Old School Rockford Fosgate Punch 45HD vs. Kicker Solobaric Subs


Demonstration of an Old School Rockford Fosgate Punch 45HD powering (2) Kicker S10C 10″ Solobaric Subwoofers. For best results, use headphones or good quality speakers with a subwoofer as the audio was captured using a quality microphone and the Panasonic HDC-TM700K camcorder.

  1. @kskate91 the 12 is 450 peak rms 600 max and rec vol is .88 sealed after displacement the 10 is like 350rms and.66cubicfeet. bigger box means a little lower bass & wont handle as much power

  3. @Brian98362 Yeah, this was mentioned in another comment. The sound was the amp clipping, not the speaker reaching max excursion. I’ve benched my P45HD and these subs are “only” getting about 80w RMS each at 2ohms bridged. I’ll do another video with a more powerful amp so we can really see those subs sing!

  7. This amp is bad ass. I have on too and was usein it on 3 JL 10s for the longest time. Its a damn good amp.

  9. @RWL2011 Yes, if we could only go back and correct our mistakes…Thanks for reminding me, I’ll update it with a notation in the video.

  11. you mean clipping not bottoming out!

  13. @bigdwiz Song was “Magic Mike Cuts the Record” from the CD “DJ Magic Mike & Royal Posse”. I didn’t see the MP3 on Amazon, CD only. Not sure about iTunes. If I had a penny for every time I’ve played this song since 1990, I’d be a RICH MAN! Classic “old School” bass tracks…

  15. @danerobert14 Magic Mike, I think the song was “The House of Magic”. I’ll verify and comment if I’m wrong.

  17. 1st song?

  18. danerobert14 on May 17th, 2011
  19. @kskate91 I’ll have to measure my box and calculate the volume. It just may be around 0.6 cu/ft and it sounds pretty good with around 180 watts from the P45HD. I bet that 75.2 does over 200 watts bridged into 4 ohms, so you should be good to go.

  21. @bigdwiz How do you think one of these would sound in a .60 cubic feet sealed box? Thats the max size Kicker recommends to put 450 watts to it but of course i’m not actually going to do that o.O. I’m wanting to power it with my Rockford Fosgate Punch 75.2. Will get alteast 150 watts unclipped power.

  23. @kskate91 Good price on the sub! Yes, they are designed for small sealed enclosures, anywhere between 0.8 and 1.2 cubic feet is optimal. One cubic foot is a good compromise. I think mine are between 0.6 and 0.8 cubic feet and that’s how they came. I would go with 1 cubic foot and I’m sure many prefab 10″ sealed boxes are around this size.

  25. Hey man I just picked up a Kicker S10D for $20 was alittle dirty and missing the cork gasket part but works awesome. Can you put these in a regular sealed box? Like a prefab?

  26. kskate91 on May 17th, 2011
  27. @dnjrosa I’m currently planning on using these in an upcoming oldschool install. I’ll let you know if I change my mind and want to get rid of them…

  28. bigdwiz on May 17th, 2011
  29. if you want to sell them let me know i have one in my truck but i want two, i got it new old stock oushed by a fosgate 500a2 ot thumps

  30. dnjrosa on May 17th, 2011
  31. @dnjrosa As of 12/20/2010, yes, I still have these.

  32. bigdwiz on May 17th, 2011
  33. Do you still have these solobarics????

  34. dnjrosa on May 17th, 2011
  35. @kskate91 Yeah, I got lucky with those solobarics….got them locally for a GREAT price. The 40×2 is an awesome amp as well and I’m sure it pushes the C12 very nice! Yeah, a P150 would have made those solobarics REALLY thump…maybe I’ll do another vid with a P150 to show the difference…Thanks for the comment!

  36. bigdwiz on May 17th, 2011
  37. Wow! Dude that is my old dream setup maybe a Punch 150 for alittle headroom but wow man that is awesome old school goodness you got there! I have the same era Kicker Competition 12 bridged it on my Punch 40×2 and it sounds unbelievable for 11 year subwoofer and 14 year old amp. Keep it up!
