Default Help Problem my C5 Stereo System Just about Finished

Well they charged $85 an hour to come to the house, it was $65 an hour to take it there at the shop. Didn't want to do that as they would have done whatever they wanted and charged for more than they did prob. I was also able to watch the guy who wasn't terrible but a little sloppy and he said he was trying to be real careful cause my car was so nice.

So I had put in a double din, had the double din brackets and all ready and had it in place, had all 4 speakers in place and wired, amps in and screwed in place, sub/box in and in place. All he did was wire the deck and put the speaker wires and power wires where they go on the amps and subs. Took him 2 hours so that was 175 with tax and then they charged another 100 for parts which was a dual distribution block with 2 200 amp fuses, 5 feet of 4 guage wire, 1 4 channel rca and a couple grounding terminals.

He then also grounded my amps near where the gas tanks are now that I think about it, on top of the center divider on a coupe.
How much room is there before you have hit the gas tanks there!?

he also didnt hook up the speed sensor said it wasnt needed on a avic d3.
Also what is the rss signal do I need that? And my backup camera displays upside down any way to turn that the right way?

Was this a good deal overall and did he his the gas tanks with what he did??

Thanks
