Aftermarket Deck

I bought the Alpine IVA-W200 so I took it to the audio store to have it installed to learn that it's goin to cost around $700 to install becuase the fiberoptics make it hard to install. Has anyone else put an after market deck in their car with out spending a fortune? I'm looking for something that will power my subwoofer correctly.

If they changing his HU why would they need anything else? Let him choose his amp and speakers. Now if he was to keep his HU the fibers would be a problem and he would need a 3sixty or clean sweep
