Was this a good deal?

2 JL AUDIO W0 10" subwoofers and a 250.2 Rockford Fosgate Punch amplifier. The subs are in a carpeted enclosed box and one of the subs has a dent in the middle but it does not affect the sound and bass. Im buying this for 190 off this guy in one of my cousins classes. Doesnt come with wiring. I was wondering if you guys think this is a good deal and what should i look for before buying. I will post pics soon. thanks

without the box i'd say 150, but since it comes with a box, which doesn't come cheap, if that's what he wants either give it to him if you really want the subs and amp, the thing about car audio, especially used, no matter what you buy, sometime down the road you may stumble across a better deal, if this is your first stereo setup, 190 for subs and an amp, making you only need power, speaker, and rca's to complete the setup.....it might be a good enough deal.

The dent does suck, but shouldn't truely matter unless you are getting it to show off......or if you are trying to resell it down the line.....which in a yr or so won't make you any $$ anyways.

good luck with whatever you choose.

im not getting this to show off, just want good sound but have little funds. i dont plan on buying anything audio for my car after this. I thought i could buy wat this guy has and just pay someone for installation. Is that possible or do i need to buy more, and if so how much higher is that going to run me?

Remember this is USED so you dont really know when is it going to give out, but the deal its okay tho a lil lower will be good.

These prices sound about correct of ebay, only problem is off ebay if you get screwed you can't go out and beat the guy down, if buying off a friend atleast you'd personally know what his house looks like most likely.

Not saying beat downs are a good thing, just saying one of ebays problems is that prices are really low but partly because there's the chance you may not get what you want for that price so people aren't able to sell as high.

sorry for posting this thread. after seeing the pictures its obvious to see that what the guy was selling isn't worth 190 FIRM!!. The sub is dented and looks really bad. I would like to show u pics but images are too large. Im planning on going with the jls with prowedge box and kenwood amp and does come with wiring. just need to talk down the price. anyways thanks for your help guys.
