Rockford Fosgate R2S-1X10 vs Skar Audio SDR-1X12D2

The Skar Audio SDR-1X12D2 is the louder, higher-power choice: a ported 12-inch with 600 watts RMS handling and a 1-ohm final load, backed by a large pool of owner ratings. The Rockford Fosgate R2S-1X10 is the compact choice: a shallow sealed 10-inch in 5/8-inch MDF that fits behind a truck seat or in a tight trunk and runs at 2 ohms on 200 watts RMS. Pick the Rockford for space and a simple sealed sound; pick the Skar for output and deep bass if you have the room and an amp that is stable at 1 ohm.

• Choose the Rockford Fosgate R2S-1X10 if you have shallow mounting depth, want a sealed enclosure that fits behind a seat, and plan to run about 200 watts at 2 ohms.
• Choose the Skar Audio SDR-1X12D2 if you have the space for a ported 12-inch, want much more output, and your amplifier is stable at 1 ohm.
