Title: RNS 510
Post by: Smudgster on June 17, 2009, 07:46:28 pm

Hi All,

I am thinking of selling my RNS 510 as I am just finished my sound install and it just dont cut the mustard. What should I replace it with??

And the most important question is - What do you think its worth?? Its mint condition, not sure what version or maps as I cant access the hidden menu for some reason

Thanks
Smudge

in what way is it not cutting the mustard? What does your install consist of? Have you thought about a jl cleansweep? I would have thought you unit to be worth more than 700 but then again i don't know what they are new now.

Rns 510's are fetching on ebay from £550 to £700 max, so look to recoop at least £625 in good condition for unit only, or if you sell with map disc etc, then you should get more.
