DFW area installer needed

[manhster]

Hello,

I live in the DFW area. I recently purchased a new HU (Alpine IDA X100), 4channel amp (Alpine MRP F450), a mono amp (Kicker ZX750.1), two subs (Kicker CVT102), and a sealed box from supercrewsounds.com. I drive a 2001 Ford F150 Supercrew.

I have never put a stereo in and don't feel comfortable doing it. I also don't really want to pay another $1000 for the install. Can anyone refer me to a reputable installer that won't charge an arm and a leg like the major car audio stores would? Either that or if anyone can give me an idea of what an install like this should cost. I don't want to get taken. I went to the car toys in plano, and their install prices seemed pretty outrageous. For example, they wanted to charge like $40 just to install the ipod cable. That seems pretty high just to drill a hole into the glove box. I read that the car toys in lewisville is kind of pricey, but they treat you well, and do a good job. I know you get what you pay for, but I was thinking if there was a technician that does work on the side, it would be cheaper than at the store, with the same quality work.

Any help will be appreciated. I have received all of the electronics, just waiting on the box. It should arrive between 3/10 and 3/13. So soon after that I would like to get it installed.

Thank you in advance.

I live in McKinney, but would travel to anywhere in the DFW area.

I dont know if they still have the same installers as they did then, but about 3 years ago I had good experiences with the Tweeter in Frisco, however they probably won't be the cheapest out there... but helpful and did a clean job with my BMW.

Tweeter is pretty much gone from the DFW area.

PM mokedaddy. He's in Fort Worth/Keller/Watauga. He worked with me, and he's got the tools, know-how, and time. He worked with me for quite some time, until the owner of our company started pulling some retarded shit.

Heh, guess it's been a while since I've been back, sorry. Earmark still around? Never had anything installed there but they had nice product.

Go to the competition section of the forum.

Wait till you see a build day that will work with your schedule.
