Any reputable sound system place

Im starting to notice/hate my stock bose system. Any one knows or can recommend someone that can help me improve my system. There is a lot of mix thought on how to upgrade the system on g35driver. Maybe someone local can help me figure out what the heck is needed to upgrade my system while keeping the stock head unit. Don't want to spend a fortune either. Anyone know a such a place or someone that can help me?
thanks

i suggest audio design...they were Dynamic sound before? not quite to sure. The other place i go to is Audio Wave Plus...Ask for Jose or Junior...if you are looking for that true sound and want a custom sound...
http://simplicity.elitecaraudio.org/index.html

the guy put in quality work...i am trying to get set up by him...

where i took my impala to get subwoofers was at aroyal Electronics off of old oakland road and commercial.

Auto Sound & Security, my boy went through him because he knew the owner...raved about him...when i went in there to ask questions about subs...he was impatient and acted like i had no money.....hate that feeling...but get it alot...

NEVER GO TO FRYS!!!!!!!

dont go to Kar Toyz either...bad customer service and again they act they are the sh*T....

i know it's not answering your question but i am giving you a heads up on audio places....

my best bet try audio design or audio wave plus to help you out...

hope this helps

Bing does some of the best work around and will work with you on all aspects. Your install should be under $500 so I hope things work out for you..

You are lucky you have a sedan... You can fit a few 12's in there. Good thing with bing is he does mainly stealth installs so you will not even see any of your equipment. Take a look at my gallery to see the install he did.... He most likely is booked til May.

i wouldn;t mind going to bing but the prob is he doesn't do sub only. He only does full system which he said min is around 1500...He doesn't add subs from what i understand last talking to him in like nov/dec. So yea...needa find a place or someone that does it on the side...

Bing adds subs he just doesnt do the 1 sub go away with stock speakers type tasks. (thats how i ended up buying a complete system... lol) i had 2 12's i was gonna put in my coupe but he wouldn't do it.

btw if your keeping the stock unit id suggest the MTX RE-Q to be installed (btw i have one 4sale if interested), the stock units when put to higher volumes it lowers output to speakers/bass. with the RE-Q it fix's that prob. i bought mine to put in my car but ended up buying a double din HU instead.

ill look at the place near my work in fremont they do regular installs of what ever u wish i just dont know there pricing, there off auto mall.
