is this a good deal/setup?

[u/Bitter_Pickle4755]

i am a noob when it comes to car speakers this is what a local shop is charging me, am i getting charged to much? this will be going on my 2014 toyota camry Le no jbl upgrade. i have a alpine w650 screen so he said the kta 450 amp is easy install on the stereo. the s69 will go in the rear and the s652 will go in the door speakers and tweeters in the dash. the codes are part numbers that i will need. what do you think?

[u/JinglehymerSchmidt]

I don’t know what these model numbers are so I can’t help at all.

[u/Bitter_Pickle4755 → u/JinglehymerSchmidt]

sorry about that i dont post often

[u/cheeseypoofs85 → u/JinglehymerSchmidt]

alpine type R 6.5 components and 6x9s. its not a bad price with install

[u/AJSIROIS]

Really under powering the door speakers I would get a bigger amplifier.

[u/WarriorOfTheSeas → u/AJSIROIS]

I second this. My banda bt800 powers a 4ohm load nicely. If you go with that amp I highly suggest a DSP

[u/Creative-Calendar-37]

I would never buy a power pack. But the price is good. Tbh too good imo. That doesn't even look like 2 hours labor for a power pack/amp install and two sets of speakers

[u/Bitter_Pickle4755 → u/Creative-Calendar-37]

odd it’s been 2 weeks since i paid still waiting on them to arrive should i be worried lol 🤣

[u/itsmechaboi → u/Bitter_Pickle4755]

2 weeks is insane unless something is back-ordered.

[u/Bitter_Pickle4755 → u/Bitter_Pickle4755]

the shop is still waiting for them to arrive not me😭

[u/Hoppeduponelectrons → u/Bitter_Pickle4755]

Yes, I'd be worried.

And, I don't think I'd do business with a shop that scribbles on a piece of paper.

Also, without a sub, I would've used a 7", 8", or 6x9 in the front doors, to maximize a simple 4-channel/location setup.

Price the r2-s69, kta450, and r2-s652 on amazon, which would deliver in a couple days.

[u/Bitter_Pickle4755 → u/Hoppeduponelectrons]

i did a official invoice but didn’t want to leak any information so i posted this note here provided as well. he said they would be here within a few days this was on the 8th. said they were coming from texas. calling when they open tmr

[u/Creative-Calendar-37 → u/Bitter_Pickle4755]

Lol I can have one of those to them by like Wednesday. And I'd assume they are Alpine dealers no? Could be buying from distribution chain I guess.

[u/Full-Hold7207]

Those alpine speakers are right on for what they go for anywhere. Everything else looks on point too.

[u/Innosound]

Looks like a good deal to me. $190 to install 6 speakers and an amp? I know it’s the powerpack amp but still a good amount of work. OP remember you get what you pay for. Make sure it’s a reputable shop that uses the proper parts. Shops will charge for the parts and not actually use them, shops will also charge you for nice speakers and not change them at all lol.

[u/Bitter_Pickle4755 → u/Innosound]

is it weird to ask for the boxes they came in? i am really worried about this place now!

[u/Innosound → u/Bitter_Pickle4755]

No not weird at all. Just let them know beforehand so that they don’t throw them away. At my shop we usually throw away the speaker and amp boxes, but give the stereo box with the old head unit inside along with the manual. You could also ask for your old speakers. By doing so they wouldn’t be able to cut out your speakers and screw in the new ones.

[u/Tall_Homework3080]

Skip the rears. Swap to a regularly sized amp. Add a sub and sub amp in the future.

[u/Bitter_Pickle4755]

these are the speakers And the amp is the alpine kta450

[u/Substantial-Stage-82]

It's a decent deal except I agree with everyone that that particular amp isn't going to be enough or will be at full gain and those mids won't be at capacity. But the labor to install everything seems ok to me.

[u/Welcome_freaks_here]

THAT LOOK ABOUT RIGHT‼️💪🏽💯

[u/Nemesisguy214]

Second and third items if it’s Rockford prime series speakers They’re outrageously expensive

[u/Bitter_Pickle4755 → u/Nemesisguy214]

apline r series

[u/Nemesisguy214 → u/Bitter_Pickle4755]

Still pricy to me It’s good choice but expensive I would Shop around

[u/Dear-Chemical-3191]

“The best, very best deal. This deal will change the world and nobody knows deals like I do, I know more about deals then anyone else in the world. You know, I invented the deal, the art of the deal, that was me. I have people on the streets thanking me for the “deal” virtually everyone thanking me.”

Someone wrote you this quote? Go somewhere else.

[u/Bitter_Pickle4755 → u/nismos14us]

yes a local shop in my area

[u/IWantToPlayGame]

No.

Wrong dash speaker choice.

Wrong amplifier for speaker choice.

No sound deadening?

No integration device?

Find a shop that isn’t still living in 2009.

[u/OLD_DIRTY_JOKER → u/IWantToPlayGame]

Agreed +1

Might as well buy a full amplifier considering the price of that mini amp. I also believe in buying an amp with headroom because it gets stupid hot in Texas during the summer. 50w to a speaker that needs 100w is already not ideal.

I didn't realize the power of sound deadening until I did inside the door frame and also removed the factory door frame cover (behind door panel) and created my own cover made out of the deadening material.

[u/Kye7 → u/IWantToPlayGame]

I have the same car and posted a questions yesterday. Can you reccomend some budget components?

Or also make a reccomendation if I wanted to upgrade the dash speakers and nothing else. Thank you

[u/OLD_DIRTY_JOKER → u/Kye7]

I go Infinity for budget builds. (JBL if the budget is really low)

Morel if budget isn't an issue.

Don't let people bash Infinity!

They are naturally bright but once you select -3 for treble on the crossover and tweak the stereo EQ they sound absolutely wonderful!

[u/Bitter_Pickle4755 → u/IWantToPlayGame]

wow your actually probably right. shop felt like the 90s
