Plug & Play is overrated. Even a nitwit like me was able to install my Rockford Fosgate and 4 speakers with the help of all of the gurus on this forum. Total of my install was around $400, which is a lot less than any plug and play and infinitely better in quality and power.

When installing an amp, there is nothing "plug and play" when you are running a 10ga power wire from the battery to the amp, and running a 10 ga wire to a good ground.

I'll leave out the nitwit part but I totally agree here. It's not a difficult task. Takes a little patience and as usual there are a lot of members here to help you through the process. Look at the top of the Audio Forum there is a sticky for step by step instructions. See if you find something that suits what you're going to do. If not, I'll put one together for you
