y dont you want to install it yourself its much cheaper and you learn how to do something new, your also going to need more wire for the head unit to the infinitys i would recommend 16 gauge wire from wal-mart, the cost for the amp kit and the 16 gauge wire i think would be around $35-$50 if you buy your stuff from walmart

Buy a complete amp kit from http://www.knukonceptz.com

You should be able to get away with an 8 gauge kit, but if you plan on ever upgrading, you might as well go for the 4 gauge kit now.

BTW, wiring stuff is easy. Don't waste money by having a shop do it. If you need help we can give you steps.

what do u mean if the wiring makes a big difference

like sound quality. does it matter what kind of wires they are ( Wal-mart vs rocksford fosgate wires)
