Thanks man I will give him a buzz. I live in an apartment building (no garage) and have never done an install myself so I'm looking for a good shop.

Take it up to Mike's Chop Shop up near Great America. Not really a shop, just a fellow enthusiast . If you are willing to help out you could save yourself a lot of money and learn a little as well.

Only shop I would trust with that install is M&K Electronics. That's where I got that amp from. They are high as hell, but they do great work. Hopefully they weren't the shop that quoted you 1900.

You sure you want to tear that car down?

Do you drive a Maybach?

Maybe im out of the loop of shop installs, but that does seem a tad pricey.

wow... do it all yourself.

No it was another one. I have been driving around listening to this wack *** Bose system for 2 years now. I'm sure.

shit I'll do it for 800 bucks all inclusive and I'm in chicago seriously pm me

 

[Hoodlum007 10+ year member]

Wow that is a lot of money for that job. Go to a few other shops and get prices as well.

For a quote of that much, I hope they bring the a*S cream.

2 men for 3 days 8 hours per day at $40 per hour, not unreasonable at all. IMO

This is why all your local shops are closing, eveyone has a friend that will do it for less

What kind of car is it? Idk if I would trust a place called mike's chop shop might drop it off and never see your baby again. But seriously just read up on the forum there's a lot alot alot of helpful threads on here. You could do your whole project your self just have someone build your box for you a nice custom one shouldn't cost you more then 200 bucks and instal that shit. Your setup doesn't sound to hard to do just depends on how much experience you have w/ useing tools and basic car stuff. Plus you get the knowledge and you save a crap load of money.

How would they stay open if they only charged for their installers pay?
