my biggest issue is if its worth it. i worked out the numbers and the cheapest im finding all this for is about 740 w/out a box . He wants $600 so im only saving about 140 bucks from brand new. also he does have the subs in a box so i guess im saving on that also.

But is this set up worth it? Is this amp matched properly with the subs or is one item much stronger than the other. Im really not familiar with this 2ohm 4ohm lingo.

Would someone recommend just holding out and getting a solobaric/rockford setup?

 

i'd hold out for the solobaric/rockford setup...i had that in my eclipse and it was the ish!!! Don't ever settle, patience is a virtue

 

Alpha Sonik is a great brand, just check the condition of the amp and subs. My friend deals almost exclusively with Alpha Sonik, and has never been dissappointed. Very high quality amps.

 

^^^ agrees. you wont be dissapointed. just check the condition and have him test it out for you.

 

He says he has the reciepts and that the system is only 2 months old. i saw the amp. its in pristine condition with one minor blemish that i could really careless about.
my main concern was if the 2 items are fit for eachother...and if its really worth the 600 dollars used...

 

I like being the first owner when it comes to things like these. In case it blows (knock on wood), I'll only have myself to blame. I would recommend a solobaric because I'm loving mine. I'm powering it with an Alpine and it's been working flawlessly for 2 years.
