The guys at low HZ are scumbags...
I can do $375 shipped.Ben,So audiojunkies quoted you $375 before they even knew you talked to Nick?Ok I think you got a little confused by the email.Nick said the preorder price of $350 is over now. Which means that you can't get them for $350 anymore.Hey Ben, here is the email I got from Nick Lemons:Thanks for that info. If you could just show me proof that you were offered a SI mag 12 for $375, I could work something out and even lower that price for youBen,Well tell me a little about yourself, and I will see what I can do.I am looking into a MAG 12 and audio junkies offered me a new one for 375 shipped. Can you beat his price? LEt me know. Thanks.
Do you attend lots of SPL comps? Go to lots of car shows? What do you drive?
Give me so info about what you can do in terms of showing off the mags, and I may be able to put something together for you.

My name is Dominik Im 21 years old and I drive a 93 Infiniti J30. I have been in car audio for the last 3-4 years. I have never been to a dB drag, but I really want to get into it next season. I think the Mag is a perfect driver for that. I visit alot of the online forums and post alot about new subwoofers and toys, of course giving some small reviews on what I liked and didnt like.
I defenitely like to switch out drivers ofter, but if I find one I like then I will keep it for a long time. I really fell in love with the old first generation Magnum I had and I wanna give this one a shot.
I was just going to write a big review for a regular stock RE SX 12 vs a 12 SX hybrid. If you can make this happen I could include the MAG and possibly an Fi Q if I get my hands on one. Let me know, thanks for your time.

I just can't give anyone a great deal though who says they were offered one for $375 shipped. People would just come to me all the time saying, I can get one for $350, can you match it?
So just show me an email or something then I will throw an even nicer price your way.

Subject: RE: SI Mag D2
Dominik,
The pre-order has been over for quite some time now. The Direct
Price on a 12" unit shipped within the continental U.S. is $350 shipped.
Older soft-parts are no longer available. The build of the
older drivers was simply not up to par with what we are currently
building and we refuse to go back to those soft parts. Re-cone kits for
the new drivers, however, will drop right in place for the older units.
The dust-cap, however, will have to be re-used as the claw basket does
not allow enough clearance for the new dust caps.

If you can match his 350 dollar price, then I will gladly give you the business. Let me know. Thanks
Dom
Then he was saying that because of the new soft parts, the prices have gone up since then.
Also, I thought you said Audio Junkies quotes you $375 for a 12? I am good friends with Lukas, and he said that he said he would offer $375, because that is what SI quoted you months ago. Is that how it all went down?
Also, if you can get one from Nick at that price, I would go for it. But I don't think he will be willing to sell that low.
Ben
The preorder price for the MAG 12 was actually 300 shipped. Here ya go:
"Dominik,
Ordering is only available through money order, cashiers check, or Paypal
payment. Paypal is the only way we accept CC payments due to previous problems
with CC companies.
Pre-order pricing was $300 shipped for a 12.
I don't doubt how the older Magnum is holding up / performing. They were/are
very good woofers, but the new Mag's are just that much better. And yes, the
older Magnum's used a slightly modded TC9 motor with a 3" core and a 2.2"
winding height built by TC Sounds (of course).
Nick "
He quoted me the direct price, which is 350 shipped. I dont see why you say he wont go that low. He stated it himself.
The other part about the soft parts, was me inquiring whether or not SI has any recone kits for the old claw Magnum, its has nothing to do with the pricing.
AudioJunkies did quote me 375 tho. But then I found the email I got from Nick Lemons.
Just be real with me, I know how this business works. I know that you are still making money off the 350 shipped price tag. I honesltly dont see how this has to get so confusing. I told you about myself, and how I could show off the magnum. I gave you the quotes I got from Nick Lemons for factory direct price. If you want to sell me a Mag 12 for 350 shipped, then fine. If not thats fine too. Just dont BS me. Thanks for your time.
Dom
I am just trying to figure out exactly how it went down.
For $375 I would make a little off of the deal. But if we did $350, then after shipping to you, plus insuring it, it would not be worth it at all.
A lot of people think I get the mags for like $100 each or some crazy price like that, but honestly it will cost me a good amount over $300 to get it to your door.
But I do need to know if audiojunkies quoted you $375 for the mag 12, before they even knew you talked to Nick.
Thanks for spending the time wriitng, and I will talk with Nick and see how cheap I can get you a mag, to see if he will make an exception is dealer pricing this time around.
Ben
I know you do not get the mags for 100 dollars, don't take me for an idiot, but I do know that you dont get them for 350 shipped either. That way you wouldnt make any money, and I'm not trying to stop you from making money either. This is the retail business after all.
So please just give me a price you are comfortable with and that is profitable for you and we can go from there.
Shipping from GA to me is less that 20 dollars for a 50 lbs package(I know the mag is not that heavy) Hopefully that can help you come up with a fair price for both of us. Thanks for your time.
Dom
Shipping would be from KY, and using UPS ground and fully insuring it, I am sure it will cost more then $20.
Let me know how that sounds.
Ben
That was my dealing with him and trying to buy a MAG. I think that low hz should be dropped as an SI dealer.If you want to work something out. I will do $400 plus actual shipping.Ben,I thought you said you could get it from Nick for like $350?
If that is true, why are you asking me for it? It would be a much better idea to get it from him
Nick gave me a call today, and said that I WAS NOT allowed to sell a mag 12 for under $450 shipped to anybody. He said this was true for all dealers, and that any dealer who did that would be dropped.
So just go with him, because honestly, the risk is WAY to high for me to consider it, especially how he is really cracking down on this now.
Sorry I can't help you out, but I have rules to follow,
Ben
If you sold it to me for any price we negotiated I would have kept the price to myself.
But thats cool man. I actually called SI the other day and he reffered you. He said they ended the direct sales a while ago.
Thanks for your time and sorry if I incovinienced you.
Dom
And that is between us.
Ben
