Installed, I'd say that was reasonable. your looking at a $1500 system with $700 of labor and custom equipment. Replacing the head unit, 4 speakers, adding an amp or three and some subs gets very expensive.

I have installed a headunit, four speakers, an amp and two subs for as little as $800 (equipment and labor). And I was using good name brand equipment (we don’t carry any crappy product).

You should be able to find a local stereo shop or Best buy to add a 2 channel amp and some decent speakers. Figure $150 for the amp and $150 for door speakers, I don't know what they would charge to put it in, but it shouldn't be that much.

You didn't say if you gave the guy a budget you were working with or not. If you just go in and say you want a stereo they are always going to sell you a lot. If you say I have $XXX and I want a stereo they will usually stick somewhere close to your budget, but usually try to sell you a little over.

Let us know your budget, what kind of music you listen to, what kind of vehicle you are putting it in, and what kind of of options you are looking for and I'm sure we can give you some suggestions.
