if you dont mind minor cosmetic blemishes i suggest you visit auction-tree closeouts on ebay...

I got 3 2006 r's for exactly $100...1 had a little rip in the surround, 1had some surface scrapes, 1 had a hole the size of a gumball...I fixed all of them with very little work...

i now push 1800 rms to all of em...3 months later there still goin strong:veryhapp:

I would say the older models are much more SQ oriented. They sounded amazing sealed and pretty **** good sealed. They dont have the output of the current series but if you really want R's and SQ, then I'd say get the older ones...I run 2 12"s of the older series and have had them sealed and ported and have heard a single 12" newer one ported...the newer one was much louder (but it was also in a hatch as opposed to my trunk) but it just didnt come close SQ-wise to mine, at all....

I tried to note that alittle in my post...its a prime example of install dependancy. His single 2005 12" was in 2.25ft^3 @32hz in the back of a 300zx...so the **** thing was 6" behind you...My 2 2004 12"s were in the trunk of my Acura sedan...
