I live in LA, CA and was wondering if anybody knows a trust worthy audio install place that can do a perfect and clean job and that i can be satisfied on a coupe in the SoCal area? I want to install:

AVIC-Z1
JL AMPS
JL SUB
Front components and rear 6x9

NEED HELP!!!

I know this maybe the wrong place to post, but I cant post in the socal forums for some reason.

 

Competition Soundworks in Artesia. Work is truly top notch. There are places that are a little bit cheaper, but you definitely get what you pay for as I've seen other installs that looked good but always had problems down the line. Their website is www.teamcsw.com. If you want, I can meet up w/ you and show you my system that they did so you can hear it and check out the work. Send me a message if you have any questions...good luck

 

Yeah Competition Soundsworks are pros. A little pricey but you get what you pay for. they do a lot of high end magazine and show cars. I was there one time and they were installing a seriously ridiculous system for a Pioneer factory show truck. If it can be done they can do it.

 

I called competition soundworks and they quoted me $600 just to install:

AVIC-Z1
IPOD adaptor
XM NAV Traffic
Bluetooth Adaptor
PAC SWI-PS

Is this right? Is there anywhere else in the OC area that is trust worthy and know how to work on G35 coupes? How is "Beach Autosound" in Huntington Beach, CA?

 

I really wouldn't take my G to any other shop in the area. I tried to cut corners on my eclipse double din install; and ended up costing more in the long run than if I had just taken it to Competition in the beginning. It's worth the peace of mind to pay a little more for their expertise.

 

i would also like to know the price range for "good" install? i guess most of the cost goes to the parts that you will be using? like amp kits, speaker wires, necessary stuff like wood to install your speakers or anything that needs fabrication in order to get it properly installed?

 

The majority of the cost goes into labor, part cost is minimal. (unless you are talking about the parts needed for skyline double din conversion which is a couple hundred) Also, to skyline03, they probably just gave you a ballpark estimate. See if you can visit on a weekend, ask for Shawn, and he'll hook you up.

 

Thanks optimystic06 fr the info. I'll probably visit them this week. Just curious has anyone been to "Beach Autosound"?

 

Go to sound station
in cypress

 

I went to All Star Sound in Long beach for my double DIN install. They do great work.
