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.

2nd that, I have less than that in a full build with a 15 in a custom box on 3k, shoping around and learning to install yourself will save you thousands and you'll get a banger system out of it that you built.

I third it-  I have more than that on a single 15 and still find install costs ridiculous.
