Whats with this word CHEAP?

Car audio shops dont work for nothing. They have an hourly rate of $85 an hour to stick at least otherwise their business wont survive. Something to think about if you want a better job than what you currently have in your car.

i got my install through this guy in 3 cars now, he used to work for strathfield but has his own setup now. he came to my house in nedlands and did a top job for about 30% cheaper than anywhere else. name is daniel 0408792466. great work he does but prepared that hes not the most reliable person around as in he wont be there on time haha

Alberts or CarStereoCity are the 2 major car audio shops that come to mind... but they would be the most expensive

Although I have heard good things about the knowledge and quality of installs at Strathfield also.

damn strathfiled.. may them and their clan detortiate with immediate effect. diy with car audio seems like the best thing to me

Had a bad experience mate? :sick:

Although, I agree with the DIY thing, I have done my own a few times in 3 different cars and some friends...

they already have here in brissy- they are contracted to private fitters now. ( I have one.) only irony of it all is walking back into the place and taking it over since a lot of the people that worked there when I did (5 years ago) are still there :P

anyway..

DIY if you have a clue if not pay for it :)

Sorry,what do you mean when you said you got your install through this guy in 3 cars ?

Do you mean this guy has done or installed your sound system on all your 3 cars ?

I'm sorry,just a little confused.Is he like mobile service ? They come to you and do it in your garage ?

Because I actually want to install a new set of front and rear speakers that I bought,but Albert's & West Side said it's going to take at least 3 hours and

I don't have anyone to pick me up.I mean,I don't wanna wait 3 hours inside the shop and do nothing haha.If this Daniel guy can come to my house and

install my speakers then that would be awesome !

Thanks !

thread mine...

there is this thing called a bus and a taxi you know. mobile guys won't havet he correct tools to do it correctly :)

Haha very funny man.Of course I know but I live like 11kms away from West Side.From the shop to my house and my house to the shop will cost me $35.00

I'm the kind of person who likes to save lol.I'm cancelling my appointment with that mobile service guy anyways,the earliest they can do it is on Thursday next week.

I better wait 3 hours and get it done on Monday :).

Thanks !

    • @Supernanoyour car has ended up in my hands and I was wondering if there has been any work done to the motor?  
    • Sigh... yeah OEM mount rear battery, very R33, very demure, very mindful.
    • Would need a substantial current draw in the car to make a bunch of sparks. Obvs to now test resistance to ground of the car's B+ lead. If there's a short there, you'll see it. Only likely place for that, as you suspect is alternator. But there is also the possibility that rats have had a chew on some insulation. Shitbox has the battery in the boot, yeah? Plenty of cable to attack.
    • Oh, I thought of that too... I disconnected the battery and hooked up the leads direct to the car without the battery in place. Sparks... I suspect the following: Alternator has decided to kill itself Starter has decided to kill itself I'll recharge the battery, then unplug both, and go from there. The above might take 6 months - however I did buy a Victron 15 AMP trickle charger, apparently it's better than CTEK? Amazon, delivery by tonight. https://www.amazon.com.au/Victron-Battery-Charger-15-Amp-waterproof/dp/B07P4LMMMD?ref_=ast_sto_dp
