Rockford Fosgate R2S-1X12 Prime 12" R2S Shallow Loaded Enclosure

Rockford Fosgate R2S-1X12 Prime R2S 12" Shallow Loaded Enclosure Slim Profile, Real Bass

Product Overview

The Rockford Fosgate R2S-1X12 is a single 12" shallow loaded enclosure housing a Prime R2S shallow subwoofer (R2SD4-12), rated at 250 Watts RMS and 500 Watts peak, internally pre-wired to a 2-ohm load. Designed specifically for single-cab trucks, utes, and vehicles where under-seat and behind-seat depth is severely restricted, the R2S-1X12 delivers genuine 12" bass output from a slim-line wedge profile just 8.26 cm deep at the top and 13.34 cm at the base fitting where traditional enclosures simply cannot.

Part of the Rockford Fosgate Prime series, the R2S-1X12 is purpose-engineered to balance accessible pricing with real-world bass performance. The R2SD4-12 shallow driver is designed specifically for reduced mounting depth, and the wedge enclosure geometry is computer-optimised for single-cab and limited seat-travel installations. Constructed from 5/8" MDF with high-density carpet and 12 AWG quick-release compression terminals, and CEA-2031 compliant, the R2S-1X12 arrives ready to install no custom box building, no driver sourcing, and no enclosure tuning required.

Features & Benefits

• Ultra-slim wedge profile 8.26 cm at top, 13.34 cm at base: Engineered for installations where even slim-profile enclosures won't fit. The wedge geometry maximises internal volume within minimum height, making it purpose-built for single-cab trucks, utes, and vehicles with restricted under-seat or behind-seat depth common in Australian working vehicles.
• Prime R2S shallow 12" driver (R2SD4-12): The R2SD4-12 is specifically engineered for shallow mounting depth, not a standard driver forced into an undersized box. The result is accurate, controlled bass output suited to the sealed shallow enclosure alignment it is designed for.
• 250W RMS / 500W peak power handling: Accessible power requirements compatible with a wide range of entry-level and mid-range mono amplifiers. Pre-wired to 2 ohms for straightforward amplifier pairing confirm your amplifier's 2-ohm power rating before purchase.
• Pre-wired to 2 ohms: Factory internal wiring presents a 2-ohm load to the amplifier. No internal wiring configuration required connect your amplifier to the 12 AWG compression terminals and go.
• Optimised wedge design for single-cab trucks and limited seat travel: The wedge shape is specifically noted by Rockford Fosgate as optimised for single-cab truck and ute installations where seat travel limits available height. The tapered profile fits neatly behind and under seats where a flat-bottomed enclosure would not clear seat movement.
• CEA-2031 compliant: Power handling figures comply with the CEA-2031 standard for loaded subwoofer enclosures, providing a verified and comparable specification.
• 5/8" MDF construction: Rigid enclosure walls minimise panel flex and resonance at sustained 250W RMS input levels, ensuring consistent bass reproduction in the shallow sealed alignment.
• High-density carpet finish: Durable, professional appearance suited to daily under-seat and behind-seat use in Australian utes, trucks, and SUVs.
• 12 AWG quick-release compression terminals: Tool-free wiring connection and disconnection. Practical for installs where the enclosure may need to be temporarily removed common in ute and single-cab configurations.
• Lightweight at 11.15 kg: Easy to handle and install for a single person, making it a practical DIY-friendly option for Australian ute and truck owners.
• Prime series value positioning: The R2S-1X12 delivers Rockford Fosgate engineering and factory tuning at the accessible Prime series price point a genuine step up from generic shallow enclosures without the cost of the Punch P3S shallow range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What amplifier does the R2S-1X12 require? The R2S-1X12 is pre-wired to 2 ohms and handles 250W RMS. A mono amplifier stable at 2 ohms and rated at or near 250W RMS at 2 ohms is recommended such as a compatible Rockford Fosgate Prime or Punch mono amplifier. Confirm your amplifier's 2-ohm rating before purchase.

How shallow is the R2S-1X12 enclosure? The R2S-1X12 wedge profile is 13.34 cm deep at the base and just 8.26 cm deep at the top, with an overall height of 34.29 cm and width of 69.53 cm. It is specifically optimised for single-cab trucks and utes where seat travel limits available mounting depth.

How does the R2S-1X12 compare to the Punch P3S-1X12? Both are shallow sealed wedge enclosures for behind-seat ute and truck installs. The P3S-1X12 uses a higher-pedigree Punch P3S shallow driver with 400W RMS power handling and 10 AWG terminals. The R2S-1X12 uses a Prime R2S shallow driver with 250W RMS and 12 AWG terminals making it the more budget-accessible shallow loaded enclosure option in the Rockford Fosgate range.

Is the R2S-1X12 a sealed or vented enclosure? The R2S-1X12 is a sealed shallow wedge enclosure. The sealed design delivers controlled, accurate bass response suited to the shallow driver alignment and the space-restricted mounting environments this enclosure is designed for.

Is the R2S-1X12 easy to install without professional help? Yes. At 11.15 kg and with 12 AWG quick-release compression terminals, the R2S-1X12 is a manageable DIY install for a single person. Connect power, ground, signal, and speaker wiring to a compatible 2-ohm mono amplifier and the system is ready to use.
