1800 for Eclipse Nav installed from authorized dealer.
Boston 6.5 component speakers SL60 from authorized dealer at 225,
Eclipse 5ch amp at 200 ebay.
Eclipse rear speakers at 75 ebay.
Eclipse 10" woofer 70 ebay.
Corner box from forum member (mike, he also sells at ebay) at 200 ( i think)
Rockford 8ga amp kit, Audiobann speaker wire, Rockford 6 ch RCAs at about 70 ebay.

Install with friend and paid 120.
A few drinks and small parts (like bolts, double side tape) about 25.

So.. about 2800. but nav insalled price was 1800. so 1k for rest of audio install include beautiful corner box.

 

I'm in the $5k range alone just for parts. Add another $500+ for all the wood and **** (and 5 or 6 times I've redone it). Add another $100-200 for carpeting and carbon fiber material cost. Add a few thosand for installation cost if I wouldn't have done the work myself. I'm probably like $7500+ for 7 speakers (no rear speakers), no video, and only one sub .

 

Thanks for all the reponses, very interesting. Some of you have killer systems, WOW!!!! I wonder who has the most expensive system here?

 

Thats an easy answer........ big-al on this forum (from AudioMobile). He's at least got one of the most expensive.

 

Let's see:

499-h/u

539-speakers

400-amp

250-basslink

350-install

250-miscellaneous (dyna, adapter, xm)

 

400 for HU (new, but ~half price off regular retail)
250 for Amps (used, ebay)
130 for sub Box (new)
150 for LCD (new)
140 for front Speakers (w/ discount best buy)
80 for rear Speakers (w/ discount best buy)
130 for Sub (w/ discount best buy)
80 in wiring (w/ discount best buy)
10 dynomat (w/ discount best buy)
30 for wood for my self-made amp rack (w.i.p.)

Total $1480, regular retail total would be around ~$2000, if everything was m.s.r.p. maybe around $3000

 

Don't ask...

 

Damn, looking at your system pics...holy crap. 15-20k?

 

Somewhere around there. The whole job consists of 8 fiberglasses pieces all fitting like a puzzle. This next week will be the start of a new project. Headliner, visors, and interior doors. Here are pics of the install. Also, checkout the custom Power Wheels that they just finished.

I have spent about $3800 on everything. I still need a center speaker for true 5.1 sound. Also want to add an X Box, PS2, and whatever is needed to run those. I have the screen and a system that wil support them but need the power device. I could also use some better front speakers.

$5400 including labor for install:

Sony WX 7700MDX head unit
Sony Xplod 10 disc changer in storage bin behind passenger seat
JL 500/5 amp mounted on custom platform in spare tire well in trunk, backlit with blue neon, under clear plexiglass cover
Focal K2P65front/CV65 rear speakers
JLW3v2 10" sub in custom enclosure in the stock sub location

Very happy with the look and the sound

 

Holy Hell. Do you drive it or is it a show car? Looks sick.

Any idea of how much weight was added?

 

ugh.... around 1300 down, $1000000000000000000000000000 more to go...

 

what you spent and what you got for it makes a difference...

 

After next week, I'll be in the $6,500+ range. I am getting A LOT of custom fiberglassing done. Box, amp rack behind driver's seat, etc.

 

Lets just say before the install I had almost a 3 finger gap between the rear tire and fender. Now I only have a one finger gap.

 

6k

 

About $3500 while doing the labor myself.

There is a point of diminshing returns ... which I passed about $1500 ago.

 

well.. id add mine up, but then id probably just fall out of my chair and freak out.. so im not gonna do that.
