steve,
def. agree with you over the fact of it being time consuming. a friend of mine got it installed from a shop with life time warranty from DEI, all together with installation it cost him 180. i thought it was well worth it given he has life time installation/parts warranty and he saved tons of labor and frustration had he done it himself.
