Building my friend a stereo...

So my friend is a DJ, and has been working on updating his car stereo. He has a 95 Dodge Neon (yeah, I know), recently just paid out the ass to have a CD player and speakers installed, without consulting with me and finding out I could have done it for loads cheaper. Luckily they didnt con him into buying a sub and amp or else the markup would have been rediculious.

I told him I can do a good sub and arm setup for under $300 (including a wiring kit), then I would only charge him like $50 to install it all.

I have been checking out Crutchfield and I found a new Sub/box/amp Combination, I have always been a big fan of Rockford Fosgate, I have a 360a2 amplifier in my contour, its close to 6 years old and works like the day it was new. So I know the logevity is there... Tell me what you think of this setup for $280

Or I just found this... Would this be worth they extra $30?

its not bad for everyday kinda extra bump in the trunk bass... maybe i can tell me wifey that this s what she needs in her car, althouhg the boston one is nice, the r/f will hit harder for the money

He said he doesnt want a stupid amount of bass, what he needs is a responsive subwoofer, he does techno/dance mixes. I mean, I have a single Pioneer 10 inch with my Fosgate amp, and he said that was nearly perfect for what he was looking for. So I was thinking that single 12 inch boston would be perfect because it would take minimal trunk space (as he does have a neon) and could put out a hell of a lot of punch or a moderate amount. I think I might pitch him both of those and see what one he wants.
