Labour fee issue (Help)

RF P1000-1BD amp + P3D412 sub

i've just added RF amp and 12" sub in my 2007 e90 328xi to go with my stock logic 7 sound system.
my local sound shop charged me 3 hours of labour ($69 per hour) for this amp n sub installation.

in total labour fee.
$69 X 3hours = $207

with a bented sub box for my 12" sub ($149) and all extra cables required for this installation
in total, the shop charged me $489 CND ($440 US):

does this 3 hours of labor sound reasonable?

Does a installation of an amp and a sub take 3 hours? is this usual?
i was expecting only a bit longer than 1 hour.

plz, share some experience.

i've never had sound system installed before.

I would charge you more. No idea how good their install is, but I would charge you more. It's not an Accord.
