Yes, we should quote a low-end install. $550-$700 for an empeg, $200 for an amp (I can't imagine any for $100 or so), keep the stock speakers, install it yourself, $50 for other stuff like cable and wiring and stuff (shipping, etc). Still, a low end, do-it-yourself-and-spend-tons-of-time install will cost ~$850 or so. But that's LOW end.

So yeah, who's got that to spend? Especially now when you hafta give everyone stuff for XMas. But, I don't think the value of the empeg is dropping. Untill it is antiquated, it might still stick around $550-$700.
