Yeah that is a big RIP! You must be getting some sweet amps for that price.

I went to Moorooka today, but Drew had the weekend off so left and will return another day.

If you break down the costs...

Install front speakers - $120
Install one amp - $120
Cable kit and line level converter - $200

So out of that $3300, that means the amps were around $2200?

Absolute rip off....


I would recomend just getting;

New speakers - ~$550
4 Channel amp - ~$600
Installation costs - ~$450 - $500 if hooking up subs

So really you should get a system better than the 10 speaker hifi for under $2k.



If you want to save some money and stick with Alpine, go to see George at Gold Coast Car Sound at Slacks Creek, (not the gold coast). Tell him Richard sent you. He will also be able to fit 5" speakers in there instead of the 4" which Northfield will do. They will be much cheaper as you can haggle with him for a better deal.
