Nice guys, Wow I was quoted $2600 today for JL speakers/tweeters rear speakers, 2 channel amp for 8" sub with a custom sub box to fit into the back pocket of the Z. I thought that was a lot, but no where near 7k.

You can save a lot of $$$ if you buy parts online instead of paying shop prices...

Most shops will not like installing stuff you brought to them.

Plus stuff like mine you do not want to skim an price and get burned on the warranty.
