A 3kWRMS amp for $223? Does that even sound remotely legit to you? Lanzar? I would pass.

 

haha no but i would set it to 4ohms. But the reason I asked is because I found a site that made a review for the top ten amps that were the best for the price and that was in it

 

Sounds kind of like a 500 HP car advertised for $10K.

 

I'd pass on it as well.

 

Alright so I guess my best bet is to keep my eye out for the alpine pdx 1.1000. Im anxious to get it set up and someone is selling a jl 500/1 for $225 in my area but Im gonna be patient and keep searchin for a 1000 watt

 

I wouldn't wait just for the PDX, it's a great amp but there are others. 225 for the 500/1 seems like a good deal, but it all depends on whether you are wanting more power or not. try listening to a similar setup

 

That would help a bunch, but i dont know anyone with a similar set up. thats my whole problem. I have nothing to base my decision off of, but guessing what ill be happy with. This is my very first system btw

 

Well i just about finished the installation and then the sub and box slipped out of my hands from about a foot high and i broke the sub

 

wtf??? for real??? damn man... that really sucks... whats broken on the sub??.. have you tested to see if it works still??.. if its new, see if you can get it warrantied... i know some image dynamic places are good about that.. kind of like that "no matter what happens to it" warranty.. but i wouldnt tell'm you dropped it lol

 

Regardless of whether or not it is covered under warranty, you can send it to them to get reconed.

 

You can even get a field service kit to recone an IDMAX yourself. IIRC, takes about 15 minutes.

What exactly did you "break"?

 

I bought it used from Kurtis ^. Right after I dropped it the cone was sucked in. I unscrewed it from the 4080 box and it let out. But now the cone is just stuck, it doesn't budge when I touch it. It's completely stiff. I tried it in my friends car. Doesn't work at all.

 

Hmmm, interesting. Not sure how that would happen by being dropped, but I've never dropped a sub so I don't really know. I remember using a POS Visonik amp that I bought on eBay once and it cooked the coil sending it AC current or something. Speaker would extend but not play music and it ended up frying the sub. I'd say the coil is out of place or is somehow stuck in the pole vent. It will require a recone and ID can still handle that.

 

I called id and they said the motor is fvcked up so Im paying $190 to get a new motor

 

I would strongly recommend you test the Alpine amp to ensure proper operation. Also double check all your connections. Something must have gone seriously wrong to cause the motor to seize. I'm sure the sub was in perfect working order so I would suspect the installation, configuration, or settings. Better safe than sorry.
