Jeepers, $125 to install that thing??? It looks like a 30 min job to me. Maybe an hour but it's mostly plug and pay and bolt it down. Of course if it were mine, I would diy it. I think this is one of the easiest installs you'll see and would be a great way to learn some things and save some cash. IMO the more skills you learn, the less you have to depend on others.

No kidding, do it yourself it's not that difficult. it comes with instructions correct? go for it!! "YOU CAN DO IT!!!"

my dealer said $75 for installation. So i'm assuming thats probably 1 hr of labor.

OK guys who are looking for instructions. I was able to scan them. I only scanned pages 1 - 5 because page 6 starts other languages.

MY BOX WAS SHIPPED ON 2/26 WILL BE ARRIVING AROUND 3/5.

Dude hate to say this but if you are able to read those instruction you should be able to do the work. That is at max a 1 1/2 hour job. Good luck and enjoy it.

Wvallediego · 03-01-2010, 12:24 PM

Anyone installed the system yet? How does it sound?

scifisteve · 03-03-2010, 01:12 AM

just got mine in today took about 45 min to an hour. Bring your 13.5mm drill bit.Even if you have trim remover you might want to pick up what they call fir tree clips.
Sounds great. very well matched set up.I have had many GM products with the Bose set up(Corvette GMC Denali etc) This sounds better to me.
Pricey but oh well. Your not going to live forever.....BOOM BOOM

Wvallediego · 03-03-2010, 01:55 PM

fir tree clips?

Any pictures of the system setup in your trunk?

scifisteve · 03-03-2010, 10:01 PM

I will get pic tomorrow. It is just the little flat head plastic pins that hold most of the trim on .
OH yea if you are going to get the trunk mat with the sub, get the carpet one .The GM (real cool looking)Rubber mat it is too thick to use with the Factory Sub.BOOM BOOM

Wvallediego · 03-04-2010, 02:41 AM
