The ebay one is from an authorized kicker dealer and comes with a 90 warranty. Etronics isnt an authorized dealer but offers an "in house" 30 warranty. The price difference is only around 30 bucks, so I'm kind of leaning towards the new one... Then again, the used one does carry a better warranty... :help:
BRAND NEW
$149.99 plus $16.12 Shipping new from etronics... (not an authorized dealer but has a 30 day warranty)

FACTORY REFURBISHED
$117.50 Plus $20.00 Shipping Renewed by kicker and they are an authorized dealer and carries a 90 day warranty.

I got my Kicker 1200.1 from Etronics. No problem at all.
When my amp stopped working I emailed Etronics and they offered to fix my amp after the initial 90 days, but I would pay the cost of shipping it to them.
I emailed Kicker and they were more than happy to fix it for me. Kicker charges $35 for a diagnostic fee plus the amount of parts needed to get it working again. For some reason they only charged me the $35 and didn't charge me for the parts. Pretty good deal if you ask me.
The idiot Kicker dealer in my town was pretty pissed off.

Thanks guys.
I decided that its worth the extra 30 bucks to get it new. I'm going to order it tomorrow. If everything goes well I'm going to order a new Kicker KX600.1 from them as well. Depending on the weather, I might start fiberglassing a new set of door panels... Right now the money is flowing in pretty good, if it continues I should have the system complete around spring. :woohoo:

er if i can stop you, you might want to order if from sounddomain.com
i ordered my kicker kx 1200.1 from them...it was 800$ i think original. i did their 105% lowest price match and i used etronics.com as the lower price and they matched it. I ended up paying 488$ because of tax (i live in WA, where cardomain.com is) and shipping.
plus cardomain/sounddomain.com is authorized, and they have really good customer service.
just a thought.
