Are these any good?

I recently got a car from a friend for free and it came with a system but I am not sure on how great the stuff is, I am putting my old system in there and taking this out but I wanted to know what kind of quality this stuff was.
So its 2 Cerwin Vega 10" subs and an Ample 2 channel amp, any ideas? it sounded decent in the car but wasn't set up very well so I am wondering what kind of potential it has. Thanks , Jon

I had an Ample Audio amplifier on my JL audio 12's a long time ago. Pretty close to true wattage. Paid around 230.00 for a 300 watt amp from them. Keep it. Cerwin Vega is an ok sub also. It can produce some ok bass for the entry level bass head person. Keep the stuff if you swap the system. Or you could sell it to me , I will gladly buy it from you. Just name a price. My girlfriend needs a system.

Which cerwin vega subs are they? Vega series etc. If they have the two roll surrounds then they are decent subs.

Im not sure , there is 2 of them in a box with an ample amp mounted on the back. They sound really good, not overly loud but really clean. It's to 10's and they are black rubber sourounds and the cone has to red CV logo on them.

Oh so you're selling them then? I thought you were just asking if they were decent or not.

I originally was trying to get info on them but then I got a possible offer and well I know I don't need the equip but I do need cash in a bad way, so I guess this thread has veared off topic. Well pics are up tell me what you guys think.
BTW: amp specs are 90w per chanel or 180 bridged.(2 ch)
