Rockford Fosgate P3 shallow mounts review?


Recommended Posts

Hell yeah, that dude has the right idea. SA-8s will rock your truck dude. Louder than some 10s and 12s, and have amazing clarity and depth. Pretty decently priced, too. And I'm sure they could take 700 rms. Just don't clip them

SA 8's man or something along those lines, I've never really heard of a shallow mount getting low. You can even look into sundown's new SD series, they are the only shallow-ish subs that look like they can still get fairly low that I've seen so far

how many would u recommend then? 2 still?? and that would be better then 2 12" shallows?

I'd recommend 2. And hell ya, they'd slap on two 12" shallows, in the right box of course. I mean, you could have subs and port facing out of under the seats, and have a lot of box room to mess with.

Have someone design you a box for them then. I'm currently working on designing a ported box for my 12s and it is kinda tough. And lol what kinda friends do you have ? You could make some grills for them

It's just my opinion but I'd take 2 8" subs ported over anything sealed unless it was like in a fourth order or clam shell or something else of that sort. It just gets louder and sounds better in lows usually

so far...

Electric- Big 3 ^same wire

Subs- 2 Obsidian Audio 12 d4's

You know, even one of those 8s would probably sound way better than 2 shallows. It would handle the lows WAY better for sure.

SA-8s require a ported box and a ton more airspace compared to shallows...

I say go with the shallows and keep your space.

what i will do is get the shallows, see how i like em and if i dont like it then ill go ported with the SA's.
