[QUOTE="HaXxOoR, post: 6870802, member: 623522"] $600 for labor costs to run some wire are you kidding me? Everything in the audio world is so highly marked up it's a **** joke if you ask me. There is really nothing to installing audio gear in any car. Once you have a basic understanding of how the components work together and how to match things up to get a certain result the rest is easy. The big three is basically a wire upgrade..put some bigger wires in there **** that sure was complicated. Putting in a HU take yours out match up the wires...**** that was seriously complicated. Running power to your amp and hiding wires to have a nice clean finished look is where the work comes in. Unless you want to go down the block and have the 15 year old girls look at your car because it's so loud any install you would do on a scale of complicated would be about a 3 out of 10 imo. Forums like these are good for checking out the latest drivers and amps people are using to get decent results so you don't have to waste your money trying things out yourself.
