Rockford Fosgate R2S-1X10 10" Shallow Loaded Subwoofer

The Rockford Fosgate R2S-1X10 is a sealed, shallow 10-inch loaded subwoofer enclosure designed to add low-frequency output where conventional subwoofer boxes take up too much room. Its wedge-shaped cabinet is suited to space-conscious installations, including single-cab trucks and other vehicles with limited depth behind or under seating. The enclosure arrives loaded and internally wired, simplifying the path to a compact bass upgrade.

This enclosure presents a 2-ohm nominal load and is rated for 200 watts RMS with 400 watts maximum power handling. It is intended for use with an external amplifier that is stable at a 2-ohm speaker load and appropriately power matched. The sealed design supports controlled, space-efficient bass integration rather than requiring a large ported cabinet.

A single Rockford Fosgate R2SD4-10 shallow dual-voice-coil subwoofer is installed in the enclosure. The driver uses a polypropylene cone, poly-foam surround, steel basket, and high-temperature voice coil with an aluminum former. Its shallow motor arrangement helps make the low-profile enclosure possible.

The R2S-1X10 cabinet measures 13.5 inches high by 19.0 inches wide, with a wedge depth of 5.25 inches at the bottom and 3.25 inches at the top. This profile is useful when seat travel or cargo-room clearance limits the enclosure depth available. Quick-release compression terminals provide a straightforward connection point for speaker wire from the amplifier.

For a complete bass system, pair the enclosure with suitable amplification, amplifier power wiring, signal connections, and installation hardware appropriate for the vehicle. The included mounting brackets can help secure the enclosure, but vehicle-specific fitment should be verified by measuring the intended location. Proper amplifier gain and crossover setup are important for matching the enclosure to the rest of the audio system.

• 2-Ohm Final Load: Internally wired for compatible 2-ohm amplification.
• 200-Watt RMS Rating: Supports appropriately matched external amplifier power.
• Sealed Wedge Cabinet: Uses a compact truck-style enclosure profile.
• 5/8-Inch MDF Construction: Provides a rigid cabinet foundation.
• Quick-Release Terminals: Makes speaker-wire connection and removal more convenient.

Design & Installation

The R2S-1X10 uses a 5/8-inch MDF wedge enclosure covered in high-density carpet. Its loaded R2SD4-10 driver incorporates a steel basket, polypropylene cone, poly-foam surround, integrated PVC trim ring, and compression terminal assembly. The slim enclosure is 5.25 inches deep at its lower section and 3.25 inches deep at its upper section.

Connect the amplifier's positive speaker output to the enclosure's red terminal and the negative output to the black terminal. Use an amplifier rated to operate with a 2-ohm load and keep its continuous output appropriately matched to the enclosure's 200-watt RMS rating. Measure the intended mounting area before installation, secure the enclosure with the included brackets where appropriate, and route speaker wire away from high-current vehicle wiring.
