I would get a list of the other shops. and base your prices off of their prices

Depends on your location, your quality of work, amount of local competition, their quality of work, etc.

charge about 25% more than all your competitors ...that way people will know they are getting quality work when they come to you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i don't own a shop or anything, just helped people out.

this is how it goes.

Amp $40

Subs $25 (depending on making a box or whatever)

HU $30

Speaker $20/pair

It should be hours based but this just seemed easier. Though I probaby get shortedmost the time

If you are competent, charge by the hour. Somewhere between $40 and $75 per hour, depending on what your local economy will support, and what your skills will demand. If you are not competent (ie: fast), charge by the job until you become competent.

ok cool. did some work installing a comp set in a car and charged him 40. it was a pontiac vibe car. they were pioneer comp set and coaxles he had bought at wal mart im guessing. comps in front coax in back and it sounded great for a pioneer on a stock HU. for what he paid i prob could have gotten him better tho.

Not to judge you, or question your work...

But I found your homepage... where your current main project is a 8Cf sealed box, containing alpine as well as MTX subwoofers?

Am I correct in saying this? If in fact I am, id start doing a little more research in mobile audio before you go any further.
