do you need to run the wires from the amp to each and ever speaker or is there a way to do it right behind the head unit.

give a list of all the equipment you are installing in the car. Be complete with model numbers as it will depend on what you are installing.

The only thing amped in you car are the woofers in the doors if you have that......Factory hu powers the other 4 speakers. A 4 ch. be easy to put in, knowing the models of everything be great(just like ttocs said).

If it is just the shaker 500 there is one factory amp over and above the the drivers kick panel, but that is just for the woofers in the doors and the factory hu powers the other 4 speakers.... Other then that it is just like any other 4 ch. that you may have installed before...

if you are in a shop and working with customers then you know that we can't do anything for you when you don't give us anything to work with.

At this point all we can say is that IF it is a shaker system, it will have additional amps.

If I had a salesman book a car for an appointment like that and didn't know what was in the car I would yell at him and tell him to figure out how big a hole he dug himself into. For a full system like that you should know exactly what is in the car before you can agree on a price, before you can book the appointment. Tell your installer to smack you once for me, just hearing this reminds me of why I left installation......

have a nice day.
