It's not a terrible deal TC but you can get just as good for new...

Amplifier:

Wiring(You don't need 0 gauge for 1500W, 4 gauge is more than enough the amplifier actually won't even accept 0 gauge.):

$350 for a louder and better, brand new system... I'd go that route.

I mean what would make you say that? Sure the HDS215 only has a 2.5" coil but it'll take close to what the T0 will take in terms of power. You're also buying a used setup, the one I posted was brand new. You could always spend the extra $50 and get the HDS312 which I know will hit harder than that T0.

i think he ended up buying the used stuff. sent me a pm yesterday saying he got a line out converter but the subwoofer isn't hitting hard and started smoking.

Buddy has a lifetime warranty on his rockford T0 gonnan let him take it to the car audio shop and get me a brand new one for free lol. If it doesn't fall through I will most likely get a HDS312

Ah, this is why I'm always skeptical about "used" car audio... People generally don't know how to run them properly and if something is wrong they rarely can tell what it's. I only buy used products off the companies themselves (DC, Sundown etc.) or I buy through a very educated/known competitor.
