found this for 116 bucks brand new

Rockford Fosgate Prime R500-1 Amplifier

Rockford Fosgate amplification at an unbelievable value, the R500-1 mono amplifier pumps out 500 watts into a 2-ohm load, perfect for a pair of 10" or 12" woofers




for a pair???

Good deal, but what website is this through? And no, not only a pair, it will work fine with your sub. Let me know what website though, some are scam artists even though they look legit.

ah i c... so theres no holes or rips right now but whoever you talked to said it looked fatigued.

Just fyi if it starts becoming a problem and you see a small rip you can put silicone on the inside (for cosmetic reasons, you can put it on the outside instead if you want) as long as its a small portion. Its not perfect but it will hold up well over time. Just make sure if you do do it on the inside you want to let the sub dry outside of the box for at least 24 hours

yea sounds like they want to get you to buy another sub or get a recone.....if you don't see any visual deterioration don't worry about it....if it ain't broke don't fix it.

try facing the sub backwards... it might just be the way it is. some music is just prone to that
