here's the problem...
do i go with a second hand
audison lrx 1.400 ($500)
soundstream sma1-700D (michaelangelo) ($450)
alpine mrd-m650 ($420)
or a brand new soundstream sma1-700D ($490)
decisions, decisions.
thats why i need u people. at the moment, i'm sorta leaning towards the audison. but the new ss comes with warranty....
I'd chose the audison. I'm using the VRx which I got second hand loaded down to 2ohms, sounds good, is exceptionally grunty for driving a sub, and sounds fantastic doing it. Had no troubles with it and it gets run every day for at least half an hour or so. Weekdays I think it gets run for about an hour to two a day. I imagine that the LRx would be similar.
