    Default Custom Install

    I have a 97 Accord. I was wanting to get some prices on doing a custom install for my system. 2 Amps, 2 15's, and a cap. Some nice plexiglass or fiberglass work. Maybe even flush mounting. LMK what ya'll can do. Thanks.

    I know my bother in law can do it. He will need to see your car and get a more accurate idea of what you want before he can quote it though. That goes for pretty much anything though. Where are you at?

    I think you are going to be hard pressed to find a shop willing to even discuss fiberglass for under $1000. A lot of VERY VERY nice installs can be done without fiberglass, dont think that just becuase it isnt glass it has to be a simple carpeted box.

    if you have all the gear, then just a glass and plexi box is going to cost about 500. then figure about 200 or so to install everything else.

    most shops charge between 50 and 70 an hour on labor and glass boxes are alot of labor, especially if you want it painted.

    Good luck. Doing any type of glass work(painted) is going to set you back. Depends which way you go,wild-mild.

    YEA...IM AN ASSHOLE

    That is for his setup (the 2 diamond 15s). If you are talking about the beige BMW, i would guess conservatively $4000ish for labor alone. Most places wont even entertain the idea of glass (let alone getting it smooth enough to paint) for under $3000ish. Thats just been my experience though.

    my install everything with the equipment was about 4000 dollars but the equipment was expensive also the gold bimmer with equipment will run you about 6is if not more. so it all depends on how good you want to look and sound

    what kind of equipment do you have. its hard to just give a quote for 2 15's going into a accord. the box for the 2 15's has to be pretty much built into the car. im almost positive there is no premade box that will fit. another good thing to take into consideration is a sound dampining material. your whole trunk at the least should be covered or your going to hate the way your system sounds. also in the hondas based on experience the floor is real flimsy and that box is going to be heavy. you might have to give up ur spare tire and get a nice false floor. something that will flow with the box. were your going to put your amps how big yor amps are stuff like that. last but not least is material. capet,suede,vinyl,leather,. if you tell me exactly what you want i can call my buddy john he did my whole install. i can prolly get you a good deal. but just let me know
