Yeah, I was gonna mention the wiring. I spent $120 on mine, cuz I didn't want that to be a weak point in a decent system. And while we're at it, is your $400 budget before or after tax?
and I do kinda have to agree with saving until you can get better stuff - that's what I did, I spent $1000 on my whole system including speakers, headunit, amp and subs. Now, it's hardly top of the line, but it's still really nice. You'll probably be happier, but some people will tell you that they're still happy with the cheap stuff - it's your money, your decision. Depends on how much of a priority it is for ya.
