Not just any shop; a car audio shop! Yesterday I received two 10" Alpine Type-R subwoofers from my mom, dad, and sister. I went to the shop and asked for the price of a fiberglass job, wiring, and labor. He quoted me $800! Yikes! Two years ago I got the same job done but also had a new Viper car alarm purchased and installed for $700. I told him that and he worked it down to $600. Yes, I know, it's expensive, but these guys are pro and I trust them. I dropped off the Ram about an hour ago and the job should be done in 4-5 days. Luckily for me, I had my old amp from my old Ram still. It saved me at least another $400. The amp (which is not enough power) is an MTX TC6001. This is gonna be fun...

 

post up some pictures when done. like to see how it turns out

 

thats actually a damn good price. a shop near me wanted to charge me 1000 just for a fiber glass enclosure for my nova.

i spent 500 for my mtx amplified enclosure

 

enjoy

 

post some pics when done and is your rig a QC or SC

 

His signature says that he has a QC.
Sounds pretty cool, hope you enjoy it. I know it'll be quite a while before I get an audio system on my truck. So make sure to let us know how you like it.

 

+1 on the pics....

 

I will most definitely get the pics up for you guys as soon as I get it back.

It really sucks not having the truck in the driveway, though. But it works out for me because it makes my buddies pick me up for the parties and I'm not the driver! Works out!

 

Are you going to have an alarm/starter combo installed while it's there?

Fiberglass is a PIA to work with and also, when I built my enclosure, it took a few days and my whole interior was torn apart. It was ugly. My truck had only 1200miles on it when I did everything. My wife took one look when she got home the first day and turned and walked the other way...lol There was no talking about it until it was done either...lol Now she like playing and looking at the Navi screen that i installed...hmmmm

$600 is a good price because those subs are deep and they will need to be fairly precise to make the box internal dimensions even enough. I hope they are building a sealed enclosure for them? I mounted both my amps under the seats. One guy on here mounted them to the back wall behind the rear seat. maybe you can call them up and have them do that because they will most likely be taking the back seat out to build the box and that would free up a bit of room.

 

I thought the rear seat was attached to the wall on the qc's? I know there doesnt seem to be any room back there....

For that money I think I would be tempted to try one of the prefabbed sub boxes out there first.
