my first setup(opinions please!)

[gonoles92 10+ year member]

hey guys, so just wanted to tell you about my setup (i'm a college student and first time car owner) to see what you all think. I'm pretty broke so I think I definitely got the best value for my money. I put in a JVC KDHDR60 head unit, pair of Infinity 6032si's in the front doors, RE Audio DTS 500.4 500 watt 4 channel amp and Rockford Fosgate P1S412 Punch series subwoofer. Keep in mind that I only paid $325 for the whole setup including the amp installation kit/cables. I appreciate everyone's opinions and would love to know if 1) I got a good value for what I paid and 2) if this will produce pretty good sound for a basic system for a newbie.

lol greattttt... It's going in a sealed 1.3 cu/ft box. I chose this sub due to the fact that the amp puts out 160 watts RMS bridged and the sub is 150RMS so i figured it's better giving a sub it's full power than going with something more expensive/higher end and not powering it enough (can't afford 2 amps)
