Default Help a dummy out...MTX powered or not powered?

I know absolutely zero about car audio and I bought a car with this Thunderform sub. I pulled it out last night and I don't know how to tell if it is the powered model or the unpowered model. Can anyone help? Thanks!

POWERED!!!

unpowered = subwoofer and a box
powered = subwoofer, box, and amplifier

Send it to me, I will take it. It is weighing down your car too much.

I will send it for a nominal fee. Actually I probably will end up selling it but I'm not sure yet. BTW, what do these things sell for used? Looks like Crutchfield has them for 549 new.

Thanks guys for the responses.

500 is rediculously overpriced

if you knew how to shop you could do a much better stealth box with sub and more power ful amp for 300 dollars and it would sound better

That's the way Crutchfield always has been. Those subs are alright, but you can get twice as much for the Buck.
