Audio Designs / Hicksville, NY

Hi guys (and gals),

Have any of you had work done at:

Audio Designs
1 Newbridge Road
Hicksville, NY 11801
http://www.4audiodesigns.com

How would you rate their service, work, etc.

A couple of friends and I needed to have some audio/video/security work done, and we're looking for the best place in Long Island to do it.

If any of you have any other recommendations or know of places that I should stay away from, please let me know.

Thank you very much.

Regards,

Kev

Thanks a lot Darren for the link. AI Design looks very promising. I'll have to get in touch with them. Have you had work done by them Darren?

Ultra Sounds in Lynbrook, the best I've encountered and used. Speak to the owner John or the master installer Pete, great bunch of guys with dozens of trophies under their belt.

I grew up in the town next to them

Guys, I used to live in the next town over from Audio Designs and live an hour from AI design.
I know both Audio Designs work and AI's work and think in is insulting to AI design to even make a comparison. Audio Designs is a good shop for regular type products. They are not even in the same ballpark as AI design. I have been to both on several occasions. I think AI does some of the best quality work in the United States regarding electronics. I don’t know about their suspensions and modifications but can say with 100 percent certainty that their work is on a different level in audio. I also love their leather work. They did a quilted subwoofer in porsche that blew my mind. The sub was rapped in quilted leather like the old Ferrari’s.

See Pics Below -

I must agree with MWILENS
- AI Design is a least two standard deviations above the norm.

They literally turn dreams into reality with flawless execution -- But it comes at a very, very high price. My buddy gets all of his work done there and recently dropped $30k on electronic and cosmetic upgrades to his Cayenne TT -- with stuff like solar panels, alcantara inserts, etc. See this link.
