Hello,
I am a rookie at car audio and about 6 months ago I purchased two Alpine Type S 12" Subwoofers and an MTX amp with installation and an enclosure from a trusted friend for $480. Just a few days ago my left sub started to rattle on certain songs and the rattle coming from INSIDE the sub is unbearable. Everyone is telling me that it is blown and the only way to fix it is a recone. To add fuel to the fire, everyone I speak to is telling me that I got ripped off.
So the following questions come to mind:
Did I get ripped off? How much can I sell this system for now?
Is it worth it to just get another Type S sub to complete the system or do I find another system altogether?
What kind of price point are we looking at for another, upgraded, system that would no longer have the risk of just breaking on me for no apparent reason and maintain strong but clear bass?
Any input is appreciated.
Thank you
