[QUOTE="rdlyn13000, post: 7772930, member: 641109"] So a couple weeks ago I picked up a Skar Audio VVX-12 Directly from Kevin. It was one of them 4-12's he had for sale that he had in a customers car for a week then pulled because he didnt pay. He sold me the sub for $140 shipped which I thought was a fair price so I grabbed it. The subwoofer arrives and I wait about a week then get ancy and throw it in a sealed box roughly 1.1-1.3 cubic feet and hooked it to my JL 500/1 just to do a quick test to see if it worked and how it sounded etc... Well the thing sounded terrible, it popped bad and just had an odd noise the whole time. I wasnt happy so I PMed Kevin and told him what was going on and the next day he called me. He said the problem was the box, he said it was to small allthough his website says 1.1 sealed recommended. He said get a 1.6 ported box and try that. So I get a box roughly 1.5-1.7 ported and try it again. Same thing the sub would pop bad and just has a very bad sound to it. Now both the times I tested the sub it was on for less then 20 seconds and was not turned up very loud, once I heard the sound I turned it off immediatly! So I PM Kevin and fill him in and he says that he tests all subs before they leave and everything works 100% before it leaves the shop, so he tells me its either something I did or ups did. Well im not sure how ups could do anything and there's no way I could of done anything to it! So now here are my options, 1. Ship back to him on my own dollar and he will test and determine what the problem is, then if he determines it was not his fault then I will need to pay for a recone and shipping back to me!! Now that would make me have more money into this speaker then its even worth brand new!! And in all honesty I dont really want the sub anymore I want something more beefy!! 2. I could say eff Skar Audio and send it to SPLAudio and have him just rebuild it into a 1200rms sub with all new soft parts and much beefier im sure for $145 plus shipping to him. I think either way I go will put me well over budget sense I only wanted to spend the $140 to begin with unless Kevin determines that is was his fault and warrenties me a new sub for free and covers shipping. I highly doubt in will turn out in my favor so whats a guy to do??? Need some help fellas!! [/QUOTE]
