MrPiE Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 I'm new to the forums. But I have been watching Mr. Meade's magic since the beginning and have always been a huge fan. So my question is regarding the price of some equipment I'm looking to buy. I'm looking at two Rockford HX2 rfr3112 subwoofers and an audiobahn a2300hct. I offered the guy 750 but I'm not entirely sure if that was a fair price for the both of us should I have offered less or am I on target?
95legwagon Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 seems like a major ripoff..... they dont even make hx2's anymore from what i found on google and the audiobahn probably does close to the rated power by looking at the fuses..... 4 40a fuses and they claim 1200w rms..... but then efficiency isnt ever 100% so prolly not 1200 rms. you could get WAYYY better for $750 imo look at the for sale section on here and your sure to pick up decent equipment. i think there real i was looking through that guys stuff he sells and it looks like he finds stuff at auctions and just sells it Yea, it looks like someone got the mids about a month ago....shit.

teamace24 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Posted May 13, 2012 The amp is decent but not top notch or anything, you could find a newer up to date amplifier that would pound those subs better. But.... Those are top notch subs and were made when fosgate had their sub game high but 750 without a warranty is not good business.

MrPiE Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Posted May 13, 2012 Does anyone know retail price of hx2's when they first came out? Or what would be a fair price for two?

MrPiE Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Posted May 13, 2012 Oh yea I definitely wasn't going to throw all this much money into equipment without the correct power. It's going to be a long road to getting all the parts needed but thank you guys for all of your help (and saving me a lot of money). If I ever actually get anything going I will be sure to post pics.
