Jcrow Posted October 21, 2005 Report Posted October 21, 2005 for installing an amp, a 2-12 box, and running the wires? Quote
jeremy Posted October 21, 2005 Report Posted October 21, 2005 I wouldn't ever pay to have an amp installed, but most shops around here charge between $40-80 per install. Quote
Jcrow Posted October 21, 2005 Author Report Posted October 21, 2005 A friend of a friend bought all this stereo stuff and dosent know what he is doing, so I was called in to rescue Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted October 21, 2005 Report Posted October 21, 2005 well you gotta figure most shops (around here) will charge 60 bucks an hour, so if it takes you 2 hours, theres 120, but to be fair call it like 90. Quote
jdcutty Posted October 21, 2005 Report Posted October 21, 2005 I usually do them for around 50 bucks, depending on the difficulty of the install. Quote
stockgp Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 the shop i used to work in charged 50 bucks per item. if it's for a friend, i'll usually do it for the cost of a couple burgers Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 the shop i used to work in charged 50 bucks per item. if it's for a friend, i'll usually do it for the cost of a couple burgers I was gonna say the same thing but if you read closer he says friend of a friend. I think $90 would be fair, no more than that though. Quote
stockgp Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 oh, didn't see the friend of a friend part. 90 bucks sounds about fair. Quote
1990lumina Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Yeah me neither, I was just about to say a case of beer lol... Quote
badassoldspower Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Free!!!! If you lived near me i would do it for nothin Quote
slick Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 My place charges $60 to install. A few other places around town range from $60-$150. Personally, for a friend, I would charge no more than $30. Quote
Garrett Powered Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 I saw a friend of mine try twisting a wire together on a 6x9 and made me mad so I bought and installed an entire system from the battery to the amp, and re wired the whole system. We built a wheelewll enclosure with an amp enclosure and I let him borrow my Mobile ES Sony 4 channel amp all for free. Oh yea, and I gave him a sub I had laying around and he has a single 10 firing up at the back glass All for free, beat that. I installed it all, all he had to do is run the deli while I pimped his ride. Quote
96GranSport Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Hell, back in the day I would say a case of beer would cover it. Nowdays, I don't drink that much so... Quote
Jcrow Posted November 3, 2005 Author Report Posted November 3, 2005 Well, I did it, I only charged him $60. I got lucky and ran the remote wire to his trunk mounted CD changer power. So when you turn on the cd player, the amp comes on. Sounds good Quote

Jcrow Posted November 4, 2005 Author Report Posted November 4, 2005 He can listen to the radio just fine, and there was no jimmy rigging. Quote
