[QUOTE="StuartV, post: 1938612, member: 568133"] So, speaking of all that, what effort should this install take? Here's what I brought them: '06 F350 SuperCab Alpine IVA-W200 HU already installed and working XM module already installed and working PAC steering wheel remote interface module already installed and working PAC video bypass module already installed and working iPod interface cable already installed and working Alpine PXA-H701 NIB (New In box) to be installed behind the back bench seat Alpine KCA-100BT Bluetooth module NIB to be installed (mic in the overhead computer and control module on dash) JL Audio Stealthbox sub NIB (replaces bottom portion of front bench seat center console) to be installed Rainbow Germaniums NIB to be installed, woofers in front doors, tweeters in A-pillars 3 Carver amplifiers, 2 NIB, 1 used, to be installed behind the back bench seat They provided 0-gauge power and ground wires, power distribution blocks, Stinger RCA cables, speaker wire and remote turn-on wire, an AI-Net cable, and Dynamat. Basically everything else needed to install the stuff I provided. They quoted me a flat $400 for all the parts, including Dynamat, a flat $200 to install the Dynamat in the two front doors (on the inner and outer skins), and then $50 per hour labor for everything else. They estimated approx. 6 hours labor to do the rest, with the understanding that it could be less or it could be more. At this point, they've already had the truck for 2 full days and today is their 3rd day with it. I'm afraid they're going to come back when they're done and want to charge me for 20 hours of labor on top of the $600 I already paid them to cover the parts and Dynamat install. That seems totally off the chart unreasonable to me, but I've never done such a big install myself, so maybe I'm wrong. What do y'all think? [/QUOTE]
