect the remote on to the head or the fuse box?
Holy shit, dude... I mean... no one can ever really replicate bass production, in a youtube video. But... you might have actually picked the absolute worst song possible, in the entire history of youtube.
I guess I'm the only one that realizes the p300 has a prime subwoofer in it. Pretty sure it's an R2D4. I own a P3 and this looks nothing like a punch series subwoofer. just letting you people know it isn't a true Punch woofer
One suggestion - Make sure people people are using good speakers when they listen to your video. Also make sure your using a good mic. Most camcoders have one, but many cellphones don't, decent mic doesn't cost much. The 10" can be had for less than $200 if you shop around.
Cool video. You persuaded me to get this but I opted for the p300-12. Man this thing has some clean base hits. Anyway, I have mine hooked up to an aftermarket stereo in my car. Got it powered to my battery and grounded in my trunk. I also have it connected to some RCA wires to the back of my head unit. My question is this. The blue light on mine is always on even when the car is off. I think on the sub I have it set to come on when it detects an audio signal. This was the only option that kicked the power on. Is this light being on all the time how it should be? Thanks again.
jasko_ I had the same problem, 1 day I opened my trunk and the woofer started making a loud humming so i switched it to DC to detect 12v instead of signal.
I dont know alot about the enclosure amp included setups but that 10 doesnt look anything like a p3 10". At least i dont think. 150 would be underpowered for a p3 punch sub wouldnt it? You said it was 300 watts i just assume 150 x2.
does it drain your car battery much, i just installed mine and i dont want my car battery to be dead one day so do you think its a good idea to get a separate battery for it
Anthony Graham It will turn off when you turn off your car, as long as you have the remote wire wired properly to your head unit, and not jumped off a 12v source.
Let me see if I got this right? You never have to touch the factory radio in the car? You just wire the speakers wires to your speakers that are located in the back of the car? If so, then wow, that will definitely make the DIY job very easy. Please respond asap. Thank you!
most powered subs have a "high level" input option where you split the wires going to the rear speakers right into the sub's input. its not a very good way to do it but it works.
Thanks for review. I'm thinking about getting this... Now that it's been a couple of weeks since you posted this do you have any further thoughts on the sub?
One question for you, explain the wiring. I want to purchase one. Do you need rca cables for this to the back of the deck? And what do you need to wire this?
I installed this same amp in my 2000 civic..did everything needed to do for completion. But when I tried to start the car it would not start and no amp sound?? Removed the positive amp wire and car started...question could this be a bad grd?? I didn’t check the fuses in the amp BTW .
And yeah if u take song request can I suggest 2 the 1st one is Go hard by Lecrae And the 2nd one is A mili by Little Wayne let me know what u think and mention my name in the fid so I know that I found the right vid that u posted to my Request thank man and hope 2 hear it soon PEACE. Y
I had this professionally installed (didn’t really ask for it) and it’s a gigantic disappointment properly classified as Better than Nothing. I get better performance out of Altec Lansing 8 inch speakers. If you say otherwise, I suspect you are trying to save face.
+Mike Tech I can't say I have. For around 300$ it sounds like a decent deal. I was going to get it for my first car but I didn't end up buying it because it would've voided my warranty.
Am I missing something or is it pointless to judge the sound quality of a speaker by listening to a low quality digital recreation in youtube?
Hahahahahaha
Same as a computer screen review or speaker review of any kind of a tv review.
No absolutely not wrong
I still really like it. Like I mentioned, it's nothing insane, just some nice balance to add to your [stock] mids & highs.
Absolutely. It's not going to be anything over-the-top but it will definitely add some balance to your mids/highs.

Reasonable bass at a reasonable price. +1

i have it on my tc and its sound pretty good for a hatch
I feel like this would be perfect for a home sound system
your boyfriend will love your new sound system
Sir Reed sure he would 😉
ugh gay 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I like how it’s all held in by a racketing strap
WOW that don't sound bad at all that sounds pretty good for the one 10in
i have this sub (in 12) and i actually fried the first one i had and had to send it back to Amazon. I had it connected wrong.

+ThePicardo Still rockin it or whats your setup now?
ThePicardo thinking about getting the 10. So you have to have it connected to both speakers in the truck 6×9s?
@@gregr2951 or to rca jacks in back of aftermarket stereo.
Thanks! Sounds great!
Nice review thanks!
Just installed p500-12p need help with fine tuning the three dials on the side
Thinking about getting the p500.. how's yours working for you?
@@baty6284 still bumping I like the solid 50 lbs unit..1year so far
Thank you.. I've heard they don't last many years. I don't daily drive mine so hopefully it'll last longer
Thanks for the review. Make sure to connect to a high end speaker and not your phone when listening to the demo :-)
Drifting in a FWD 😂 I like this guy.
BerlinaS2K he got my like after that one
*Sliding
might sound better with the trunk closed as it was a rear facing sub

you should make an install video...... said no one ever. 😂😂😂
ST7 18 I’m wishing someone would actually . How do I install one of these in my Tacoma 12?🍻
Lmao I spit my drink out to this comment. Thank you . 🤣😂
Great vid...do you think this will be good to install in the trunk of a mercury grand marquis??

1 in a reg cab truck hits pretty hard
I want to buy one to install it in my sisters car as a gift. It needs to be compact an not too extreme. Would you think this would be a good fit?
i too am interested in the mobility of this type of setup. i had a good 12" in the back of my suv, but it got jacked... My car already has a factory installed 8" infinity subwoofer, but its just not the same... do you think this would be any better than the factory sub?

My Rockford keeps blowing a fuse immediate same exact one doesn’t make any sense idk how to tell
just purchased a p300 10 wonder if I should of gone with the p300 12
Humberto Jacquez from what I hear, they sound about the same
you might hear more lows though
Quick Sipper I've had it for few months and can't complain gives me just enough and don't even have it more than 1/4 turned up
How do you like it? Might get it myself
Good tune! Now when I get my p300-12 I'll blast some Kravitz too! Let love rule!
Whats that thing called where you've got your blue and white wire as well as your signal cable putted in?
Holy shit, dude...
I mean... no one can ever really replicate bass production, in a youtube video.
But... you might have actually picked the absolute worst song possible, in the entire history of youtube.
why
My fuse on this sub keeps blowing even with everything installed properly, isnt it supposed to be 15a fuses? Manual says 30a
If the manual says 30a then itll be 30 😂🤦🏽♂️
I just ordered this on ebay but the 12 inch version.. i hope its really good
Anyone compared this to the same powered box with a 10 by JL audio? Which hits harder?
About the same, Jl is a little cleaner imo
Is this just for bass alone or voice and entire sound of the song that u play on your deck , including bass tweeter , voices etc
I guess I'm the only one that realizes the p300 has a prime subwoofer in it. Pretty sure it's an R2D4. I own a P3 and this looks nothing like a punch series subwoofer. just letting you people know it isn't a true Punch woofer

Did you keep the ratchet strap or do something more "permanent"?
I have the same problem as you did with your rockford P300 and was wondering what you did to fix it. Anyone who can help with it would be appreciated!

i blew the included sub but the amp is still good. what spec do i need for a doual voice coil 10 inch sub? how many ohms do i need? thanks!
+RW Take the sub out and take it to any stereo shop and ask them to show you a few options with the same specs.
thanks
This would be the perfect gift!
Haha that strap though
Just FYI 😜 you can run it on max 24/7 365 ! And never ever blow that subwoofer that's the whole point of having an internal amp
Which door speakers do u have?
I dont know alot about the enclosure amp included setups but that 10 doesnt look anything like a p3 10". At least i dont think. 150 would be underpowered for a p3 punch sub wouldnt it? You said it was 300 watts i just assume 150 x2.

can you please help me on the cables ill need ? :/
Witch one is more better P300-10 or P300-12
I have this same exact sub, and the same problem you had, where can I get the fuse?
How's the punch. Does the inside of the car vibrate
Definitely not much louder than 8" powered mtx sub. Next project. P3 10 in ported box in prius. N sell this sub asap.
your wires are showing bruh
Quick Sipper gives the car more character its like it has internal veins or corn rows
8 ga wire is smaller than 4ga
Where did you strap the ratchet to on the side of the vehicle?
Why that ghetto strap?? You dont need that
Thanks for review. I'm thinking about getting this...
Now that it's been a couple of weeks since you posted this do you have any further thoughts on the sub?
Yea in this date of 12-2020 it's been 8 years and a couple of weeks. What's the verdict?!!
What was the first test song?
One question for you, explain the wiring. I want to purchase one. Do you need rca cables for this to the back of the deck? And what do you need to wire this?
+Gene Obermam That sir, is a request.
I installed this same amp in my 2000 civic..did everything needed to do for completion. But when I tried to start the car it would not start and no amp sound?? Removed the positive amp wire and car started...question could this be a bad grd?? I didn’t check the fuses in the amp BTW .
So is it still working? Got mine on 5/26/17 and I love it but a few reviews on amazon scared me that it won't last long.
What’d you hear? I’m thinking of getting one of these things.
David Armstrong any update?
can i install 2 12 if yes what will i need
Which is better this or jbl bass pro 12
infinity bass link really good
Have had my Bass Link for 6+ years and still kickin.
Can you use this with 10 gauge wire? Or does it have to be 8?
Nathan Nguyen 8
And yeah if u take song request can I suggest 2 the 1st one is Go hard by Lecrae And the 2nd one is A mili by Little Wayne let me know what u think and mention my name in the fid so I know that I found the right vid that u posted to my Request thank man and hope 2 hear it soon PEACE. Y
How was the install for this?

2 12" and 1800watts for 200bucks....where?
2 10” P-300 @ 600 watts will sound the same, I promise.
How low can it hit well?
+Mark R How well do the lows hit?
Mike Tech That's what I meant.
Mark R
You ever find out though?
+Mike Tech I can't say I have. For around 300$ it sounds like a decent deal. I was going to get it for my first car but I didn't end up buying it because it would've voided my warranty.
Mark R
Do you have a sub now? If so, which and how does it sound?
Same car I have but manual haha
When he holds the camera up to the mirror and it's not moving at all lol
That exact speaker in a reg cab truck adjusted right hits pretty hard
Not enough bass turn the gain all the way up ignore the head unit
that music.. rofl
its supposed to be an under seat box
No its not, its way to big!
Man ! What a crap install .
Vid not fid lol
Thats a nice sub. seems very nice . did you just finish installing it?
subscribe check out my vids/channel .
Bassknots
all these reviews have so many dislikes because no one knows how to actually review sound or have 0 experience w speakers
Man, sorry but what horrible music for this demo
Extremely lackluster "demo".
Mannnnnn get yo receipt and go get your money back
Use bluetooth its sounds better
crappy install
