I really do appreciate all of the feedback!!
I dont really see their logic in charging 100 more to install 1 amp instead of 2. Its a little less wiring. Shop around with local shops and have them compete for your money. The price seems a little high, I dont know what they intend to do installation wise though. sure you can cat the stuff cheaper online but no shop will install grey market product that undercuts their prices.
What most fail to realize is that dealers are under contract to sell certain brands at retail. If they are caught selling for less they can be stripped of their right to sell. Some shops may work around the retail pricing by offering deep discounts on installation so shop around
