My neighbor(he knows nothing about car audio)has 2 kicker L7 12" 750RMS D4 and he has been needing amp. So today he gets off work early and stops by a pawnshop to see if they had some amps. Guess what he got a IA20.1 for $200then goes to a CA shop to get it hook and aparently the shop doesn't know how to wire subs. They have the subs wire to 4ohm not 1ohm(but I didn't tell him that)so the subs are WAY under power but he thinks its bangin. So I go get a Powerbass XA900D that I have lying around and hook it up at 1ohm and he thinks its amazing compared to the IA20.1
I just mite get a IA20.1 for a Powerbas XA900D and hell for $200 900RMS its not bad so I wouldn't feel like I ripped him off which you know it is.
okay, so if you had an ia 20.1 that you paid 200 for and someone who knew more than you traded you a powerbass xa900d for it you wouldnt feel like you got ripped off if later down the road you found out how much that amp was worth?
i would be careful if i were you. first off, anyone can look up the price of both of those amps online, and find their power ratings. he might get a little angry if he does that after you trade with him lol.
how about you just offer him 200 for the amp. you still make out awesome and you dont rip him the eff off. heck, even offer to sell him the powerbass. much better than straight up trading.
yeah give him the amp, wire it up to 1 ohm, hell like the power hell want it so you tell him, u want like 150 for it, and hell say aww man i shouldnt have bought that amp, and you say well ill help u out if u give me a deal on it, and get it for like 180, not really ripping off jus tgetting a better deal..
after thinking about it more, just play up the powerbass amp. sell him that amp for $350 and buy his amp for $150 and say he over paid for it originally. that way you really screw him. just hope he never find out.
How can you be so stupid? What if it had something unique about it like a scratch in a certain spot? Some people even mark their things in spots not visible on the top side. For example, I might put little markings on the bottom of an amplifier so I know it's mine if it ever goes missing, some people do little things like this and when the cops are called and you give them little bits of info like that it's not so hard to prove.
Also, there are these things that are called receipts and police reports. When a pawn shop gets busted holding or selling stolen goods I'm not sure on this law everywhere but they have to return it to the original purchaser that it was stolen from.
"What if it had something unique about it like a scratch in a certain spot"
I do that to my stuff.
"okay, so if you had an ia 20.1 that you paid 200 for and someone who knew more than you traded you a powerbass xa900d for it you wouldnt feel like you got ripped off if later down the road you found out how much that amp was worth?"
This happen to me when I first got into the CA game.(on some RF amps)
Somebody bought the ia20.1 for $400 then he comes over to my house to see if I will sell the amp I put in his ride the other day(aka Powerbass XA900D). So Im thinking Im not using it,or do I need the XA900D cause I have a SAZ-1500D so sure Ill sell it. He gave me $300 for the XA900D thats great since I paid $150,so $150 profit. So I hooked the XA900D back up for him and he is happy as hell.
Oh yeah my neighbor was saying the dude that bought the amp was saying the ia20.1 is a good old amp that needs to be fixed for max power and will cost $200-$250.(something like that)
But im happy.
