Is this a good deal?

Hi, im more of a mechanically minded person and am not very skilled in car audio. I was wondering If this kit came with everything needed for install? Is it a good deal/company? And how much would it cost to get installed by lets say Best Buy, or if you know a better place to have it done.

Thank you in advance

imho DUAL is just a bottom of the line brand for car audio. that doesnt mean its not good just a cheap brand.

So does that mean its a good deal? i've been reading pretty good things about dual. yeah there cheap but they work. and how much would an install cost?

It's swap meet JUNK!

Dual isn't a good name brand.

If your stuck on getting a cheap 7" deck at least get a Audiovox or Jenson.

sorry for the string of questions but are referbished sets fine or should I just get a new one? and still wondering what install $ would be.

I'd only go with new, just my opinion though. Best Buy charges like $50 to install a regular head unit. If I'm right install on that would be like $100-$150? Don't quote me on that. It's been about a year since I looked into it and just decided to save the money and do it myself.
