Sound Innovations or Audiomobile?

Hey guys,
I've searched this forum, seems like ppl usually goto
Alan @ Audiomobile in Oakland or
Ernie @ Sound Innovation in Hayward.

I believe SI charges about $75 per hr.
and Audiomobile is ~$50/hr. Was wondering if labor charges includes lets say a fiberglass box they are going to make for you? Or do they cahrge u X dollars on top of however long it takes them to make it?

Cant go wrong w/ either of them?
I guess i will give them a call this wk, but was wondering how much i should expect to pay, i have all the equipment already (front comps, rear coaxials, 2 amps, sub). I want to have a ballpark figure before i talk to them. But seems like both shops may be worth the price? Any feedback would be great, or pm me. thanks!

btw, anyone heard of Peter's Auto Radio on Lombard st. in SF?

Since I have had work done at SI , I would recommend them. But I would go to both shops and talk to both of them before you make your decision.

I had my compustar alarm put in there......awesome work. Anytime I have been there, there is usually a G or Z in the shop being worked on. The work I have seen is pretty sweet too! Puting in components is pretty standard, but the fiberglass is all custom and can be made any way you and the shop decides. I have heard great things about SI also....I would say to swing by both shops, take a look at their work, get an idea of what the box and components placement is like, and then decide from there.
