Still need a car stereo installer --------->

[boxscore]

The installer's in here in the Desert are unacceptable... I will travel to have a chunk of work done to a new vehicle. But I need some rec's. Anyone ? Amps, speakers, double din Nav, etc. I need top notch work somewhere in So Cal

[Jordy]

Wired For Sound. Hands down. South of Crown Town. :D
OK, I'll stop. :D :D :D

[OutCole'd]

Do you have a Pep Boys close by?

[sigepmock]

Wired for Sound does nice work but so does Al & Ed's in Ontario.....right at the 10 fwy and 15 fwy in the Ontario Mills complex. Darren their installer is top notch, they really do some over the top installs.....
Call Dave at 909-481-8411. He owns the store.
Or PM me for his cell number, he's kinda hard to track down sometimes.

I have a guy that will come to you. He's done a bunch of work for my friends and there cars and boats. His name is Pat and the guys work is by far the neatest I''ve seen. His #714-457-8129. Let him know Rocky sent you.

[Jordy]

Let him know Rocky sent you.
Yeah, then he's going to charge you double to make up for the beating that Rocky gave him on his install. :D :D :D

[sigepmock]

Al & Eds would probably be fine for this particular install, but they don't do the work that we do. I know there's some Al & Eds cheerleaders on this site, but let's get real.
Wow .......I just lost a lot of respect for you and Wired for Sound.....nice professionalism :(

That's why ShockwaveBob is a fiberglass guy in the back and not a salesmen. Ultimately though what he said is pretty true.. WFS has done some pretty sano shit, and continues to do it on a regular basis.

[jasonwtc]

i have had my boat and last 2 trucks done by al and eds the one in orange kenny did the work never had any problems always does nice stuff and clean i wouldn't go anywhere else. the one in ontario i hear does good work also never had anything done there though

Dave,
I won't agrue that WFS does some sick installs on a regular basis and I'm not here to start a "This shop is better than that shop..." pissing match but I have seen work from both and would say I think Darren at Al & Ed's in Ontario has and can do work on the same level as WFS, they just don't do it as often.
Either way, someone asked for a good installer in SoCal and I offered up my recomendations, that's what this place is about right?
Chris

[jbtrailerjim]

AudiShoppe in riverside and Wired For Soud in corona are the best aound bar none!!!
I'll second the Audio Shoppe in Riverside but my opinion is a little biased. Alan the owner is my brother-in-law. He has done installs for me and I've seen a lot of trick stuff come out of his shop. He's been in business in the same location for over 20 years. He sells nothing but high end audio equipment. He is not the cheapest by far but he stands behind everything he does. Give him a call and tell him Jimmy sent you. (951)787-0550.

I thought this place was all about slinging mud on the internet.. ;) :D
Yeah your right.. At the end of the day though every stereo shop has done some "so/so" stuff, and some sick stuff. It just seems that WFS has a very high % of sick stuff coming out of there. I've referred probably 50 - 100 people to them, and everytime (even in the most anal of cases I.E. Nord) people come back flat amazed at what they get at the end of the day.

Here's the deal... custom laor takes more time.. you can do many more basic customs in the same time as you do a 15k labor ticket. like 3-5 that will pay right away and get into your installer's pockets in order to pay their bills...Most shops want to do custom with maybe a fiberglas install. getting into custom panels, paint, upholstery, trick wiring that will be shown, 5 amps or more, ading 2 alternators to a chargng system, etc. most shops loose their a s s because they don't know how to quote it.. It's also sticker shock to most customers as well... There's a fine line between getting true custom business at a fair price and raping a customer.
To say Wired is the only shop to do sick stuff in town is wrong. There are others that are equal to if not better, but expect to pay a premium for a guy who will have your car for 6 - 10 months getting it ready for a sq competition...
It's all fluf :D
That's all folks :D

boxscore is a baller.
Him spending $15K on an install is like 6 Dollar Boat buying a Happy Star.

I can speak for Audioshope in Riverside. Just had a amp, sub, and dvd system put in. Sounds great and very clean. I know some other peeps that had work done there and they were both very happy.

[WaTchTheGelCoat]

Check with Tweeter in Palm Desert. They did the system in my buddys Ultra and it turned out perfect. Their install team is top notch, other than wearing shoes in the boat, everything was perfect.

I agree with you. I know Dallas there and they did a great job on a custom install in my old Excursion. Ask Barbigrl, she has heard it, sounds great and real nice install

[RiverDave]

Well then let the pissing contest begin... LOL
I say we take a couple of board members boats out to the ole sandbar.. and see which ones are loudest, and which sticker is on the back of them. 9 outta 10 drinkers agree.. WFS is the shiznit. ;) :D

I should be safe since the WFS stuff starts out in the 6 figure range;) :crossx:

I haven't heard it since the upgrades.. Must've come out pretty good though. ;) :D
I'll put the ole Nordic up against it though and take the pepsi challenge. It's put up some pretty good DB #'s in the past, and I'll bet it still isn't to shabby for a 6 - 7 year old stereo. ;) :D
You going to be out there for Memorial day? I won't have the Nordic, but I'll have an Eliminator with similar setup in it to mine, and the Swanger..

[Havasu Hangin']

So I guess Dave wants to put $2K systems up against $20K systems? lol...
Being loud is one thing. Being loud (for a good price) and having any sort of SQ is another.

I can't compete DB wise to your 2 L5 12" subs with 1,000 watts since I am only running 1200 total.

We will be out there memorial but I don't like Pepsi :crossx::D

I'm running a 1000 to the high's and mids, but I'm pretty sure I'm only running 7 - 800 to the 2 subs.. I wouldn't know since I didn't put it in.. LOL I just push the CD in and go. ;) After a couple cocktails who really cares how "crisp" the SQ is.. I just wanted it to kill fish in the surrounding area and remove panties in the immediate area.

Why did you not call us? I sent you the info. We've already done two FJ Cruisers with exactly what you were looking for, in dash DVD, Nav, etc. We even lifted one. ;)
Called your guy. He said he'd install Kenwood double din Nav. I'm leaning towards Pioneer or Eclipse. That didn't seem to turn him on so much. Had some questions about defeating the Nav and DVD while driving, steering wheel controls, back-up camera. Kinda felt like I was bothering him! Oh well.

I don't usually post here often, but in this case it directly relates to me.

I am just glad to see that we are among the commonly mentioned shops on these boards. We take great pride in what we do, and in the overall satisfaction of our customers.
As far as competition or animosity between stores, I don't believe there is any. The great shops will rise to the top, and push the industry forward. I believe that all shops mentioned here have done an amazing job taking care of their customers, and developing amazing systems, or they wouldn't be mentioned here.
