Am i being ripped off?

Hey, this is my first post here. I was just at car toys asking about a new speaker system. They gave me some prices and I just wanted to make sure they are not ripping me off. Here are the prices:

1 Focal 4 speaker set (2 big 2 little ones) $200
2 10' Alpine subs $50 a peice = $100
1 Custom sealed box $400
1 amp $300
Install $350

It all seems to be a little pricy, is it just me or are these real prices?

Steve

For $1350 you could do much better or much worse depending how much time you spend learning about products and cost.

It is over priced based on what you are getting.

sounds about like the average prices but would like to know models before giving final judgment

Thanks for your help, I told them that it seemed a little high and they said they will make me a deal. Hopefully this will work out or Ill just put new rims on and go for looks.
