I'm not sure what priicng is like in the US, but i perfer Hush Mat over Dynamat all day long.
Is this price including an amp? What amp? what model of speakers?

sounds like hes trying to sell you on what he carries in stock....."polks suck, you should get these Arc Audio speakers...btw, i have these in stock. I can give you a great price with an amp/speaker/hushmat combo." sound familiar

Call him up (as another potential customer, maybe you drive a 350z) and try to get the same thing and see what he says. IMO, thats a good way to tell if the shop is legit or not. Not their quality of work, but at least if they are trying to do this to your b-hole
