Refurbished?

There is a refurbished 1200.1 Viper amp for $189. First of all, is the amp good? second, does the fact that it's refurbished make it worse than a new one or will it work just the same?

I had this same question. THere's a place on ebay that sells refurbished planet audio amps. I could get like a 2400 watt rms amp, but then I read some seller feed back and some of the stuff he ships out is broken so I didn't want to take the chance.

Sorry I don't have an answer on this one. Are you getting it refurbished from a shop friend or ebay?

Most refurbs at most have minor cosmetic blemishes, but sometimes don't. However, Most refurbs are also tested much more than an amp right off the factory line, and are much better inspected. In my opinion, I'd much rather buy a refurb because It's unlikely that after being fixed and so heavily tested, that more will be wrong with the amp.

True. Refurb is the way to go.

Is it a true factory refurb? Or did any random idiot "repair" it. Also it could be possible it has a new board, that would be nice //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

Find out more about what you buy before it's bought, if you have questions about it. If it's Ebay, don't buy refurb unless it says factory refurb. If it's ikesound or woofersetc or whatever, buy it up!
