who deal with car alarms? i have a 791xv i need to get installed and was wondering who would be the cheapest? it can be you personally on your own time, or refer me to a great shop who is cheap and does a good job. audio plus told me they could do it for $250-400. no way. and i don't have any add-ons but would like some. thanks

Go to Audio Midwest in MWC, talk to Jason Owens, and tell him Joe Wallis sent you...he should be able to cut you a deal.

also ask him if he has time this weekend, away from work...it is usually less then.

since you don't have add ons right now.

i've actually been there once. guy tried to sell me a 1000/1 for $750. lol.

thanks man. how much do they usually charge btw?

I know that the Viper 791xv that you have is about 500 installed there. Jason is their master installer and I know if you get him away from the shop, you can get a much lower price.

I was quoted about 225 labor for every option known to viper for that alarm...

but then again, Jason and I have been friends for over 10 years.

$750 isnt that bad of a price for a mom and pop shop. You get the warranty and a few other things you wouldn't get if you bought one used on the internet. You have to remember something about JL, they don't sell on the Internet. You have to buy them from a brick and mortar stereo shop.
If you can find a better price on the internet, chances are the amps are refurbs without a warranty or company backing.

yeah. they did offer payment plans, but i wasn't interested at the time.

but i'll give him a shot and see what he can do for me. my friend i bought it off of (in ohio) was quoted like $150-200 for installation. so we'll see. thanks for the help.

Hum.. my local shop quoted me $250, I might be able to haggle down a bit. But I don't know. I know circuit city quoted me a guess at $200, but I dont know if they knew much, and I dont trust them too much.
