Preparing your car
We'll go through a preinstallation checklist and, if necessary, remove your existing subwoofer.
Factory-installed look and functionality
We'll wire the subwoofer and box terminals, and ensure the subwoofer is securely fastened to the enclosure. We can also secure the enclosure to your vehicle at your request.
Final steps
To finish, we'll perform a postinstallation checklist, vacuum the work area, and give you a demonstration of the subwoofer's features.
How to redeem and schedule your installation:
After ordering, you'll get a redemption e-mail containing a key code that validates your order. Find your nearest installation center and call to schedule an appointment.
What to bring to your installation appointment:
Bring a printout of your redemption e-mail, the subwoofer you want installed, and any other parts you may have purchased for the installation.
*Standard installation does not include vehicle-specific parts or accessories. For single subwoofer installation, the cost of parts will vary. Such parts and any additional parts or extensive labor are extra.
Your Geek Squad Autotech will provide an estimate prior to performing work that requires an additional charge (including nonstandard installation) and any additional parts. Any additional charges will be assessed after the installation is complete.
For installation information for your vehicle, find a store with an installation center and speak with a Geek Squad Autotech.

WARNING! DO NOT BUY SERVICES ONLINE!
||Posted .I purchased this service online only to realize later that it was the incorrect type due to poor product description. I was unable to obtain a refund using the Order Status page, so I followed the instructions in the confirmation email to obtain said refund. The email instructions sent me to the Autotech Service webpage, where I entered the confirmation number to verify my purchase. So, imagine my surprise when the site did not recognize my confirmation number! So, after about an hour of being on hold I reached a representative by phone who then informed me that electronically delivered products cannot be refunded. Yes, he was referring to the confirmation email! I did get my money back after a strong warning never to let it happen again. I will never again buy online from Best Buy and now seriously considering other options for car stereo installation.

Q: QuestionHow do I figure out what materials I need to provide for the installation?I have a 2008 Hyundai Elantra and a subwoofer already hooked up to an amp, but I don't know what wires I need to hook the subwoofer up to my car and the factory radio inside. How can I figure out what I need to connect everything?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer They provide all the wires and connection pieces. As long as you have the amp and the sub you're good. And the adjustment knob.

Q: QuestionWhen installing a subwoofer do you...Do you use an oscilloscope to test the subwoofer and amp setup? How do you set gain? Voltage meter using ohms law or a specialized tuner? Do you check for distortion? What exactly does a subwoofer installation cover?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer I have had several installs at geek squad involving subwoofers and when they tune the amp they use their ears. Best buy does not provide them with an o-scope or specialized tuner. If your lucky, you can find a tech there that has their own o-scope or voltmeter to do the tuning, but I've only encountered that once with a tech that has a master certification and he was really into car audio. I don't know where he went but where I go to do installs he is no longer there. Subwoofer install covers putting sub in box, that's it. The amp install is the main thing and it can be from $70-$125 depending on type of amp.

Q: QuestionI recently purchased a 12” powered JBL subwoofer, with the amp and sub all in one box, I was wondering if I would need to purchase the amp installation or the single sub installation or both. Would there be any discounts if I added a stereo installation?
Asked by Lucas.
- A:Answer i had the same deal myne was a powered kicker enclosure. i only paid for the amp install. and materials. if you have all other applicable parts IE wires and the like. but i don't think they'd charge for a sub install too if it is part of the box.

Q: QuestionWould geeksquad install dual 12" subs in an enclosed box and a separate amp same day if i drove there?
Asked by Jake.
- A:Answer I’ve tried randomly going to get work done and it’s hard because these guys are so busy. Better to call and schedule an appointment and let them know what work your are trying to do. From your question it will take 3-4 hours for amp, dual subs installation

Q: QuestionDoes it cost more money if you are getting two subs installed in two different boxesI have two 10" and want to put them into two different boxes on each side of my trunk. Would this package still work?
Asked by Erica J.
- A:Answer It would be $40 unless the tech is nice and does it for one but from my own experiences they will charge you for two. And I would look into just doing one box because two boxes will cancel each other out if facing one another.

Q: Questiongetting an amp installed and already have the wiring kit and inverter (all three new) is that a problem
