I just ordered two rockford fosgate 12 inch subs and my audio place wants 250-300 to build a box... would this do the trick?

This would definitely do it for you. Almost the perfect size, and a very study box; I've had no issues with mine, can only compliment it.

We went with a 4 Gauge wire kit like this: http://www.amazon.com/Rockford-Fosgate-RFK4X-Complete-Amplifier/dp/B0012BYOSK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1390091839&sr=8-5&keywords=Complete+4+Gauge+Amplifier+Installation+Kit . We also added a 1.0 Farad Capacitor which is probably considered old school by today's installation practices, but it works and the punch from the Sub does not cause dimming of the lights and doesn't get hot. It was a great match up and now for over 6 months has performed very well. We also used a 600 Watt Sony Mono Amplifier as it match the spec's for the sub. Mind you, we don't push the sub hard like others may do... This sub and enclosure combo isn't made to do that, but it does give a pretty decent punch when demanded by the music being played. If you want a lot of punch then consider a different sub enclosure

I have a full enclosed box and it sounds great. The design to my box was custom, since for this size of sub, it is a must. The thickness of the box is 1 inch. My sub I have installed in my Baja power boat, so for this reason, I had to have my box made with special marine grade compounds to prevent expansion and distortion to the box. But if you plan on having installed in a vehicle, you shouldn't have an issue with that. One suggestion, this sub does require a lot of power, so I would highly recommended at least 750watt HD amp from JL audio.

Sub is 5-9/16 deep and you only have 4.25" to work with.. This box is for shallow/slim subwoofers..

Yes! This would be an excellent box for it. This is one serious sub box, I love it and gives off clean low bass.

Your speakers will need to be low profile as there is not a lot of room. I had two 10 inch MTX 800 subs that were too big for the box. I eventually placed two low profile 10 inch Kickers in there and they worked perfectly.

You will need an amp kit. I would recommend Rockford fosgate amp kits. It will give you all the wires you need if you're going it yourself. If you are going to a slop for installation, they may provide the necessary wiring

This should work with the mentioned rockford fosgate 1200x1 d amp. However if you are using this amp to power some subs the prime is rockfords lowest amp. I would suggest upgrading to the punch 1000x1bd amp you can get from best buy for a hundred dollars more or 200 more on amazon and will help tremendously.

I'm powering 4 mb quart mids 125 rms and a kicker 12 with no problem. It would really depend on the impedence of your speakers and subs.

Yes it will work, it will play the subwoofer. However I would recommend going with a more reputable brand like Rockford Fosgate, Kicker, MTX MMATS or Digital Design as these will be more efficient and will actually do the power they are rated at and more..

Just as long as your sub and speakers watts/rms all adds up to about 300, you should be good. Bridge the sub to get more oomph. But this can have your speakers with less power. You don't want to overload your amp. IMHO, get a mono amp that will power your sub and leave this 300w amp for your other speakers. It's what I did.

I don't know, that would depend on your personal preferences. I bought mine to replace two 12-inch full-range speakers in a 1950's console stereo cabinet. They are driven by a Pyle PTA2 amp ( only7 watts per channel rms, 20watts per channel peak) and they rock in a small 12'x 15' room. I have one other set of the same Rockford Fosgate speakers in two diy wood cabinets (connected to another Pyle PTA2) and they also have really good volume with no noticeable distortion. If it were me I would see how your set-up works for you and add an amp if you are not happy that. Hope that helps.

Yes, it will push them just fine. I had mine pushing two 1000w Alpines and now it's pushing one 1200w Rockford Fosgate 15. You don't want to max out your subs anyway. Just match the rms and you'll be fine.

I have two sa 12's down firing in a box I custom built at 2.19 cu per sub with the ports meeting in the middle facing back. Powered by fosgate 1100a2. Its the loudest system I've heard out of a truck. It flexs my windows

I bought this and it works well. You will need to by an amplifier for this subwoofer if your receiver does not have one specifically for a subwoofer. I bought the Bash 300S Digital Subwoofer Plate Amplifier 300W RMS from Parts Express. I works very well with my surround sound. Be sure to secure the speaker grate. The putty they send you does not work so well. I used silicone to hold the grate in. It will vibrate loose if you do not.Hope this helps

I don't see why not depends what size your Polk is just buy the same size and install. I will say this those. I have 2 of be p1 in the enclosure Rockford fosgate box you can get off the website and they rock. Ones gonna be much louder then the Polk sub you had for your home theater it looks like. Just googled the Polk sub idk what you really had.

I have the r 1200 fosgate prime amp with a 140 amp circuit breaker with knukoncepts 4 gauge power and ground 12 gauge speaker wire. The hifonics amp is to much power for that sub.
