Hey guys,

Looking for a good installer, just need to put in a sub and two front speakers + amps. i took it to a place in OC where they botched the install when they put the amps under my seat, one of the screws went through the body on the bottom of my car. the guy made it right but theers still a hole that I'm going to have repaired, but i found some great deals on a jl audio stealth box along with some 2 or 3 way front speakers so was hopefully looking for someone that can do a clean install for me!! thanks for the help

John

I'm getting my pioneer head unit installed today at Audio Lab in Laguna Hills/ Lake Forest, they have great reviews so I'll get back to you on how they do.

i actually got my sub and amp installed there..their install wasn't very good, they got a screw that went through the bottom of my car when they installed the amp under my seat so i was not very happy but the owner (sam) was cool and took care of me in terms of refunding me the money i paid for install and offering to fix it (of course not through insurance, so i wanted to do it with my own guys that i trusted) what are you getting done? just make sure to deal with sam and ask exactly how they are going to install it and that nothing goes through the bottom of your car. also make sure that they explain to you what kind of wiring they use. i took my car to another shop to have them inspect it and was told that the wiring was very cheap and not really copper but more of a aluminum copper so see if you can opt for the more expensive install kit

Lol I went to another place, West Coast Audio in mission viejo. I brought the head unit to the audio lab first and the wiring harness and the dash kit wasn't with it, so he said he can't install it which is bull because what radio shop doesn't have a wiring harness? Anyways I went to the other place in mission viejo, and they threw in a reverse camera at a discount. Good job install. I installed a Pioneer AVH-X5700BHS head unit and a back up camera

Hit up Lance at Newport Autosound in Costa Mesa.

Does beautiful clean work. He did my entire system on my Charger.
