Its with a one month warranty. Probably a grey market piece.

the webpage mentions RMS power as 300W and PMPO as 600W. So what is the 500W in title of the product?
Cant imagine what power you would actually end up with.

The fact that it's being sold online means that it cannot be grey!! It may however, not be a great sub - that's a different issue. But yes, even I would be interested in feedback.

I'm not sure about Rediff, but you definitely get grey market stuff on Ebay. I've bought a grey market phone from there once myself. Also seen listings of i-phones, which cant be legit, as well as grey market cameras and ipods.

rediff also has grey market stuffs. it even has duplicates and china made items same like e-bay

I guess you can get grey market stuff on rediff and even indiatimes. I was looking out for a video camera a year before and I had gone through ebay/rediff/indiatimes and local grey market shops and the prices were similar.
Its not rediff/indiatimes whos selling; there are sellers here too as there are in ebay.

Dont find many good car audio products in any of these e-stores. Well, JBL sells a "few" of its products at a Rediff store.

The price is of grey market. And this model is long discontinued. I would suggest to get JBL instead or if budget permits GZ.

i would suggest you to stay away from this deal as i myself had bough this sub in 2001 when it was new in the market and that time i had got it for rs.2650/- grey from Milan subway.

As LBM said try getting a JBL it will be much much better

EDIT:JBL Car Speakers + Subwoofer - GT412 -12INCH gifts in india at rediff shopping
Hardly Rs.500 difference
