This a good price?

[Darren5531 10+ year member]

$90 shipped for a oldschool rockford fosgate 225.2 with a bunch of raptor wire and some terminals and distro blocks, will put out 650ish rms. Or should I spend more money and get a better amp? I know I could get a 1000+rms amp for under 150. The price was orginally 75 shipped but he never answered my pms and then he put the price up. Or should I get a 400w rms alpine or kenwood I forget for 50 shipped? Want a cheaper amp to power my 15' tc9 for awhile until I have more money.

What should I do?

Thanks

ya so its either buy a nice amp and get her something cheap or buy her something nice have her happy and then spoil myself later lol. Should I just do the kenwood for 50 shipped that will do around 400w rms? Or do the fosgate? Or what should I do?

thanks for the replies

they are pretty efficent drivers. i say go for something around 400-500 rms now and then upgrade later. and let me know when you upgrade and ill have an amp for you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

get some credit and get a good amp 1000wrms+ for $10 down, and get the girl something nice, then she can finish paying 4 the amp when its her turn to buy you something nice //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

that 225.2 will rock

 

[OneKrazyKeebler 10+ year member]

Yeah, that is a good deal on that amp and other stuff it comes with. I would get it. That amp will get hot, but it is supposed to.

 

[Darren5531 10+ year member]

Well $40 for around 250 watts more I can't really see it being worth it. I can get a kenwood 7202 that will push 460 rms @ 4 ohms. Or would paying the extra $40 for the rockford be alot better?

Thanks
