Cost of installing sound system in car?

Been wanting to get a better sound system for my vehicle, was just wondering how much a standard setup would cost ( 2x speakers, 1x subwoofer, sub case and amp) including professional installation? I just want really crisp, high quality sound w/bass instead of stock crap and i already got the radio deck. Would anyone know the cost or tell us how much yours cost if youve ever had it done?

What spazzx said. i just recently upgraded my sound system in my car. I ordered 4 speakers ($50 per pair, so $100) and a new receiver (mine was $100) from crutchfield. I'm gonna be getting a subwoofer and amp soon. The installation was pretty simple eventhough i never installed a system before. Most of their stuff comes with free adapters and all that good stuff with detailed instructions on your specific car.

Don't use Crutchfield, they're way overpriced. Just type in car audio on google and use the ones on the first page. I spent a little over $1k on mine, (Subwoofer, 2 amps (1 for sub, 1 for speakers), Component speakers, and LCD touch screen head unit. You definitely could spend less though. I recommend going to www.caraudio.com and visit the forums. Tell them you're budget and they'll recommend you the best setup for your money.

For installation, you could do it yourself (it really isn't that hard, I did mine for the first time by myself), or you could take it to a local car audio shop or even Best Buy.

I installed mine myself but it wasn't my 1st install so I knew what I was doing already. I put out for a very nice head unit and plan on putting in some after market speakers in the near future. My headunit is a Kenwood DDX512 and I paid almost $500 for it. It is very nice and well worth the money but I could have got it for around $350-400 if I bought it used off ebay. Like I said it's an expensive unit and I wanted to have a warranty for it so I purchased it brand new. No regrets here. I love the unit, but if you're looking for something a little cheaper for a headunit without a viewscreen then I'd recommend Pioneer products. I had one in the past that was flawless.
