bokonon Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 So I had a vibration coming from the six inch round in the rear. (Does that sound dirty or is it just me?) I had it looked at last night and ended up paying $200 to replace....is this normal? I have a big system and they said if I were to put cheapies in they'd just keep blowing.

Freak By Night Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 My big system tends to get blown a lot too. Seriously though, $200 seems to be excessive for one speaker. Did that charge include the labour to replace it too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8FuL Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 200$ is Crazy to have spent on one 6'' round speaker. They must have charged you some major labour charges or something to be so expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokonon Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 It did include labour...but still, WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokonon Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 They said because the whole system came from their store and was worth about six grand new that they weren't going to charge labour, just the $20 diagnostic fee and parts.

bokonon Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 No, no...they didn't do that at all. They told me it was $20 to have it looked at...they had to take out the old speaker and also had to take out one of the screens (both were pooched) then after they exhausted all avenues of repair we began discussing replacement options. I left the pooched screen because I don't give a flying fuck for the DVD system, especially the screen on the back of the driver's headrest. But the vibration in the speaker was making me have serious road rage problems. I've got three giant amps (if i knew more about this shit i'd give you details, it all just came with the car) and two subs, so they said you need good speakers otherwise they will blow with all that power. And yes, I go for long drives and turn up the bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 did they install the system originally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokonon Posted February 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Yep...the person who worked on it doesn't work there anymore, but they traced the serial numbers and found everything (deck, amps, speakers, subs, alarm/starter) came from their store except the Game Cube.

Weirdness Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 What kind of speaker? I would think that $200 a pair would be more reasonable for something that's high quality which would net you a spare but $200 for a single is unusual but not unheard of depending on what it is. Your best bet is to find out exactly what speaker they put in your car, look up the retail price and then go from there. If they charged you 5 times the retail price then you definitely got screwed and can then go back and state your case with all of the details that you need to prove it.

boiler Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 $200 isn't unheard of for car speakers, especially in a $6000 system, why would you put $50 speakers in.Anyways, I really want to listen to snoop dogg in your car, can you come pick me up?

However, I have some Peter Tosh in this morning and you are welcome to listen to that or anything else that doesn't make me want to stab myself in the ears.

bokonon Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I told the dealership that I work at about the ordeal and they talked to the stereo store who backed my up saying that I didn't break the speakers, they were just old so now I don't have to pay!!! Woo Hoo! I don't own the car, it's a demo from work so this is very good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
