Rockford Fosgate Package
1 - 15 of 15 Posts
From someone I know who got it, they suggested getting some sound proofing done to ensure better audio quality. Aside from that they couldn't be happier.
You might want to call around to some dealers, see if they have a demo with the Rockford Package, nothing beats hearing it first hand.

I was just looking over the instructions for installing the Rockford fosgate kit and It cant be installed with the Bose system.

Aftermarket is always better than the "premium" audio the factory offers...and usually less expensive. I have alot of experience with car audio and i feel that it you just upgraded the front door speakers and tweeter with a decent component set and used a 4 channel amp to power it and a single 10" subwoofer, you would be very happy. There is enough room under either of the front seats to put the amp, and there are several space saving and slim subwoofer boxes that come preloaded with the sub in them. Rockford fosgate makes some good budget oriented ones or JL audio for a little bit higher quality.
I have a Kicks S and I also want to add the Rockford fosgate subwoofer system. I called Rockford fosgate in the USA and Tech support says it's two 6.5 woofers in a sealed box and includes active amp for the door speakers and the subwoofer and has DSP to tune the sound. I fine price cheaper in USA. $600 usd vs. $1499 cnd. The question can a car stereo installer put this in or do we need Nissan tech. They said they require 2 hrs labour.
Also is the Kicks prewired for this or do we need to start cutting and splicing. I talked to the my service dept but they have never done one. Can someone please tell me a name of a dealer in the Vancouver, B.C. area who has done one as I read one member here has done it! Thanks!

I agree with you on this. I bought a kicks with the Bose audio and my husband just installed a Rockford fosgate P300-10 sub/amp kit. The kit itself was $266 and no labor costs so I’d say it’s definitely worth it to do it after market. The sound is incredible and I honestly believe the Nissan upgrade wouldn’t have sounded this amazing.
My husband just installed a P300-10 Rockford fosgate amp/sub kit and had very little fab work. He did have to pull kick panels to route the wires to the back for the sub but other than that, very little fab. It’s was $266 USD off of amazon so I would say if you’re handy with car audio, it’s definitely worth it! It adds so much more bass than my Bose audio standalone. It’s a little bulky but isn’t really an eyesore as I don’t use my hatchback very often.

How did you install the sub with the bose system? Did you splice into the speaker or the amp? I'm thinking of adding a sub to my Kicks

I know this is an older thread, but in hopes this may help someone, here's what I've done to install the Rockford Fosagte P300-10.
First, this took me the better part of an entire day. A job done in haste can result in less than desirable results. I suggest taking your time, so the first time is the final time.
Run the power wire from the Battery positive. DO NOT CONNECT UNTIL THE ENTIRE PROJECT IS COMPETED. Route through the Rubber grommet surrounding the wiring harness from the cabin interior. It's on the driver's side, just behind the Brake fluid reservoir. If done correctly, the wire only requires a hole. The boot will close up around the wire and seal it. Use a wire Tig rod or cloths hanger to pull the wire through the boot. Use lubricant. Also inspect the boot does not come out of its seat or seal where it joins to the body. If it did, simply reach inside the boot from the interior and push it back out until it seals again. It's kind of like a tongue and groove seal.
I removed the kick panel and side panel on the Driver's side. Carefully route the power and remote wire from the front to the back.
On the side panel, just below the seat belt upper panel you will see the wiring that enters the rear doors. Look inside the wire loom and you should find two wires twisted together. The color on my 2023 is red and brownish tan. I didn't cut the wires. I cut the insulation to expose about 1/2" and soldered in my wires to go to the Sub. Taped those individually then together. Back in the loom.
I think some folks struggle as to get the signal from the front or the rear. Also, the remote turn on/off feature. I can tell you the signal is more than adequate from the front or rear. I used the rear due to the access being more covenant than the front. The Sub has a built-in filter. It will remove the highs leaving only the lows within the filter.
Rather than putting a new hole in the rear for a ground, I used the existing seatbelt bolt under the rear seat.
Route the wires as neat as possible, leave some slack use wire loom for that extra layer of protection.
That's what I did. Works great! Remote turn on works great! Bass is so much that I had to turn it way down.
Remote is a great feature also.
Hope this may help someone.

I have this, AudioControl LC6i (Gray) + Rockford Fosgate R2-500X4 + Rockford Fosgate PS-8 + Focal RSE-165 + Focal RCX-165 ... And I couldn't be happier, all components are out off view only I know they are there and if someone asks, I tell them that I sourced the speakers from a totalled SR or SV ... I will replace the LC6i with a AudioControl LCQ-1 (Black) to better tailor the sound to my personal taste.
If you only want some extra bass, you can go this way AudioControl LC2i (Black) or AudioControl LC1i and add a powered sub like the one in my setup, BUT, you will loose the rear speakers since you would have to use the rear speaker outputs for the line converter to drive the powered sub
