I know I'm being nosy, but what's the bill for a setup like that?

Ive been doing custom stereos in my own vehicles since the 90s. Looks like a very expensive labor cost involved, but for good tunes, $$$ dont matter!!!!

I have an Arc Audio amp in my Victory Magnum

I am genuinely curious how the cooling for the amps is going to be achieved?? Got a cost breakdown?? Im guessing $4K range

Stereo? Our cars have a stereo!! Wow!! Never turn it on, that sweet V8 sound is all the music I need!

If I need tunes, I get in my Kia Stinger. That car has an impressive Harman Kardon 700W sound system in it!

BTW, Nice job on the install! Bet it sounds great!

Nice job on the stereo install, but sure would hate to see the bill for that upgrade.
