Precision BK1300.1 for X/Icon?

[DieseLife 1]

Gonna buy a single 10" or 12" X or Icon, which ever pops up in the classifieds first. Will be in a .8-9 cuft fiberglass box sealed, polyfilled 1-2lb iirc. This is an under seat setup for a 4 door dodge pickup.

I've seen the black ice has been proving a decent amp for the money. Just want to get any last opinions or reasons to not get it and go with something else. I don't want to spend more than $200-250 on an amp at the moment.

Thanks!

Forgot to mention it will be a D2 so I can run 1ohm load on the amp.

I've been running one for a while now, and I really like it for the price.

[ricksi30 923]

And they look nice too in my opinion.

Are you talking about a FI X or the sundown X? If its the sundown then I would get the icon. Sundown told me the X would be better in a ported box and it is not really designed for sealed boxes.

I think that he means I/X CON.

I can either pick up this amp or a local guy selling his Orion HCCA d2400 barely used for $200. Is the Orion a better option?

That's what I thought at first but then he said X or icon. Not sure lol just giving him the info if he is talking about the x from sundown

Thanks for the info so far guys, I realky do appreciate it.

How about this Orion d2400 hcca? Its that or the Precision

[ricksi30 923]

If it is in good condition it is a good amp.

[DieseLife 1]

Its barely used. Ill try pick up this orion then, if it falls thru ill get the precision

[ricksi30 923]

200 is kind of high for used though.

[DieseLife 1]

He was going to do $150 actually. I'm not sure if I want to buy used or just go with a new Precision tho for a few bucks more

[jcarter1885 995]

Id rather go new, just avoids the hassle if any. Just a personal preference but as long as the Orion works then its a go.

[DieseLife 1]

I keep contemplating that myself

[nigel 148]

it's funny I've always been partial to buying new, but the last sub I had (OZ Audio Matrix Elite 12) I bought used off of the internet from a guy in another country, and used it with no issues for 7 years.  I guess it's buyer beware, as you can get a good deal, but you can get screwed too.  If the Orion looks in good condition and doesn't appear to be tampered with then might be a good deal for ya...

 

That being said, I'm running a PPI Sedona series amp, and love it.

I can get the black ice 1300 new to my door for $185. I'm going to go new because I know it would be just my luck to buy one used and have it die shortly after. Lol

A lot of times I suggest shopping for used gear but in your situation, between those two I'd get the ppi.

Plus that PPI looks slick!!
