2-3K is high, but not unreasonable. You REALLY get what you pay for when it comes to 12V install. And what you are buying is someone to fix the problems (that will 99% be there) right and right away rather then when it is easy for them.

Also, your best bet ALWAYS is to get all the gear from the install shop (they will do discounts and package prices). The money you spend on the parts that is more then getting them yourself, you will almost always save on labor. 12V shops (all shops) would rather sell you the whole deal and it will (would have been) cheaper in your case if you just would have gone to a good shop, shown them your street prices and let them give you one package price installed and warrantied. Just an FYI.

Thanks
