Hmm I might be upto the task or at least I have a buddy who used to work with me at and audio shop before it went down, he built most of Mike Peckams stereo system in his Buick Regal. The same buick regal that has won the iasca world finals 2 years in a row in SQ. PM me if your interested.

I can see you rebuilding within a year.........

not because of the installer quoted above..........but because teh barter system NEVER works when it comes to building an IASCA system.

People have no idea how much work goes into just wiring on a winning vehicle.

Ok, Jaime, that rules out the barter approach.

Based on previous numbers I saw, this effectively means that I have to cancel this install until I have $5K saved up.

Did you plan on competing with all the product still in the shipping cartons?

You'll need to save a lot more than that do IASCA seriously.
How much more?

And this is for just the install??? What am I missing here? Why would it be a lot more?

Perhaps I should forget about competing in IASCA and just find a good installer and tuner and get it over with.

Well, I think that's a bit harsh. Competing in IASCA doesn't necessarily mean you have to unload huge money. IASCA does have entry level classes for newbies that basically introduce you to the competitive side of things. If you find that you are hooked, then you can get into some SERIOUS money to be competitive. And I mean to just be competitive, not to win.

Generally speaking, I would suggest that newbies start with something simple system wise and remember to spend good money on the install and preparation for competing. Go with a two way front end and a sub or two, good amps, good processing and a good source. And then there's al the details in the wiring, sound deadening, little stuff, etc, etc. It doesn't have to be the best of the best out there gear wise since if you have a great installer/tuner, you'd be surprised with the rabbits they can pull out of their azz.

So that being said, if you want to compete, and you're not building/tuning on your own, go out and first find yourself an installer/shop that has the experience in IASCA and that has won in IASCA. Gear shopping first and showing up with a pile of electronics in hopes of assembling a winning system is not going to get you anywhere in a productive and efficient way. It will also likely end up costing you more as well.
