Do it yourself, be a great learning experience and save you a couple hundred bucks [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

A good wiring kit you can pick up for $45-60 depending on where you live...and if you have any wiring questions feel free to ask [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Whoa . . . that was a bit harsh, I think. It WAS just a suggestion, playa. Now to answer your question:

You're looking at anywhere from $150 to $300 if you decide you don't wanna DIY. A wiring kit can be as low as $60 or as expensive as 3 times that, if you want top of the line (or just a specific name brand ) equipment. Hope that helps.

200 sounds about right here in CA...also the pricing of the amp kit varies depending on how powerfull your amp is, what guage wires, if you want RCA included, and so on...


BTW, what makes you think people want to help you if you disrespect them and act immature...makes them feel very wanted...
i just answered your question so i wouldnt be blamed for "PWing" or posting unnecessary replies...

$35 for each pair of speakers, unless your 6.5's are componetnts, in which case, $75 for those.

the amp isntall will be around $75 if its a 2 channel, and $100 if its a 4 channel, the amp install kit is $50 on top of that.

they will lovingly place that 2 10" box in your trunk free of charge [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

sum total, about a quarter over two bucks, you tell the guy that was a little more than you wanted to pay, he will let it go for two bucks out the door.
