[QUOTE="kingsxman, post: 1354488, member: 563735"] Its not difficult, but if your not familiar with it it might be worth the bucks to pay to have it done. The tricky part, in my opinion, is getting the power connected at the battery and through the firewall and to the trunk. I think that I've done my last one of those. What I'm doing from now on in that dept. is I will buy a large enough gauge to run multiple amps off it (4 gauge), then pay a shop to get the power to the trunk. From there I can do the rest. However, I dont know how much $$ it would save me. I actually paid for an amp to be installed with my last install. They did a great job with the power and a crappy job iwht the amp install. I was surprised however at how relatively inexpensive it was...but then the nickle and dimed me. ("You had a RCA that was bad so we had to put one in". "Your "kit" was short an RCA") Seriously, thats the crap I heard. I bought a kit from stinger with 4 gauge power, ground, speaker and rca. They had the balls to tell me the kit didnt come with an RCA...and since I hadnt opened the plastic sealed case I couldnt say for sure it did...even though it said it did. Anyway, get a quote from them as to exactly how much it will run...and make them stick to it. Get a 4 channel so you can power everything when you get it. Rears are super easy to install and hook up. (unless you have a Grand Prix..then they're a pain!!!) here;s link to a good place to get your cables that you need cheap. Go talk to some places and make sure that you can bring in your own wire and cables...then go to it. Look at the 4 guage complete sets. Theres a good one on here for $31. The shop would charge you $90 for this.
