How much should I pay for basic install of this stuff into my Z which currently has the Bose system?

 

And

 

And TWO pair of these...

 

And this for power

 

Keep in mind the HU has Nav so that needs to be factored in. All this stuff is sitting at my feet and I can't use it because I am non stereo inclined.

 

go to hifi buys, they are pretty good with this stuff, they typicly charge a fixed hourly rate of 60-70$ an hour I believe.

seems like a pretty basic install, not too much custom work, they should be able to give a good approx of how much.

 

Well, the quotes I have gotten have been in the 500 dollar area and I can't beleive it. Is this reality?

 

If that includes all cables, wires, and adpters, then it sounds right on the money....

 

that is going to cost alot to install.... not counting wires you are looking at about:

basslink $100
speakers $150
amp $100
nav $100

these prices are a little higher than for most cars because the Z is a pain in the *** to do stereo installation. ESPECIALLY with the bose. this is not what i would charge, but probably what you will see at most shops

the interior will have to be stripped to get to everything and it also depends on how you want the wires run to the speakers..

i have done full system installs on several z's and it is an all day job if not a 2 day job

I thought the harman kardon nav is not a headunit.. thought it was nav only????

 

My shop would charge you $220 w/ a life time warranty on installation.

 

toykilla's prices sound about right. I had most of my stuff installed in the Dallas area and are inline with those estimates. You really want to make sure the place you have to do the work is accountalbe because believe me once you take about the interior of the car their will be rattles that appear and is good to be able to take it back in case something isn't done right the first time. Now keep in mine, my stuff was installed before most people even knew the Z was out. Most shops have done installs on the Z so you dont have to be the guinea pig...but its still costs you.

I've used Earmark (Addison) talk to Joe and Tweeters (Addison-Tollway & Alpha) talk to Frank.

Thanks for the help so far everyone.


No, see that button just to the right of the middle of the top of the front of the unit? That is the CD button. It also has radio. Radio is a new feature that many people don't have yet. Is this what you were thinking about? Jk. Or just read what it says right under the picture of the unit...

 

LOL... oops...

anyways... i agree with aggie .... make sure u take the z to a reputable installer... i did everything myself and there are NO RATTLES ... but i used to do installs all the time...
