Opinions on Rockford 12" T2???

[adas Pro Seller]

Hey I have a guy that after lots of discusing says that a Rockford T212d2 would be very good for me. Now he is a pro box builder, comp winner and everything and he's planning to build a box for 1 for me..

I have an eD Nine.1 amp for now so about 1300ish watts to work with

Now, Whats you opinion on the T2...is it a good compramise of sq and spl even though its regarded as a ? It is supposed to sound VERY good in the box he'll put it in....and also be extremely loud. I'm coming from 2 13W6s, so wondering how much less SQ i'll get.

But would there be something better to get in the $3-500 range that would be better, that would fit in a ported box with about 3.4ft^3 gross, and a sub that LOOKS good too? The FI Q just looks fugly to me:crap:

Thanks

2 13W6's are better than anything Rockford makes. Unless you are an SPL nut. Those 2 13's ported should make the hair on your balls shake if you have them installed right.

Well, that's the problem I definatly don't have the trunk space to port both. So it's a single sub...1 13w6 wouldn't make my ball hairs shake in the right box, would it?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

With this T2 I'll supposedly be able to knock off 2 13w7s...as far fetched as it sounds, I believe him after listening to his trunk:eyebrow:

I've heard the T2 is roughly comparable to Pioneer's 3000SPL's. I wouldn't go with rockford simply because of the fact that they are so overpriced.

Is that the only reason? I can get that T2 for about $300. Is a T2 going to be...say louder then a single 05 RE XXX, or FI Q?

r u serious?

i haven't heard the T2's yet but i heard they are suppose to be more sq subs compared to the P3s and such...

well, tsw3k's are $140 new shipped...so about 1/2 the price...

and imo the Q's are daym sexy...

If you can get it that cheap, jump on it. Those T2s are almost indestructible. I have had one T2 15 on a 1501BD for over a year and a half and haven't had any problems. I paid $600 for my 15, so $300 is dirt cheap.

So you recommend them? If they are a nice blend of SQ and spl then I'm a happy camper:yumyum:

Ok....I'm also thinking something else...RE audio MX or a T2? Which is louder, which souns better, or are they comparable?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I don't think the T2's are supposed to sound good. I've heard that rockford subs just don't have the sq that other subs offer... but this is pure heresay.

I've thought it over...and am still wondering would a RE MX, or even a XXX have better SQ while still getting as loud, or almost?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

Hmmm.....I have heard good things about the MX, it will sound better than the T2....but I am not sure if it will be louder.

I'm not jumpin on the bandwagon....and yes, to me the FI's cone is the normal, fugly cone design I just don't like.
I want to know about the woofers themselves, not the prices....please:uhoh:

The RE MX will be a good choice also. I bet you can find an MX for about $470 and the T2 for about $420.

But with the power you have the T2 will make use of it better. Go with the T2.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
