I managed to get some decent deals lately just by being a member on some
of the various forums.

I picked up:

2 JL Audio 10W3V2 subs, a Nissan Titan box, and a Rockford Fosgate Punch
P5002 locally for $200

A Bass Slammers dual 10" enclosure for $22.12 shipped to my house!

A used Memphis PR16-1.5 KD for $180 shipped (750 @4 ohms and 1500 @ 2
ohms). Sure it is rated at 1.5% THD, but that is plenty of power for my
application.

I also purchased a Kicker Solobaric L5 in the ported Kicker enclosure
for $150 NIB on closeout!

Cadence is also having a blowout on some of their amps:

I guess what I am getting at is if you play your cards right, you can
find great deals anywhere, new or used!

Actually, I forget the model, but Pioneer has a 10" sub that is
overlooked and I would rate it better than the JL Audio. Dammit, now
you are going to make me look for the model...

Yeah, but your CV amp will NOT drive my Solo-baric L5 without catching
on fire!

Hmm, I am going to have to call BS on this one. Almost all the latest
Cerwin Vega Car amps I have seen of late are rated at .1% THD NOT .05%.
I think I will take a Class D amp over the AB design that CV tends to
use with their latest and greatest creations.

What is the model number of the CV amp that is rated at .05% THD?

[John Durbin]

Who cares? BW is an idiot, and the difference between 0.1% and 0.05% is
entirely inaudible, much less in a moving vehicle.

I was correct in one aspect because there is NO WAY that amp would
produce enough power to drive my 12" Solo-baric L5!

On the other hand, I bet it would make a decent amp for running the high
frequency speakers. Did you ever hook any of your CV amps up to test
the quality of their sound?

[bob wald]

not yet.... engine troubles...so say the magic words......''you were
right,i was wrong.''lol

Fine, if it makes you happy, you were right and I was wrong! There, I
said it.

Now, I am going to start a ****storm. Most people don't know or don't
want to believe this, but certain Cerwin Vega amps have the same board
as ARC Audio amps which are manufactured by Tunpo Electrical HK Co. In
other words, do your research before you overpay for a name!

[bob wald]

never heard of arc amps. must be pretty good.

Damn, which rock have you been under? (j/k lol). Chip Foose uses them
exclusively in his Overhaulin vehicles.
