I'm trying to see if this guy is legit...here's the PM on SD

i got both the prices are:

399 + 8.25% + shipping

for 15

or 439 + 8.25% + shipping

for 18

XXX no wait time (re makes u wait 2 months or so somtimes)

thanks.

paypal is fine but u NEED CONFIRMED address and pay 3% more.

thanks

I made a thread saying i'd pay good money for a 18XXX, but if this guy already has them in his possesion...and he says he's not a dealer...i'm NOT paying his 8.25% he had to pay for tax. It's his fault if he ordered them, and decided not to use them...or a deal fell through. I REALLY want an 18XXX tho, and i'll talk to him on the fone b/c he says it's BNIB...so honestly...i'd pay $429+shipping. Whataya think? peace

You don't have to pay sales tax if you are in a different state

yeah, no shit...that's what i'm saying. Also, he says he's located in CA and RE is in NV so there shouldn't have been any tax for him either. peace

I know that guy. I saw his stuff on ebay. How does his stuff look like. I wanted an amp for my speakers and saw his 400.2 amp. Does the amps look new or are they all scratched and stuff.

the only scratch my 1200.1 was on the bottom cover, other than that flawless even the chrome was like new, the seller was competition soundworks. ngsm heres a couple of my 1200.1

i meant the 2500.1, i thought it made it's full power at 2ohm

Matter of fact I asume Directed squashed the Viper line for a new Xtream line.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

Viper was DEI's SPL line. When they bought out Orion they were competing with themselves so they eventually cancelled the Viper Line. The Xtreme line is their lower end line for those on a budget. It is not a substitute or replacement for any previous line.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/offtopic.gif.470a8b0541c72322a0037f48a8237473.gif just a bit but...The Xtreme product line offers astounding value, "bang per $ so to speak" for being Directed's entry level, low end componenets. I own the 500 watt Xtreme monoblock amplifier, and used it to push 2 RF punch 12's. The subs were mounted in a sealed box, and this little $200 amp tore those subs up for about 3 months, before the cones finally riipped off their suspensions, due to over powering I assume, although the output was always clean and responsive. This amp never got hot, never distorted, is very simple to set up and looks pretty sick too. Directed Audio had the right idea with Xtreme series, i wanna see how their other amps and speakers perform, if this amp was any indication, ill bet their entire line offers off the wall value with pretty sick styling.

I hear the Viper 2500.1 is an absolutely amazing amp. I also hear the Orion is an awesome amp. I have the same debate as you right now bro. I am deciding between a viper 4 channel and an Orion. decisions decisions. i know marley skater had a 2500.1 and loved it. I think he brokes his though. IDK how
