   I researched for several weeks before purchasing. I read all the reviews,looked at all the specs. I knew I wanted a powered sub, I had a Pioneer supertube 75W 8″ several years ago and loved it. This combo however blows that one away. I am still getting it dialed in but so far the sound is excellent. Bass drums punch hard, bass lines are tight, and rap booms if you want- maybe not as much as seperate componenets or a bandpass box, but plenty. I wanted enough bass to feel but not cause rattles, and got it. It really excels in rock music. I replaced my head unit in my older 4Runner (stock 6 speakers) with a Sony – which has a 7 band equalizer and sub controls, but I hooked up the remote control ( for the gain) anyway. I am glad I did- it is great to tweek for different songs and genres. The sound is great, this sub mixes in well- doesn’t overpower, but it could if you wanted- just sounds like a balanced system should. I have only turned up the volume on the headunit about 50% and about 60% on the sub- good, clean bass. The quality of the box is top-notch, it is hard plastic with a metal grille- very durable and subtle. I actually laid it down rather than standing it up( as shown), mainly due to the only install method it came with was some velcro strips. I used an 8 gauge install kit and works fine.
   It comes with a removable power lug (power, ground, remote) and an adapter for RCA or speaker line, which I wish it had RCA direct plug in to the amp rather than the adapter, but not a dealbreaker at all. I installed it myself, and I am a novice, took my time and hid all the wires well and made a good ground. Very happy and highly recommend- the price on amazon is unbelievable compared to other outlets. I’d rather shop local but when I can save 45%-tough to beat. Great product.

   RF P300-10, January 29, 2014

   I had a Dual 8 Inch subwoofer before this which was 80 watts RMS but after a couple of months, it really wasn’t delivering the bass that I wanted. It was just OK. Good for the price.

   This Rockford P300-10 is AMAZING! It hits hard and the build quality is really nice. I was really debating on the 10 or 12 inch model, but eventually went with the 10 for space reasons. For me, the 10 hits low notes really well, and you can really feel your seat vibrate. Overall this product is freaking awesome, I don’t think you can go wrong with the 10 or 12 inch.

   UPDATE: After 7 months of use it died already.. I had it professionally set up with Geek Squad so I know nothing was done wrong. 7 MONTHS!!!! I’m so disappointed.

   UPDATE2: I went to geeksquad so they could check it out for me, turns out it wasn’t the sub but my RCA cables, sub still works great!

   Powerful sub, great sound, August 9, 2014

   I had this installed yesterday, and I am pretty happy with it. I drove about 3-4 hours today, and listened to a few EDM podcasts (mostly Tritonal). My set up is 2014 Subaru Crosstrek Limited with Navigation, and upgraded Kicker Tweeters and Upgraded Kicker door speakers from Subaru. The Kickers have great mid and highs, offering crystal clear vocals and instrumental sounds. Problem was, there was almost zero bass response. That’s why I got the Rockford Fosgate P300-10.

   It took me about a half hour or so to adjust all of the settings. At first, I was a bit disappointed, but after tuning it, I think I got it pretty close to prefect. I am attaching some pics to this review, to see the Subaru navigation equalizer settings I went with.

   What I listened to:
   Artist: Tritonal
   Genre: EDM

   How it sounds: It sounds like I am seeing them live. Between the Kicker Tweeters and upgraded Kicker speakers, the vocals, sounds and instruments are crystal clear and loud. The Rockford adds a nice kick of bass at low levels. Bass is hard and loud without drowning out anything. I have the bass controller knob turned down towards minimum bass, and it still rattles my mirror and makes the outside rattle a bit at mid-range volume settings on the stereo.
