Hello all, first time poster here (been a lurker for quite some time, the information here on waxing/polishing is fantastic!).
I've been blessed with an early Christmas gift, an MTX subwoofer package that includes a single 12" subwoofer, amp and enclosure. I was also given a LOC (because I am using the stock HU) and an 8 gauge wiring kit.
Specs for the sub, amp and enclosure are:
Subwoofer:
Single 12" subwoofer - 600W peak, 200W RMS, 4ohms
Amp:
RMS Power Rating:
4 ohms: 120 watts x 1 chan.
2 ohms: 200 watts x 1 chan.
Max power output: 400 watts x 1 chan.

The sound is fairly decent but could be much better. It's not very clear and the whole system seems to struggle at higher volumes. It also seems to miss out completely on some of the really high and really low sub frequencies. Since this was a gift, I would like to keep it and upgrade parts of it as I able to.
My question is, given this setup, which would you upgrade first? My gut feeling is the HU but I don't want to lose the OEM info display. And if the amp is rated for 4 ohms: 120 watts x 1 chan, does that mean my sub is only getting 120W? That seems awfully weak considering the sub is rated for 200W RMS.
