I don't remember. I got this setup 5 1/2 years ago. The amp, sub, box, door speakers, and labor was 1K.

I'd estimate about $200-250 at that time.

It was a lot of money, but at the time I didn't know how to do anything myself. I know better now

All the stuff I got was brand new at the time, so they were more expensive.

It wasn't fun getting the bill

I looked at the sub on dc sound lab but they show no prices, i havent heard of either brand before, is that a good thing? Will a 480 watt amp be much better then the 300 i have now?

dc makes great subs, call or email them for prices. and the mbquart amp should power ur speakers and the sub perfectly, look the amp up on ebay.

RMS power @ 4 Ohms: 80W x 4
RMS power @ 2 Ohms: 160W x 4
RMS power @ 4 Ohms bridged: 320W x 2

What does this mean? How does it run on 2 ohm or 4? Thanks for all your help and the quick responses, im a noob when it comes to subs and amps.
