Having someone else do the work will be expensive. If you know how, shop crutchfield and do it yourself. Kinda difficult to tell without knowing the brand of components. You can always double check the price of the components and see if they are marking them up.

The price of the speaker on Cruchfield is the same, labor is just labor. I am not comfortable doing any of this myself anymore

I may try best buy to see what they want to do.

My son paid over $2000 for his system but it was basically a gut and replace job. New head unit, amp, subwoofer and component speakers with crossovers and such. It was a local small sound shop kinda place. Shop around a bit if you can. Personally would not trust best buy. Smaller shops tend to take a little more pride because they are trying to compete with the big places.

Buy the components elsewhere(on line) and then get a price for just the installation. This includes wire and any connections you may need. You will find that none of the local places carry the components that you may want. They carry what they think will sell. Go the the manufactures web site (Kenwood Pioneer etc..) and pick and choose what you like. Then find a good price on line. I haven't bought from any local places since the internet. The local places can't match the price or selection. I'm one who researches and does his homework before i buy anything.
