Why replace your car's original speakers?

The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience.

Our take on the Rockford Fosgate Punch P152

by Jo Greene

Rockford Fosgate showcases their fanatical commitment to sonic excellence in the Punch Series of speakers, amps, and subs. If you like to listen to potent, powerful music — and feel it too — Punch components will give you impressive sound that'll stand out in a crowd.

Rockford Fosgate designed the Punch P152 5-1/4" speakers as a high-grade replacement for your factory speakers. Each speaker features a responsive polypropylene cone and butyl rubber surround that'll stand up to hours of high-volume jams. Rockford Fosgate uses a new technique to attach the surround to the cone that yields up to 25% more cone area, for fuller sound and stronger performance. The dome tweeters provide clear, extended highs that can hold their own when the bass gets heavy.

Take a closer look and you'll notice a couple of cool innovations. The slots around the frame eliminate the need to redrill screw holes when the factory holes are just a little bit off. And these speakers come with adapter plates that allow them to fit into oval speaker openings.

Features

Injection-Molded Polypropylene Woofers: The woofer cones are mineral filled, injection-molded polypropylene. This molding process assures a uniform cone thickness for superior linearity and clarity. It is also light weight and rigid for decreased distortion and improved bass response.

Butyl Rubber Surrounds: The butyl rubber surrounds dampen unwanted harmonic distortion while maintaining linear geometry under extreme weather conditions. This leads to less distortion, superior frequency response, and superior durability.

VAST Surround: The Vertical Attach Surround Technique (VAST) increases a speaker's effective radiating cone area without increasing the size of the basket.

Tweeters: Each speaker features a 3/4" PEI (Poly-Ether-Imide) dome tweeter; PEI is a polymer film that produces a wide soundstage for superior imaging.

FlexFit Basket: The Flex Fit frame utilizes slots (where possible) instead of single screw sized holes; allowing slight adjustment of the speaker when mounted.

Adapter Bracket: For mounting flexibility, the speaker can be mounted in 6x9 and 5x7 applications using the supplied brackets.

Speaker Terminals: These speakers have 0.25" wide positive (+) terminals and 0.187" wide negative (-) terminals, which are too large for the vehicle-specific speaker harnesses supplied by Crutchfield for many vehicle applications. It is recommended that a pack of assorted female quick slides (item # 263FQS10PK) be purchased and spliced to the harnesses to adapt them to the speaker terminals.

Factory Flawed But sounds OK

Written By Napools, Florida on Monday, September 10, 2012

The speaker set i received had one of the connections held together by electricians tape to mend the spot where the solder joint had been broken. The speaker was in a sealed factory container too, not a return to Crutchfield from what I could see. even though the speaker still functioned ok, I won't buy another Rockford Fosgate product

Pros:

size fir my car well

Cons:

factory quality control is poor at best

Great mids/highs, Terrible bass

Written By Seth B, Southport, IN on Monday, June 20, 2011

I bought these for the rear deck in my 08 civic and they sound awesome, but then bought them again for the doors and the mids/highs are great but the bass is extremely terrible. I will be adding a sub just to get some bass.

Fosgate never lets me down!

Written By Seth, Southport, IN on Wednesday, June 08, 2011

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

Bought these for the rear deck of my 2008 Honda Civic LX Sedan and absolutely love them! They sound soo much better than the factory junk that used to be in there. Came with the correct adapter brackets. The only problem is the terminals on the wiring harness do not fit the RF terminals so I had to go buy a pack of the correct size female terminals. Other than that I couldn't ask for anything better, thank you Crutchfield!

Rockford Fosgate's rock the MINI Cooper

Written By Mike, Jackson, MI on Tuesday, May 24, 2011

Installed in a 2003 MINI Cooper

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

The sound is excellent, the Punch speakers rock the MINI Cooper. I bought these to replace the stock speakers in a 2003 MIni Cooper S. The sound was worth the installation work for sure. No complaints with the speakers, but the speaker wire adapters did not fit the speaker's tabs, so I made the trip to the big box store and bought a pack of new ends. I cut & crimped and they were fine. I also decided to replace the stock door panel covers with the RF covers, after some trimming and buying longer screws they look great. They're great, I'll be getting the 6x9's replaced with RF's next !
