well in this area.. you are looking at

headunit about 60 bucks plus parts

components about 90 bucks plus parts

6x9 about 60 bucks plus parts

amp about 60 bucks plus parts

these are all base prices and go up depending on difficulty of the install. Since you are running a high amp they will have to rerun your speakers wires to the amp so thats some more labor there. Also depending on how you want the components mounted this could add more labor as well.

plus unless you have all the install accessories all the parts they need to supply you with is going to prolly run you at least 100 bucks.

Definately going to be around $300 - 600 to pay to have it installed.

$537? thats a little expensive i think? depends on how much work they have to do to fit the stuff. you might consider finding a forum member near you, most guys here could do your install in a few hours for $200. wires n chit should be about $80??

you could go to the store with the $537 quote and say,

"if you can do it for $450 we have a deal"

what kind of car is this going into? for the install you want to do the materials you will need is an amp kit(which i would get from knukonceptz.com) some speaker wire(radio shack) mounting bracket for for the headunit and a wire harness for a headunit, depending on the car you might need some brackets for the speaker. buying materials form al and eds is going to cost alot i'm guessing the amp kit alone is probably around 70-80 dollars alone. depending on the car i might be able to help you with the install i live about an hour away from the oc.

A few hours? thats a whole days work.

You ever gone to get quotes for installs or are u just assuming what you think it should cost?

i could install all that in like 3-4 hours and usual price is around 60 dollars an hour so

 

[dranom 10+ year member]

the stuff is going in a civic coupe '00. $537 is the exact qoute i got from al and ed. i think i have a wire harness already coz i have a n alpine 9833 on my car right now is it the same harness w/ every HU? thanks for the offer dynamcpunk!

i think 537 is a fair price including parts from a shop as long as they do a very good job at it. They warranty their work im sure so thats always a plus with installs. How did they plan on mounting the comps? They can take an hour by itself easy depending on how you mount them.
