Rockford Fosgate T3S2-19 Power 19" T3 Single 2-Ohm Superwoofer

Rockford Fosgate T3S2-19 Power 19" T3 Single 2-Ohm Superwoofer The Largest, Most Powerful Subwoofer Rockford Fosgate Has Ever Built

Product Overview

The Rockford Fosgate T3S2-19 is a 19" single 2-ohm superwoofer from the flagship Power T3 series the largest and most powerful subwoofer Rockford Fosgate has ever produced. With 19 inches of effective radiating cone area and a dual gap multi-pole neodymium push/pull motor structure, the T3S2-19 is purpose-built for Australian car audio enthusiasts who demand the absolute maximum in low-frequency output, power handling, and engineering ambition from a single driver.

The T3S2-19 introduces technologies developed specifically for this platform. The injection-moulded foam surround delivers the durability and consistent compliance of a rubberised material in a foam format, combined with VAST (Vertical Attach Surround Technique) to maximise effective radiating cone area across the full 19" diameter. An edge wound aluminium 5" single-layer voice coil with push/pull dual winding configuration eliminates the air gaps between windings that cause heat retention in conventional winding methods, maintaining voice coil temperature during sustained high-power use. The three-layer glass fibre/Aramid honeycomb/glass fibre composite cone, aluminium die-cast basket with integrated heat sink fins and venting, custom 4 AWG push spring terminals, and proprietary surround mechanical clamping ring complete a driver that is, in every respect, in a class of its own.

Features & Benefits

• 19" effective radiating cone area the largest Rockford Fosgate has ever built: At 19 inches, the T3S2-19 produces more cone surface area than any subwoofer Rockford Fosgate has ever manufactured. More cone area means more air displaced per unit of excursion delivering deeper, higher-output bass from a single driver than any smaller-diameter subwoofer can match at equivalent excursion levels.
• Dual gap multi-pole neodymium push/pull motor structure: The push/pull motor configuration places voice coil windings in two magnetic gaps simultaneously one pushing and one pulling the cone effectively doubling the active motor force contribution relative to a single-gap design of equivalent magnet mass. Neodymium magnets provide the strongest magnetic field per unit mass available, enabling an exceptionally powerful motor assembly within the physical constraints of even a 19" driver.
• Single layer edge wound aluminium 5" voice coil with push/pull dual windings: Edge winding positions the aluminium ribbon flat against the former with no air gaps between turns the most thermally efficient winding method available, allowing heat generated during high-power input to transfer rapidly to the former and dissipate. The 5" diameter voice coil provides a large surface area for heat dissipation and a long winding length for high motor force. Push/pull dual windings in the dual-gap motor work in concert to maximise driving force and linearity across the full excursion range.
• Three-layer glass fibre/Aramid honeycomb/glass fibre composite cone: A sandwich composite structure combining two stiff glass fibre skins with an Aramid (Kevlar-family) honeycomb core. The honeycomb core provides extremely high stiffness-to-mass ratio the cone is rigid enough to behave as a true piston at the high excursion levels a 19" driver operates at, without the mass penalty of a solid composite. Aramid honeycomb is the same structural concept used in aerospace panel applications.
• Injection-moulded foam surround with VAST technology: The injection-moulded process produces a foam surround with consistent cell structure and density throughout delivering the compliance uniformity of a precision rubber surround with the lighter mass of foam. VAST repositions the surround attachment to maximise effective radiating cone area across the full 19" diameter, reclaiming surface area that would otherwise be consumed by the surround.
• Proprietary surround mechanical clamping ring: A mechanical clamping ring physically secures the surround to the cone and basket simultaneously, providing a retention system beyond adhesive bonding alone. At the excursion levels and driving forces a 19" push/pull motor generates, the clamping ring ensures surround attachment integrity over the long term.
• Dual Nomex progressive spiders with integrated lead wires: Dual progressive spiders provide linear restoring force symmetry across the full, considerable excursion range of a 19" push/pull motor driver. Integrated lead wires eliminate the separate tinsel lead removing a common failure point in a driver engineered for extreme excursion.
• Aluminium die-cast basket with integrated heat sink fins and venting: The basket fins and venting actively manage thermal output from the motor and voice coil during sustained high-power use. At the power levels the T3S2-19 is designed to handle, passive thermal management at the basket level is a meaningful contributor to long-term reliability.
• Custom push spring insulated 4 AWG terminals: The heaviest terminal gauge in the Rockford Fosgate subwoofer range, appropriate for the extraordinary current demands of this superwoofer at high power input. 4 AWG push spring terminals allow fast, secure wiring for the cable gauges a system of this scale demands.
• Integrated die-cast aluminium trim ring: Provides a finished, professional installation appearance at the cutout. Integrated into the basket casting for a permanent, rigid finish.
• Single 2-ohm voice coil simplified wiring: Despite the complexity of the motor structure, the T3S2-19 presents a direct 2-ohm load to the amplifier. No wiring configuration required connect a 2-ohm stable high-output mono amplifier and go.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the T3S2-19 a "superwoofer" rather than a standard subwoofer? The T3S2-19 earns the superwoofer designation through its 19" effective radiating cone area the largest ever produced by Rockford Fosgate combined with a dual gap multi-pole neodymium push/pull motor structure, edge wound 5" voice coil, and three-layer Aramid honeycomb composite cone. These are technologies and specifications in a class beyond conventional subwoofer engineering, designed for enthusiasts who require the absolute maximum in single-driver bass output.

What amplifier does the T3S2-19 require? The T3S2-19 presents a direct 2-ohm load and requires the highest-output mono amplifier available that is stable at 2 ohms. Confirm the recommended amplifier power rating with Rockford Fosgate's official T3S2-19 documentation or a qualified installer before specifying an amplifier the power handling figures for this driver are not provided in the supplier data and must be confirmed before system design.

What is the push/pull motor structure and why is it significant? The dual gap push/pull motor places voice coil windings in two separate magnetic gaps simultaneously one gap's field pushes the cone while the other pulls, effectively doubling the active driving force compared to a single-gap design. Combined with a dual-pole neodymium magnet structure, this produces exceptional motor efficiency and linearity across the full excursion range of a 19" driver.

What enclosure does the T3S2-19 require? The T3S2-19 requires a custom enclosure built specifically to Rockford Fosgate's published enclosure specifications for this driver. Standard enclosure design calculators and generic subwoofer box designs are not appropriate for a 19" superwoofer with a push/pull motor. Confirm sealed and ported enclosure volumes and port tuning with Rockford Fosgate documentation or a qualified installer before building.

Is the T3S2-19 suitable for a street-driven Australian vehicle? The T3S2-19 is designed for dedicated audio vehicles, show builds, and competition SPL installations where an enclosure bay can be purpose-built to the required specifications. While it can be installed in a street-driven vehicle with appropriate fabrication, professional system design, enclosure building, and electrical system upgrades are essential. This is not a plug-and-play driver it demands a complete, purpose-designed system build.
