well today i installed a few things in my friends 01 forester. i installed:

-4 new speakers, 2 front 2 rear.
-and an Alpine CDA 7892
-i took the 7892 out of his 94 path and installed a the factory one back in.

didnt take to long(hardest part was figuring out the dash...) i bought a harness for the hu ($17 bucks with tax) he already had the speakers/HU. so my question is, how much should i charge him? Ive never installed things for someone else so i dont know what to charge. is it by the hour? or is it like fix amout for certain things(like 20 for HU, 40 for 2 speakers, ect)?

thanx a bunch guys [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
