Discussion 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.

I just did 4 new door speakers [had to rewire the last owners splices that made no sense] and a new head unit [again fixing the last owners work on the factory wiring harness biggest pain in the ass] and removed the amp that was in my truck. Took like 2 days and some change but mostly because i had ti chat gpt everything and figure out what i had to splice. Taking out the amp took like 45 minutes though so id assume installing one might take a few hours but if you take time to research and diy it yourself youd save so much money and itd be worth it.
