HU - $300 (new, retail)

Front comps - $140 (used, eBay)

Rear comps - $155 (used, eBay)

Comp amp - $98.75 (used, eBay)

Sub amp - $125 (used, eBay)

eBay prices include shipping...to me it's part of the total cost *shrug*

___________________________________________________

So, all told, just shy of $1300 for all the actual gear plus countless hours of sweat and generous amounts of cursing during the various stages of installation (no clue what that might be worth...)
