Installation help??(is this a good deal)

Thank God i finally found a car audio forum for Canada, I was on seriousexplorations.com for my car audio help.
So Hey everyone,
I just needed some help on finding out whether or not the quote im getting on installation from 3D sound and security (burnaby) is a good deal. (I am a noob so need some help to save money)
They are quoting me for $790 for the just the installation on the following for my 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac:
-A custom box (in that tight space behind the seats)
-2 12" sony xplod subs
-Sony xplod Mono amp
-Sony xplod4 speakers in each door
-sony xplod simple deck
-An Nustart alarm system (starter and security 1-way)(so bypass required)
-2 Audiovox Dvd Screens(w/ built in Dvd player) that already in a separate heard rests with wiring (just need to connect)
-(all wiring included even amp kit)
(Don't diss on the system lol, i know a lot of pplz hate on Sony but i think its good)
All this for $790, but i asked them I will pay $790 only if they throw in a capacitor w/ install and they said okay so all that plus a free capacitor w/ install for $790.
So I need a little feedback as soon as possible as i want this installed quickly b/c its been over a month since I've had this system sitting at home and its taunting me lol, and if this isnt a good deal which i dont think it is could you guys tell me some places that are good installers and inexpensive within Metro Vancouver.

Thanks In Advance

that sounds like a pretty reasonable deal to me. a cap is around 100 bux alone, to get anyone to install that alarm is worth a few bills, Lots of labour time to do a full install. it should take the better part of the day with more than one guy on it. If it were summer, the price would have probably been closer to $1000, with no cap included.

but now that you are on here, there are lots of local installers here as well. Ask around, maybe you can get an even better deal from someone else, eventhough I think your quote is decent in itself.

I dunno, but they do give a lifetime warranty on their workmanship, but has anyone dealt with 3D Sound and Security in Burnaby B.C
