i have a 97' f150 with the 2 bucket seats and center console and i went to look into gettin me a system and they told me about the jl audio center console which is a 10" or 12" jl sub...they gave me a price quote for the sub,amp,and box which is all jl and installation for a price of $1,055....is that a good price or reasonable?bcuz this is the first time ive bought subs so i dont know how much they run for a usual price.thanks

 

im 17 years old, and im building my own box right behind the center console in my screw, ive only paid around $300, for amp, sub, wood. If you have the money I would buy it, if not then look into building yourself something that is nice, i know they make alot of pre-built boxes for your truck, and spend your money on something in your "soon to have list". thats what i would do!

 

Yikes! Seems way too high to me. If you really like the proposed setup, then take down the model # of each piece & then buy separately on the internet/ebay. You can always go back and "let them" install it.

IMHO, the only way you should pay over $1000 is if you were getting a DVD player/navigation with the system. But even then... I'm putting a DVD/Nav, sub box, and amp in mine this month for under $1000.

 

build your own and punch the guy in the face who gave you the quote

 

yeah well i would build my own but i dont know much about how to build it...but that sounds like a good idea to order each sperately...im gonna go to some other audio places around here and get some more quotes and see whos the cheapest...i just hope it will sound good being in the center console and not under the back seat..the guy said they hit really hard being right next to you..i hope hes telling the truth

 

Dude, that is way too much. I got my subs (2 10" kicker comps, 1 12" cvr), center console, box's (one built, one bought), amps, deck, dash kit, and power cap for 800$. Look on their sight for how deep the subs are and the volume you need. then just do some measuring and math and you can build it.

 

so i can fit 2 subs in my center console not just one?never heard of that one before...but alright thanks guys for the advice,i guess that guy can shove that price up his ***,but im gonna go look around some other audio places and get the price quotes for the same product and ill let you guys know

 

My bad. I have one 12 in my center console and two 10's under the back seat. sorry.

 

well, im new to this site and audio is my thing...i can give you some advice on how much a shop would charge for something or step by step instructions how to do it yourself....si if you havent done anything yet and your stuck hit me up

 

alright da fraser thanks...so u think that is too much for that setup too right?
