what? To install that cost 400! Fu ck that. learn to do it yourself. And I don't think your amps can accept 0gauge inputs, probaly 4 gauge. In your situation, do 4gauge. And don't waste money on a cap, upgrade your battery and do the big 3.

Well you should probably go 4 gauge, but if not w/e. But you should not pay 400 for installation. That is just stupid.

Well rather than pay someone that rediculous price,do it yourself.It's best to learn now and you won't have to ever worry about it again later.If you pay someone to install your stuff and something goes wrong you're going to have to pay them again to fix/inspect it.It's not very hard to install any car audio it just takes a little time.

mess up or not, chance is good they'll blow anyway. and yeah, if you pay $400 for installing 2 amps and a cap. (waste) you need slapped. at the most it should cost about $150-200 tops for those 3 things installed.

l7's aren't as sensitive as they are shi_tty. very poor build quality and they tend to blow easily. waste of money imo. as far as tuning the amp i'd say that's easier than the install.

Get yourself a DMM(Digital Multi Meter) and you'll be able to tune your amp properly.If you don't know how to build a box there are a few guys on these Forums that could probably do it for a decent price.
