Planning a stereo system for when my Nismo shows up

Naenyn · 09-19-2012, 12:36 AM

Was quoted the following from a local audio shop:

Kenwood DDX419 =349.90
Dash kit =92.95 ( http://www.bestkits.com/results.php?modelkey=1419 )
Wire harness = 19.95
Antenna adt. 19.90
Steering wheel controls =84.90 (is this really needed?)
JL Audio C3 comp. set.= 429.90 pr
JL audio hd900/5 amp = 999.90
JL Audio 370z stealth box =949.90
4 gauge Amp kit =139.90
Sub total parts =3517.10

Labor radio = 85.00
Labor steering wheel adt = 130.00
Labor comp. speakers = 100.00 pr
Labor 5 channel amp = 100.00
Labor Stealth box = 65.00
Sub total labor = 580.00

So:
$ 3517.10
Tax 309.50
Labor 580.00
= 4406.60

He said he'd do it for $3900 as I'd be a repeat customer.

Oh, he'd also charge $800 for sound deadening (includes hatch, doors, and roof; I haven't even realized the roof was an issue).

Seems a bit on the high side .. I was hoping to be closer to 3k. Can't decide what to do... What do you guys think? Is this a reasonable deal?

I understand that the components are expensive, but is the labor as well?

The same shop quoted me $800 for parts/labor to install the later list of components I listed. Not sure if that is good or not.

The labor is questionable but the parts yes.
