*EDIT - One now sold, looking for £175 + postage for the other one! *
EDIT - Price reduced to £150
EDIT - Now open to offers because it's just sitting in the garage not being used!
I originally bought these speakers about 4 years ago to go in the back of my corsa, i had all the wiring, the Optima Yellowtop battery, 120 amp fuse, 2300w RMS audiobahn amp, and i had JUST finished building the install in the car before I crashed it :S (Pics in my garage  )
After the crash, the corsa was written off, i bought a new one and it was about a year in the making and the stereo never became a part of the new car. The speakers have been kept in the shed ever since then, they have been tested literally once with an old 500w RMS amp that i had, so have not even been run in yet. Due to being stored in the shed for a few years they could do with a clean, however mechanically these subfoofers are brand new, and as i said, not even been run in yet (probably 2 minututes of usage at nowhere NEAR full volume!)
They originally cost me about £520 plus £150 shipping (RRP is $750 each) and import duty for importing them from America - bearing in mind they weigh almost 3 stone each (40lbs), and are capable of SPL levels of well in excess of 140dBs from a single sub, and i have two for sale here!
One review can be found here....
http://www.carsound.com/articles/publish/article_190.shtml
The pictures of the actual speakers for sale are here, as i said they could do with a bit of a clean but mechanically are brand new, and should polish up nicely. Im having a massive clearout at the moment and decided that everything must go!
(beer can for size comparison!)
Im looking for £350 ono for the pair, bearing in mind they cost me £670 and ive never even heard them running properly. (PS if you do get these set up in an install, i expect an in-car demo at the next show!!!)
If there is no interest on here then they will be going up on ebay, but id much prefer to sell them on here if possible!

These will make you deaf if given 500W RMS each.
I know for a fact there rated 1000w RMS. No doubt will take more t.b.h.

Postage could be arrange. In fact I may even be driving to Yorkshire this weekend to buy that skyline, so could even bring them up your way for a little bit of petrol money, depending how far away you are from where I am buying the car from.

to be honest one of these speakers would probably be enough, i had spent about £300 on sound deadening the car, had the 2nd battery, split charge system, 300 amp fuse, 2300w RMS amp etc. As much as id love to sell two together, I really do think that one would be enough (like the review says, one sub on its own reacher 143dB!)
