I am thinking about buying a used amp, sub and box. Wondering if it's a good deal.

The speaker is a 12 inch rockford fosgate power t1, installed in a box built to what the sellers claims to be rockford specs. The amp is a rockford mono p6001bd, 300 watts 4 ohms, 600 wats 2ohms. He is asking $300 for eveything. Is this a good deal? He says eveything is hooked up in his car so i could hear how it sounds with his set up. I dont know much about stereo equipment so hopefully some of you guys can help me out. Thanks!

i think even in excellent condition that might be a LITTLE steep, offer him less.

Well the fact that he is going to let you hear it before you buy it makes me believe for one he's not a scammer so thats a good start , as for the price I don't know anything about Systems so yes good deal haha

$300 is a lot cheaper than what you would give for the exact setup new. I say do it. haggle a little just to save yourself some money but $300 for what he has is a good deal. I used to sell Rockford and those power series woofers and amps are not at all cheap. Retail is about $1 per watt on the amp alone, we built single boxes for about $150-$200, and if I remember correctly the T1 12 was about $300 alone.

Meh its kind of a deal, because a new T1 is gonna run you about $240, then the amp will run you about $200 (old discontinued). And a box will cost depending on if you make it or buy it. But me personally I would not buy that setup, specifically because of the amp, that sub can handle way more and I tend to wanna at least power my subs to the rms rating in which that sub has an rms of 800 and that amp rms @ 2 ohms is 600 watts. Offer him $200 for everything, like I said the only real thing of value that he is offering is the sub.

Thanks for the feedback guys!! I think this is an older T1, judging by the pics...

I believe the sub is rated at 600 max RMS at 2 ohms. The guy doesnt want to budge, and says he wont sell for less than $300. I think I'll check it out later today. Would be interesting to hear the sound. He has it installed in an accord so putting the system in my truck should sound a hella of a lot better.

Keep in mind that Rockford Fosgate is one of few companies that UNDER-rate their amps. In other words 600watts RMS = approx. 800-850 watts true rms output at 2 ohms. The sub is 800watts RMS so its a perfect amp for the sub.

The Power 500.1bd in my Burb had an initial test sheet said it made 724watts RMS at 1 ohm. It runs the 2 Diamond D3 10's (400watts RMS each) perfectly

Make him cover that box if he wants $300, otherwise I would be happy to pay 200-250 for it.

that box looks legit as F..K.
i have two of the subs and i like them enough.

Box appears to be built right, just looks better with some carpet or vinyl.
