Default Stereo installation guy near Philly

Can anyone recommend a stereo installation guy in or near Philly? I've installed all the speakers in my new interior and since I know absolutely nothing about amps etc I need help. I need someone who can either tell me what I need exactly to drive all these speakers and how to hook them up or someone who will pick the right equipment and do the installation of same.

Well tell me what you have for speakers? I can help you pick out amps. It's not hard to wire them up.

Everything is Pyle, not great quality but it's a start. Never was much into music but I figured I should put something in while I'm doing the interior? There's 2- 12" woofers 600W@ up under the dash in the bulkhead facing your feet. Then there's 2- 8" 2way 300W@ in the rear panel under the rear bench seat facing forward. And on each side panel facing into center 2 on each side of 6.5" 2way 250W@. So 8 speakers total.

I know absolutely nothing about amps etc. I would like to keep everything Pyle because I'm anal like that. I have no idea what head unit to use and/or how to hook up the amps properly in what order, how many amps I need and what the hell are bridges and all that hoo hah? I don't mind spending some money or I wouldn't have started this but I don't need the best either, I think I'm tone deaf anyway. I'd attempt it myself if I had alot more info and some possible wiring diagrams, lol, where the hell do you learn this crap from?

Any help is appreciated and some local installer would be great too!

Thats awsum, my email is [email protected] if you want to email me when you get done. I appreciate your time, Thanks! If your looking on Pyles site, feel free to pick a head unit that will work with this as well. AM/FM/CD/ USB or other input good, weather not needed and a wired remote is fine. Thanks again!

Got to be honest with you. I have done a little research and I can't in good faith reccomend any Pyle amplifier. They so blatantly overstate their performance, there is nothing but bad reviews on every series they make. I would hate to tell you that a certain amp will work and they do nothing but fail.

I can reccomend a couple different brands that are lower cost that I know are decent amps, if you are willing to go with another name brand.
