    Well, I have a buddy that wants to sell me some subs. Here is what they are. I know they work because I've been with him when he has used them. He is asking 150 dollars for them. So, my question is, are these subs worth the money? They will come with the speaker box also. Any advice is much appreciated.

    all it is a kicker prefab box loaded with kicker subs...

    i doubt the subs are the cvx series. more than likely they're just some krappys they put in there and sell them for like 200 or more!!

    I don't need something that shakes down the entire block, but something that rattles a little bit. He also used this amp with them: Kicker ZX750.1 (06zx7501) 06ZX750.1 ZX Series Class D Monoblock

    Thanks for all the advice everyone.

    Well I would talk him down a little bit, but I just wanted to know if these would be a good investment for a decent system.

    IMO, it's probably better if you just got some new subwoofers, and got some cheap boxes, or built your own. you could stay in the same price range and have brand new stuff...i don't like to trust things that others may not have taken care of like i do though, just my $.02.

    Id offer $110 top dollar. Maybe a little less. I had these before my MTX's and they deffinately hit pretty hard for begginning subs. They will deffinately rattle your car, id go for it. Their good begginner subs IMO.

    These would be perfect to start a system out with, but for what he's asking I wouldn't even touch them. With $150 you could do so much more. Talk him down to $100 then you're good.
