good bye sundown hello orion

[reinke]

some might think i am stupid. but, i recently purchased a sundown 3000d. i kept it for maybe a week, never hooked it up or anything. i traded it the other day for 2 american bass vfl extremes, a orion hcca 275g4 and a clarion HU. i used to have a 275g4 in high school and lover it. i have never even heard the vfl extremes on music but with what they can do in db drag i am hoping they are almost as loud for music. i have heard that they can and will blow if i play music for extended periods of time. hopefully someone with experience with these woofers can chime in though. my plan is to do a ported box subs forward and ports up in my f150. i really want to do a 4th order bandpass but my cousin told me they are good for only one note or for one song. i am sure i will end up building one though. either that or buying a prefabbed one. thats all i used to run back in the day. grant it they were all prefabbed 4th orders but i love them. anyways here are some pics.

and just for shits a giggles

how is that a good buy??

He traded a brand new $800 sundown amp that never ever seen power, for 2 used subs that cost not even $200 brand new, The cheapest Clarion headunit made that is $85 brand new, and a 10 year old used amp that is only 1200wrms that appears to be missing its power plugs.... Yea thats a nice amp 10 years ago when they where made.... but the sundown is 20 times better.

he got took, big time...

Id seruously trade back...

A buddy that owns a shop in greenbay wi that sells them. I know their prices, not to mention I use to run a lot of american bass products.

I am also an orion dealer at the shop I work for, and had two 800g4s about 10 years ago when they came out with 2 of the older hcca woofers. These amps where great amps back in the day with their miltary spec pc-board, but they sell on ebay now a days for around $300.

Heres your plugs on ebay that you need to hook up your amps power reinke...

$40..
