Rep Power: 0 Advice on audio equipment installers please!!!
Hi guys and gals, I really want to swap the OEM speakers in my sedan for a set of Infinity's, but after a really bad past experience with a big-box electronic store damaging my car I've become very paranoid of people taking my car apart.
I'd like to know if anyone can recommend a place that can do this install with their eyes closed. Obviously with plenty of experience with 7th gens.
Thanks!

Rep Power: 0 Thanks for the replies guys; I'd like to avoid Best Buy and Futureshop if at all possible. I'm sure some of those guys know what they're doing, but to quote Forrest Gump: "You never know what you're gonna get"
I've heard about Auto Trendz from a co-worker, but it was about remote starters. Can you recommend a particular person? Or is everyone there competent?
I'd really prefer to stay in the Ottawa area, since I don't have a lot of time to spare at the moment, putting in 72hrs a week at work. But I might wait until after the holidays, in which case I'll have time to spare and head down to Cornwall. Thanks for the offer Hemi, I might take you up on it.
Again, thanks all.

Rep Power: 303 not sure man, I had it done 2 yrs ago, and at the time I think they only had one audio-specific installer.. it was a guy in his late 50's, but he def. knew what he was doing. Their quality is good though, that's for sure

Rep Power: 0 Yah I got mine installed at Dashworks ... they did a pretty good job. I'd go back again if I was getting another one ... it was like $75 or something like that.

Rep Power: 0 Cool, they did some work on my buddy's old SVT Contour, and it was very good. I think I'll look into that.
Thanks!

Rep Power: 0 No offence, but after the huge headaches I just went through...I'd rather deal with someone who is insured
Not that I'm doubting your abilities, but anything can go wrong on any given day.

modifying your car is about the joy of working on your car, not the joy of letting people work on your car.
