Description
The Rockford Fosgate PPS4-8 Punch Pro 8" midrange speaker is engineered for high-SPL conditions, built around an oversized motor and a high-temperature voice coil to deliver loud, accurate midrange in a compact package. Its fiber-reinforced paper cone, corrugated treated cloth surround, and robust aluminum components are designed for endurance in demanding automotive installs.
- Midrange Size (Nominal Diameter): 8" driver designed for 8" mounting openings, providing a substantial midrange presence within a compact footprint.
- Power Handling (RMS / Max): 125 Watts RMS / 250 Watts Max. Real-world: capable of sustained midrange output while handling brief peaks without excessive stress.
- Cone Material: Fiber reinforced high-strength paper cone with treated "W" style surround. In practice, this combination aims for stiff, responsive cone behavior and durable excursion in daily driving conditions.
- Frame: Stamp-cast aluminum frame. A rigid, thermally stable structure helps minimize frame flex and ensures consistent alignment under power.
- Voice Coil: High temperature aluminum voice coil. Enables better heat dissipation for higher power handling and sustained performance.
- Surround: Corrugated treated cloth surround. Supports controlled cone movement and durability over time.
- Spider: Fatigue and tear resistant poly cotton spider. Helps maintain voice-coil alignment and linear travel under load.
- Phase Plug: Billet stock machined aluminum phase plug. Improves high-frequency response and smooths midrange output.
- Lead Wire: Periodic-stitched fatigue resistant lead wire. Enhances durability during repeated flexing in mounting environments.
- Input Connection: All Metal Input Spring Terminal Connection. Secure, durable termination for reliable wiring in automotive installations.
- Grilles / Hardware: Grilles and mounting hardware included. Protective grilles help shield the cone in dusty or harsh under-hood environments.
- Grille / Trim Ring: Grille/Trim Ring Included. Finishes the installation and provides a clean, professional look.
- Warranty: 1 Year Warranty. Demonstrates Rockford Fosgate’s confidence in long-term performance for daily driving use.
- Frequency Response: 80Hz–5kHz. Defines the midrange bandwidth the driver is optimized to reproduce with clarity in typical in-vehicle systems.
- Sensitivity (1W/1M): 94.5 dB. Indicates the SPL you can expect from one watt of input at one meter, aiding power and enclosure planning.
- Impedance: 4-Ohm nominal. Affects how the driver loads with amplifiers and crossovers in an audio system.
- Mounting Depth: 2.91" (74 mm). Helps determine if the driver fits shallow mounting locations in dashboards, kick panels, or door pods.
- Shipping Weight: 7.75 Lbs. Indicates the package heft and handling considerations for installation planning.
- Compliance: CEA-2031 Compliant. Aligns with industry-standard test methods for automotive loudspeakers, aiding comparison across products.
This PPS4-8 is tailored for a dedicated midrange path within a high-SPL system, pairing with suitable crossovers and amplification to deliver strong, articulate midrange performance while fitting into common 8" mounting spaces and shallow installations.
