What should I pay for these subs?


Recommended Posts

A kid in my area is looking to sell them and told me to name a fair price. I want to give him an actual fair price. They are the Peavey 118 subs from the early 90s. They're not very powerful ... but in your opinion, what should I offer him?

For the specs. They're supposedly in really good condition.

15 year old subs....$100 each.

 

 

Yep.

Buying them that old, there is a good chance that the drivers may need to be repaired or replaced.

 

I paid $200 for a pair of EV subs that ended up needing to have the drivers either replaced or repaired. Water damage inside one of the drivers. The other one was in good shape.

 

I ordered 2 of Mark's speakers yesterday (audiopile.net).

 

All together I'll have less than $500 for a pair of decent subs.

I am going to sell the old ones for $100 if I can get it.

EV ??????, I forget the model number.

I will use these with my B52 active 18's and have 4 18's now.

Each driver will recieve 600 watts.

Should be plenty of low-end.

Interesting. I have 2 EV 1810 subs that I bought for $100 each last spring. Wonder if they could use soem new drivers.

 

Other than thinking "hmmm, they don't thump much", how can you test for poor driver performance?
