hey.. whats a good shop to go to around seattle area.. i am about to order a system online and trying to find a shop thats good to install it.. i was thinking magnolia hi fi.. but i think it will be over priced.. any one have experience with car toys?? think they will be cheaper

 

Talk to Aznj, guy used to own a G and now has an evo. He comes on here every now and then still but he's a great audio installer and should be able to do anything you need for a much better price than any store will be able to

 

I used to work at Car Toys, I believe aznj works at southcenter/tukwila car toys, I had all my stuff installed from Phil Tweet at Federal Way Car Toys, Call around get prices, i can get you a discounted price as long as you ask for Dan/Marshall (salesmen) tell them you were referred from Brian from this website and theyll give you a better price. phil does all custom work etc.

or PM aznj and see if he can hook you up on the side or at the shop.

 

Nope, John left Car Toys, and is working back at the Southcenter Circuit City now.

Charlie: John is the guy to go to. He installed the sub/amp in both my rides. Tell him I sent you.

 

thanks a lot guys.. what do you guys recommend me getting for subs and amps?? i am getting the pioneer z2... but not sure about what subs to get

 

depends on what you want really and price. I put focal stuff in my car, people like jl audio....thats too basic of a question!

 

im trying to spend about 500 on 2 subs. and about 500 on an amp...

 

Ive always liked the jl 500/1v2 paired up with the jl 10w3v3 subs. should cost retail at 549.99 + 229.99 +229.99 = 1010 but i can get you 10% off so around 910 for your gear plus tax.

as for the avicz2 where are you getting that at? Its retail at 2200, but the cartoys version comes with backup cam bluetooth and ipod cable. which you can get for 1980 plus tax.

dont forget the kit at riverside infiniti for 270shipped. You dont need to buy a cage, they will use the factory one that holds your stock 6disc changer (05-07).

 

well im out! so if you are interested in getting any of that at car toys, gimme a call 253 200 0736 brian

 

A pair of Elemental designs 11ov.2 combined with a ED nine.1 will own a pair of 10w3v3's and a 500/1v2 IMO for alot less money

 

ive never heard of them.. are they reliable.. where can i find there stuff at redlude??

 

cartoys prices are way overpriced.. the jl 500 amp is only 350 on ebay and the 10w6 are 500 bux for a pair of them. so thats only 850 for that. and the avic z2 is about 1500 with backup camera, bluetooth and ipod cable. but if you can hook up installation that be cool.

 

JL 500 and W6's...do it!

 

Elemental Designs is mainly an online company, but one of the best bang for the buck products out there. The 11ov.2's were made to compete with the 10w6's so they'll stomp on the 10w3's, the 10w3v3's should only be used with up to 500w RMS, while the 11ov2's can go to 800w RMS. The ED nine.1 does 1200wRMS@1ohm, over twice what the 500/1 does. IMO, that setup will pound WAY harder than the JL system you are considering, a comparable JL setup would be a pair of 10w6v2's and a 1000/1v2, go ahead and price that one and see what the difference is. You can buy all that gear at http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/index.php, make sure you purchase the subs and amp as a package to get an additional 15% off. Total for 4 11ov2 dual 4 ohm DVC subs + nine.1 is only $561. You also get a 5 year warranty as opposed to the ebay JL stuff which has no warranty at all.

 

+1 For Brian Great guy!!! A++++ Service and good **** when i stop dumping money into my bike I will buy a in dash dvd Yep i think i am keeping my car now lol.....
