These got a lot of flak for powered subwoofers, but from personal use over almost 2 years, this thing is perfect entry level sub for someone who just wants a no-hassle install without needing to worry about a separate amp. Plenty loud, never over-driven, and always crossed-over in the 80-85Hz region.

Functionality: 10/10

Cosmetic: 6/10

Runs perfectly, but has seen better days in terms of looks. A bit dusty and does have a few very minor scuffs on the chassis - nothing to affect function at all. The only thing I could find wrong with it: the side panel hiding the wiring connections snaps on to the sub using 8 plastic snap pieces/clips - of these 3 have broken. This doesn't impact how secure the side panel is - stays on there just fine. See pictures.

Price:

$230 OBO shipped. A bit on the high side, but this thing is heavy, and shipping is pricey.

$180 OBO for local pickup.

Shipping and Miscellaneous Item Information:

Got it new and have been the only owner, running it for a bit over a year in my old car. Got rid of the car and upgrading to something with a little more power for my next build, so no reason to hold on to it.

Can also include an amplifier power kit (power/ground/fuse/turn on lead - no RCA) for an extra $10 if you want.

Local obviously easier/faster/preferred. Otherwise will ship with USPS. Payment through PayPal Gift STRONGLY preferred unless local, then cash of course.

If it's in a mall parking lot, you might be screwed. You'll need a battery charger that is capable of deep cycle batteries and can do a slow charge at 2 amperes or less. You might be able to push it to a Sears Auto and see if they can trickle charge it for you. Most malls have a Sears and most Sears have a Sears Auto. Don't let yourself get into a situation where you might kill the battery and you won't have to worry about it. I killed mine over the winter because I didn't start my car all winter long. I'm guessing my alarm drained the battery. I usually start it up every couple of weeks in the winter to make sure the battery doesn't die on me, but last winter I got lazy and didn't start it at all for about 2 months. Well, the alarm unlocked my doors, the interior lights came on, but there wasn't enough power to crank the engine. I used my charger in the conventional setting at 75 amp quick charge to jump the car. That was the end of that battery. Back to your FS thread though. Sorry to thread jack that.

I was thinking about picking up a Shiva X2 for the Jeep too, when they are back in stock this summer. That's one bad sub. I don't have an Optima D35, but I do have a D34/78. It's bigger than the D35, the terminals are flipped around (well, actually the D35 is backwards, the other batteries are normal), it's got side posts, but it's going into my Caprice to replace my D34/78 that decided to cook one of it's cells. Word of advice, if you get one of them, DO NOT jump start that battery if it should die. Trickle charge it every time it needs a charge. You'll cook it otherwise. Take my failure and experience it ojunly vicariously.

I jumped my Deka three times this winter because it died and I had no idea about it, so now it rests at 12.3 and pisses me off..

but GLWS OP.

Almost sold this locally last night, but no dice. Back up top! Make me some offers, kind of want it gone at this point.

If someone would buy my SA8's I would def consider this.

I always wanted to try one of these, but I wanted the bigger one. I also considered picking up the Tymphany LATs when they were on closeout at PE. I wish I did because I think they had them for like $20 (obviously no enclosure or built in amp) but I had no idea how to mount the dang thing haha!

seems the 7" are really rare, haven't seen one second market in like, ever. But haven't been actively looking so could be off. Anyway, think about it! Would be willing to come down on the price some (or a bit, if you pay actual shipping)

what do you mean by alot of "Flak"? Also are you still selling this?

Not to get off topic, I saw one on eBay a few months ago for over $400 shipped. The seller claimed it was still new, never used. I almost jumped on it...almost.

 

[gnesterenko 10+ year member]

BIGHAM, yes this is still for sale. All reasonable offers entertained.
