    i have found 2 of these in a sealed box in good condition they are asking 300...thought im sure i can get it for under 250..

    question being is it worth it? or should i keep looking

    im trying to pair them with my JBL 14001 amp.

    if you can inspect them in person that would be nice.

    how old are they? because JL subs use foam surrounds and they like to rot out easily.

    yeah i thought they were older judging by the picture they looked different i then asked how old they said they are about 7 years old but just sat in a closet for more than half of that and they look very well taken care of even the box is in new condition

    but with them being 7 years old i fear they cant handle what i wanna do...its just hard on such a low price

    i did talk him into 200 for 2 boxes for them sealed and bandpass and he is giving me a couple amps i guess one is a 1200 watt sony xplode and the other is a 600 watt lanzar or something im assuming both are older but i like the age factor with the amps..

    he says they are 7 years old but been sitting most of the time in a closet..they pictures look good..

    here is a picture of them http://kalamazoo.craigslist.org/ele/2194595218.html

    please some input because im leaning towards getting these and hooking them up to either that GTO (doubtfully) or my kenwood KAC-9104D this isnt looking like too bad of a deal i mean they are 15s right?..but for the age and everything im not sure really though he is throwing a couple amps in the sony could be DECENT right? and a couple boxes

    is this just not good?

    even for 7 year old subs though i see that the new ones go for around 130 or so a peice...and i know they are like only like 250 watts rms a piece...it just seems like i could get something a little better for the price is all..


    im just worried that the older ones wouldnt stack up with the newer ones even.

    i thought you were getting the subs, 2 boxes, and 2 amps for 200?

    in my oppionion your better off getting those subs with the boxes and amps and turn around and sell em for much more then u bought them for! then u would have even more money to spend on what u want!

    actually thats what i was thinking but i dont think i would truely get much more for them than i paid..

    and this w7 is for sure the sub i want and its worth close to 800 dollars..way more than i could ever PAY for it..but i dont mind doing the trade..

    W7 get a lot of people saying good and a lot saying bad but i heard the 12 one time and it blew my mind..so im thinking im getting a good deal in this package

    thank you and i have to admit looking at what you get for the price i would never do it!! But looking at it for what it is and givin the price and what im actually giving up isnt much in comparison thats the only reason i am so happy with it..it beats out any 200 dollar sub i could buy
