welcome to the site

thanks... one last question for you guys

Do you know what wires/witing kits I would need for all this equipment? Would rather buy myself than buy from dealer. Thx

This should do just fine http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=4743

Edit, since you have a sound processor, and two amps, I'd get two sets of RCA cables along with it, any 4 gauge amp kit will do like the link I provided, other than that you'll just need two sets of RCAs.

Well where i work we Charge $55 for a component set install, $35 for the coax, 70.00 for a 4channel install, amp and sub $60, and for the proccesor id probably charge you just an advanced accesory install for $30 bucks

so your lookin at about $250 bucks for everything installed.

If someone came to me with all that stuff i would do it for 150. Not bad considering install prices of "shops" these days.

Find a local to HELP you out, you won't learn anything if you just have other people do it for ya!
