How much would it cost to have 2 humbucker pickups installed in your guitar?
It varies on the kind of pickups you're putting in. If they're passive, meaning that they don't require batteries, then it will be cheaper. Active pickup installation can go as high as 80$.
What is a passive pickup on a guitar?
Most pickups are passive but over the last several years active pickups (powered by batteries) have become popular with some players (like David Gilmour). EMG pickups are some of the more popular active pickups.
Do you need a special cord for a guitar with active pickups?

Do active pickups make a guitar squeal?
No. Active pickups will not make a guitar "squeal". If they make a guitar squeal, then you've done something wrong in the process of installing them, but I have no idea what would cause it to squeal. Unless you are talking about the technique used commonly in guitar-oriented rock, metal music. In which case, it has to do with your technique. If you just hit a note, it's not going to scream. If you hit an artificial harmonic and maybe throw in some action with a Floyd Rose (or other) locking tremolo system, then you'll get somewhere. EMGs (or other active pickups) require you to hear them for yourself and decide what you think. There are many passive pickups that will give you a load of treble response for those solos up above the fifteenth fret and for harmonics. EMG active pickups are NOT HOT at all. They are just extremely clear. Seymour Duncan Blackouts, on the other hand, are very very hot and will give you the absolutely insane distortion commonly found in the music made by Children of Bodom and Godsmack. I hope you weren't looking for a short answer.
Can you install emg pickups in your Jackson rr5fr?
you can put them on any guitar from walmart guitars to any real guitar like your RR5. It'll cost a bit extra to re-wire the guitar to fit the EMGs in it as they take out all the old electronics but if you really want to go active by all means. Once they're in its the easiest thing in the world to switch them to other active pickups.

What are the advantages of active over passive guitar pickups?
*actives have less hum which to an unexperienced player they wont hear it *active pickups are easier to swap, unplug the pickup, put the other in sort of like a video game controller... no wire soldering skills required. *there are 100s of passive pickups and only few actives pros use *passive pickups are cheaper *passive require no batteries like actives *passive pickups are cheaper to swap out (less work required is the reason) *passive pickups don't sound as sterile as say EMG pickups , blackouts are more real sounding though. to reduce hum look into pickup covers and copper shielding tape
