Default Getting my new subs tomorrow

Getting my subs tomorrow and installing on Friday my next day off work. I am buying Rockford Fosgate Punch 2 10 inch subs and getting an Alpine 400 watt mono amp and of course the box. Getting all this including 4 gauge amp kit for 300.00, retails for like 550.

What a terrible deal.

Congrats on throwing your money away.

I hope it was worth it.

Please explain your reasoning behind this statement.

http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/prod...model=MRP-M450im guessing its that amp, put that in for a customer a while back, that baby melted within 3 weeks. supposedly alpine had a recall or something with the mosfet not engaging until near fatal temps. they did however replace the amp and gave a full refund (shop and customer)

Wow, that blows.

Good thing for the refund though, that's pretty cool of them.

Be even cooler if they would run better quality control tests before shipping something out.

I should but I dont have the desire too. And were well aware of what type of company would become if someone as simple and strait forward as myself started an audio company.

Obviously not, I would be in control, I would have nothing to bitch about.

Not so much. But good try.

I've got to agree with him, make your own company. It'd pwn. I'd buy all my stuff from you. >.>

That's the incredibly sad and depressing truth.
