Is what I have worth anything?

[big_c_snow 10+ year member]

Hello all, I am curious as to the relative worth of what I have. Keep in mind that I paid $120 for all this, the subs, amp, and box.

One amp, a Total Mobile Audio T3202, says it has 320 watt RMS total power... I'm not sure and as far as i know have no way to prove whether or not this is true.

The subs, two Lanzar 10" VS series, with a single 4 ohm voice coil.

The question is, is this worth anything? Right now I have this in a bandpass box, and it seems to me to sound pretty decent. Any ideas? Thanks!

Well, if you are looking at the aspect of me wanting to keep it, then yes, it is worthwhile. However, I am considering selling it, and I would also like to know what sort of power my amp makes, as well as the amount of power that my subs can handle, so that I can properly tune my system to sound better and last longer. Plus I want to know if I got quality equipment or not.

Thanks!

Try googling some of it. The amp I am not too sure off, but Aznbass seems to know a little about them.

The subs being I have owned a lot of Lanzar products are ok. I dont remember the RMS of them, but if I remember correctly, they are not true on their ratings.

I personally would try and sell most of the stuff and start over. I am sure we could help you given a budget and what not.

If you are keeping it and are happy then thats all that matters.

one of my friend's used to have a Total Mobile Audio amp and he told me he fried in quite soon after he got it. I don't have person experience with the amps though

Okay, so I googled it, and found what I need, and need some more advice.

I'm pretty sure my bandpass box sounds like crap, as I think it can only play a small range of frequencies pretty well, and everything else slightly above that range is almost inaudible. So, the question is, what sort of box would allow me to maximize the bass from my subs? I'm not really that interested in SQ, at least not at this time.

The sub (the specs I found) is as follows... Up for auction is a Lanzar car audio subwoofer. This is a VS-10 4 ohm sub.

10” High Resolution Subwoofer

Handles Up To 150 Watts RMS

300 Watts Total Power Handling

Interwoven Carbon & Fiber Cone

High Temperature Kapton Polymide Voice Coil Former

Compressed Multi-Layer Suspension

Do I believe this, and how would I wire the two up to maximize output and not let the magic smoke out of anything? I know that is a pretty noobish question, but I am pretty new to doing this the right way. Thanks for all the help!
