I did mine myself - however I am thinking about paying $150 to re-wire my bows, mount amps, clean up everything, etc.
However, I am going to build my own sub box.

$300 is a fair price if you are paying because going rate on just running/wiring tower speakers is $200 alone

this question can't be answered on here. it's simply a matter of your technical abilities and knowledge of stereo installs.
I would probably suggest that if you are at all second-guessing yourself, pay and have it done. most shops are going to charge a little more to clean up someone's project than start clean. now if you have a buddy that has done stereo installs before, and not the big prefabbed box sitting on the back seat of a chevy cavalier, you might enlist them to help you out for maybe beer/pizza, or better yet, a few pulls and a nice afternoon on the water.. I would jump at that chance
and you da man is correct, that is a very fair price..'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten

I didn't mind a bit using an installer. Find a good one, and they will make it look better than if it came from the factory. Mine was worth every penny.
