Arizona, has now grown into an audio equipment empire that also includes
providing boats and marine vehicles with superior stereo equipment as well. He
built his company realized the audio needs of a moving vehicle were far
different than those for a home stereo system. Using this newfound knowledge, he
created the first audio amplifier, The Punch EQ, and the company was on its way.
Today, millions have enjoyed and continue to enjoy auto and marine audio systems
powered Jim Fosgate’s creations. Below is a brief overview of his company’s
Subwoofers, Amplifiers, Speakers and Marine Audio.
Rockford Fosgate Subwoofers
Rockford Fosgate (RF) has developed some of the most powerful subwoofers on the
market today. Whatever the audio need may be, whether it is improved sound
quality, window-rattling bass, or competition sound, Jim Fosgate’s company has
their customers covered. There are three levels of RF in production today; the
Prime, Punch and Power series. Each bring a different level of sound to any
system.
The Prime series is the entry-level series for those simply looking to add some
additional depth to their sound. There are roughly 10 different subwoofers in
this series ranging from 10” to 12” subs. Moving up to the Punch series, this
line carries the name of Fosgate’s initial invention, and provides every bit of
the Punch it boasts. There are over 25 different subwoofers in the Punch line
ranging from 8” to 15”. Finally, there is the Power series that will push any
system over the top and dominate any competition in which they are involved.
With more than 15 subwoofers available from 10” to 15” subs, the Power series is
a force to with which to be reckoned.
Rockford Fosgate Amplifiers
Beginning with the creation of amplifiers, Jim Fosgate is a firm believer in the
“dance with the one that brought you” theory. Similar to Fosgate’s subwoofer
line, the amplifiers are also available in the Prime, Punch and Power Series.
Also similar to the subwoofers, the Prime Series is the amplifier for those just
starting out with the car audio systems. The Punch series is all of the power RF
Amplifiers can bring and then some. Partnering power with affordability, the
Punch series is the best value within the car audio industry. The Power series
is great in that it brings all of the power the Punch series provides, but does
so in a compact package making it easy to install underneath most car seats.
Rockford Fosgate Speakers
Between the Prime, Punch and Power series, Rockford Fosgate offers nearly 50
different speakers for their customers to choose from. The three series remain
the same for sound quality and expectations as described above, but the variety
of speaker sizes increase greatly from one series to the next.
The Prime series offers 1” tweeters, 5” and 6.5” door mounted speakers, 4”, 5”
and 6.5” rear speakers, and both 6”x8” and 6”x9” fill range speakers as well.
The Punch and Power series offer each of these varieties as well, but then go
above and beyond offering more custom fit speakers for just about any car audio
set up.
Rockford Fosgate Marine Audio
Just because their consumers take to the waves, does not mean they should have
to leave their superior audio back in their automobile. This is why Jim Fosgate
took the ingenuity he placed into his amplifiers and car speakers and developed
the Rockford Fosgate M2 Marine Grade series for awesome audio enjoyment on the
high seas as well. Offering speakers from 6” to 12” speakers, the M2 Marine
Grade line packs the same punch many RF fans have come to expect over the years.
For nearly the past 40 years, people have relied on Jim Fosgate and his company
for the best in auto and boat audio equipment, and for 40 years, Jim Fosgate and
his company have not disappointed.
