Finally got this install done.. you were right. I ended up going somewhere different, but it's all the same around here. 100-150 for a head unit/amp/sub, little more for the other amp and speakers, and sketchy shops doing half ass work. I was literally looking for a place that would charge me more just so I'd feel safe with them, but couldn't, they were all just as cheap and sketchy as the last one.
I'll probably be creating a new thread tonight for advice on how to approach this problem, but just wanted to bring this thread back from the dead to give your "I told ya so"
They mangled my interior trim pieces.. 2 that don't require tools to remove, and one that didn't need removing at all. These are the aftermarket black trim pieces I had to order too, not the ugly silver ones. (aftermarket on my 2013 at least)
They kept my old speakers, the instruction manuals for the new stuff, and all the boxes.
They didn't hook up the usb and aux to the new unit.
There's a popping noise when I turn the car off, possibly from a bad ground.
I'm sure I'm missing a couple things, but you get the idea. So now I've got to figure out if I want to address it with them or just leave them 1 star reviews, if I want to fix it myself, and how I'm going to fix it.
