Anyone can chime in: Need help from IRAQ
I am looking into doing an install in the C5 when I am on R&R from Iraq next month.
I was wondering on whether sounds-good-stereo.com in Woodland hills California is a good place for the install or are they too pricey?
I already have the JL 500/5 amp and am now just looking into getting the rest of the components.
I was looking at JL 3 ways up front then also JL rears and JL subbox for speakers and I think it is the older model AVN-5435.
What would I be looking at price wise and install for these components?
Any suggestions from you GURUS would be fabulous.
I am in the inland empire area.
Scott_fx, I have asked you this before, but I am now seriously want to do it. Yeah, I know I would only get to hear it for about a week then I have to be back to IRAQ, but that single week would definately be music to my ears.

i dont know about any install places, but i would try having no rear speakers and just stick with the front components and sub in the rear. Try it out, you can always add them later if you think something is missing. I love not having rear speakers, i dont miss them at all. you can install these yourself too. It should take no more than a day to do the install. if you plan on doing sound deadning, then that would take up the whole weekend. But think about doing it your self as well. save yourself a lot of bucks

As for the price on the J.L. stuff, I can tell you if you buy a custom built box as opposed to the JL Stealthbox, you will save money.
I have included some pics of the box I built a few days ago for a customer...you can buy it here... I charge $40 shipped for the MDF speaker plates in the doors, $210 shipped for the subbox, and at the shop, usually I charge $70 for the labor on an amp install, $35 to $50 per pair for the front or rear speaker installations, and $45 for the head unit installation.
Hope this helps!!
