Rockford Fosgate R2-2X12 Prime Dual 12 Inch Sealed Loaded Subwoofer Enclosure
A pre-built, pre-wired sealed enclosure loaded with two R2D2-12 12 inch dual voice coil subwoofers handling 500W RMS and 1000W peak, internally wired to a 2-ohm load. Constructed from 5/8 inch MDF with OEM-grade carpet covering and high current binding posts. Just add an amplifier for complete bass performance straight out of the box. Backed by a 1 year warranty.
Product Overview
The Rockford Fosgate R2-2X12 is a complete sealed loaded subwoofer enclosure from the Prime R2 series, housing two R2D2-12 12 inch dual voice coil subwoofers in a pre-built, pre-wired cabinet ready for drop-in installation. The enclosure is internally wired to present a 2-ohm load at the amplifier terminals, removing the need for any internal wiring work at installation.
The enclosure is constructed from 5/8 inch MDF (medium density fiberboard) for rigid, resonance-free cabinet walls, covered with OEM-grade carpet for a factory-quality finish. High current binding posts accept up to 12 AWG speaker wire for a secure, low-resistance connection. Both subwoofers carry CEA-2031 certified power handling and Klippel Verified certification, confirming the performance specifications are accurately measured and reproduced. The R2-2X12 is designed for straightforward amplifier pairing - connect a mono or 2-channel amplifier rated at 500W RMS at 2 ohms and the system is ready to perform.
Features & Benefits
Pre-Built, Pre-Wired - Drop-In Installation: The R2-2X12 arrives fully assembled and internally wired, presenting a 2-ohm load at the binding posts. No internal enclosure wiring or speaker installation is required. Connect an amplifier and the system is ready to use straight out of the box.
Dual R2D2-12 12 Inch Subwoofers - 500W RMS Combined: Two R2D2-12 dual voice coil subwoofers handle a combined 500W RMS and 1000W peak, delivering powerful bass performance suited to a wide range of music styles and vehicle applications.
Internally Wired to 2-Ohm Load: The enclosure is pre-wired to present a stable 2-ohm load at the amplifier binding posts, simplifying amplifier selection and ensuring optimal power transfer from a compatible 2-ohm stable monoblock or 2-channel amplifier.
5/8 Inch MDF Construction with OEM-Grade Carpet: The enclosure walls are built from 5/8 inch medium density fiberboard for a rigid, resonance-free cabinet, covered in OEM-grade carpet for a clean, factory-quality finish that suits most vehicle interiors.
High Current Binding Posts - Up to 12 AWG: The high current binding posts accept speaker cable up to 12 AWG, providing a secure, low-resistance connection between the amplifier and the loaded enclosure.
Klippel Verified and CEA-2031 Certified: Both subwoofers carry Klippel Verified certification, confirming that the measured performance specifications are accurately represented. CEA-2031 certified power handling ensures the rated wattage figures reflect real-world performance, not inflated marketing numbers.

Compatible With / Goes Well With
The R2-2X12 suits a wide range of vehicle applications where a pre-built dual 12 inch sealed subwoofer enclosure can be accommodated in the boot or cargo area. The enclosure presents a 2-ohm load and is best paired with a monoblock amplifier rated at 500W RMS at 2 ohms, or a bridged 2-channel amplifier with equivalent 2-ohm stable output.
Goes Well With:
- P1000X2 - Rockford Fosgate Prime 1000W 2-channel amplifier, bridgeable to mono for direct pairing with the R2-2X12 at 2 ohms
- P500X2 - Prime 500W 2-channel amplifier for a matched Prime series system build
- RFK4 - Rockford Fosgate 4 AWG amplifier wiring kit to complete the amplifier installation alongside the R2-2X12
- RFK8 - Rockford Fosgate 8 AWG amplifier wiring kit for lower power amplifier pairings
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the R2-2X12 require any internal wiring or speaker installation?
No. The R2-2X12 arrives fully pre-built and pre-wired with both subwoofers already installed and internally connected to a 2-ohm load at the binding posts. All that is required at installation is connecting an external amplifier to the high current binding posts using speaker cable up to 12 AWG.
What amplifier do I need for the R2-2X12?
The R2-2X12 presents a 2-ohm load and handles 500W RMS combined. For best results, pair it with a monoblock amplifier rated at 500W RMS at 2 ohms, or a 2-channel amplifier that is 2-ohm stable when bridged to mono at equivalent power. Contact us if you need help selecting a compatible amplifier for your system.
Why is the enclosure wired to 2 ohms?
Each R2D2-12 subwoofer has a dual voice coil configuration. The two voice coils on each speaker can be wired in different combinations to achieve different impedances. In the R2-2X12, the internal wiring combines both subwoofers to present a single 2-ohm load at the binding posts, which is a common and efficient impedance for monoblock amplifiers to operate at.
What are the enclosure dimensions and will it fit my vehicle?
The R2-2X12 measures 365mm high x 865mm wide x 450mm deep (14.37 x 34.06 x 12.51 inches). It is recommended to measure your boot or cargo area carefully and compare against these dimensions before purchasing to confirm fitment in your specific vehicle.
What is the difference between the R2-2X12 and building a custom dual subwoofer setup?
The R2-2X12 eliminates the time and cost of sourcing a separate enclosure, installing subwoofers, and wiring the system manually. The pre-built sealed cabinet is constructed from 5/8 inch MDF with OEM-grade carpet and is calibrated for the R2D2-12 subwoofers, ensuring the enclosure volume and tuning are optimised for these specific drivers. A custom build can offer greater flexibility in shape and size, but the R2-2X12 delivers consistent, proven performance straight out of the box.
