hispls Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Assuming they are indeed the 4" coil ones they're worth that money broken just for the motors.... in fact if you buy them and break them, hit me up, I know a guy in the Bronx that would buy them broken. Bear in mind spider sag + 15 year old technology... you're going to want to pay to play if you want some big boy sound, but grab those for 75$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowfkncar Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 You lucky bastard!!! Those were the shit! Yes 1000k RMS all day! 4" coil bro, besides the 10's I think. The sensitivity is not to bad either for a 4" coil. Probably because a short coil. Lmfao! Edit* 1000rms all day! so for $75, two 12" of this are a good deal? If they are brand new, then they are a STEAL. If they are used and in working condition then they are a good deal. If they are sagging and torn, it will be around 300-400$ for drop in re-cones. 500$+ if you have someone recone them for you, at that point just look at new sub's. These sub's are great, but should not have to dish out more then 200$ total for a working pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQL50 Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 If their in working order, someone would be a fool not to buy them for that price. Because you could turn around and sell them and make profit, even if you didn't want to run them. But yeah, awesome deal, still great subs, get them.

I'd like to know what to look for. Also, would you consider them better or worse than todays RF P3's? Would just like to know if it would be worthwhile to hook them up into my system?

hispls Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 It doesn't even matter. Buy them, tear them apart, sell the motors for 50$ a pop and sell the frames for 20$ a pop and you cleared 20$ even if you ship free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylet1644 Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 put a meter on the coils and see what they read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeznutz Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Like everyone said, they were the shit back than. I had "5" , yes "5" NIB,.....predecessors to the RFR sub,.....the PWR-412 single coil 12's when I was building my Unofficial RF Chevy S-10 in 2002. I sat on them for 2 years and sold them for $1000 on Ebay to finish my build and instead went with 4 12 HX2's. Things to keep in mind. Before you buy them "to use" bring an Ohm meter and have them metered. If you want to buy them to break them and sell the motors, than don't bother reading below! I have turned down 3 pairs of Old School RFR 12's so far because of abnormal readings. This is what I have found while pawn shopping for subs. My findings are pretty consistent, so I want to share. To test for a sagging spider, Visually inspect both subs, see if one is lower than the other. You'll be surprised at how one sub will be lower. People sell subs to pawn shops for this reason. (I have 2 shops testing V.C. resistance before buying them thanks to me. lol) Test the voice coils individually. Back then they only had 4 Ohm. Each coil should read about 3.8-3.9 Ohm typically. Sagging spiders I have found will yield higher numbers like 4.2-4.3 Ohm or higher. If you get less than 3.7 Ohm, the coils will be fired. And you can not tell because you can not see the coil like the new subs. Do not bother pressing on the coil, that really doesn't tell you much except for rubbing. I sell used subs on Ebay. I have not had a single complaint by sticking with these parameters I have mentioned. -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
