about $170.00 depending on where you wanted the amp mounted.

based on
$45.00 speaker install
$50.00 amp install
$75.00 double din install

that does not include amp install kit or the dash kit and install kit for the head unit.




Where in cali are you at? If you are close I will install it for free if you buy all the install material.

i would charge:

double din install: $100-125 depending onif its navi

front and rear sepaker install: $125, and i would be running all new wires into the door and doing everyhing very cleanly. including some dampening of both doors.

amplifier isntall, dpeneond on location, if its say int he bose cubby, with the platform build and the time, including the cost of amp kit: $150-175

making a total of 400 to mid 400 dollar range. and everhting would be done cleanly.

if a shop quotes you 30 or 50 bucks to install all four sepakres in the Z, they are talking about 30mins to one hour of work, and i can tell you, if thats that case, no way are they doing it right, they probably just tape right at the headunit, rip off some stuff here and there, and just probably bolt somethign in place...the end result is that for what equipment you have, things dont sound nearly as good.

1600 including a double din eclipse, zapco amp(s), and focal speakers?!?!? and labor?

uh...you better hope they do a good job, cause thast really kinda cheap...even using cheapest of the stuff under those brands...

just a heads up...when it comes to working on your car, at the end, you want a quality job done, the coupla hundred dollars you save might seem good at one point, but will soon sour and leave a bad taste in your mouth as things dont sound or look as good

good luck!
