Uh... I just came home from the sound systems place... They said that the door speakers, 2 12's, amp, box and labor will cost 2319 total... Help. Good or bad?

[VICIOUZCHI]

Sounds like alot to me. But it all depends on what type of brands for all your equipment.

[audtatious]

Sounds about right if it includes installation, seperates and multiple amps of good quality.

what brand(s), power ratings, custom or prefab box. i can get audio very inexpensive so that souns like way too much to me.

Well, looking at retail:

Headunit: $200Front components: $350Rear speakers?: $50Subs: $200 ($100 each-ish)front amp: $150 (75x2)sub amp: $300 (monoblock)fuses/interlinks/RCAs: $300Installation: $500 (?)

Comes out around $2,050 - ish for the above. Higher output seperates amp would run up to $400 (the $150 I have listed is for a RF Punch 200.2 which I just bought for 150. Their 550.2 is just under $400). Sub amp could be higher as could just about anything else dependant on quality.

Bit overkill, but I did the same at your age

Personally, I don't call the 200.4 RF amps "old school". To me, the Punch 45/75/150 (pre-HD) are "old school". I'd love to find a old PA1 pre-amp one day to replace my PPI PAR-225.

FWIW, my "old school" a/d/s PH15 just croaked (circa 1990) and I'm still running my JL 12w6 (V1) that I have used since 1993. I think the PAR-225 is from the early 90's as well. My equipment from the early to late 80's are all gone tho.

keep it simple:

alpine HU = $230

swiss audio - - -front components = $75rear coaxials = $40mids/highs amp (50x4) = $90sub amp (500x1) = $1302 one farad caps = $150

prefab box = $100

tsunami wire kit = $40

100 amp circuit breaker instead of fuse = $30

total = $1035

You can do ebay or buy used to save a hell of a lot of cash. BUT, the OP stated "sound system place" and you always expect a premium.
