yea yea. I had the discussion about the HU with Don already so I really dont want to get into it here. But yea I know the BOSE should go but Ilike it so far. and it should sound even better now since th esub will handle all of the bass, and a good one at that. Thansk Don

Ill get an invoice ready and check the staus on the sub tomorrow.We can take it from there, worst case if its not too long of a trip...come down and all the wiring can be done. Come back and we can throw the enclosure in. Being that Im leaving for Kentucky in a lil over a week. I wanna make sure everything is in prior.

Is this approximately what you charge for all sub+amp installs, even if the equipment was not purchased from you?

Depends if that's the wiring you want.

You can upgrade or downgrade.

I just would lke to have it by next weekend or by the time you install the sub. And if I order online it takes a while to get it due to shipping. SO I would like to order ASAP. I guess I can wait until tomorrow

I can have it in a day. Although bear in mind if you do end up with an aftermarket HU, it will be useless. Youll need a new unit to work with the HU. Just dont want to see you spend the money twice.

Why will I need a new unit? It has the same line out, and Ill just connect it to an aux input on the new unit... But actually if anything I would want my new unit to have Sat. radio built-in. But I kinda decided not to get a newone for a while and I really want XM radio already... Thats why I had the convo with u because I was trying to decide. But I decided to get this for now, and I'll only change the BOSE HU is something goes wrong, or I run into some extra cash. Thanks though. So please let me know tomorrow in the early afternoon if you can. Thanks. Also which one you wold recommend the skyfi2 or roadyXT. I like roadyxt because it is slim and sleek, but is lacking the 30 min buffer. Also it is much cheaper then the Skyfi2. So let me know along with the price your recommendation. Thanks.

If you had a new unit it would be plug&play, no additional screen on the dash. A different unit would connect to the HU. But its irrelevant if your not changing.

Ill check on both tomorrow sometime. BTW they both have $30 rebates.

Yea I know about the rebates. Thanks. I See what you are saying that it would be useless but yeah Im not changing for a while.
By the way I was just curious, how much would the Arc 12" sub be in a simialr enclosure and amp? Just curious.

I would rather not even entertain that question. I can already see this opening up a whole new can of worms. Lets just say it would be close in price.

As for your stuff, its all already ordered, so the invoice really shouldnt need to be rushed as the stuff is still on schedule.

Uhm... It would be nice to know the actual cost before actually purchasing. Like you said if anything that they go fast right? And if they are close in price isn't that a good thing for me though? I thought that the Arc 12" is a top notch product... I really don't understand why you ordered it already without me knowing the exact price that Im going to pay....

*EDIT* I Was actually looking at Arc at first when I thought I would spend around $300 so I disregarded it as too expensive, but now that Im spending something in the $500 range, It seems like I can afford the ARc 12s, no?

Uhm If you actually Read the post several above, I already stated the sub was ordered anyway, regardless of if you wanted it or not. It will sell quickly. Has nothing to do with you or obligating you to anything.

You do have a habit of changing your mind quite frequently. If this Last setup is not what your gonna want, then Im just going to call it a day. Like I said the Arc would be similiar in pricing, but it will be more. It also will need an enclosure, not one specifically made for it from the manufacturer of the sub itself.

What goes fast????
