I won't dispute your labor prices. But he should buy his wiring first. $154 shipped.

find a friend to do it and pay him. There has to be someone you could get to do it. Maybe someone on this board or others is close to your area....

I have a friend who says he knows how to do stuff but I don't think he knows the technical stuff like setting the gains and checking for clipping.

F 150 is cake, Their should be a small plug drivers side firewall you can fit 0 through, Cheapest your really going to find is CC Just go through it first with them. Have a good one

I have already checked out how I am going to run all the wire and it looks fairly simple with plenty of room.

60ndown is correct. And if you can't, due to the way it's positioned, just keep them low to make sure, and adjust when you feel better.

How are you mounting the amps?

circuit city and probably 99% + of stereo shops arent gonna be setting your gaints correctly either so if you friend can at least run the wire for you then let him....

Innovative Rides is a great place. I know a guy that works there. Also many of you know him on the forums as Moe Lester.

They won't be cheap. But their work will be outstanding.

i agree with the price of labor being around 250....plus wiring. . . do the math . . . about 450, cheaper if you bring them the wiring IMO
