Does this sound like a legit upgrade package?

[QUOTE="BCotrell, post: 8693556, member: 666314"] This is becoming a quintessential new guy post. will not call you noob because you seem to have shown decent interest in input that’s being given. However your approach at getting quotes is still questionable 1. don’t get another quote by stating or even eluding that you don’t have equipment or that you don’t know what you want. Even an independent installer is gonna smell the new blood and try to get some extra doll hairs. You’re getting plenty of solid gear recommendations here. The quotes you’re getting are for “awesome” level pricing with “basement” level gear and required install competency. 2. Don’t give a second response to a guy that won’t install the gear you buy. Simply assure them you know what you want (hu, comp set, amp, sub, deadening) and the gear will be new. The specific models you buy largely wont impact general time needed to do the install. 3. even if you paid $100/hr for five hours (will be less for sure if you do sealed box prefab and don’t upgrade your door speakers, you’re still well h set 2k. Those quotes you’re receiving are atrocious when you factor many of them are overcharging hours and selling you meh gear with markups that only fill their pockets more. [/QUOTE]
