the T1 is probably their best sub. but i like JL, ID, RE, FI, and DD better. kicker i hate because of square subs. i like their amps though. and rockford power amps are good.

My girlfriend have 2 12'' T1s I bought them when they 1st came out and gave them to her so I have been listening to them for a few years now they can get loud not very accurate. the t1s are all boom.
My brother had older 99 Rockford's punch power which were by far more accurate. after he killed those he bought the t2s 15'' which were I liked better threw perfect spl but it was all boom still no accuracy got a little lower waaaay better subs out there. That amps can supply plenty of power though

the t1s were louder then the w6 the w6 had better sq keep in mind t1s are ported and w6 were sealed Rockford had no sealed specs for the subs at that time.

I havent heard the ID i almost bought them but went with avalanch to make sure I got the Lows I need from Rap. I havent heard them in a car yet not once.Im going to replace my w7s with them Got them from the way they sound at a house party 1 18 sound great Loud and got Lower then any sub I have ever heard and got those instead of the ID.
its a board member that had the aa w6 and id maybe he can help you further

personally i always liked RF stuff both their subs & amps - pretty good in my book


u see its because RF has laways been pricey so when other brands come out that r cheaper but performing just as well u see ppl saying it sux but u didnt see ppl saying benz sux when bmx or lexus came out

IMO - what ever brand u like & u can afford it then dont let price or what ppl say turn u off ....

loudness is totally subjective, what might be loud to you might not be loud to somebody else, just get what you think you will be happy with, thats all you need.

why rockford fosgate subs sucks???


many people will ask themselves why rockford sucks??

first of all rockford its one of the best mainstream products. but only on amps and receivers.

about subs???

they subs are disappointing why???


1. lower power handling's
2. lower excursion ( needed for those hard to reach notes like 20hz)
3. they lie sayin they are for sql but they are more of a spl type but not a good spl sub.
4. expensive u can get a t2 for about 800 crazy uh??
5. more low and i mean lower priced mainstream subs on the same category (power handling mainly) will get louder and lower.


note:

some sub woofers from punch are really good like the hx2 really good sub but theres better deals. or the spl subwoofer from punch they team punch or something like that u still can find it on ebay but yeah one thing i tell ya its one fo the worse sounding subs on the market but gets LOUD.


this will apply with kickers subs but worse???


why???

1.because they have the solobaric
2. solobarics are bad designed and designed only for spl
3. and once again lower power handling.
4. and once again they have the solobarics the most returned subwoofer on the market from good mainstream products.((that means its compared to similar good quality products not compared to pyle pyramid etc.)
