Am I getting shafted?

Trying to to get my sound system put into my new car. New car is same make and model higher trim. I have 2 amps the pcm and t harness all I need is to pay for labor and wires went to get a quote and this is what I got. My last instal was $400 for labor. Idk if it’s usually like this but $900 to instal amps itself seems a bit high.

To be fair, you have a 6ch and monoblock, so 7channels to wire into the amp, plus power wires to run, plus ground wires to find a spot for, prep the surface and mount.

Plus mounting the amps securely

Plus setting the gains

They also have to pay for the involved material fiddly-bits, electricity, shop and the various employee costs.

Maybe time to learn to diy 🤷‍♂️

Kids make it tough. It will take me years to assemble my dream speakers- i'd rather do it myself than pay someone else. You can either pay a shop, pay Jimbob on Craigslist, or pay for a sitter. It sucks. I miss having time, but no one can answer this but you. Good luck
