Default Atlanta Audio install

Hey guys. I'm looking to get some speakers installed in my 2008 crewmex. Here is what I'm looking at:

Components in the front (db6501 or mm6501)
Coax in the rear (db651 or mm651)
4 Channel Alpine amp
2 layers of dynamat (i was told it's a huge difference over one layer)

My next question is, what audio shop do you guys recommend that is resonably priced? I am buying all this stuff online and just need it installed. I would take a shot at installing it myself (i am pretty electronic/audio savvy) but since this is a brand new truck i would rather leave it to the pros.

Also, looking at the above equipment, what price range am I looking at for install?

Thanks a lot guys.

IMO go to Area41 if you want things done right. I know some ppl. will say they are over priced, but they really know what they are doing. I use to get all my work done at meggamaxx but of lately I lost my faith in them. I have been looking for someone to build me a custom box where my 40 back seat is. I want it to contour like the seat and then have 2 10 or 12'' subs there with leather. I have been to Sound Sensations, MeggaMaxx, Xtreme Sounds, and some other shops and they all dont sound to confident that they can do it. I went to Area41 and they were all about it, they put my truck in the shop, took out the seat, measured and then told me it could be done. They quoted me $2000 for the custom matching leather box, 2 12'' memphis subs, memphis amp, wiring kit, and installation. and the quote is considering 2 days work, and a lot of material, so if it is less then they will charge me less for it. Any ways IMO I would rather pay a little more and have my truck done right by ppl. who actually know what they are doing. While I was there they showed me a few customer cars they were doing and the installation was clean as hell and sounded crazy loud and clean. But thats just my opinion.

I havent had the greatest experiance at sound sensations. I went in once and they didnt have a clue what they were talking about. They wanted to convince into cutting a hole in my bed to put in a sub back there on the back seat. I told them i didnt want to because i like my rear window to go all the way down and they didnt care, they said "oh you dont need that". Then they said they could build me a custom box like the jl stealth box for the new tundra and i told them i would have enough room yet they said they could make it work, well they took the plastic cover off in the back and after taking measurement they said they couldnt do it which only pissed me off because i had already told them it was not possible. So dont go to sound sensations imo.

Sound Sensations reputation is stellar. Their owner is usually there, if you have any type of issue you should speak with them. Their client list and the cars and the projects they do when I visit the shop is amazing.
