Good deal? Ok system?

ok first car, first system, I'm 16. I've got a 1995 Eclipse GST that had stock premium audio. I now have:

-Aiwa CDC-Z137 head unit - with Aux input and 1 set of pre-outs

-Two 3-way Rockford Fosgate 6X9 rear speakers powered by:

-"Dual" 340 watt max (60wX2 RMS @ 4ohms).

-15" Single Voice Coil Rockford Fosgate sub powered by:

-"Concept" CC-452 - 150Watts x1 RMS @ 4ohms

I just bought the Sub/Box and Concept amp (already mounted to box) used from a friend for $170. Is that a good deal? The amp seems pretty decent, I'm yet to find another amp for under $250 that puts out more then 150 watts RMS (looking at 800watt and 700 watt "max" amps all do 150 RMS). This amp alone is selling for $125 online. The sub and box are also in very great shape and sound good. Did I get ripped?

Also, how is the overall system so far. I'm going to be replacing the stock front door speakers also probably with Rockfords, for an all-around rockford system. Anything you guys can reccomend to add? I need somthing to make money for

Um, yeah you probably lost quite a few bucks, there are quite a few amps that put out well over 150 watts for under 250. There are even quite a few in the 600 rms range (max doesn't mean anything).

I paid $170 for the Box Sub and Amp.

Im well aware that you paid a whole lot of money for something that is worth about 50,

edit: sorry, didn't see you got the sub too, maybe all that is worth about 90
