Old sub used vs new inexpensive

[Rebith75]

Hello, on a budget, looking at the Dayton SUB-1200 vs a used old M&K V75 mk2

General question is new value sub (SUB-1200) or older used huge quality at the time sub

Thank you!

I’d go with the M&K.

So you wouldn't be concerned with the M&K going bad, considering it was from around 2003. If not pushed the amp/etc should be okay long term right?

Good-quality subs are pretty reliable. The main issue would be the surround giving up, if it’s the foam type. If it’s rubber, then there shouldn’t be any problem.
