How much should a professional install run me?

[Ampz 10+ year member]

I have an '05 TSX with navi so I'm keeping the stock HU and using a processor.

I need installed:

1 comp set for front stage

1 amp for comps

1 sub

1 amp for sub

1 3sixty.2

No wires are ran nor do I have any wires purchased. I need all the wiring and everything installed and the processor installed and tuned. I know it's impossible to give an exact number but just a round-a-bout price that I should expect to be paying (so I don't get ripped) would be appreciated!

WAY too much! Like paying someone $250 to do an oil change IMO...

So you suggest I just do it myself?

Lemme ask you something I was talking to a guy who claimed to know how to install the processor and he said first he needed to see if there was a low (something) from the HU and if not we would need a high to low converter? Does that sound familiar?

where do you live in philly? Im up here for school so I dont have any tools but if you do, I can give you a hand. A flat head or door tool, philips head screw driver/drill, a wire crimper, and a meter are really all youre gonna need. Im not gonna be of much help with the processor, but i can show you how to do your comps and sub no problem. Ill be in nc next week for break, but shoot me a pm if want.

You can advertise on Craigslist and find someone that will install it all for about $150 ........just pick up a $30 wiring kit at Wal-Mart for them
