Got a kick out of the hand joke
Ran a t2 13 years ago and loved it. Didn’t push hard enough for the cost, was awesome but went to a solo x 12 and smashes expectations. It’s literally out the door, vehicle change, and am looking at Steve Meade for ideas. Great vid and wish the best.
Have an older t2 and man it's half the power and is impressive. The quality is amazing. Simply just beautiful. They keep improving every generation and this one is no exception. The t2 is everything in one package. May not be the best in any one category but at the end of the day won't let you down with abuse. Got lucky and landed mine for less than 10% of the cost of this in a custom box
2:30 I didn’t realize you got the guy from Scary Movie to to use his strong hand 🧐

The hand reference was hilarious! Especially since you just kept going.
About 15 years ago when I first got into car stereo, the big shit on the market was the JL 13-w7 and the Kicker Solo-Baric L7. i was always surprised by how powerful the 13w7 was even with minimal power put to it. The L7 was just stupid loud for no good reason.

I had one L7 12 in a 3 cubic ft box sealed on an spl1200.2 2ohm amp bridged. It probably only put out 700/800w maybe, but it definitely rocked that L7, I kept burning up the tinsel leads and fixing them, then I traded it for something lol now I run a single sundown x12v2 on a skv2.2500 at 1ohm with a mechman 370a elite and 2 yellow tops.. boy things have gotten bigger and better since them days 15 years ago.. I'm 35 and still loving the hobby, just kinda getting back into it the past couple years.. we never had big alternators back then, we'll I didnt.. this this holds my voltage at 14.4v easily full tilt, I need to go bigger I guess
That hand part was the perfect way to start my day!!! I about died of laughter!
This was the best, most detailed and hilarious unboxing vid i've seen.
This is a fantastic review. Educational too which helps understand the value of the product unboxed.
I love my 13.5 w3’s. I cant imagine how good they would sound ported.

Wonder if I can hit the resonance frequency of my engine again and mess up the timing with this sub?
Been waiting to see you do a more spl focused build. Really looking forward to seeing the results. Very nice sir!
Great vid, can't wait for more!
People complain about the price. It seems like it’s a competitor to the JL 13w7 which is also around $1300. This seems well built and well done

Yeah, they are both overpriced. But, by all means keep buying it so they can justify the price.
Rockford Fosgate has always been my favorite and makes the best quality and best sound quality stuff on the market. I wish they weren't so expensive, or I would run all Rockford. I run Skar VXF 12s now. Rockford should do an SPL series and a SQ series that competes with Skar, Sundown, DD, etc. in price and power. But also have a SQ line that Competes with Jl Audio, etc.
Lmao....yeah look at my hand😂
Could you get a recone for that in case if your bass knob had gone all the way to the right?
Experimented with 2xP2s for my first build. Not fully satisfied with the air movement but sound quality is great and discrete. Gonna be switching to T1s for half the price of this sub. But if I ever find myself wanting two T1s I might as well get a single T2. This is one beefy subwoofer.
Looks like the perfect tool for rust removal.
That thing is a beast! Can't wait to see the rest of the series!

I want to cut a rectangular hole in the metal between my 2 rear speakers in my 1995 accord. I want to put two 5-7 inch (depending on what will fit) subs in that space, and I want to put a box with two 12-13 inch subs under them in the trunk. Can I build a box for the big subs, cut a hole in it and build a chimney box on the top of that hole? Or should the different boxes use separate interior airspace?
That's pretty cool. Personally I'm running the DD audio 612 series 12 inch sub in the long competition box. Peaks at 1800 watts for a single 12. Also running dd audio 6.5 inch door speakers and dd audio 6x9s with built in tweeters. With a pioneer radio. It's not the loudest set up,but it has hella good quality.
Hey Mark, I'm upgrading the sound system on my jeep wrangler 2 doors, like the one you installed this sub, but I'm debating myself on which one sub to use, I'm installing everything Rockford and my question in your opinion is which one would be better the T2 13inch or the T2 16inch? I don't have back seat so space is not a big deal, also would like to buy one of your blueprints for the one I choose, also it would be awesome if you have blueprint for the beauty panels, thanks!
Very nice subwoofer. Thank you for this video.
hey love the videos ive been watching you for quite some time and i love usefull info you put into your videos that some people often look over im not a giant fan of RF tho still a quality video tho ... quick question do u have any thoughts on the ds18 hooligan 15? literately nobody has reviewed them

Nice. Glad to see you stepping up your bass a little bit. Your fabrication skills are undeniable. Curious if you're going to do a sealed or ported. I'm thinking sealed. I know Rockford suggests 4ft³ but I'm sure that sub can be used in 2.75-3ft³. probably around 40-45in² Port area.
Rockford T2 13" vs Focal ES 30 KX, I want to know sound quality and SPL comparison between this two.
Cant you buy 2 fi sp4v2 18s for the same price?

Love oddball sizes like the focal Kx40 and Kx33. Would love to hear that it's control range In a large sealed application. Looks like it could behave very linear.
Hey do you have a video on truck boxes for 17-19 gmc sierras? Would love to see that as i will be upgrading soon.
Would that be good for a shallow mount, under seat box?

Good video That sub is a beast And your hand is terrorific
Nice sub, waiting for second episode)
Wow the ported box would boom so much, and in a sealed box it will kick hard too. I like it.
hello mate, rf t2s3 which amp should I use for 13 ”sub? Would it be t1500.1?
This sub is insane I have it too and I'm up to 150db with no issues it's a bad ass beast..
That thing is a monster!
How would you compare this against the orion hcca 15.2 ?
What is the frequency response? Compared to the JL W7. Is the sound quality better or worse? I listen to electronic music and want quality
I had a 84 Monte Carlo SS with 2 Redline 8 inch subs cut directly into the back seat. What's better this configuration or speaker box in the trunk?

I have 4 t1d212's on an orion 3000.1dsplx. I couldn't be happier except i can't get my mids and highs to keep up. Do it you won't be disappointed
Serious question. I have a 4 door pick up. Why do so many videos/people recommend down firing subs? Wouldn't up firing sound better? And would forward firing single in the middle sound better still? What about thin units under the front seats?
perfect job reviewing this nice sub, that thing is awesome. can't wait to see your box build, I got a feeling it will be as nice as the sub👍
I would ask which subwoofer you prefer but seeing that u have the T2-13 already so it goes without saying. So why the T213 over the 13W7AE? At the time of this video they seem to be about the same cost.
if dual T2S2-13 does it fit in T4000 amp?
Can you make a videos about passive radiator? It's sounds like a good idea, you get the tuneablitiy of a ported box without that annoying port noise
That sub is beastly
Can you do a video on a full system that's high value but simple enough in more than one vehicle? Like head unit, amp, sub, (can do speakers) but if a person is in a nice vehicle with decent audio but want better results at the higher volumes, and whatever else is needed?
How does it compare to a W7 as far as SQ and depth of bass?
Lol the tiny hand had me rollin
Definitely some unique designs.
Your Deadpool hand was spot on!
do you do custom instals for other people, if so where are you located?
2:30 lol "garb my strong hand"
I think I've commented on every single one of your videos. My 02 Tahoe is giving me problems I disconnected the factory ampbut my aftermarket amps I put in there keep going into protection when the bass hits hard . I was watching another video that explains how the 02 Tahoe or the 5.7 vortec engine they put in them put out too much power one guy recommended unplugging a plug on the alternator that did work until I was going down the road and my Tahoe slowly died lol I watch the lights get dimmer and the windshield wipers gradually got slower and slower so I freaked out and pulled over and hooked that plug back up how can I get around not using a converter then things don't put out enough power to run two amps or even one of the amps I have ... Hopefully you will help me out or anybody for that matter that sees this
Fogot all about this channel, been subbed for a long time... LOL TY KZread.
Is there a big difference in sound with RF and a JL 13 W7?
I got a good idea for that subwoofer, mail it to me! Hahaha I have a 12 inch T1 in my truck and I love it

The background music is the intro music for my favorite movie snatch nice
My personal opinion Rockford is still the best with subs and amps. I just seen the 2019 preview for the new prime series amps with clean indicator set up and they call them entry level
Trying to build a Rockford fosgate T2 13" subwoofer for 2012 Honda Accord EX-L V6
That sub is super dope!
Just curious as to when you'll be showing it in a box. I've built a few for these and am wondering what design you come up with.
Was this a single voice coil subwoofer or dual voice coil mine has a single voice coil and tensel leads on the other side that don't connect to nothing they are just on the spider
In love!!
Rockford's website says it is "Klippel Verified". Did they release the klippel report for it? I'd love to see the BL curve for that sub.
Looks beefy🤤 Speaker size is usually messured between screwholes or outer ring though
The classic deadpool hand gag, epic!
looks like a 15'' , awesome!

That's one hell of a subwoofer. Liked the hand joke.
