Buying a used sub...

[etc. 10+ year member]

What things should you ask the seller of a used subwoofer?

Things to look for?

Any help would greatly be appreciated //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

If its not reconable your better off buying new.

ask if the suspension is still stiff or if its worn out. then ask him to take a pic with his name and date and a dmm showing that the coils read 2 ohms or 4 ohms or w/e the ohm load on the sub is, (too make sure its not blown). then give us the pics and w/e info you have on the sub. make sure the sub is reconable so if you blow it your not fvcked

what do the voice coils read, any blimishes anywhere, how old is it, how many watts did he send to it, what kind of box did he have it in? All of those are helpful.

i preffer only buying from members that are fairly respected around here and have good refs. i'd be pretty leary (sp?) of someone with only a few posts, no pic's w/ user name and date.

I was looking at a 12" IA 187 and will have to check about reconing.

I'm sending a PM to the seller, asking the questions you gave me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
