Silver Member Username: Nyyfan13VA USA Post Number: 381 Registered: Jul-06 | is it really that "easy"? cause ive talked to a couple people and they have all said do it yourself. if u guys dont mind, could u link me with some sites that would be a good read to learn and instructions or stuff like that. honestly i dont have $300 to spend on install cause i figured this guy who i know owuld hook me up with a better price. thanks |

Gold Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 3038 Registered: Sep-05 | it is ok, for running 2 amps, and components and a head unit. I would offer them $275 and see what they say. especially if it is a shop and will warrany labor and cover any mistakes they make...like broken parts, etc... and most shops will lifetime warranty their labor, at least good shops will, |

Silver Member Username: Th3pwn3rChicago, Illinois U.S.A Post Number: 664 Registered: Jul-06 | They will only warranty their products usually,meaning products that they sold you.That is expensive though...I'm sure you could do it yourself,it really isn't hard at all. |

Silver Member Username: Nyyfan13VA USA Post Number: 384 Registered: Jul-06 | alrite, i think im gonna have him install the hu since u all said its hard. and then go from there and try to do it myself and see how it goes. if it goes bad ill just use him. |

Silver Member Username: Tremor1127Post Number: 311 Registered: Aug-06 | head units can be tricky at first, but hooking up subs and amps and all that is simple, theres like 5 wires running to an amp, dar... |

Gold Member Username: FrkkevinLake Worth, Texas US Post Number: 1322 Registered: Nov-05 | installing head units are easy with the proper wiring harness and dash kit... the hard part is taking the factory one out. some cars are easy and some are hard.. i could not do my VW head unit so i had to get it done.. honestly if i were you i'd find out how much they would charge for you to pull your factory head unit out. either way you'd have to pull the new one out they install to run the wiring for the amp to it so you might as well install that yourself.. its mostly all common sense and with patience you can do it. not to mention you can always say "yep i did it all myself" |

Gold Member Username: B101USA Post Number: 3693 Registered: Sep-05 | im a installer and that price is about correct... HU 50 AMP 75 AMP 75 front speakers 40 back speakers 40 sub? so yea, it gets up there, but u get the job done professionally... say that... "professionally" and ur scion dashes are fun.. lol but I can do that job in about 30-40 mins.. lol  u can try to do itself, make it a weekend project if u want, risk burnin up some fuses or amp or hu... wiring everything is critical! also when u install ur own stuff u bought from the store, u dont even get no where near the full warranty! also hope u have the correct tools to make the job easy and pretty... |

Silver Member Username: Nyyfan13VA USA Post Number: 396 Registered: Jul-06 | alrite, so shuold i atempt to puit the HU in cause if i cant then i have to take to him but i eventually have to take it out myself to plug in the wires to the back and then put it back in my self. is it that hard or could i figure it out? also what would be a good amp kit for a hifonics brutus bxiseries1206d? (1200rms at 1 ohm) (12"SSD sub) |

Silver Member Username: KenwaPost Number: 404 Registered: May-04 | Dont just have the shop put in the HU b/c you will just have to pull it back out to run your remote wire and RCAs. Do it yourself its easy, the hardest thing is all the trim/carpet you have to mess with to hide wires. |

Silver Member Username: Nyyfan13VA USA Post Number: 397 Registered: Jul-06 | alrite, well im gonna try to do it myself. what would be a good amp kit for a hifonics brutus bxiseries1206d? (1200rms at 1 ohm) (12"SSD sub) |
|
Gold Member Username: Crayola0Wisconsin Post Number: 1265 Registered: Jun-06 | doing it urself is the best way cause then u learn how to do it so next time its all good. i installed my hu on my own for the first time its quite simple but u have to buy a wire harness which is like 6 bucks from walmart. |

Silver Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 722 Registered: Jan-06 | im sure its ok, but the shipping is as much as the kit....just get one from wal-mart...they work fine, just remember to get the one that is big enough to handle the wattage for your amp |

Silver Member Username: Nyyfan13VA USA Post Number: 409 Registered: Jul-06 | so walmart would be legit to use here? and 4 gauge wire is good to use? thanks bud |
