Custom Audio Install (price check)
So I have been quoted from a shop by me for the following items to be installed into my IS350,
2x jl 10w3 subs
1x xd800/8 amp (for speakers)
1x xd1000/1 amp (for subs)
1x Audison Bit Ten Processor
Custom boxes, Dynamatting etc
Quoted for $3000, out of curiosity does this sound like a fair deal, I checked around for all the parts and normally would attempt this type of thing myself minus the custom boxes/dynamatting, and it seems to add up to around $2500 or so, so + labor $3000 to me sounds like a good deal, but then again I can be dumb.
Any insight would be appreciated,
also if this is posted in the wrong area please move it, but being on the newer side I didn't quite know where to put it.
thanks.

Sounds fair. The Audison is a nice product and great quality. If you've added up the prices of that equipment and came out with that figure and add in the amount of labor hours, then you're probably fine. Most shops charge $90/HR for labor. You can ask how many hours they plan to estimate on this job. It'll sound good. Here is what I did in my ride since you're a JL fan like I am.

Correct, no other speakers would be included, am I correct to think if I wanted to upgrade the rest of the speakers I could pretty much just swap them out, or would I have to run completely new lines, from a tuning perspective I like to believe I could figure out how to re-tune the new ones once swapped. Normally I would do this type of thing myself for the subs and such too but I just don't have the time these days to throw at ripping the car apart to run lines and such.
Thanks for all the replies, I contacted the shop and stated that once I get my finances in order I will contact them in the future to set up a appointment. I was also told that they are willing to work on the end price a tad as well if it ends up in a sure fire sale for them.

That sounds pretty reasonable to me. I just went with 2 12w3's and a XD 1000 with a custom enclosure and mine came out to $2,000 from a very good experienced local shop. I'm gonna do door speakers and amps in a couple of months !!! These are my first JL's but I think they bump nicely!! You'll love your setup!! I swear I think it sounds better as the speakers and Amp break in too!!!
