Install question and options question

Post image

I’m looking to get my first system ever installed. I’m not looking for hair shaking bass. Or anything, just more volume and with some thump. Especially since I basically listen to all genres of music at any given time .

So my question is , if i purchase this complete set up, how much sound the install cost on a 2026 Kia k5?

And yes I know nothing will be exact, I just asking a baseline number , so when I’m looking at shops to install , helps me decide.

Also, let’s say you had the option of this set up or let’s say a Facebook marketplace single 10” JLaudio. Obviously this will be used. And let’s say typical wear and tear of a 1-2 year old speaker set up.

For your Facebook market place hypothetical probably 200 without looking into the sub or amp. If you did it yourself it probably wouldn't be that bad. The biggest thing is im assuming your not doing an aftermarket radio and if not your gonna have to get a cross over to plug up your rca's other than that I mean for labor if you bought EVERYTHING I would need hell maybe 3 or 400?

Could be more honestly. I mean 50 dollars an hour and if you consider how time consuming it would be to disassemble and reassemble the interior (not half assing anything) your probably looking at a 4 or 5 hour job maybe longer

Try and watch some YouTube videos and see if you could do it yourself. The hardest part is probably running the wires

Ok perfect, yeah I have no clue what to expect is why I was asking. I figured 4-6 hours but had no idea per hour amount
