2 sets of JL audio component speakers
2 Kenwood amps... 4 channel and 1 channel
1 10" sub

Thats basically a complete system... depending on the shop it could be anywhere from around $150 to $250 to install it all. Probably about a 4-5 hour job to do everything.
I bet you can install everything yourself. The deck might be the only thing that gives you trouble because of the wiring, but everything else is pretty straight forward.

if u took it to a BB or CC youd be looking at roughly 325-375$ in just labor here in california.
55$ sub amp install
60$ 4 channel amp install
66$ each set of components
radio is 49$ + 25$ HW charge
besides mounting a subwoofer in the box and mounting the amprack........ most shops charge alot for equipment not purchased from them.
Unless you plan on buying all the speaker and power lines yourself don't forget to add these to installation costs. If you have a shop buy these prepare to pay out the *** for the wiring as well. My wire order alone for my DIY install was nearly 300. That included all new wire for 4 speakers, 2 subs, Interconnects, Power and ground wires, Circuit breaker, connectors etc.. So for a first class job using premium componenets you might pay 400-500 for just all the extra stuff needed then 400+ IMHO to install a HU, 4 speakers, subs and amps.
