ya i am doing it at best buy instead lol for $99.. its a 5 channel amp so they charge more


180 seems more reasonable if they are amping door speakers, but its still quite expensive. Forgot what amp was it.

LOL.
Honestly, Do that shit yourself. 180. LOL.
Takes an hour max.

Edit: A bit longer for what you need done, It's honestly VERY simple.

Took me three hours to do the focus.

deck, 6x9's, 4" doors, 2 tweets, 2 subs, 2 amps.

Running the wire takes the longest (depending on the job you do.)

I ran everything under the carpet so i just yanked the drivers seat out lol.

a professional shop should do it in 2 hours max for a full system, just for an amp? 20-30 mins depnding on what it gets hooked to.

ya fuck that.. it will take me 5-6 hours to do.. i rather pay some one to do it.. takes the shop 3 hours to do, $60 a hour pretty much, and they are going to have to take the extra step and amping all the speakers since i have a 5 channel amp and i rather not try myself, it will be frustrating and take a lot of time.. $180 seems like a lot to ppl a lot but w/e

180?

imo do it yourself...its not that hard.
usually lasts about an hour or two, depending on the vehicle.

also depends on what you have for the wiring.

buddy of mine had 0 guage wiring and that was a bitch to install..

when ive done my cars, i find it quite fun sometimes. but anyways the first time i put in 4 new door speakers, sub box amp subs etc, it took about 3 hours.
head unit was faster then i thought. pretty fun experience/ more time to hangs with my bros.
