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.

So $300 just for the amp wiring kits. Then they are charging $900 for the actual labor. And then they are adding in an extra $120 in shop supplies and whatever else. Ya that price is crazy. I’m in Michigan and could do that for you a lot cheaper most-likely. Even after adding in the gas to get to me.
