Thanks - That makes sense. I've contacted Sonic Electronics to determine whether they will make a price adjustment.

Because I bought the amp and installation kit as a package, the effective cost of the installation kit was $13. I probably would have spent that amount on RCA cables and speaker wire.

I'm currently considering two options for mounting the amp:

Option 1 - I was able to find an OEM CD-Changer mounting bracket and I'm planning to install the MB-Quart as shown in this thread: Double Din Stereo Install W/Amp and 3 ways

Option 2 - Since I won't be using the Haes amp anymore, I could remove it and mount the MB-Quart in its place. This would allow me to use the CD-Changer mount for a 4-Channel amp to power the dash and rear speakers if I find the head unit lacks sufficient power.

I will try out the sound on the head unit and MB Quart for a few weeks before deciding whether I need a second amp. Adding more equipment may not provide a significant improvement in sound quality.
