Craig, have you seen Irish Al's install? It's very nice indeed. Lovely sound off it too. Saw it back at the AWD open day. Think he did most of it himself

Its probably like servicing your car yourself.

DIY as its much more fun and a lot cheaper.

At least this way you can dynamat the doors and fit speaker pods to strengthen up the flimsy metal.

If you not fitting subs then replacement door speakers are easy to fit. I have done quite a few cars and the hardest part

is ripping the door cards and trim off you nice new car. I had my head unit out two days after getting the car and fitted everything in a weekend. Have a full pioneer system and it a bit of an improvement over the original stuff.

Pioneer DEH-P70BT Head Unit

Single Din Pocket with flip down cover

20GB Apple Ipod

Pioneer TS-E176C 17cm Components in Front Doors

Pioneer TSW-306 12" Subs x 2

Pioneer GM-6100F Amplifiers x 2

Craig I might be able to help you out. I have 2 complete ICE systems available, one from my other halfs WRX and one from me STi.

Both the same type of speakers, DLS Audio and something else I can't remember. She ran her speakers off a Alpine head unit with the ipod link whilst I ran mine off a Pioneer headunit with seperate amps.

Drop me a PM if your interested

PS Checkpoint did all the work and I think they would only charge about £80 to fit.

Checkpoint were good and advised on what i should be fitting speakers wise any way i have my amps

Well they suggested the speakers etc for the front and rear doors to me

They retail at 250 a set all in all stores so 500 alone for front and rear doors

So i find somewhere/someone selling them at 125 a set so i bought them brand new as well Half price 250 both sets Sorted

They suggested i get a stealthbox for my sub again retailing at arond the 150 mark, i sourced it for 80

They quoted me £1100 to supply the above wiring etc for my 3 amps.

So i save myself nearly 300 quid go back to get a date and tell them i have the items they suggested

There responce...... If your not buying the stuff from us we wont fit it??

Now they would have made themselves a right packet on wiring etc and it would have been a nice little earner plus they were asked to supply and fit a parrot or similar bluetooth kit

So i would guess for cables fuse carriers etc etc they would have had a good £300 fitting plus £100ish for the bluetooth,

But no they dont want to know???

Strange but true i wish i was in a business that i could afford to turn down work

Especially when i know that the mark up on car ice wiring is in excess of 55%

trade price is buttons compared to retail and that a fact

So checkpoint no ... let me down
