Okay, so that is all taken care of (thanks to the help I got at these forums). Now, in order to make this system work properly, it needs to be installed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif . I am going to get this all installed by professionals. You guys are the experts here, and I know you probably install your own stuff a lot, but do you have any insight as to where I should take my car to get it done, and who does a really good job? Prices? Thanks again.

I, too am from MN. Audio King does excellent basic installs and has the best customer service I have ever dealt with. Their prices are about average. For good custom installs check out MACH1. They have a store on Randolph and Lexington in St.Paul (my neck of the woods). They are a little pricy but have done some awesome custom installs.

Audio King install prices: 2 Channel amp-$55, 4 channel amp-$65-85, Capacitor-$35, coaxial speakers-$25-35, Subs-$30 per pair, HU-$45 + install kit.

i would deffinatly go to a local stereo shop and whatever you do dont go to a chain like circut city or anything like that they usually charge high prices and the work is sumtimes sub par although i have had good experiences with best buys intstallers. it really isnt that difficult to do your selfs and it will save a lot of money, it just takes one nice afternoon to do it all. but if you do go to a pro i would say do some of the easy things your self like the 5 and 6 inch speakers. good luck. let us know how it comes out.
