Just as the title states, does anyone have any good install shops they can recommend? Preferably in the south bay.

After going 5+ years without anything in my car, I'm finally getting a sound system done. Yes, I've driven around an 04 STi this whole time with no stereo or anything.


Edit: Maybe I should clarify and be a little more specific.

I'm just looking to have some very entry-level stuff installed in a very basic manner. I have a relatively inexpensive head unit Dual XHD6425, its associated Bluetooth Module, a Phoenix Gold XS4300 amp, and am currently searching for decent sounding 6.5" components that won't break the bank.

That's all my setup/install is going to require. Head unit, amp, front speakers, and some sound deadening. I can't afford, nor am I looking for any super elaborate or expensive system, so while the stuff Bing and Simplicity Sound does looks simply amazing, it's not exactly what I'm after. I'm just adding sound to a car that had no sound to begin with (unless you count the sound of engine/transmission/road/tires).

So with that said, can anyone recommend a basic, no-frills installer that wouldn't mind working on a simple setup like this? I should also mention I need this done pretty soon (i.e. within the next 2 weeks) because I'm moving down to Socal on the 19th.

Thanks guys!

gone through all his threads on diyma and you can't go wrong with simplicitysound.

not only will it look pimp, it'll sound freaking fantastic.

Thanks guys.

It's a really simple and basic setup, but I went ahead and sent Bing an email because it looks like he does excellent work.

sound innovation in hayward does excellent work

Simplicity Sound wasn't quite the right fit for me, but thank you anyway to everyone who recommended it.

I'm still looking for an installer. I also updated the original post with more details that I should've probably included from the beginning.

how much you looking to spend on install?

simplicitysound

hey bud...yeah with budget restraint and the long waiting list i have and you moving, unfortunately cant do it...

within your budget...sound innnovations is definetly out, ernie and junior i consider my freinds and do some of hte best work in the country, but they are pretyt high level when it comes to budget.

like i said, i can contact my friend who does little jobs on the side and see if hes free, the problem is there are many many shops that would do your car for your budget, but its a crapshoot whether or not you get rolled into a hacksaw when it comes to install quality.

i will hit you back when i findout what my freind says.

Not in the South Bay, but I would try Audiomobile in Oakland.

yeah, you can give Al and Bo a shot, if you are willing to drive up there, id idnt suggest it to you beucase i wasnt sure how far you are willing to drive.

call them up if you want, and ask for Al or Bo, tell them Bing referred you and see what he can do for ya.

I don't really have a set budget per se. I'm just looking to spend as little as possible while still having a relatively high quality clean install.

Thanks for the recommendation Lurk and Bing. I don't mind driving a little further away for good work. I'll give them a call later today and see what they can do.
