Does this sound to expensive?

I am having my stereo replaced at Sound Advice today and tomorrow. The are charging me $4k which was twice what I had planned to pay. Here is what they are doing.
Alpine head unit
MB Quartz components up front and rear
2 10 JL subs in custom box
5 channel JL amp
Python alarm system
Thanks

In the market
What kind of deck..is it a touchscreen type of ordeal...that would be a driving cost.

Otherwise 4g's does sound a bit steep. If you are not getting the touch screen set...for 4g's I would at least expect a multi-amp setup as opposed to a 5-channel

No, it is not a touchscreen. The speakers alone for both sets are $1k+ and the amp is another $900. The real charge seems to be the labor for install=$900!

IMHO I would stand by that for the price I would want a multi-amp setup, but I don't think you did bad.
