Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 4528 Registered: Jul-06 | Well that's a decent price so...you'll have to see for yourself.Even if they aren't what you're looking for it's still not a huge loss. |
New member Username: SlaindreamsPost Number: 3 Registered: Aug-07 | Actually i dont have anything yet.. ( sorta new to systems ) but a friend was offering his Rockford Fosgate Punch P325.2 so thats probably what i would use.Im looking for SQ more than SPL but some SPL would be nice.. |
