You have amps pluralized so multiple amplifiers? I'd say $400-500 is fair for labor plus supplies. A quality 4 gauge amp kit is around $100. Do they need the radio wire harness adapter and install kit?

He bought everything from Crutchfield including video/radio harnesses and installation kit I assume.

When doing sidework it is usually best to call a few shops and get quotes and then try to beat it by at least $100. If you go too low they will shy away thinking you must really do crappy work in comparison! posted_image

I was thinkin about 500 before I post it here. Plus, how hard is it as far as removing the stock head unit and running these new speakers to the new AMP.

If it was easy they would be doing it themselves. I charge enough to cover getting my hands mangled on all the sharp bits in the dash. LOL Unless they are a good buddy and helping do the bulk of the work I don't feel bad for making a buck. posted_image
