that would depend on overhead and the 2/3. time, price, and quality of the install... pick 2 out of the 3.
our shop kinna flat rated things. doing this everyday we can knock some decks out in 5 mins. but we still charge the flat $60 on standard decks.

wasn't looking at the overhead as much as what might be an industry average. I guess if your at $80/hour and you do a good job it may be worth it, even if your in a small back alley shop. Now if your at $90/hour with a big fancy shop, doesn't really mean they know what there doing or worth the money.
I would think $60.00 is fair for a radio standard deck install. Any others thoughts?

The cheapest labor rate I see anymore is $65/hr. Now that doesn't mean that anybody working out of there drive way can charge prices like that though.

It is all about what it is worth to you and the customer. If you are the only guy for 200 miles, you charge more. If you have 30 shops in a mile, you charge less. You have to make it so that it is just a tad cheaper to come to you, than travel to another place. It is all about convenience for some people.

I think most places around here get about $150 an hour

yeah I think so $150 an hour plus parts so a basic deck around here runs over $200 in most cases

don't forget you need to include dash kit, wiring equipment ie solder or crimps, wiring harness.

understood, but was more interested in labor. Knowing some cars need modules and full large dash kits can definitely change things.
But interested in hearing what is fair install hourly rate around the country.
Thank you everyone for the input.
