FOR EXAMPLE: ( I have base Stereo )

my changes are as follows.....might change a bit but here is a rough idea.

Kenwood Headunit - w/nav and Sirus abilites = $635.00

2 Door speakers Focul ( 6'5 with tweeters 1' = 399.00

AMP = 199.00

I Boston G210SS woofer = 129.00

Wire kits/harness = $150.00

Labout to install = $550.00

Total on this is about $1800 to $2000.

You are not going to hear me coming down the street, but should sound pretty good inside the cab.

Good luck

Thats expensive for an install! are you getting custom fiberglass done or something? I went to the best car audio installer in my area (San Diego), and to install the head unit, replace the tweeters and 6.5 components was I was quoted only 95 bucks.

Maybe the sub installation will be more...I didnt want to remove my spare tire for good, so i dont know what that will run.

I get my car on April 14, getting it installed same day.

Well I am glad you mentioned that. Now I feel comfortable negotiating that amount (down). Thank you.

I going to start a post asking that exact question.

I had two 8" subs in a custom made enclosure in my 1990 300ZX. It sat right where the briefcase or parcel shelf was. It rocked! Two 8"s can hit pretty hard and deep, if done right, but the key is the right 8" sub and matching it to the right enclosure with adequate power. I am not familiar with those under seat enclosures you reference.

Hi, thanks for the initial responses. But could someone answer my other, non-labor cost questions above?

Let me know if the enclosures will fit under the seat, and if the speakers will fit in the factory door locations without modification. For example, are 6 3/4" speakers and 1 1/4" tweeters too big? I want to reduce install costs.

Finally, what is the correct Pioneer amp for these speakers and subs? Will I need more than one amp?

Thanks
