I priced it like that as it cost me considerably more (the unit itself was £365, the amp & woofers were £200+) - it's all hooked up with quick release connectors so it can be easily unclipped for servicing etc.

I made a new base from MDF and soundproofed with dynamat (the modified\cut original plastic base rattled a lot when turned up) and this can be used with any aftermarket stereo. The bose config has a weird wiring system - this just connects to a pre out. The amp can however be hooked up from a speaker R/L line too - I just prefer to use the pre out control from my head unit.

They do pop up on ebay every now and then but never seen one go REALLY cheap, but no worries and good luck in finding one.
