Someone offered me a sound system, good deal?

Question

ok so im starting to get into the sound systems right, still a noob, and i got my first car about a month ago (99 mercury cougar)

ive been seriously searching for some subs now and am getting offers from all sides, here is the one ive been considering the most:

2 12 inch Alpine R subs (used)

Double sub box with custom green tint (matches my car)

MTX 600 Watt amp

Full wiring and capacitor and installation

No warranty

he says its valued at 1550$

hes offering me 650$

The guy is a friend of a friend and works at best buy in thhe audio department.... what should i do???

Answer 1

Ok for 650 you're getting:

2 Type Rs in an enclosure (that matches)

600 watt amp

all the wiring

and installation

c**p-pacitor

Assuming the gear works and there are no shortcuts on the install, that is a nice deal and you should take it.

Answer 2

not a great deal offer him less. like 500. and unless thats 600 watts rms that amp puts out get a differnt amp.

Answer 3

you could probably get that new for 650 maybe even less

a friend of a friend is not a friend

and i think best buy works off of commission so hes trying to make a buck off of you

Answer 4

AMP-NEW,PUT IN MY CAR BY MYSELF,TWO JL AUDIO 12'' SUB.'S-NEW,A JL AUDIO 2 AWG DUAL AMP KIT-NEW,INFINITY KAPPA SPEAKERS-NEW,A FOUR-CHANNEL AMP BY KICKER WHICH IS THE SX SERIES DIGITAL AMP-NEW,A NEW CLARION DXZ785USB CD PLAYER PUT IN AND IT IS 6-CHANNEL COMPATIBLE AND ALL DIGITAL,IT HAS 6 VOLT PREAMP OUTPUTS,A HIGH CURRENT BATTERY AND A HIGH CURRENT ALTERNATOR AND A BIG 3 DONE AS WELL AND IT ONLY COST $1,650.00 AND THAT IS AT FULL PRICE,TOO..............AND MY CAR HAS STUFF IN IT THAT IS ALOT MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THAT STUFF,SO;DOES PROVE ANYTHING TO YOU......AND,OH YEAH I FORGOT TO SAY KICKER EQUALIZER,AS WELL WHICH COST $200 ITSELF,OUT OF THE $1,650 DOLLARS.......AND,THE EQUALIZER HAS EVEN GOT BUILT-IN CLIP REACTORS......IT,ALSO HAS FEATURES SO YOU CAN TUNE EACH SPEAKER TO SOUND EXACTLY PERFECT,TOO...........SO,I THINK YOU NEED TO DO SOME RESEARCH FIRST...........and,oh yeah not mention all the fiberglass display stuff,as well every speaker and sub. is in a custom display in my vehicle and all that stuff only cost $1,650.00

Answer 5

OMG dont do it. I have two 12s That striaght pound in my car. with a 1000 watt amp. even though I have no custom box that someone could easily make. I so wouldnt even sell it for 200 dollars bc there used. and 600 watts aint ****. Probably mess your subs up with that little of watts. Plus no subs have warranty unless there super expensive. If they were really worth 1500 there is no way he would only sell them for 650. i would watch out hes probably ripping you off.
