How much should I pay to get component speakers installed? I have priced them at three places:
Option 1: Best Buy, $100. Gonna eliminate this one right off the bat.
Option 2: Car Audio specialty place in Boston #1 , $120.
Option 3: Car Audio specialty place in Boston #2 , $340.
The last place says it'll take four hours of labor, which they chart $100/hr for, or $85/hr if I buy the speakers from them.
So one place is charging about three times as much as the other. Is option 2 crazy cheap, or is option 3 crazy expensive? Would I really be messing up if I went the less expensive route?
Kinda comes down to this-- if my budget for component speakers is $600, am I better off getting $480 speakers with $120 install or $260 speakers with $340 install?
I know some people will probably say do it yourself, but I'm dumb with this stuff. You wouldn't want me to install your speakers, so I don't want me to install mine.
