Have you heard the phrase "If the deal is too good to be true it usually is"?

Wait a minute.....I read your post as the sub amp amp were $70.00 and then you had a box. Type in the link to that sub and amp again, for some reason it will not pull up here. The link for the box works but it was another $75.00 to ship it to Canada. Shipping a box is never really that good of an idea due to weight and the likelyhood of damage in transit.

It is not 70 dollars its 716.00 which is a massive diiference if it was 70 dollars we would all be the baller blockin guys on the block. Youll be lucky to get the PDX amp for under 550-600 shipped to your house and under 250 for the type x.

that is the sub that matches the box that matches the amp.

get 2. and each amp will draw a full 60 amps, so count on a bigger alternater.

But i wouldn't buy from ebay!!!!!!!!!

Find a reputable dealer to buy it from.

well my local shop, unique visions, gave me a quote for 1600$, box some 1.600 amp or maybe i didnt hear correctly somethin so the amp is , and a type x + install

so i decided ill make my own system and maybe just give them the parts to install or even install it my self

so do u think the 716$ is a good price for the amp and the sub? the box i can prolly find in a local audio shop also above wen i said 70 i was just talking about a box i found

so why dont u guys think ebay is the play to buy all this form, every store on there had a policy if its broken we give u another one so im pretty assured that its legit, what do u guys think?

ps what kind of altinator would i need? how much and whats the brand i should look at, also what kind of wiring kit would i need and what is the aprox price for that thanks in advance again!
