Mr. 973808 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 I just wanna know how much did some of you guys charge for installs and builds when you first started off? Quote THE GRADUATE 10:18:2007
audiofanaticz Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 Im cheap.. lol I will put a headunit in for $20. Owner pays/provides the harness and dash kit if needed and ill supply the solder and shrink tubing. I will build a basic box for $100. Basic meaning average sized, single baffle, 1 chamber. Owner pays/provides for wood (ill supply screws, glue). Carpeting, resin will cost extra depending on box. I will install a amp for $50. This would be running 1 power wire(ran through the fire wall NOT THE DOOR JAM)/remote/rca cord(s) from front to back. Owner pays/provides needed wiring. I think the prices are fair. Most shops will charge $50 for a headunit install unless you buy it from them, most prefab boxes are priced $150 plus, and at least $100 to run wire and install a amp. Quote
talentfinder36 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 I own a shop so for a headunit install i'll charge $50-$75 and try to sell the harness, dash kit and other accessories putting them at $100 Building boxes MDF - $150 + Custom Fiberglass - $250 + Installing Speakers $200+ The prices are very flexible but that is normally how I gauge it.

AI James Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 pretty much free if were just shooting the crap and your providing the liquid beverage of choice (rockstar) and lending a hand Quote
20inBMX Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 friends= no charge if you're not my friend then there is probably a reason so I wouldn't even do it... Quote
01xtreme Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 friends= no charge if you're not my friend then there is probably a reason so I wouldn't even do it... Im the same way. I refue to charge my friends to do shit to their cars, cause they all help me so much with my truck. If I am not friends it is about what audiofanaticz charges. if I dont want to do it, I usualy just price it too high, and they find someone else.
