Anyone know an approximate value on these brand new:

2 Kaption SPL 10" Subs
1 Kaption HC 75.2 Amp
Dual Port "MPF?!!?" Ported Box

Thanks

thats "mdf" (medium density fiberboard) but sorry, ive never sold kaption, so i couldnt tell ya price.

 

the shops around here can buy one of them subs for 150. so they sell it for more then that. i'm running 2 of them of 2 jbl 600.1's and its nice. but i dont know anything about that amp.

 

a VERY rough general price for pretty well any 'name' 10" subs that handle what those are rated for (about 500w rms) is around 200-300 apiece. (for reference, the Rockford Fosgate Punch HX2 10's are about 250 at future shop on 'clearout sale' I think, so thats a rough guideline as they handle that power neighbourhood too)

For an amp, paying a dollar per watt is a good general guideline, it could go a bit over or under that but thats usually a good yardstick... so that amp does 150 x 2, so its probably in the neighbourhood of $300 (for example a JBL bp300.1 is about 250 at best buy, and I think thats a good safe guideline)

a box is around 50-100, premade, depending on what premade company it is,and where you buy it from...

Obviously, I have no real source, but from the specs on the Kaption site, thats what I would VERY ROUGHLY estimate...

 

id like to see those kaptions for 150... maybe the hd series go for that but not spl... unless theres some special clearance on em...

 

DaZZ, 150 is cost.
I was quoted around 700$ for the setup I began the post with.

i know kaption spl 12's used to sell for $250 with tax 4 years ago when i had 3 of them. and that 150 watt amp shouldnt cost more than $250. if u are paying more than that u are getting ripped off my friend. if i was u i would use a good 1000 watt amp to run those captions, they well can take it. i had mine going of TWO slaved DEI 1100D's for daily driving.

 

250 each or for the pair?

What amp would you suggest? Does Kaption make one, cuz I can get a good deal on Kaption stuff.

Any opinions on Kaption SPLs?

i like them. i had 2 of the old spl 104s'd in a sealed box. sounded nice. then i put one in a ported box with a jbl 600.1 and i hit 136.3 in a trunked car without folding rear seats. and this summer i'm geting a nother jbl and i'm running one sub off each amp.

when i first got them i paid 300 a peice for the subs. after fighting with the shop i got them from since i blew one of them, he said hed fix it for half of his cost on them which is 150. i think they blew b/c of the box i had them in. but i'm not sure. but i liked the subs and they good inverted too.

 

250 each. i liked the subs, for the price they were not bad, but eventualy they just fell apart. give them their rated power and they will shine. i think kaption makes a big 1000 watt amp, im not sure, i'vent ran kaption for many years now, nevertheless it was a good start up point.
