Where's the best place to get a headunit installed? Just picked up a double din bezel and eyeing a certain headunit. I also need my subs/amp rewired for a cleaner look also. Somewhere near Antioch would be nice!

there isnt too many wires, just your power, your ground, speaker wires, remote and rca cables.. Ive hooked up all my systems myself...just route it under the carpet.. piece of cake.

i do that also. 40 for labor to install headunit. another 100 to run all wires and wire in and tune your existing equipment. im more expensive than a stereo shop cause i care an take my time to do it right. in vallejo at 707 297 0868

actually thats a good deal, most audio shops charge by the hour, rather than the job...and most of them charge a minimum of 100 per hour. at least if they are high end audio shops.

i got low budget shops around here, that dont know how to use a butt connector and wires falling out from under the dash a hour later lol, nor know how to properly tune. theres only one decent shop out here local and they charge differently if u where buying equipment off of them. i think its fair to cause it would take at least a couple hours and i do charge 100 an hour as well. but stereo stuff is fun and this is ca fords. and im waiting a couple days for some scheduled work to come in so i have a couple free days to say.

How hard is it to open up the dash, take out the old stereo thingy, connect the wires to the new harness thingy, put in the new deck thing, connect the connecty thingys and power up???
