As with any subwoofer, ensure the amplifier and enclosure or mounting location are compatible with the speaker's power and space requirements.

Verify mounting depth and cutout dimensions for your vehicle or enclosure before purchase. Plan amplifier power and wiring to match the DVC impedance options. Product specifications and additional installation details are available from the manufacturer's product page and support resources.

Manufacturer details
Rockford Fosgate P3S 12" shallow mount subwoofer delivers “Punch” even when depth is limited. The P3SD2-12 features Dual 2-Ohm voice coils for wiring flexibility and 400 Watts RMS power handling.
Additional details
The Rockford Fosgate P3S 12" shallow mount subwoofer delivers Punch, even in depth limited situations. Rockford Fosgate understands all vehicles are not the same, because some cannot accommodate deep subwoofers. In the past, that meant no Bass. Not anymore! Now even depth challenged vehicles can have REAL Bass and the Dual Voice Coil allow configurations for every application. Shallow woofers are specifically designed for spaces where a traditional woofer cannot be used.
