Default ML+ Installation Cost?

I just picked up a ML+ system. I got a quote from Showtime Audio in chicago for $150 for installation. They were recommended to me by VAIS and they have a lot of experience installing VAIS systems in the 3GS. This seems right on to me. Is this a good price?

It is really easy to install you don't want to try yourself?

From what I have seen, the installation looks easy enough, but I don't have the time this weekend, and want it installed before next week. What would a fair price be?

An experienced installer should take about one hour to remove, install/wire, setup/test, then put everything back. So whatever the rate you think is fair for one hour labor.

Don't forget to get the OEM Apple component cable.
