well i picked them up. they do look brand new just a little dusty the coils all were 3.8 or 3.9. so i hope there alright. i did not think the R's would be so much heavier than my CVRs i cant belive there only rated for 100 watts rms more than a cvr its huge compared to it. good thing is they were dual 4 so i can wire them to 1 ohm. now i just need am amp.

Congrats, sounds like you got a great deal man. Those things like power, so I wouldn't take that 500rms too seriously //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

ya thanks man. i'm probably going to send them 750 each and see what happens.

good steal. Do a search on those subs. They are notorious for taking well over their rated RMS without any issues. They may get stinky if the coils are stressed, but its just a sign to tell you to lower the knob.

I think you got a fair price. (not that it matters now that you have already bought them).

And yeah I think they're ~21lbs

ya ive seen that many people have sent allot more than there rated power to them. so ill try out 750 to each and see how they sound.
