    For $175, that sounds like a good deal. Although Im not familiar with the MTX 4250D. But if its an MTX then its a damn fine amp.

    All I can say is that its only worth what someone will pay for it, unless its new in a box (cardboard, not plexiglass/wood box ):p Man, I'm making some worthless (or maybe not?) posts lately..

    Erik - I'd recommend that you check eBay for the going prices. That'll usually be the best indicator for you.

    Well considering the XLC's are 5 years old, they're probably worth $25 each now days. The amp, equally as old, might be worth $50. The box, well it probably was a prefab box with plexi to add "coolness factor" so it's value is negative $50. I figure you paid $175 for what should've gone for $50. Does this help?

    Well, seriously think about it. 5 year old subs even on eBay wouldn't get you $50. The amp might get you $75 if you're lucky and that box.... $25? I doubt even on eBay, parting it out or combined as a package, you could've got $175 for it all. This is car audio. People don't usually keep their stuff that long. Hell, most don't last that long thanks to Loudness buttons and retarded Rap basslines.

    okay, that's a big sub, but still, the vent is what, a half inch across? three quarters?
