If its one of your buddies , don't take his money. You might some help doing something one day. it would eat at my conscience knowin I took my friends money.

I vary rarely charge anyone.

You said he's your friend or just someone you know?

If its a buddy I just tell them fuckit I had my fun.(and I know its done rite and that makes me feel better. It scares the shit out of me when I see some of the stuff I see.)

Thats just me though.

that makes a world of difference and weather or not he has an aftermarket stereo with rca outs or are you gonna have to do kickdowns off the speakers.....

thats why i gave that range. 50 with aftermarker and preouts up to 70 with stock and needing a LOC

i wouldnt charge ...just tell him to bring the beer and call it a day

I wont charge friends, but a Freind OF A friend, maybe.... If he's down to help out and learn I wouldn't charge. If it was me doing all the work, fuck that.

Its your friend, I wouldnt feel like a friend if I charged him.

Plus most my friends are skilled in other departments that I am not, like auto mechanics, so helping out your bro for free, may pay off sometime in the future.

esp if he had a stereo in it before and its all pre wired, then its a breeze to install amp(s) and tune it.

Most shops by me charge 50-60 a hour, ill do things for 20-30 depending on what it is and who its for.

I usually charge $40, mainly if they have the stuff, know what they needed etc. $60+materials if they dont know anything about audio, and choose to have me run and get the supplies.

But for my homies i never charge. I mean i see it like this. Some dude i see or my bro or something needs something installed. I figure i hook them up, it works well, sounds good, that points on me. They know someone who knows someone that needs something installed, my name gets popped in "well my bro ..... installed mine, craps knockin, come here it..etc..etc.." then the money comes to me. I dont charge friends unless they need a whole box built or something, then they throw me gas+materials$$

How much do you make an hour at your job before tax? How much is your time and experience worth to you? Charge what seems fair. You make 10 an hour but think you're worth 20 charge somewhere in between.
