Id personally go the 2000 commi acclaim for sure man considering its done 40k less than the other commi but then again mines done 260k and it runs like a dream haha

Keep looking man dont jump at the first thing you see you'll probs find a bargain

^ as what he said, i always bought first one i looked at, this time i looked at like 5, and i definitely thought it was worth it.

Main thing you should do, is look before you have the money. That way you can't buy it.

Neither! Don't get the VT with the ugly ass dude. You could get a good VS and have enough for good sound system That's my opinion anyway, do what you want.

This is true. You can get better AKA lower k's VS with that money or higher k's VT. As for the VT back end, if ya don;t liek it, get garnish painted for $100 and get new lights $200 = $300 looks better than the VX. lol
