Thanks Scott I did some searchs and when through a bunch of the old posts also.

What would be a fair install cost for the system you spec'ed out? I doubt I will have the time or initiative to do the install. Thanks again

i wouldn't have the slightest idea about labor charges. I've never had any stereo equipment installed.

it's not that complicated of an install but if you wanted to save money to make it closer to the $1000 mark you can check out www.thezeb.com for some 2 way 6.5" cdt components for $150 while they have the special running.
