So I got the qoute back and I'm a bit in shock as to how expensive it really is:

ALPINE PDX4100 4 CHANNEL 100WRMS 579 $ 579.00
FOCAL 130KR 5" K POWER SPLIT $ 679.00


FOCAL 130KRC 5" K POWER COAXIAL
$ 579.00
DEI 55020 LINE LEVEL CONVERTOR * 2 $ 90.00
DEI WIRING MISC WIRING $ 120.00
DYNAMAT EXTREME SOUNDEADNING MATERIAL (Front doors and rear shelf) $ 350.00
INSTALLATION OF SPKRS $ 440 00
INSTALLATION OF AMP $ 275.00
TOTAL INCLUDING DISCOUNT $2900

$2900 without a sub! WOW. Is it the focal components that are so pricey?

What do you guys think. The OEM system being offered by BMW (2 high range Alpine, 2 mid range Alpine, Alpine Amp) for $1800 installed seems like a bargain. This ofcourse misses out on the sound deadening though and its very difficult to verify the quality as not many details are given by BMW about the amp and speakers. But since its an Alpine set up endorsed by BMW it should be pretty good no?

What do you guys think? The guy I spoke to for the qoute really seemed to know what he was on about. I'm lost! :iono:
