called 3 places, 2 for sure said they wont install it on such a high end car cause they dont wanna screw up any electrical things going on, and the other place has to check with their manager monday to see if they can install in on my car.

geez its not like i have a 100k car here. u guys call yourselves professional audio installers and u wont install it on mine. WTF does it take to have it installed in my car.

dont they wanna make money. its like i have to own a escort or cavalier for them to install.

sorry felt like ranting cause i want this professionally installed and have had 3 places within the past 2 weeks turn me down.

 

That is ridiculous. It is just like any other amp/sub install. Nothing special at all! Its even easier than a regular amp/sub install. Lazy asses.

 

What kind of ghetto places are you going to?

Where you located? Try Mark's Sound in schamburg. Hes done work on my TLS, 330 and next week on my A4.

 

actually one of the places is supposed to be well known. music n motion is what its called, in crestwood by where i live.

can u give me more info on this place in schaumburg cause i will take it there. any question on how much a basslink is their + installation?

thanks

 

Well this place i been going to since 1996, great place. They used to be called Sound Experence, the manager there is named Mark. But last year he bought the shop and named it Mark's sound. Still the same staff and same products, but with cheaper pricing.

I would think the basslink can be installed for less than $75. Not sure if they sell the basslink though, but just buy it off ebay and bring it there for the install.

heres the address, i think its the same phone number.

Address:
285 S Roselle Rd, Schaumburg, IL 60193
Phone: (847) 352-6022

 

Man, I've done this install in my CL. It's extremly easy. the only thing I ran from the front of the car was the power cable, which came from the terminal through the firewall under the door sill, under the back seat, through the tirewell. I grounded it out in the trunk and used the supplied inline speaker leads spliced to the bose amp behind the right side of the trunk. Email me for detail instructions...It literally takes 45 minutes if you're technically inclined with basic trim/seat removal skills...

 

Sorry, I didn't read this part! if you are interested in doing it yourself, it's a great project. let me know.

 

well i know a lot of friends that can install it for me, but the things is, whatever i do to this car, i pretty much want it professionally installed just for warranty sake. any probs, i can take it back to the guys.

crazy_i will call that place tomorrow and see if they carry basslinks. is their anyone that can hook me up there, should i mention your name? who should i ask for?

thanks

 

If you have the basslink installed are they required wires needed for the installation included in the price or would I need to get my own? I've never been clear on that. and typically how much do the wires needed for the installation cost?

 

you'll need a power and ground cable, but the unit comes with speaker inputs if you have to splice into a factory harness. Otherwise you'll also need a good patch cable. If you're using the patch cable (rca's), you'll need a remote turn-on lead as well. Usually you can pick up all of these in a good monster or rockford fosgate amp kit for about $45. I'm sure there are other brands for more/less bucks but these two brands work just fine.

 

anyone know a site where i can find a basslink for the best price? i dont really trust ebay, so another site might be helpful

thanks

 

AutoSound in Palatine will do it. Ask for Mike or Gary.

 

thats exactly what i was gonna say. Marks sound is a good shop. Guys are really cool too. So who you try to get do it.?

 

well i called mark at that place. seemed really cool. however he does not carry the basslinks, so i asked if i can buy one and bring it to him and he said yes.

so thats why i was asking where to find a bass link at the best price.

thanks guys

 

Did he remember who i was? :o

I went in there today to make a appointment for my car, he remembered me by face and car but not sure if he knew my name. :o

 

i didnt mention your name, i just mentioned a guy (you) from this site who referred me to him.

sorry i didnt know ur name

 

How much he want for the install, if you dont mind me askin...

 

five dolla for a table top!

 

i didnt ask, i guess i shouldve. im gonna call him back, but i need to find a bass link first.

 

you gett he basslink yet. I can try and help you find one, but it matters if you want a warranty with it or not. I could find you the best price online, but it prob wont have a warranty. If you wanna buy from a retail store thats different.

 

I just called mark and asked him. He said he hasn't dealt to much with the basslink, but he quoted me about 90 bucks for install. He said it would matter were you want it placed and if you need a wire kit.

 

thats cool man. what do they usually run, like 200 bucks or something? i would pay the full 200 if it came with a warranty.

im not too in a hurry to get this as i have alot of things to take care of, but i will be buying one of these soon.

what places can u link me to for some prices?

thanks brian

 

check ebay they have the lowest prices I have seen.
