OH i love cash conveters

so there is a cash conveters new my new place so i have been in there a few times now and mostly junk in the car audio area... mostly old looking like its been in a war zone all busted up scractch dented amps are missing the end caps and almost all of the termial screws are missing rusted to crap and are very very over priced..BUT there was a newer alpine type R 15" in the box looking like new the odd scratch on the magnet but notting that would be seen so i am thinking ok they are gonna want my left arm and right nut for this seeing the crappy is over priced so i look at the sticker and 75$ is on the sticker so i am thinking ok this must be the wrong sticker so i read it and it says alpine R 15" sub 75.00$ so i grab it off the shelf... still looking in the store i see a Bazooka amp looks newer i look at it and see its a mono block looks in super shape i look at the price 65.00 so get them to show me everthing working and everything does so i am thinking ok well lets see if i can get greedy and get the tax included in the price so i talk to the guy and first he says ok he will save me on tax on both the sub and amp then i himmmmmmm and hodddddd and put the stuff down and talk to the door to leave and he comes over to me and says that he will include both IF i pay with cash and he said its a slow day cus of the snow so i jump all over it... so for the total price of 140.00 i got the type R 15 and the amp... like they had a jensen amp the ones from walmart for 125 and it was soo beat up and missing screws i feel like i was blessed by the car audio gods today....

haha, sounds like my cashconverters. there selling thump amps for $80. also have speakers that have no cones. some with out tweeters and the usual warzone chit. but I have found some good deals. I got a JL8W0 in a box for $9. also got a 12" type R for $65. an image dynamics IDQ12 for 12 bucks. so yes, you can find good deals. but you have to know what to look for and go in there frequently. most the time I just go in there to get a couple kicks out of the idiots working there.

I just got a pair of Kicker C8a's for 18 bucks yesterday, to add to my past cash converters finds of a Zapco Z50s2 and z50s4 for 20 each tax in at two different stores, got a Punch 60 for 30 bucks, mint in box DEQ-230 for 110, JBL GTi 18 for about 120, etc, etc.

I've gotten some crazy deals in there, but you do have to go a lot and know what to look for.

Personally I wonder who buys the other . They had a MTX 4500 10" for 130, no box

The CC's and Buster's in my area seem to know their , everything's pretty much the highside of the price range you'd expect it to be in, always.

lol... i have a funny story about CC... about 7 years ago before i knew anything about car audio (i still know just the basic's) a friend of mine told me to go there and check out the car audio.. at the time i was looking for a cheap sub and amp... and he told me he found a great deal on some old school Autotec? amps or somthing..

anyway... i went there and didnt see anything i liked.. (mind you i didnt know what i was looking at) i made a mental note of what they had to tell him when i got back... so im telling him and i mention this really old looking deck that was in great shape but looked old fashion.. he was like "wtf? oldfashion?" im like "yeah it looked like 70's... mcyntire or somthing..." he then freaks out and yells "mcintosh!!?" so now we are racing back there and sure enough... it was a mcintosh deck... only about 3 years old (at the time)
i didnt need a deck at the time so my buddy grabbed it... price? 45$

LOL --- whenever someone tried to trade in a broken amp or sub I would send them to Cash Converters and they would always buy it. Make sure you test something before you take it and find out if you get warranty because there is a good chance it was previously broken....
