Good deal?
 
Hello i was wondering if 2 used 12" 12W3V3 subs with a ported box for $350 is a good idea to purchase.

I know they are great subs, but used a good idea?

If so, what should i look for other than tears and wear on the subs when looking at them before purchasing?


Thanks:)

Well it's not the deal of the century but if they look almost brand new it's not bad.

What impedance?

Make sure that you measure the impedance with a DMM before purchasing.

They are 4ohm and they are bridged together to make then 2ohm.

Just my opinion of course, but not a great deal by any means.

figure out what there worth brand new, cut it in half and that's your used price if there in mint condition. I seen a comment the other day that made me laugh...'how ab(used) are they' ha ha ha

lol i know buying used is not the best, but i have a $300-$350 budget to get a box and 2 subs. I already have a 1200Watt Sony amp (not the best, but it still pumps out what it is rated for so i am good there).


I declined this offer because if i divide by 2 and add i am paying more than that big time.

... it is a lot of speaker for the money WITH a box. The question is is it worth it for you.

Or would a single higher quality (or even a W3) sub get you there under budget?

ive got 2 15" AQ SDC 2.5's for sale for about $250, Id make you a custom ported box or sealed if you wanted for another hundred

Im a little west of the gta, and these suckers wang. Ive got 4 of them for sale Im gonna put up in the classifieds shortly

that sony amp is not 2 ohm stable and only puts out 200rms per channel in 4 ohms just so ya know maybe a good 12 in a ported box is your way to go as it is 500rms at 4 ohm briged

Get a pair of respectable subs, the Pioneer Premiere 12" are on sale right now. Have Jalat build you a box and you will probably come in under budget and above expectations.
