casemods Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) I am completely new so subs/amps/boxes. I would like to know if I should demand my money back/better equipment or be happy with my purchase. It sounds OK but for $300 I had the exact same sound from frys electronics with a cheap crunch amp ($100) and the polk audio db1212 ($200 - 360w RMS) Here are some pictures. The sub is a 12w3v3-4 ($250) Amp is rockford fosgate punch P500-2 ($300) Box was custom made I think ($50) Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Edited October 24, 2010 by casemods Quote i suck men dry...email me for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetSlappah Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 i dont think its worth it the amp alone is too expensive imo.

casemods Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 well its a local audio shop, they always try to rip ppl off at least around my area. I figured that because it was a car audio specialty shop that they would know more about the stuff... So what should I do? At the end, they told me my head unit was the problem because it didn't have a sub control or something... They said to come back tomorrow to get a new head unit (they were closing) Quote i suck men dry...email me for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 could be a wiring issue. thats pretty fucked up that you cant return anything. where did you get it from? JL and RF are both expensive brands. and you dont really get what you pay for with them. Quote If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude.

JL and RF are both expensive brands. and you dont really get what you pay for with them. It's called "car audio express" in san jose. There used to be a skate shop there a few years ago or so. I was looking up the amp and some site said it's only 125w RMS? Quote i suck men dry...email me for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wastehog Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 A much better set up could be had for the money. You're running a just looks sub and an overpriced amp.. never trust local shops. They always rip people off.. If you're happy keep it but if he told me I couldn't demo anything or get my money back, I'd have walked out. Plus they should have stayed open just for you, to get a new head unit but they're too greedy and unwilling to help. That's what it sounds like to me.
