In the past I have usually installed all my stuff my self but it just never turns out right. So now im starting over and going to a good shop. The place is Traffic Jams in Sherman Oaks, Ca. Supposedly they do good work and from what I have seen when I go in there they know there stuff. So any way here is what they recommended:
Diamond Audio (s600s) 6 1/2" Hex $600 (x2)
DA (D612D4) 12" Subs $400 (x2)
DA (D61000.1) Mono Amp $700
DA (D6600.4) 4Ch Amp $700
Audio Control EQS $380
Material - 350-400
Labor (They are doing a free air baffle) $1500
This is all going in a 2004 Audi A4 and they are doing a free air baffle with the rear tweeters in the deck. Also they are putting the amps in the spare tire well with some plexi and all that.
Does all this seem pretty reasonable? I know they have to make money but I just don't want to get ripped off (it has happened before and that is the reason I got into car audio).

Sounds like a killer system.  Only you can know if the materials and labor charge seems right, and if you're not sure get competing quotes from other good shops.  There are plenty of good shops in SO-CAL.  If it's a full-on custom job, it could be a really good deal.  If it's a standard install, it sounds way too high.  So it depends on what they're doing, the shop's reputation and the going rates in your area.

Thanks I really just want to make sure the equipment price is right. I will shop around. Hopefully they can work something out they seem pretty cool and I've showed them I will come back.
