Do it yourself IF you have a lot of free time. I am not a big DIYer and so far I am half way through it. I've done all four doors, and I have to say the sound proofing makes a huge difference. I still have to install the amp, sub, a-pillars and wire everything up. I anticipate this would be much easier than the doors. The first door took a while but each door after that was quicker. With the amount of clips I broke on each door I highly doubt a shop would have replaced them correctly. I pre-ordered door clips from my dealer but those were not enough so I had to jerry rig trim clips into door clips. Another huge bonus is that you can completely sound proof the floors while you are doing the install.
I will tell you how long it took me so far, but keep in mind that i am also a bit OCD with cutting and installing sound proofing. Looking back i wish i just slapped everything on and stopped worrying about it.How many hours do you reckon it will take you, all-in? The shop I got the estimate from arbitrarily estimated about 14 hours, which seems excessive for folks with heavy experience. If I DIY, my time, these days, is essentially free, but my patience is not.
For reference, if I'm not wrong, Car & Audio (Bjorn's company that supplies the system), appears to charge roughly $800 for the install.
Great advice on stocking up on extra door clips if I go DIY!
Got to ask? Do you have a car trim kit? Basically the tools to remove trim and limit clip breakage?
