Stereo Installer Suggestion

I've ordered some pioneer parts along with the GT3 console delete kit...

And I'm in Los Angeles area.
Does anyone know a good stereo installer near Los Angeles that I can have them put all my parts together?

I had Reus done my previous system, but they're just too far away from me (30-40min drive w/o traffic, 1-2hr w/ traffic)...
Do you guys know any other good ones around my area????

I'm just doing the 7500DVD head unit, XM, DVD Nav I had, and also the new CD Changer.

Sincerely,

Kevin

I am not sure on a location but that sounds like a six hour + install. Where are you planning to put the NAV unit??

the nav unit will go to the one of the top two spaces...
haven't decided whether to put it on the top, or on the bottom...
b/c if on the bottom, i won't be able to use the temperature unit...(but it looks better this way)
but if on top, the trim is a bit tilted at certain angle, i'm not sure if the flip up screen is able to open well in such case...

what are ur suggestions?

yeah Darren, i'm thinking of going back to reus as well...
b/c ever after i changed my head unit from porsche, i lost all the sound... i can't even hear the fm and am anymore...
i guess if reus installed it, they're more famaliar with the wiring they did...

Kevin...

Forgot about using the top...i have the Kenwood DVD/NAV flip up on the bottom (of the top center console) and it barely misses the air vents. I moved my temperature to the bottom, but if you delete the bottom console, I guess that's not an option

The tuner...aftermarket tuners are generally horrible in this area...I've heard some good ones...the Alpine XM units seem to pick up AM better...but I doubt it has anything to do with XM...just one of the decks I tried out.

Paris Audio on Pico does excellent work!

Also, there is a guy that Wilber knows at Sprewell who is supposed to be one of the best found anywhere. You should ask him...

thanx Chris... I guess the top slot is not the option then ~><~ that sucks...

Tyson: thanx... Paris Audio is much closer to my place... b/c I need a ride home... and there is no way i'm gonna get a taxi from orange to LA during traffic hrs... I'll ask Wilber into that for sure...^_^

The guy at Sprwell did the system in my X5...very well done. I wish I could show you the car, but it's now sold.

thanx Chris:
Actually I've just phoned Reus... and talked to Rick...
They're willing to pick up my car in LA, and send it back to me when it's done...
I'm now thinking of doing a bit more upgrade other than just installing the new units...
changing my speakers now...
and will do the amp and rest of others later...
spent too much on cars lately... suspension, front kit, repainted all the bodykits... bla bla bla... =_=" more than 15G lately... sigh...
if I keep it up like this...i'll go broke anytime sooner...
