Default thinking about a trade...what do you think?

My friend and I are thinking about trading. I'm trading him my Super Nitro Rally (.15 ss engine, racing clutch, and lightweight flywheel) plus a 50 or 75 watt sub woofer for his 200 watt sub. Should I got for it?

If your not using the car GO HEAD! I just think you need that big of sub in your room, maybe in a car. But unless you have parties all the time and you want your walls to vibrate theres no point.

Default To Much?

To much for a room?
I doubt that, depends on what kind it is and its new value.

I have a 1000 Watt sub in my living room and its doing o.k, I could have a little more but its doing the job for now.
Something like an SVS sub would be the ultimate.


I say check the value of the sub and compare, 200 watts is not much at all.

I'll check with my friend and get back to you guys. I know he said he paid somewhere between 200 and 250 for the sub from radio shack.

Why not? I've heard the sub and it hits pretty nice. Maybe I wont, I'm not sure.

You seem pretty intent on getting the sub so I will tell you what you want to hear: TRADE!

Although in my opinion, Radio Shack subs are definitely not the way to go and 200watts is pretty darn weak even for a car!

I have heard nothing but negatives about radi shack subs, and 200 watts is NOTHING. 500-700 watt on ebay are cheaper than 200!

I say sell the car in your area and buy some nice subs

I have never bought audio at RS and never would, they sell garbage. Your nitro car is worth 250-300 if its any good at all, you can buy a JL AUDIO SW6 for that! If you need help figuring this one out-you do need help deciding. Infinity,JL audio, MB Quart, ADS,Velodyne, ETC.=GOOD. Radio Shack=wouldnt take for free. Understand? Good boy. Now sit.

No other place do you get what you pay for than audio equiptment. Even good quality electronics are 1/2 price used. Radio shack used should be free, and then used as a ash tray holder.....in the garage......for the roaches. Dont even waste your time even thinking about it. Like was said earlier, if you dont want the car, sell it for what its worth. That 200 watt sub/amp is worth 50$ MAX. Whats your car worth?
