These got a lot of flak for powered subwoofers, but from personal use over almost 2 years, this thing is perfect entry level sub for someone who just wants a no-hassle install without needing to worry about a separate amp. Plenty loud, never over-driven, and always crossed-over in the 80-85Hz region.

Functionality: 10/10

Cosmetic: 6/10

Runs perfectly, but has seen better days in terms of looks. A bit dusty and does have a few very minor scuffs on the chassis - nothing to affect function at all. The only thing I could find wrong with it: the side panel hiding the wiring connections snaps on to the sub using 8 plastic snap pieces/clips - of these 3 have broken. This doesn't impact how secure the side panel is - stays on there just fine. See pictures.

Price:

$230 OBO shipped. A bit on the high side, but this thing is heavy, and shipping is pricey.

$180 OBO for local pickup.

Shipping and Miscellaneous Item Information:

Got it new and have been the only owner, running it for a bit over a year in my old car. Got rid of the car and upgrading to something with a little more power for my next build, so no reason to hold on to it.

Can also include an amplifier power kit (power/ground/fuse/turn on lead - no RCA) for an extra $10 if you want.

Local obviously easier/faster/preferred. Otherwise will ship with USPS. Payment through PayPal Gift STRONGLY preferred unless local, then cash of course.

Ugh, I suppose I should entertain something. Don't really need anything car-audio wise at the moment - got all those parts. A high capacity iPod would go a long way (possibly with me even paying you some cash in addition to the sub). Umm, could also be convinced to look into some power tools? I have been looking to get a circular saw, a nice lithium cordless drill. Lets see, what else what else. Oh, if you have any Park Tools bicycle tool sets, also a possibility. Also have been looking to get a new printer since mine is so old, its actually cheaper for me to buy a new one then to replace the ink cartridge... something of the mono-chrome laser vareity, preferably networkable.
