ya, may use it in my sl! its between that and my diamonds.

I see 3 possibilities w/ this post.
A) You already had these amps and wanted to show off.

B) The people at the pawn shop didn't know **** about car audio (and likely thought the Kicker amp was the best quality amp in the lot)

C) You are just trolling.

But hey, if you really did pick these up for $150...**** good deal man.

a) nope. if I wanted to show off, ive got nicer stuff.

b) this is pretty likely. they were on clearance, meaning theyve had them for a while.. none of them are rated at 9 million peak watts, so the ghetto trash people dont care much for them. (boss and soundstream are what sells fastest around here)

c) I have no way to convince you otherwise, but im not.

I dont care much about the kicker (as I said, I bought it just for the 3 knobs on the adjustment pots) but does anyone know about the zapco? are the 30th anniversary editions rare/desirable, or just marketing nonsense?

thsnks!

If you dont know much about any of them then how do you just happen to have nicer stuff laying around that you could show off?You dont know how nice they are, remember?

I know the name zapco man. ive been on the ca forums for 13 years, under various handles. im not a newbie to car audio, but that doesn't mean I know everything about all the different brands... I browse pawn shops all the time, and occasionally come up on a deal. in the past 6 years I've been doing that I've purchased:

2 diamond d7s ($85/ea)

kicker zx2500.1 ($150)

kicker zx750.5 ($65)

old kicker zr1000 ($100, flipped it same day)

rockford 25 to life punch 150 ($125)

beautiful old massive d200x ($150)

2 eclipse in dash navs ($100 ea)

Pioneer avic z2 ($200)

premier 880prs ($75)

premier 860mp ($35)

plus tons of subwoofers.. I've got a solo x in layaway (paying $199) as well as a few more amps. there's more, but that's some of the nicer gear I've pulled. now when I bought them, did I know everything about them? nope, I did what I did with these amps.. gambled. I've been burned several times as well (burnt amps, broken cd players, etc), so I don't always win.

not having knowledge of a specific product didn't mean I'm a noob who knows nothing about car audio, nor did I ever claim that to be true. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif now, I'm severely confused what my motive would be for "trolling" or lying about what I paid? I mean, if I bought these to flip (I didn't) id have been shooting myself in the foot, as a quick search here would indicate my price paid, and drive the price down, and if I was intending to brag to cause jealousy, I promise I could have made up a better story, or just shown off some of the better deals I've gotten. the reason I posted this thread was genuine.. as I didn't knew the value of the avionixx, or the zapco. (no luck

searching ebay for avionixx, zapcos seem to be up and down depending)

now, can you actually post helpful information on any of my questions, or are you just here to troll, based on ludicrous assumptions?

thanks! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
