old school vs new equip

[ArrizX 10+ year member]

Well, just thinking that I have seen some awesome brand new things here for sale, and then some awesome old school stuff for sale too.

so here is my question, even though its old school, would it will perform like new. givin lets say a sub is BNIB. its just that the sub that sees no power for a few years, hence why it is old school, would the soft parts harden, or crack or get to stiff to use on subs?

or because its not seen anything would it stay like it brand new ready to use like new things are, or with old things do you need to break them in?

depends how the sub was stored. if it's just left out in a garage or something, with moisture, extreme heat in the summer, things like that, it's going to deteriorate some.

I love old school stuff. I had a 15" round Solo-Baric that hadn't been powered in 4 years until yesterday when i put it in my car for a little bit to see how it sounded. The sub sounded outstanding even though it was way under powered, feeding it 250 rms from a 4 channel alpine amp. I kept the sub on a piece of carpet covered in plastic in my basement, it was still clean.
