You could have gotten these off of eBay for $73.00, brand new.

Thanks, i'm taking out the sub and amp, the sound quality is not worth $700. I'll leave the new speakers and put the stock sub back in. There was not that much of an improvement. I guess I really need an inclosed box to get better bass response?

yes every sub is designed to perform in a specific type and size of enclosure. If the wrong size or type of box is used, the sound quality and/or loudness will be less than adequate. (spelling??)
