Install shop changed prices on me

[Atimm693 10+ year member]

These are our shop rates
Deck=$55

HD tuner=$20

Amps=$70 each

Comps in factory locations=$75

Comps cutting holes for tweeters=$100

So what does that come out to.......$300 on the high side.

With the price of copper now, 0ga is up to $10 a foot, so if you need lets say 20 feet for power and ground.........=$200

Now you need an 0ga fuse holder.......=$40ish

Now you need distro blocks for your 0ga so you can run the proper size wire to your amps.....=$25ish each.

Now you need 4ga or 8ga to go to the amps..........=$20 or so.

So lets now get our grand total for PARTS and labor.

Labor=$300

Parts=$310 or so

grand total=$610 or so plus tax on the parts.

So I would say it's about $400 too much.

10 bucks a foot is rather high, tinned fleks cable from knu is only 3.50 a foot.

If you don't believe me, heres a link.

I'm not doubting your knowledge or dissing your shop or anything, just saying.

That same website also has 1/0 fuse holders for 20.00 as well.

OP:

They are raping you, make them go down or something. 1k is ridiculous for an install.

His wire is apparently far superior to the Knu.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I don't make the wire like do, so I have a middle man. Middle man=more money.

And I agree a $1000 is WAY to high, never said it wasn't.

Your right, most of them do, but not all.

Very good price, would seem that guy is barely making anything

Yeah I know, I posted it over on another forum and they said it was wayyy too high so I spent my $100 deposit and went to a cheaper shop.

Got it for $500 with a custom closed off trunk but I sacrificed the quality install from them, this shop was horrible wires everywhere.

I got it redone again at SoundFX in Lewes, DE, they did one of the cleanest installs, running wire I've ever seen.

So would you still tell him to go there? How much did it cost to fix the install?
