[QUOTE="Fuzion64, post: 8190222, member: 658588"] I recently had a set of alpine type s component speakers + a pioneer deh-mp-150 head unit installed in my 2001 corvette Z06. The total cost for all of that together was $516.58 (alpine 610c type s speakers, pioneer deh-150-mp head unit, and install cost) It breaks down like this $99.90 for the 610c component speakers themselves $150.00 for 610c install cost $10.50 for shop parts $24.10 for tax. Total = $ 284.50 Just for the speakers alone They had to remove the bose 8" subs and 3.5" tweeters component setup, then fabricate a brand new 6.5" speaker plate setup just for the doors so the type s speakers would fit. There is not 8" + 3.5" adapter plates sold at all and because its a corvette with the factory bose system it required a few extra parts to even install a new head unit capable of playing mp3's stored on an iPhone. $69.96 for pioneer DEH-MP-150 head unit $19.98 for a 92 up chevy kit $19.98 for GM 89 and up wire harness adapter $19.98 for 88 up GM Micro Delco Antenna Adaptor Aft Mkt Radio $65.00 labor $4.55 was shop parts $18.45 tax Total for headunit install $217.90 Total car audio setup $217.90+$284.50 = $516.58 Now my whole reason for posting this is, because I am curious if this price was reasonable for the average budget minded install cost. I kind of feel like I overpaid when you consider $195.00 of the $516.58 was labor alone and $229.80 was parts alone. Do you guys think this was a reasonable install cost? The shop took 4 hours for the whole install Just looking over the two receipts and thinking wow that was very expensive. Edit: I left off the additional $14.18 for the 3.5mm aux wire to connect the iPhone to my DEH-MP-150 [IMG]http://content1.meetmecdna.com/thumb_userimages/large/2013/11/08/12/thm_phpX5Rz60.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://content1.meetmecdna.com/thumb_userimages/large/2013/11/08/12/thm_phpPqT9pJ.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://content1.meetmecdna.com/thumb_userimages/large/2013/11/08/00/thm_phpzsj6k6.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://content1.meetmecdna.com/thumb_userimages/large/2013/11/08/00/thm_phpkAD7XD.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
