Quick Qestion - RF T2D212 on ebay

[anger 10+ year member]

Just look for some quick advice or input on this sub

Rockford Fosgate T2D212 12" Dual 2 Ohm Subwoofer 2400W Max 780687330521 | eBay

Deal seems too good to pass up, but am skeptical of the price being almost half off...says new item.

Seem like a safe purchase?

They have good feedback so I'd say so. But I do think you could look into other woofers before dropping so much on that one.

seems safe, but $400 price tag is steep for a 1k rms subwoofer, your basically paying a premium for the brand name and the fancy looks.

So where should I be looking (for something with similar specs) or what brands are proven...I've been stuck on fosgate since I've had a car and most of the shops seem to carry the major manufacturers.

Anything from sundown, dc, sq, aa, dd, tantric, ia, etc etc... will blow the rockford away in the 400 range. If u wanted something different try the dss ethos new subs that need some exposure i think it's $355 shipped for the 15

fosgate is pretty good stuff. some of it is overpriced but its good. Something to consider about that particular site is that fosgate is seriously cracking down on redistribution. Anyone getting caught will have their dealer agreement terminated. When it comes to the power series even more so. The reason it might be so cheap is it might be sold as is or you may have trouble trying to get it warrantied if something happens to it.

I wouldn't' buy that sub at half the price you're looking at it for. Not bagging on Fosgate but their subs are not on par with their amps or the 360. As has been said, there are a LOT of other subs for less money that will outperform this one.

Pioneer is the same... I like their head units but I wouldn't run a free Pioneer sub.

I never like to see subwoofers shrouded with covers. Good engineering and quality craftsmanship have always been more attractive than symmetrical plastic veils to me.

AQ/SQ hdc4 best sub imo for under 400..... will eat every bit of 2500 and ask for more.....

when i was looking for a decent 12, i asked the same question, got the same answers; better for less money. bought the rf anyway, now it sits on the floor, replaced by a dc lvl 4 m2 12, MUCH better sub. so take advice from one who learned the hard way. that aq/sq hdc4 looks good.

Yeah don't spend that much for a name brand. I only have a RF r2d2-10 BC i paid 25.00 for it in Amazon.com warehouse deals. It was brand new

Ok, Thanks for the input everyone....almost purchased without asking. Glad I didn't.
