Features & Benefits

• Single 12" Prime R1 subwoofer with anodized aluminium voice coil former: Rockford Fosgate's signature anodized aluminium voice coil former transfers heat away from the voice coil more efficiently than standard paper or plastic formers, delivering superior power handling at the 200W rating and better long-term reliability under sustained use.
• Sealed enclosure for deep, accurate low bass: The sealed design delivers the deep, tight, and controlled low bass response preferred for music genres and listening preferences where accuracy and low-frequency extension matter. A natural choice for Australian drivers who want clean, musical bass rather than loud, one-note output.
• 200W power handling: Accessible power requirements compatible with a wide range of entry-level and mid-range mono amplifiers. The most approachable power level in the Rockford Fosgate loaded enclosure catalogue ideal for first subwoofer installations and factory system upgrades.
• Quick-release terminals: Designed for fast enclosure removal and reinstallation without cutting wires. Practical for ute and SUV owners in Australia who regularly access boot storage or need to temporarily remove the subwoofer.
• 5/8" MDF construction: Rigid enclosure walls minimise panel flex and resonance, ensuring the sealed alignment performs as designed at sustained bass output levels.
• High-density carpet finish: Durable, professional appearance suited to daily boot and cargo area use in Australian vehicles. More resilient than standard carpet to the scrapes and abrasion common in working ute environments.
• Prime series value positioning: The R1-1X12 delivers Rockford Fosgate engineering including the signature anodized voice coil former at the most accessible price point in the Prime loaded enclosure range. A clear step up in quality from generic budget loaded enclosures available at similar price points.
• Plug-and-play loaded enclosure: Subwoofer and enclosure factory-assembled and ready to install. Connect power, ground, signal, and speaker wiring to a compatible amplifier and the system is operational no enclosure building, no driver installation, no tuning required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What amplifier does the R1-1X12 require? The R1-1X12 handles 200W. A mono amplifier rated at or near 200W at the enclosure's impedance is recommended. Confirm the pre-wired impedance with your supplier before selecting an amplifier to ensure correct matching.

What is the advantage of the anodized aluminium voice coil former? Anodized aluminium conducts heat away from the voice coil more efficiently than paper or plastic formers, allowing the driver to handle its rated power more reliably over sustained use. It is a Rockford Fosgate signature feature that differentiates the R1 driver from generic budget subwoofers at a similar price point.

Is the R1-1X12 sealed or vented? The R1-1X12 is a sealed enclosure. Sealed designs deliver deep, tight, and controlled bass response with good low-frequency extension preferred for listeners who prioritise bass accuracy and musicality over maximum volume output.

How does the R1-1X12 compare to the Prime R2S shallow loaded enclosures? The R1-1X12 is a standard-depth sealed enclosure providing deep, accurate bass in a full boot or cargo area installation. The R2S-1X12 and R2S-1X10 are shallow sealed wedge enclosures designed for space-restricted behind-seat and under-seat installations. Choose the R1-1X12 for full bass performance where depth is available; choose an R2S model where mounting depth is severely restricted.

Can the R1-1X12 be quickly removed from my vehicle? Yes. The R1-1X12 features quick-release terminals specifically designed for fast enclosure removal and reinstallation without cutting or reconnecting wires a practical feature for ute and SUV owners who regularly access boot storage space.
