    okay well il take your guys advice on not buying the sub.
    so the new one im looking at is a 20inch super old school sub in a very nice box. i dont know the spects on it like i dont know the rms or anything cause id have 2 buy it first or ask him if i can take the sub out and look at the cone.
    iv never heard a 20 do they sound good?
    and considering its a 20inch sub and not knowing the spects what would be good amp for it?

    hmmmm never heard of an old school 20'' sub. i know clarion had a 32'' way back in the day.

    i have an IA 21, but those came out a year or two ago. maybe more.

    how old is old? you dont want to buy an old sub only to have it crap out on you later due to its age.

    i say buy a decent new sub for the money you have. 2 new 10's or 12's in a properly built enclosure can surprise you.

    a friend of mine just built a 4th order bandpass for 2 10's that cost him 50 each. 4 cubes sealed into a 10 cube ported section. it moves crazy air and sounds great on music too. not a big numbers enclosure by any means, but it was meant to sound great not put up crazy spl numbers.

    honestly i have no idea and i really dont know how to tell if a sub is still in good condition like how do you know if the voice coils are still good if you cant test it out ?
