Buying refurbished subwoofer

[drumbum1314]

Is it worth it to buy a refurbished woofer from a legit internet dealer?

It'd be a Kicker S10L5 for $87 @ 4 ohms. Its the only 4 ohm L5 I can find at not over $120.

reconed woofers are ok i guess! its like a car with a new motor and ******

Any other suggestions...I mean a new motor and ****** does not sound like something I would want. When I was looking for used cars I stayed away from those.

in other words, he's saying it practically a brand new speaker. only that it was blown, then stripped out and replaced with new parts. thus leaving you with a practically new speaker.

Then you are not very intelligent. New means less problems then used.

No... it's not anything like buying an old car with a new motor/transmission. A used car with a new motor and transmission does not mean the car will work like a brand new vehicle.

Refurbished models virtually guarantee you a subwoofer that will perform like its brand new counterpart. The only thing wrong with them is the occasional cosmetic defect.
