My brothers friend might be selling that sub because they blew his amp trying to fix the cooling fan in it. My brother ended up trading one of his cars for a truck and it had 2 JL W3's in it so they put that in the car instead. I will give him a call and see what he wants for it. The Memphis subs are really good quality but they are expensive this is their 1000W RMS sub and it is $350:

It is definitely a good idea to go to different shops and see what they say and listen to what they have set up. They can tweak it well but you could probably do the same by yourself it just takes a lot of time. If you want to go with something that has a better reputation for subs than go with Alpine, Kicker, Infinity or something else but that pioneer sub might be good for what you want. The premier series pioneer stuff is a lot better than the garbage they sell at Wal Mart or Best Buy though. I have heard nothing but good things from Sonic and their customer service but I bought my stuff on ebay because I got it cheaper and I wasn't worried about a warranty.

His friend said $125 at the lowest and this thing barley got used so it is in perfect condition and you wouldn't have to pay shipping. But if you would rather get it online sonic has an open box one for $110 but im not sure on the shipping since it weights like 25 pounds:

ya, I'll do that. $125 is cool. Plus, no shipping. You said that it's the same exact series/model? Do you think I'd really need the warranty, tho? Or should I just get it from his friend? Cuz it's like:
a) pay the shipping & get the short warranty
b) get it from your bro's friend w/o paying shipping.

The only difference is that it is dual 2ohm voice coils so you can wire it at 1ohm or 2ohms but if you get an amp that is 1 ohm stable it is better since you can get more power from it. If you want the warranty then buy it online though but im not sure what it covers and how much it will be to ship it and if it blows you might have to pay for shipping it back. Just let me know what you want to do and I can pm you the info if you want it im sure he can hook it up to his JL amp to show you that it works too.
update: I just got the sub a couple days ago...
He gave me the 1 sub in a dual box... lol. so, idono if I'm gonna keep it in case I get another sub or wut. It looks kinda homemade and when Chree looked @ it, he said that the two chambers weren't sealed off. So, I'm probably gonna need a new box. But, what I'm concerned about right now is getting the right amp to power it... If I do get another sub, it'll be the same one probably, so would my best bet be to get two seperate amps, or run them both thru the same one?
If you have the electrical (big 3, new batteries (deep cycle), 1/0 or 4/0g power wire and ground wire, and a H/O alternator) to run two powerful amps then
by all means get 2 amps..
if not just run 1 amp that does rated power.
I installed 2 of those Premier 3001D4 on 1 SAE-1000D amp they wanged just fine.. just make sure you have a good enclosure built.
I always stress good a electrical because if you plan on upgrading to more powerful amps / subwoofers its always good to know your electrical can handle it....
by all means get 2 amps..
