$200 to install???!!! Jeez. I bought Clearwaters for the list price of 
$120...that's 4 great speakers and the wire harness necessary to install 
to your factory radio.

I'm usually all thumbs but my son and I followed the detailed and simple 
install instructions from Clearwater. It took about 90 minutes, nothing 
got messed up and they sound GREAT!

Take the plunge. You can expect great sound which works well with your 
stock radio, but don't expect bass.
