Death to the Monsoon. Where's the best place to get your car stereo installed? I have JL Audio XR650CXI and XR650CSI replacement speakers and a 10W6 JL Audio sub with JL Audio 500/1 mono amp and 300/4 amp. I'll need a fiberglass enclosure built in the driver's rear corner for the sub. I'm about to purchase the head cd unit. I'm trying to decide on the expensive Alpine IVA-D900 dvd mutimedia screen or save my cash and go with the Alpine phantom face 7998. The amps will go in the trunk on the inside rear wall so as not to get in the way of the t-top holders. I'd like a couple of neons to accent the amps and sub. I've been to A&B sound, expensive but they seem to do nice work. Any suggestions for this job would appreciated.

 

I don't know if you're interested due to the distance away from where you live - but there is a shop out here in the Wack that does good work.
It's called MusicWorx.
Owners name is Jim.

I've been going there since I was a teenager.

 

Just make sure you dont write down your address and I would give them your cellphone # only. There have been a few audio places that were caught selling the addresses of customers to thieves. Few weeks later your new stereo system is gone. Look over the car and make sure all your interior panels fit tight and have no cracks/scratches before the install. Then take a look after. It is pretty easy to damage plastic interior panels (the clips that hold them on etc break easy) so if they do make sure you bring it to their attention before it leaves the shop. Ill admit I have broken a lot of door panel tabs etc and I am more careful than most.

 

when you go there whereever you go. take your papers out of the car. that is where they get you address from. it was beamriders that was getting caught but i cant remember if it was the langley or surrey store. and that was like 5 yrs ago or more

 

My cousin had his stereo stolen buy the "shop" that did the work. It was stolen AFTER they put the $1000 Alpine alarm in the car

Go to Creations in Langley...I've seen their work, and its AWSOME!

yea i would go to Creations. he did my work and it is top notch. his name is Brett. He drives a ford though and so do all his buddies, but his work is good. i had him make a fibreglass enclosure for my 12 in the drivers cubby back there and everything still fits like it should. my friend joe went to visions in langley or surrey, and well i can't say the same about the fitment of his box. his is pretty ****ty.
go see Brett at Creations

I never thought of those two thiings Cory, great advice and I will heed it. I'll try Creations in Langley before I commit to A&B Sound. Thanks guys.
