A car audio tech recommended for me to get my system rewired. Am I getting scammed? Or should I go for it?

[QUOTE="Og_slim2, post: 8839965, member: 688783"] I've recently had some new door speakers (Kicker), tweeters (Polk Audio), sub (Kicker), headunit (Alpine), and a 900W 5-channel amp(Skar Audio) installed into my car by a friend in my 2013 Corolla. I had the door speakers and sub installed first and it was working fine, but after the tweeter install the audio started cutting out at anything above half volume. I thought it was maybe a power issue with the amp. But after taking it to two different car audio stores they both said my friend did a shitty job wiring and I should think about rewiring the whole system. The last guy I took it to said the way how the amp was wired is dangerous and can cause a fire. He quoted me $800 to get it rewired ($500 for labor, $180 for 6 x 9 [JL C1-690TX], $55 for speaker wires, and $35 for RCA Cable). Am I getting scammed or should I go for it?
