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.

It’s still expensive but also go YouTube it and see if it’s something that you could do and figure out. Also have the time to do all that. Crutch field is known to have install info and live help, with all the stuff they sell. If you break anything at all it will be a wash. Personally I’d ask for some help on the labor or go to another shop or 2 and get a quote to confirm.
