I had an amp installed last week.

ARC Audio 125 X 2 mini amp. JL Sub, Dyno Mat trunk and deck, doors. It is very loud, lots of bass. I keep the bass at 2 o'clock and it is rocking...turn it all the way up and it is way too much. I had the subwithout amp and it was pretty good.

200 for amp
65 for labor
25 for install kit

much better than doing the install myself

Dino,
I have installed many aftermarket amps in the past, both as a hobbyist and a "professional." That being said, I will likely bring my S5 to an insured and well respected shop and have one installed for me. If you do decide to DIY, I have read that finding a switched power supply is the most difficult part of the install. If you don't know what I am talking about, definitely get a professional install. Good luck!

Hey guys - I got this figured out about an hour ago. I fount out that in the rear there's a fusebox on the pass side, behind the little cubby box. I found the fuse for the center console aux power port. I tapped into that for the power turn-on signal to the amp. The rest of the install was cake with the battery in the trunk. I will post pics tmrw in case it helps anyone else... Kenwood 9104d amp to a single 4 ohm kenwood 12" in a 1.2 cu in sealed box. It's a perfect match for the B&O system, imo ...
