Lol. $11k to replace speakers and a head unit.

The trolls/haters don't bother me at all. They have no clue what all went in to make sure I got the sound and system I wanted. To them, it's just a new head unit and a few speakers. They don't have the ability to understand that this wasn't a 'slap it in and let it go' type install that would have wires hanging all over the place. They also don't know what each of the components themselves cost, nor do they know the difference between a custom unit and buying a few things from best buy (or the like) and throwing it in, hoping that when they turn the unit it on it'll work. They can hate all they want.Ease up on criticism for how much was spent for this.
Many people here drop $10,000 (and WAY up) in a heartbeat.
To each their own.
'Tip of the hat' to the OP for spending your money for what matters to you. You said it was worth it, so that is what matters. Congrats!
Any pictures to share?Sounds like a solid project for sure.
A lot of folks also don't understand that labor charges at custom shops are very pricey as well, and add up quickly.
I had a shop do a custom system in my JT recently as well.
All in all I'm $20,000 into it.
