Just letting you know about the Reus Audio scam, so buyer beware..

Reus Audio in California "tailor makes" and upgrades audio systems on premium cars, and will fly a technician to your home anywhere in the country to work on your car. They have many testimonials of those who are pleased with their work.
However, what you don't know is that they take everyone's deposit, but leave some out there hanging. That's right--they take money for more jobs than they can actually handle, but then decide which ones they'll do (based on potential profit). They don't actually TELL you that they are scamming you, they just blow you off...

I myself am a victim, having placed a deposit nearly 7 months ago for my upgraded system on my porsche, which of course hasn't been done. Examples: in one conversation with them, about 2 1/2 months ago, they apologized for the delay and said my "components" were finally in stock, being assembled, and would be shipped out in a few days. I received nothing. Examples of some of my calls: "Clif isn't in town, he'll be back tomorrow"...
so then here's my next call (two days later): They answer "Who is this"...after I answer, they say "Oh, yes, ummm, errrr, Clif, umm, isn't here, he'll call you back tomorrow"... And, guess what, of course he never calls. You get the picture...

Btw, I have subsequently searched for and found others that this has happened to, so I've figured out Reus' story. Unfortunately, it's nearly impossible to collect, out-of-state especially, and the others have lost their money.
My advice is to NOT risk your money with this outfit. I know that some people have gotten good work done. I realize now that my mistake was ordering their "basic" upgrade, but giving too large a deposit, so they've already made their money on me. This put me on their "customer-to-be-screwed" list.

WOW, sorry to hear that. I thought that I saw something last year on the forums about Reus being a scammer, but I forget the story.

 

I had similar issue w/Rick Reus a few years back when I game him $2500 to outfit/upgrade my 06 E55 in a MB group buy. It took forever for them to get the parts and build my custom enclosure for the trunk. I had enough and decided to cancel after a few months of waiting, however, I had to get my attorney involved to get my money back. After 2 bounced checks from Rick, the third one actually cleared after 1 year of going back and forth. Stay away from this company...

 

They nearly always have a demo car at "Cars and Coffee" here in Irvine on Saturday mornings. While the demo sound systems sound impressive, I've sometimes wondered if they use a CD with a very high dynamic range that helps with the better sound. I've been tempted to ask them what CD they're using so I can compare the sound of it in my stock system for apples/apples comparison. But I think I'll just give them a wide berth based on the above experiences.

 

There's a lot if bad stuff out there
