i need to install speakers, amps, and a h/u in my 2k2. and circuit city here in gville thinks they are funny and wants $100 to install just a h/u not [urchased from them. any good places in ocala, gaiensvile, or ft.lauderdale fl that will not try to rip me off?

 

the only way not get ripped off is to install it your self. Install as much stuff as you can yourself, call around small car stereo shops to get a good price for the rest of the stuff.

 

yeah i know. but i cant install a h/u, components, 2 amps. i can do the amps possibly.

 

The head unit and the components is very easy to install, easier then the amps..
clicky

 

Sound Ideas - 13th street north of Sam's Club on the right side. All of that shouldn't be more than $200.

 

im gonna go by there tomorrow.
i need my pioneer h/u installed, along with kapps components, 2 amps, but i already have the wiring to the car done. and i also need the steering wheel controls to be functional. if i can get it done for anything less than $200 ill do it.

 

They were good about working with me when I brought in equipment, same thing for my roommate. It may be more if you have the Bose in there now, I'm not sure. I know there's a lot more to rip out if the Bose system is in there.

To give you an idea, I got my head unit, amp, and components installed for $185.

 

me and my buddy do installs, but were in miami... lil farther than you mentioned... HU install is really easy...

 

I will be using Logan's car stereo in Starke. Sound ideas is good. Whatever you do stay as far away from Audio Worx. If they would install my system for free I would not accept it. I am from Lauderdale but don't know of any good shops there. Good luck!

 

is audio works on main street? im installing everyhing myself but im afraid installing the new h/u, dash kit and steering wheel controls will be hard.

 

Yep, it's on main street. An old freind of mine works there. I still would steer clear. Call Logans before you act. He will shoot you straight. His wife and brother are both knowledgable and trustworthy. It's about 30 min N of G-ville. When I lived in Gainesville I learned how to install my own stuff after the Audio Worx disaster. I am moving back next Aug. A few people meet at the Archer Rd Albertsons Thursday nights. You should go if your into that.
Installing a head unit isn't hard. Most of the time you can buy an adapter and almost plug and play. As for the stearing wheel controls, all it is is a module you install between your headunit and the controls. A qualified installer could have it installed in about 20 min. Good luck. What are you installing? Just curious. I sold my 3 solo 12's to a friend and bought 3 more solo l7's, all Alpine type R componenets up front. I am still undecided on th H/U.

 

i just hate rippign apart the dash and mounting the steering wheel controls. well im installing cdt components and coaxs and i only have the front left door done and it sounds 100x better, even with the tock non-bose h/u. so once im done installing the speakers i have on order the pioneer 850 mp, fresh looking h/u with nie features and a jbl 600.1 amp to power my 2 decent pioneer 10's i already have installed. i just need to find out where the stock crossovers are.

 

Sounds great! Are you going to post some pics when you're done?

 

i never post pics online cuz im not comp savvy like that but my friend has a digi cam so i can do it. but this audio project may take until the new year because i might be going to PA. but what do you want pix of? i wish i took pix of the installation process of the cdt's what a ***** they wrere for the front. my friend was cursing at the design of this car for 5 hours. but man, thses cdts sound amazing even on my stock non-bose h/u.

 

I know a place out in tamarac that might be able to install it for you for a reasonable price

PM me if you need the info, I dont check this part of the forums.

 

I opted for the non bose as well. With every intention of installing new equipment. I guess I am just plain lazy these days. As for the pics, nothing specific. I enjoy veiwing other peoples ideas and enginuity(sp). I love to go to Termpro.com and float around. Unfortunatly there aren't very many Maxima's.

 

install some cdts and keep ur stock h/u for awhile and you will be so happy with yourself for doing it. but right now i think i need to take off the door panels again to install the crossovers for the cdts. when my friend finds out hes gonna kill me.

 

Hey guys, I need help with the bose sub cut-off.
I have a 2000 maxima se.
Anyone up in Canada - Toronto/ Mississauga area?
