speaker system installation image
Katherine
I don't even know where to start. I need to know what I need to do a full installation of an outdoor speaker stereo system. Questions I have range from: What kind of receiver do I need? How do the outdoor speakers hook up to a receiver that's inside? Do I need an outdoor volume controller? If so, how do I hook that up as well?
I really need "start from scratch" instruction guide. Please help.

Not sure where to find an Idiots Guide but can tell you what I did with outdoor speakers.
First, buy speakers that are suited for outdoor use. I mounted them under the overhang of the roof around the patio.
Lot's of choices on speakers, some are designed to look like large stones that you can place in a garden, etc.
I ran speaker wire to the inside where the audio equipment is located.
Have a Yamaha receiver that is hooked to the external speakers as well as the inside speakers, TV, VCR, etc.
The receiver has a speaker switch. You can select the speakers you want to use. It is like an A/B switch.
You can also buy wireless speakers. They will be more expensive and I am not sure how well they work.
You might go to Radio Shack and see what they carry in speakers. Have them draw out the hookups for you. I am not touting Radio Shack, any number of good stores handle audio equipment.
I would not want to invest a tremendous amount of money in exterior speakers. To many things can happen to them and you will not be able to tell the difference in sound quality outdoors, anyway.
Good luck

How much should it cost to get a new car stereo and speaker system installed?

I got an estimate of about $615 and have no idea whether or not that's reasonable. The stereo head set itself is about $130 and the speakers are $80 each, plus tax and whatever installation costs. Is that a reasonable price?
Answer
This is how i figure it
head unit: $130 + mounting kit $20 + wiring harness $10 + installation $50 = $210 at most to install the head unit
speakers: $80 x 4 = 320 + installation ($40 maybe)
360 + 210 = $570 plus tax
thats an expensive install for only getting speakers and a new head unit
