i was looking around to add some subs and the prices were a little too high for me. i saw this used system for sale and found out it would fit behind my seat just barely.
the dimensions are 30 1/2 " L x 10 1/2" D x 15 1/4" H and i have a reg cab

what do you guys think about it. the lowest the person will go is $250 and they said thats a really good deal. im not so sure about buying used subs but the person assured me that they was taken good care of. they seem to be really good but i am not sure they are worth it. what do you think the price should be on them?
also, is it okay if i could just hook them up to my factory stereo? how good would they sound?
i dont want to really order something online. id rather have it close to home where i can see it personally. i dont want to go the local audio shops either because they charge some high prices. do you think its worth to buy used systems if i can get them for less than half the price?

 

I do not have the speaker specifications available, but my gut feeling is that the box could be tad small for two 12" sub-woofers to work well (seems that even 10" subs do require 1 cu.ft. each). If he is willing to go from $400 to $250 in "instant", hmmmmm, nearly 50% off the price - why he needs to get rid of it?

 

well, the first they guy was saying $400 but the price was VERY negotiable and so i just offered $200. they counter-offered with $250 and i said $200 was the most i was going to pay for a 4 year old system and he replied that he wasnt going to go any lower. i just want to know what they are really worth

 

if the cone is still firm, and the seal around the cone does not have holes around the rim, then it might be a safe buy. However, there might be an issue with the amp he isn't telling you about.
Those speakers can take a lot of abuse with out a lot of detrimental effects.

1+ on the box being a little small for those speakers. It doesn't really matter though, because unless you plan on just sitting the box on your back seats you are going to change it anyways.

 

i had a buddy with those same speakers, i beleive been awhile since he had them, but if they are the same there almost impossible to blow. there buy one get on from Circut City at the time and we had warranty, so the first day we were trying to blow them and with no luck after a couple good runs lol, i forget the exact setup he had with them but he kept them until he totaled his car. Iv personally always like the infinity subs. but im not expert lol

 

well i cant really have a big box because i have a regular cab. this box just barely fits behind the seats. the depth is the problem because i have only about a foot.

what could be wrong with the amp?

 

raminator look in my albums i have a siingle cab and made my own box threw in 2 10's and a kicker amp loud and cheap and custome i have power seates and it is all functional . just buy some subs and a amp and build one.

 

are you sure you want 2 12'' in a reg cab? i think you can find a better deal than that and get new subs...IMO

 

+1 on building your own box. it only cost me $30 with all the materials. cartoys wanted 150 for a box

 

i really dont want to go through the hassle of building a sub box. im pretty bad at this kind of stuff. im sure i could i find cheaper subs but are they this powerful?

hey ramhunter, how much did you pay total for your setup?
