Help!! DC Area Installer Needed

Hey wonerful people..I plan on getting an entire system installed (Double DIN radio, 2 amps, sub, speakers, CD changer). Does anyone know of a reliable installer in the DC/NoVA/MD area that can do the job right, and preferably worked on a G35 before? I understand it is a pretty detailed install (I want the factory nav voice option, and steering wheel controls) so I don't trust Best Buy or anyone like that. I have a friend that got alot of work done at Tweeter on his F-150, but I don't think his install was as complicated as mine will prove to be. So if anyone knows of one please reply. By the way I'm looking for quality so $$$ isn't that important...of course I'd like not to pay $1500 for install!!

Yeah I was going to suggest Tweeter. I have heard that Myer Emco does a good quality install (at leats for a friend of mine) however you have to purchase your items through them for them to install it.

Pratik thanks for the info...I don;t plan on getting the stuff from ME so they're out of the running...Did you instal your equipment yourself or did Tweeter do it for you? If so which one did you go to? Thanks

Sorry, maybe I gave you bad advice that you had to buy it through them. I'd suggest Tweeter then. I really dont know of any little shops that would be willing to do it. Your install is a little more involved considering you're doing a whole double din setup. You may be a little hard pressed to find a small mom and pop shop that has done a double-din before.

Maybe you should get a quote from Tweeter and go from there. In the meantime I'll see what I can find out for you abotu some other good shops around town.

I'm not sure for this particular install but I had a friend who used to do installs at Car Toys in Rockville, everything I saw him installed came out top notch though. Also I know an installer at Westminster Speed and Sound which is a little bit farther up in Maryland, I can check with him and see if they've done anything with a G.

Since you're local too. Try and come out for the 23rd meet that we are planning. The more the merrier. I'd also like to see how the install comes out

If you're in the Tyson's area, you might want to checkout Hurley's. They've done work for me and some friends before. That said, I took my G to Tweeter.
