## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use this one on my factory system in 2013 camry without any extra stuff, also can I install it myself?**
A: You’ll need to buy a wiring kit to run the power from the battery to the sub, and to ground the unit. As for installation, YouTube should help: you need to remove the radio from the dash, splice into the rear speaker wires, and run the speaker wires back to the sub. For the power to the sub, you need to run that wire through the firewall, you should find a rubber grommet already in the firewall somewhere. You’ll likely find details searching your car and model year for sub installs on YouTube, they’ll show how to remove the radio and in most cases where they ran the power wire.

**Q: Which rockford fosgate series subwoofer is used for the p500-12p?**
A: After reviewing all of the relevant RF specs, the only logical conclusion is it contains the Punch 500W mono amp running at 500W x 1 Ohm thru a 600W P3D2-12 with the dual voice coils wired in parallel mode to 1 Ohm. The P2 is limited to 400W RMS. The P1 is limited to 250W RMS and only comes in SVC 2-4 Ohm options, so no single sub 1 ohm configuration like the DVC P2 and P3). Maybe they use P3's that didn't pass the 600W test, so can sell them in a  500W kit.  You can't beat a Punch 500W mono amp (~$239 list) + Punch 600W P3 12" (~$160 list) in an enclosure with connection panel for $369 total. That's probably why RF doesn't publish the amp and sub model #s, they don't want to undercut the pricing of their discrete unit's selling price.

**Q: We’re can I just find the wiring for this box?, unfortunately my dog got a hold of it and chewed it up!**
A: I would try and contact Rockford customer service and see if they offer the wiring kit separately. Google the phone number.

**Q: What gauge power wire is recommended?**
A: Rockford recommends an 8 gauge wiring kit.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome, clean, factory looking setup with punchy bass!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States July 20, 2026*

I’m extremely happy with this little setup. It fits perfectly behind the third-row seat in my 2015 Yukon Denali with the seat upright, so I can keep all three rows usable without giving up much cargo space.For the signal, I tapped into the factory Bose subwoofer output at the factory amplifier rather than using one of the door-speaker outputs. I ran that signal into an AudioControl LC2i line output converter and then connected the LC2i to the Rockford using RCA cables.I would recommend upgrading to the LC2i Pro. The external adjustment knobs make tuning much easier, especially the AccuBASS threshold control. AccuBASS is designed to restore bass that some factory systems reduce as the volume increases, but my Bose system already sends a very strong subwoofer signal at lower volumes. Because of that, enabling AccuBASS produced more bass than I needed.It took me a while to properly calibrate everything so the bass stayed clean instead of becoming muddy. I ended up disabling AccuBASS, setting the bass adjustment on the factory navigation unit to zero, and installing the AudioControl remote bass knob.I initially used the remote knob included with the Rockford, but I preferred the control I got from the AudioControl knob. I then adjusted the LC2i output gains to provide the strongest clean signal possible without clipping or distortion. With the incoming signal properly set, I only needed to turn the Rockford’s internal gain to about one-quarter.The Rockford also has an automatic signal-sensing turn-on feature, so it powers up when music begins playing without requiring a separate remote wire. One minor issue is that I occasionally hear an inconsistent noise or brief turn-off transient from the subwoofer shortly after shutting off the vehicle. It appears to happen while the amplifier is waiting for the factory audio signal to disappear before powering down. It has not affected normal operation, but it is worth mentioning.I rarely need to run this thing past approximately 30% because it gets extremely loud inside an SUV. It obviously will not move air like two 12-inch subwoofers in a massive ported enclosure, but the bass is very clean, it gets surprisingly low, and you can definitely feel it.I highly recommend this setup for anyone looking for strong, clean bass without permanently sacrificing their third row or cargo area. The quick-disconnect power plug is one of its best features and makes it very easy to remove the entire unit when traveling or when extra cargo space is needed.Installation was straightforward, tuning took a little patience, and I’m very happy with the finished system.One final note: I originally ordered this through Amazon, but it never arrived. Amazon eventually issued a refund after the expected delivery date passed, and I purchased it from a local car-audio shop for the same price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great unit, priced right, easy install
*by  on Reviewed in the United States January 1, 2026*

Really happy with this unit. Install was pretty easy for a newbie in my son's 2019 Kia Optima, sound is amazing. Once we got the settings dialed in, it has some real punch. Cabinet quality is solid, looks all quality. Highly recommend!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sound great
*by  on Reviewed in the United States August 3, 2026*

Sounds great I love it! Good for a suv.
