[QUOTE="milellie111, post: 1010692, member: 558853"] Hey guy's i just got my stereo installed yesterday in my 02 Acura TL from a Sunroof and leather upholstery shop. The reason why i went there is because there is a guy who works there that does stereo installations, 12 years of install experience at shops and a MCEP certified and was pretty much the only one who would touch my stuff with out running new wires and RCA's because i already had the 4 guage wire in and RCA's hooked up. Believe me, i checked with tweeter, Myer Emco and other places and i would have had to started fresh. Anyway, compared to other shops, do you think that i was charged resonably? I had all of the equipment. This is what the guy did: Wired 2 alpine Type r's in the box, Built and carpeted an amp rack that stretches all the way across the back of my seats, hooked up the 4 channel MB quart RA4200 amp and the mono MB QUart RA1000 and ran the remote bass gain knob, purchased a Phonenix Gold fused distribution block with LED, installed a 1 farad cap, the only thing he had to purchase that i didn't already have was extra 4 guage wire and connectors for the amp and fuses for the battery. Dymatted the entire trunk and trunk lid with dynamat extreme, removed my stock bose subwoofer, installed CDT coaxials in the back doors and ran them off of the rear channels of my 4 channel amp. Installed my CDT tweeters up front with my components. Tweak all settings and crossovers on the amp. It took him 2 day's to finish everything, and it sounds awesome! Loud and clean The shop charged me $720 dollars total, they did hourly rate because they are not a stereo shop with set installation prices.
