How much should my install cost?

[bamaster 10+ year member]

I'll be having my gear installed by a local shop.

Head unit, components in the doors, two subs in custom enclosure, and amp rack for three amps.

No, I don't want to do it myself so that's out of the question. How much should this run me?

One of my local shops wanted to charge me 500 bucks for a similar set up like yours. The cheapest quote I got from a local shop was 250.

Btw, I was providing all the material for installation etc.

I was like F THAT SHIT!! I ended up doing it myself and save'd major moniezz.

if you are getting a custom enclosure built and if you dont already have the wiring for the amps, ill say $650-$1000

its just all the little stuff there gona charge him. wires harness etc. its gona be bad bro there gona be like your gona need this that and the other. and there gona make it like they did so much and sell u the idea that its gona sound great and even if it does or does not its gona cost u a arm and leg. I do ask u this u say u wont do it your self ,your on a car audio forum theres alot of threads that will help u get the stuff in your car. Ask your self this what if there is an issue and its late at night or the shop is closed or u cant bring the car back what are u gona do . You should learn what your doin first and then go for it bro .
