Good Deal?

I went to a local car audio shop today and I think I got a pretty good deal on some wiring upgrades I wanted done, what do you think? I don't have the time or patience to do it myself. All for only $150:

1/0 guage from battery (I'm providing the fuse and holder) to rear distro (which I'm also providing. 4guage is in there right now.

Crossovers that are in the front doors for my comps and EQx (have cheap loc installed right now) ran to the rear.

Everything will be mounted to the rear seat distro, amps, EQx, and Crossovers. currently amp and distro are just mounted to the box.

I have a 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara which is a small SUV. Hopefully soon I can add a battery to the rear as well as get the big 3 done. My current fuse holder is actually melting from the amount of power I'm running through it so I had to get this done quickly. The setup is a Modded MTX Thunder 1501D on a TC-3000 and a MTX Thunder 502 on some Rainbow Germaniums, Focal Coax's will be ran off the HU in case anyone cares.

So all you actually got from them was a length of 1/0awg and some labor?

How long did they work on it?

I'm going wednesday. They said it'd be like 2 hours. They have to yank out a bunch of wire they already ran plus they're carpeting my box which isn't too much of a big deal.

I'm going to see if they can also leave some wire ran for me so when I get kick panels I can wire it up easily and throw my daytons in the door.

I was very close to doing this myself but I was just worried I'd **** it up. The EQx was kind of intimidating to me plus my garage is cluttered so there's not much room to work with and if I did it in the driveway I'd be worried because I have had my system stolen before right in front of my house. However, they were audiobahn subs with cheap power acoustik amps, they might have been doing me a favor lol...

Ya you don't want to do it in open area. Especially in San Diego
