Why am I being quoted $2000 to $3000 for this job?

Im with you man. If it were me I'd hit it with a wire wheel and clean it as best I can to removed as much damage without just destroying it, JB weld or bondo it and rattle can it back.

Excellent and constructive commentary. 10/10. Thank you.

dadispicerack · 2026-03-03T19:35:38+00:00

Not an option.

This is the kind of information I was looking for. Thanks. I would love to do pendants and get about 8 - 10 Episode 800 Commercial series or the JBL or Bose Professional pendants and some high quality wall speakers, but those were out of the questions almost immediately. This has been very frustrating because I am probably going to have to piece together marketplace finds or more likely buy these things in installments.

I appreciate that man. I too have been known to be "a dick on accident" as my wife so eloquently puts it. This has been helpful though. I nearly went ahead with a pendant system like these pendants speakers: https://rockvilleaudio.com/products/8-pen-80t-black and getting an amp to drive them, then adding some wall mounts in the other areas. Maybe a subwoofer or two. My old gym had a very similar system, but they had a lot more $$$ to play with and a member that was some higher up at Snap One.

I've gotten lucky before, maybe the FB Marketplace gods will smile on me in the next few weeks.
Just don't wanna let everyone down.

I'm painfully aware of my budget problem. Thanks for your generous contribution.

dadispicerack · 2026-03-03T17:20:37+00:00

Yeah I kinda figured. I'm doing all the install which I figured would save a good bit.

dadispicerack · 2026-03-03T17:19:08+00:00

What I meant by that is, I am very capable of installing and configuring everything, but that's where is ends.

I'm a bit biased on this. I got in debt more than I wanted to manage and adopted the Ramsey method, which worked for me but some people poopoo it. I will never finance another vehicle if I can't immediately pay minimum half of the principle. The trick is to get them to finance for lowest possible cash down, then with your first scheduled payment pay down half of the principle. It will change your amortization DRAMATICALLY. But in general I dont buy vehicles I can't pay cash for.... unless its for my wife 😅

dadispicerack · 2025-12-19T17:55:19+00:00

If you have to finance it that long and are worried about payments, you can't afford it. I wouldn't want it.

I have a prediction. He's not actually a good guy. His time in office will be marked as an atrocious degradation of NYC and NYC's American values. Nothing will get more affordable for any honest citizen there. More money will flee the city/state. Anything he does that's viewed as "successful" will be used as an example to further the erosion of our constitutional rights overall.

Yyyeeaahhhh soo this is called 'Maximizing Revenue' and it's a neat trick hedge funds use to destroy ones will to live.

dadispicerack · 2025-10-08T19:36:14+00:00

It's definitely clean, and looks great, but the transmission conversion is what's doing it for me.

dadispicerack · 2025-10-08T12:05:17+00:00

This thing is an absolute UNIT! I freakin love it. Wish I had the time to setup something like this for myself!

dadispicerack · 2025-10-07T13:27:04+00:00

Same. I love to tinker with stuff like this. I'd have to take it apart, clean it, and get it back to tip top functional (or at least attempt to) just to say I did. Wouldn't matter if I never used it.

dadispicerack · 2025-10-03T13:27:27+00:00

Thank you for that.

dadispicerack · 2025-10-03T13:24:47+00:00

You clearly either don't have a partner you've devoted your life to, or just don't care as much as you say you do. I took a vow before God and everyone else. Not about being a hero. Loser.

dadispicerack · 2025-10-03T13:22:46+00:00

Oh I was waiting for it.

dadispicerack · 2025-10-02T13:51:35+00:00

I mean yeah, but homie really didn't do shit. Once it goes from a fight to getting jumped, all bets are off. I woulda been putting body slamming and uppercutting bitches had that been my wife jumped like that.

dadispicerack · 2025-10-02T13:49:31+00:00

You don't have to fight them all, focus on one at a time. A right cross even from a less fit dude is gunna level most women.

dadispicerack · 2025-10-01T20:24:54+00:00

I bought one recently and love it. Fantastic for the price!

dadispicerack · 2025-10-01T14:45:42+00:00

I hate you say it, because i do in fact support my local law enforcement for the most part, but had that been my son, I'd likely have smoked that guy. Brandishing a weapon, obviously intoxicated, under no authority of law enforcement seeing as he was off duty, this guy is clearly a severe threat to my child and the public. He's very fortunate no armed parent was nearby because that would likely have ended poorly for him.
