the best way to get the BEST deal is to buy used amp/subs... make sure they they are in good condition. i just bought an amp and a really nice set of subs for 200$... which i checked and brand new they were like 350+450 $USD .. i saved alot. i made sure they were in good condition, and i kept the sellers info in case they were bad for some reason. but i couldnt have gotten better with 500$ buying brand new... let alone 200
