Overview

The Rockford Fosgate Prime R2SD4-12 is a 12" shallow subwoofer designed for installations with limited mounting depth. It delivers 250 Watts RMS and uses a 4‑Ohm dual voice coil for versatile wiring options.

Best for

  • Installations with limited mounting depth
  • Systems that use sealed enclosures
  • Setups needing flexible wiring options via a dual voice coil

Key points

  • 12" shallow driver that reduces required mounting depth via an elevated motor structure
  • 250 Watts RMS power handling
  • 4‑Ohm dual voice coil (DVC) for multiple wiring configurations
  • Mica-injected polypropylene cone for controlled low-frequency response
  • Stamp-cast basket with spider venting to help keep the motor cool
  • Optimized for sealed enclosure performance

Fit and use

Fits tight spaces where a standard-depth subwoofer won't. Use sealed enclosures for which the driver is optimized. The dual voice coil allows series/parallel wiring choices to match amplifier impedance and system needs.

What to know

Rated for 250 Watts RMS — match amplifier power and impedance to the subwoofer's ratings. Dual voice coil wiring changes overall impedance; verify compatibility with the amplifier before wiring. Shallow profile eases installation in constrained locations but does not change the need for an appropriate enclosure volume…
