Budget limit...

I only have about 300-500 to drop on upgrade system. I got plenty of bass in the front but it distorts once i really turn it up. I have the infinity speakers/120w subs that came with the car. Maybe I should just dynamat and get a mono amp and 2 subs? That way i can boost my bass. Which is what I really want, more bass.

Find the products that you want and search online for the best prices. That is what I have been doing and I have found some great deals.

And what does that have to do with this discussion? If you want to compare, I am sure there are plenty more people who have spent even more than you. However, that is not what this topic is about.

Try places like sonicelectronix.com, thezeb.com, millionbuy.com, and audioallies.com.

I have purchased items from thezeb.com and millionbuy.com. The customer service with millionbuy.com is not all that great, but the seem to have good prices. Thezeb.com prices are a little bit more, but there customer service is better.

The D class mtx amp is good, that 4500 sub is an entry level sub so you wont get a ton of bass out of it.

For 300-500 here is what I would go with to get the most bang for your buck....

one mtx 10" T5510-04 sub-129.99
10" Slot ported box made by MTX-119.99
one Audiobahn A4002T-179.99

That mtx sub is best run in a slot ported box. With the amp bridged at 4 ohm mono, it will should sound pretty good.
