around my area,
HU install is 50
speakers (each pair): 40
amp wiring: 90
sub (each): 50

thats for just basic stuff, the better equipment you have, the more they are going to want to charge you.....consider doing it yourself? its not terribly difficult

Just a quick list of prices here:
  • HU - 45 (0 if bought from us)
  • 2spks - 35
  • 4spks - 70
  • Components - 60
  • Indash Monitor (no nav) - 98
  • Nav -150-200
  • 4ch - 80
  • 2ch - 70
  • Basic Box - 135
  • Basic Fglas Enclosure - 450
This is all BASIC prices. If modifications must be done OR past equipment was installed by anyone else we tack on at least 20$ per job.

Jeezus, guess you can rake in the money that way huh.

Funny thing is I was offered a a job twice at a privatley owned shop, but it was to far to drive.
They must not have ever seen my truck or else they would have probaby been sorry they asked The install in my last two trucks is crap compared too what I have/can do, short of fiberglass. Only so much you can do without fiberglass too unfortunatley.

thanks guys for the answers..the guy at the shop told me 200 just to take out the damn indash and the system and 100 to take out my factory speakers and factory 6cd changer and then another 100 to install both..guessing he feels bad that hes ripping me off that hes only doing it for another 100..but oh well its worth it..ill post pics when i get it installed..i have to have both trucks in the shop for 2 days he said..
