HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Damn, you must be made of money.
Get on Amazon/eBay, order the speakers and headunit and do it yourself.

I have the same set up minus the headunit.
My speakers were both $50/pair shipped.

I'd say, no. The labor pricing is high as hell. I'd find some friends to help you. There is no reason why it should cost you 50 dollars a set to have speakers put in. A head unit, I could see, but speakers, no.

With the info on this site and some patience, you could do the install yourself and save some cash.

Here are some links.

Shouldn't take you more than a couple hours.

But, if you want to spend hundreds more than you need to... go for it.

don't pay for installation... im sure you can do it.

speakers are simple as can be... see if you know anyone who's done a headunit install, im sure they'll help you out (or tempt them with beers, you'll still be ahead, hell, buy them dinner and you still ahead - $75 is too much)

shop around and get other shops to beat others prices... worth the running around... good luck bro

I'd buy and install the audio myself, save nearly half what they're asking... then use that money towards wheels.

damn...take some ky w/ you. Looks like they wanna rape you w/ no lube

Im w/ everyone else, save your money a DIY. The head unit is cake since you were gonna spend a billion $$$ on install go to best buy or something and get the plug n play wiring harness. You do nothing but take the dash kit out and plug and play! Speaker are 2 wires and 4 bolts or screws

[hybrid90accord]

Wow....what shop gave you that install quote???????? best Buy and Circuit city(whats left of them) dont even charge that much for speaker installs and we(my shop) dont charge that much either... I see nothing wrong with paying for services but $100 for 4 speakers is a bit high and that not including speaker harness adapters (its 2008 we shouldnt still be cutting wires, when they make adapter for less then $5 lol) thats crazy my friend

[jcoleman_11]

i would definetly feel raped if i paid that much, thats crazy!!

dont do it dude, you say you dont have the time, but what are you goignt o be doing while they are installing all that stuff, most likely just waiting around. So instead of wasting that tiem waiting, do it yourself. it may take you a little longer, but its worth the money you'll be saving.

Local shop call HPracing Best buy wanted 532 for everything. But my buddy Sean said his shop could do it for $ 758 but i would be getting Polk speakers with components and a JVC headunit with sub out puts and wired up Ipod jack also he said he would wire my MTX Dual 12 and alpine amp up for free and Dinomat my trunk.
