where can i get PAC unit installed?

I'm trying to install Pac aux unit to my 04sedan for my ipod. It's too complicate to intall by myself. So I want it to be installed by an expert. Can anyone recommand stereo shops, which knows G very well and cheaper, around LA or Santa Monica area? I called two shops and they estimated $100 and $85 just for the installation. I read a post in this forum, some place would charge about $50~
And $80 is the best price for the PAC unit?

Thanks

cheap and quality install doesn't go well together in my opinion..

I know Sound Advice in Mission Viejo is kinda far but its worth the drive. I drive down there for my installs and so have a couple of other members on the forum. give them a call and see whats up

Does the expensive Y-adapter make any differece in sound quality?
I purchased 6-Ft Specialty Y-Adapter from Fry's which is $1.50 but many people buy $8 Y-adapter from Radioshak or better. I am just wondering how much big difference b/w the $8 and $1.5 cable in sound quality.. Should I buy more expensive one?

Are you still in this forum? I still need your unit

in most cases cables are cables.. in this case you want to make sure your cable has some form of sheilding so it is less succeptable to interference from other electronic components, but normally most audio cables are sheilded. Gold contacts don't do much when it comes to audiable differences and besides that its just copper wire.

Usually I am subscribed to threads where discussions are taking place with me/my name. I didnt catch this thread. I think I got most of your PMs... If I didnt, sorry - please just let me know how I can help you.
