hey guys,
I was just offered a sub and amp from a buddy of mine. The sub is and alpine type r 10 inch sub and the amp label came off. Hes runnin it in his big diesel truck right now so i know it works well. I was just wondering two things. 1. The price is 150. good or bad price? and 2. i have the bose system so to install i would just unplug stock sub and amp and plug mine in? or not that simple? thanx ahead for any feedback!!

 

Good sub. Good price depending on what the amp is. However not a simple install you'll need a wiring kit for sure and I'm not sure if you can add an amp/sub to the stock Bose system I'm sure someone else will chime in though

 

Good price, assuming the box and amp are decent.

You'll have to run new power and ground wires for the amp, otherwise, you're pretty much just looking to follow this thread here:

Sweetness....thanx guys...a local audio store in town that has worked on g's before quoted me 450 for parts and labor on install....havent decided if ill bite the bullit on that yet or not

 

I'm sure you could do it yourself for less than $100

 

parts and labor ?? or you can say an arm and a leg !!

dont bite.. they are charging you like crazy

read the DIY it is simple and easy...

 

Ya think? Im not exactly experienced in audio but im not an idiot either lol....ive been trying to research some of the diys on here. Not a whole lot of info in clear concise english lol

 

Didnt see dR6 diy before....sounds fairly basic...i might just have to try it.

 

What parts are you getting for the $450? a sub? box? amp? wiring?

Also, if you feel like coming south to Savannah, I'll do the labor for about $450 less than that shop.

 

The parts were 99 for the LOC and then 89 for wiring kit....then 3 hours of labor....420 if i have box and then 500 if he supllies box

 

If i still lived in charlotte id be down there in a heartbeat!!!!

Btw if anyone has anything that is even close to the 4080 style 10 in sub box that you want to sell me cheap lemme know=]

 

LOC: ~$10. Single-amp wiring kit: $30. Generic box: $30-50.

I'd get it elsewhere, that place really seems like they're just charging whatever they think you'll pay.

If you can find a 4080/boxology box, expect to pay $300+ easily.

 

I know might try to build one but im thinkin just generic to start out! Wrathernaut
....ur awesome btw!!!

 

So i was a subwoofer virgin just like you, and it's tough! I was given a subwoofer for free so i wanted to use it! It took me a good 6 months to get everything together how i wanted it with a lot of help from forums. But what i would suggest is search craigslist for how someone who makes custom boxes. I got an awesome one for my coupe that fits perfectly with some extra room for only $150. Then i got the amp wire at a best buy that was closing for 75% off! I knew it would be a bad idea for me to do the install, so i went to a place, and it was only $150 for the labor which i thought was fair. If you try doing it yourself, i think you'll be wayy in over your head trying to run wiring across the whole car, figuring out where to put the amp and all that. But buy all the supplies online! Much cheaper!!!
