How much would I be over paying?


Recommended Posts

It seems about right in line with what I'd expect.

If it's a good shop most of what you're paying for will be continued service after the install.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

From a shops point of view that seems about right.

just like they said up there I would ditch the tweets.

If they let you bring your own equipment I would look into different equipment and have them install it for you. Will save you a bunch of $

Since I'm very new to car audio, what equipment should I bring in for them to install instead of installing their own?

Its hard to tell you what equipment to get. There is a ton out there. Best bet is to do a lot of research and looking around seeing whats out there. This site is full of great info.

Hell you are from FL. There are a bunch of people from Fl on here maybe you can hook up with them and they can help you out

Well thank you very much helping me out! I really appreciate it!

Yeah it's not the shops integrity I doubt, just the price. How much do you think I'd save in install price if I took out the sound dampeners, because I'd imagine that's a very involved process if It's the whole door on both sides.

$1700 is a lot of money. Take your time and get what you want and not what the shop tells you. Ask questions here before you buy and that will help you and probably save you a money.

You can get a great sounding front stage with that $1700. Take your time though.

Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston. Your own parents hated you even before you were born.

My penis is bigger than your penis

I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle.

I have another question, how much would I save in install price if I took out the sound dampener completely. I would imagine its a very involved process.

its hard to say cause they don't break down the labor.

If you want a cleaner sound, you need to add the sound materials.

Your invoice shows 2 for the quantity of speakers. Are they sold individually, or are you getting two sets? If they are all going in the front doors, there is obvious labor to make them fit.

Ask them I'm sure they will tell you.

I will say though you would get much more for your money if you did the install yourself.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
