Default How will this sound?

Trying to upgrade the sound in my C5 Vert and can get a deal on the following.

JL Audio 12w0
JL e1200 Amp
in Subthump Stealth Box with a stock Bose radio?

How much should I pay for amp and subwoofer/stealthbox?

Thanks,

USRobo

are they used or new?

if new, is the JL sub and amp being purchased from an authorized dealer?

I don't like the 12W0. It's the lowest of the low... I would get a 12W3, at the very least. The sub is about $160.00 or so.

The eseries amps are not all that bad, really. The amp is in the mid $200's.

I aree with Scott - Don't buy from suspect vendors... JL Audio will not warrantee it. I would suggest you go to Tweeter. They have great prices and good service.

Equipment is used from a forum member. 3 months old.

I want to increase my base but I want to make sure I am not under powered for such a large subwoofer.

uh, no. I guess you didn't read my post, then... the 12W0 is not a very nice sub.

You don't even mention prices on these items...
