I disagree... Personally I think Rockford is way overpriced and there are many subs and amps that blow Rockford straight out of the water. Personally I'd rather have an Infinity Perfect or a W7 and many other subs (too many to list) over a hx2.

alot of people seem to dislike rockford for stupid reason......I bet alot of people never really used rockford fosgate products but now i am not saying everybody but i know some havent and it also depend on what type music you listen to and what are you expecting to get out of system compition or sq...i dont knock anything til i try it. lol not even boss stuff. They are must be ok cause i have seen people with boss and there system sounds good.

i agree rf is one of the best subs for the price you can get tehm for you can get the power hx2 for like 259 on the net as for jl and **** you will pay alot more the w7 is some thi like 500 a piece yea infinity is sweet but they are expensive too and they are for sq mostly not spl and wen you over power them the cone sometimes seperates from the suround. this is what i think too but thats just my opinion.

I've tried Rockford products before and they are not worth the money. I had an 800.2 and it was not worth the money I paid for it. I'd much rather have a JBL 1200.1 than the 800.2 and the 1200.1 is about $100 cheaper so... I've also seen a 3 hx2s bust out a rear window in an Expedition but they just aren't as impressive as other subs I have seen

i like my hx2's just fine thnx for askin!!LOL

anywho, opinions are like as#$%^, everyone has one, me2!

again enviroment has ALOT to do with how a sub sounds as well as the power going to it. rf, kicker,mtx,cv,idq,treo,OZ and the list goes on and on and on all make quality stuff and after that it becomes a matter of personal preferance. some are better than others, the fun comes in listening to them and trying to beat them and then deciding for yourself!

i'm done...................

i used to sell those to stores "FuNky PuP" woofers lol the 10's at our cost were under a buck and the 12's were under 2 bucks and the 15's were about 3.50 and a good paper weight weighed more lol and for someone of my taste....i have seen more pure junk than i care to admit

Okay, again to clarify myself I don't dislike Rockford stuff. I believe that if you can find anything made by RF for a good price that you should definitly buy it. I don't like the price of RF gear in audio stores. It is sefinitly way overpriced there. Right now, I'm looking and 1 hx2 on ebay right now and its $225. Thats okay, BUT, me, I'd rather have a pair in Infinity Perfects. As for amps (prices compared on ebay) I would buy a RF amp but I'd rather have something like a Phoenix Gold or Earthquake. They are about the same price range as RF on ebay but to me, they are worth the money. Don't get me wrong, RF is a great company and will still be selling stuff sucessfully when my grandchildren are getting into car audio. i just hope that the prices on their stuff would drop a little. By the way, I have been looking on a pretty decent priced 800.2 on ebay, and if the price is right, I might get it.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I have a question. I have just bought one 12" rfr 3112(power hx2) It has 2 2ohm voice coils. now my question is, how do i wire them for 2 ohms???

I was told you cant wire them for two ohms. only 1ohm or 4ohms. I bought the rockford bd1000.1 amp to power the sub. it gives off 500 watts at 4ohms but i want to give them the 1000watts the amp gives at 2 ohms. Can any one help????

 

[audiolife 5,000+ posts]

Rockford is a good company they offer you a 3 year warrenty for there amps and if you find the right place you can get the power hx2's for cheap i found a 15 for 285 and i havd one in a 3.5 ^3 box slot ported tuned for a 30 hz and it sounded dam good i had a bd 1000 on it at a 1ohm it also depends on the person but for the money rockford is the way to go 500 bucks for a 12 jlw7 is to much the perfect you can find for a 190 on the net just do some searching and listening before you knock something the hx2 woofers i dont care for you need the power series they are comparable to the w7 jl i heard 2 12w7's with a 500 jl amp on ea ch one and it didnt hit know where as hard as my 15 power hx2 same amout of wattage too now i am running 2 jl audio 15 w6 woofers with a bd1000 on each one and it hits like hell if you can find them get some w6 woofers they are really clean woofers it depends on the person make your own choice but for the bucks find a company that gives rockfords warrenty
