Check out local shops prices or try and find someone who knows what they're doing to help out. If you read up on how to do it you'll be able to do it yourself or with a buddy in a few hours if you've never done stuff like this. It'll also save you some money as well, but if thats not a huge issue then like i said go to a local shop and get prices from different shops.

Also, where is Lake Mary? If you put your state maybe someone on here will chime in and maybe be able to come help you.

Oh if you were in the area i would've helped ya out. But if you know what you're doing and have the time just do it yourself that way you know its right and help kill some time. If you're like me i enjoy installing stuff and seeing the outcome, especially when it works! ha

I would recommend finding a reputable shop with decent prices and have them install it, you usually can avoid some headaches that way and if you use their stuff they deal with warranties instead of you if you ever have any problems. If everybody is just too high, pm me I will answer any questions you might have. I'm an installer at a shop here in SC.

i found a place that installed it for a very fair price, but i do have a question. i have a 5 channel amp, so im running 4 speakers and a sub off of it. the front speakers are amped (which is actually 4 counting the tweeters), and the two middle rear speakers are amped leaving the back rear speakers run off of my head unit. would you think it better to have the back rear speakers amped instead of the middle rear ones? i had this same setup in a sonoma with the stock speakers run through the front channel and two 6x9's run through the rear channel; it had a really good full sound to it. but now im really not getting the mid-bass notes out of my speakers that i had hoped for. the guy i bought the car from told me he installed new infinity speakers all the way around the car but i havent pulled any paneling to look. i do still have my 6x9's from the sonoma to use if i think they are better quality than whats presently in the car (kenwood 5 ways; were 180 for the pair)... any suggestions?
