I'd say it's worth it.

Though, it's NOT meant for everyone. Thermally it can handle quite a bit of power, but in the wrong enclosure, mechanically if you don't know what you're doing, it can turn out bad.

They are an SQ sub, despite the beefy appearance. Most people that enjoy them without damage run only 300 - 500 watts on them due to the fragile cone. It is a very application specific woofer.

I glued a Fi dustcap to mine to protect the cone and make it a little stronger. 1.0cf ported to 32hz is amazing.

I worry about the fragile cone, and the box sizes are not for everyone. It is more so for small sealed set up's with mid to low power.

He had a sale going on thru xmas eve for $100 shipped.

When he has them on ebay they typically go for $50-60 w/ ~$50 shipping.

That cone was probably the most fragile I've seen.

Was a shame, too, because it sounded pretty darn good. If it were me, I'd run them downfiring or inverted at the very least.
