Im trying to add some power to my GP stereo i bought 2 Audiobahn Subwoofers + Bandpass Enclosure + Sound Storm Labs 1600 Watts Vanquish V400.4 Amplifier
im not even gonna try putting this thing together myself cose its like a black magic to me so i went to Best Buy store to ask how much would installation cost but when this guy told me i literally lost my balance
he said it would cost me around $500-600 now to all GP owners that have decent system in their cars how much did you pay to have yours installed and what other stores are there that i could have this installed
thanks im going to lay down now

I do all of my stereo installs myself, after seeing how a few "professional" places did the installs, I figured that by using just a litle bit of common sense, I could do it myself.
The hardest thing to do is to run the heavy power wire and the remote wire(the remote goes on with the stereo - if you have an aftermarket deck, use one of the blue wires, if a stock deck try to find an antennae pow line). The ground can go in the trunk near the amp and you can either run rca cables from an aftermarket deck, or splice into the rear channel speaker wires.
Hook the wires inside the box to the subs, and screw them in. Close up the box and attach it to the amp just like a home stereo speaker. Set the amp on the lowest setting, turn on the stereo and adjust the amp for the thump you desire.
Just remember, be patient while running wires, there is ALWAYS a simple and clean way to do it - all it takes is common sense.
