[twisztdauthorit 10+ year member]

Im sure its posted somewhere else on the forum in various different ways but im not sure what to search for?

My gf's sister's Bf wants me to install an amp kit for him and run all the wires etc...

Its just a tiny 4awg kit but atleast he listened and got knukonceptz.

Ill prolly end up running on the wires, rca's, hooking up the amp, and what not

How much should i charge him for this?

my girl bs'ed around with him and said i normally charge 200 but ill do it for 100$ hehe.

Am i overcharging..

This is all in a ford F150 crew cab, at least3-6 years old

the 200 bucks was my gf bulllshittin around.

honestly the worst part for me is running the cable through the firewall.

then all the rca cables up the other side to the headunit....

i prolly wont end up charging him that much..

I just needed some rough ideas ya know...

especially if it goes quickly..

My first install was on an old funcky *** car where u had to unbolt everything... No Easy Snap on/off panels hehe.. took forever

if someone told me 200 bux to run wires, i would just find a way to do it myself

i charge $30-50 depending on who it is and what car it is.

$50 was my initial reaction, oh and pizza or some form of dinner whenever doing work for friends food is involved lol. But if this is a more professional type deal then $50 sounds like a reasonable deal. Heck I would do it just for a large pizza or whatever lol but thats me.

Depending on person/vehicle:

• Friends/Family: $30-50
  
• Acquaintances: $40-65
  
• Referrals: $50-80

Of course, the price goes up if multiple runs/distribution blocks, etc are involved.

X2 on food. Plus a 12 pack! Sounds like a good hour or 2.
