In-car sound system installer

I would like to find out if any of you have experienced good and knowledge service, as well as fair prices when it comes to automotive sound system installation. I have just purchased a Honda and the sound system is pretty bad.

Thanks in advance :)

Same here. I just bought a Honda S2000 and am looking for an experienced ICE installer who's not going to rip me off. I am planning to replace the stock head unit with an Alpine CDA-9855 with a dash control interface so I do not lose the remote control function. Have heard there is an installer oppo...

I have panasonic, kenwood and sony in mind. But which ones would give good bass and crispness as well ?? Thanks ! So you want good sound quality as well as bass? You want to find a rainbow with a pot of gold while we're at it? Without amplifier don't expect 'good' sound. Majority of aftermarket spe...

Ken, its better off, easier and cheaper ordering from the US and paying for freight + the 5% duty. Tell me about it. Was thinking of getting the whole lot shipped out of Singapore, including the CF bonnet. I have some good sources on Greddy, Cusco, ARC, Endless, AP Racing, Nisei, Apexi, Motec, etc ...

The VW Gti is a bit of an overrated car in my opinion. Certainly wouldnt be paying over 100K for it. The Pug RC is better value for money I think. Secondly, VW dealers are known for thier "dont fix it but replace it" policy - meaning, they wont bother oiling something that squeaks but wil...

I'm just finding it very difficult to comprehend how car prices in Dubai are that cheap!! Boxster = 159,700 AED = £24k (£33k in UK) Boxster S = 186,200 AED = £28k (£39k in UK) I've had look on Porsche's website, for both the UK & UAE, and the prices are roughly 30% cheaper. That is such a good ...

I was in Singapore last summer, and the prices there are the highest in the World!! Do you think it's worth buying something a couple of years old, or go with a brand new car? It depends. Buying used means you accept that you are buying the car in as-in condition, and any repairs after collection *...

Probably because they are operating under Ramadan timing these days. Reviews of the new Lancer have been good. While the base model is lacking in oomph, reviewers have noted that it handles pretty well. The upcoming GT model is supposed to offer more oomph and fills the gap between the standard Lanc...

Yeah, that's what I found as well. Will certainly give them a call. Called them earlier but no one picked up the call. Will see if I can get them to come in on a schedule, and I really hope they provide their own cleaning equipment :)
