    Hi, im really a noob when it comes to car audio but im trying to get a better idea of how i should price this sub. First of all, i'll tell you where the sub came from. My friends have always been really into the car audio scene, and they knew a guy that could get kove armageddon subs and i used to have a kove armageddon 12" before this custom one. Anyways, my friends started gettign these custom made subs from the same guy and i was really impressed by the sound quality and craftmenship (boxes too). Well sold my kove armaggeddon and now i have a custom sub that has a kove armageddon motor and various mixture of sundown audio and kove armageddon parts. This sub is way bigger than the original kove and 350 watts more powerfull, my old kove armageddon was 1250 watts RMS, and the guy told me this custom sub is 1600 rms, my real question is does a custom built sub add value to the sub? i know its pretty hard to find kove armageddon subs and they retail pretty high, but he also told me its a dual 1/2 ohm voice coil and copper coil, i've been trying to find a sub thats dual 1/2 ohm but cant seem to find anywhere...is it possible to even have dual 1/2 ohm? and if so does that mean i got a beast? the sub is about 40 lbs and 8.25" deep, im trying to get an idea on how much to sell it for, its never been used, only tested at the guys house, which is here in sacramento and i have the box that was made for the sub made by the same guy...thanks for your time

    Well, what is the guy's name? With custom subs everyone wants to know the name. That plays a huge part in how much it is worth really.

    i wanna say the guys name is mike, but i only was introduced to him as the "audio man", here are a couple pics of the sub, put a 2 liter coke bottle next to it so you can see how big the magnets are and how deep it is
