I dont want to install these into my car myself so would I be able to take it to circuit city and have them install it? Ive noticed that they have a pretty good fit and finish when they install stereo equipment into cars.

DIY FTW. It may take time and a lot of questions, but you'll know what is going on, you'll understand more, and you'll be able to diagnose problems in the future easier. Plus, that is just throwing money away in my eyes. It's simple hand tools and pulling your car apart and putting it back together. We'll help.

If you have half a lick of sense and work on anything mechanical/electrical, it is very easy to install car audio equipment!

I would do it yourself.

Taking anything to BB or CC is a bad idea because if they could they would hire monkeys to rear the directions to install equipment. Go to a local audio shop if you refuse to go DIY.

I guess I could install it myself, I would need help of course so as long as yall give me pics and kind of help me out as I go along Im sure I could do it. Also what is dynomat and how much does it cost? I heard that it prevents your car from rattling and I would hate it if my car rattled as much as my friends eclipse.

Dynomatt is a sound deadening sheet you put of interior panels of your vehicle to add critical mass which reduces vibrations. I have both dynomatt and edead V1SE in my daily driver and I will be using edead in my mustang when the time comes.

It is a great idea to look into getting some sound deadening and edead is pretty darn cheap for the benefit you will receive.

So it will reduce all the rattling and vibrating that people will hear on the outside?

Yes.

Remember the more people can hear outside the car, the less you hear inside.

You just have to make sure you use a roller and apply it well. Mine did not like some of the Houston heat, but the majority of it has stayed on.
