Default Stereo Shop Recommendations

I just purchased a 1991 911 C2 and the factory stereo and speakers suck on this car. I was hoping someone on here could give me a recommendation on a stereo shop that has good prices and does good work. I am new to the area so I have only been to Car Toys, since I saw it while driving and decided to stop. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

Default Car toys will rip you off, don't go there.

Sorry, I don't know of any good shops to go to, just where not to go.

Default Probably the best/ most expensive in the state.

Last time I was in there they had 2 996 Twin Turbos and an F355 in their install bay. Yeah, they do some nice cars

Default Where are you located, exactly?

I know some good sales people at the Magnolia Hifi in Roosevelt, and Mag will do a good job installing your stuff, too. Even if you don't buy from my friends, I'd find a Magnolia Hi-Fi near you. They're probably the best for MOST car stereo needs. If you want some really trick ****, then go to Innovative Audio over in Bellevue. But I'd say Magnolia Hi-Fi is a safe bet for most people.

Default Car Toys Puyallup did all of my Audio/Video stuff and.....

I am very satisfied with the customer service. Prices will vary from place to place depending if you bring in goods as a wholesaler or jobber. I was an installer for 2 years and I firmly believe you get what you pay for. Car Toys and Import Mix is having a huge sale and Car show this Saturday at Northgate mall, I'll be showing if ya wanna chat.

Default Mag HiFi in Everett

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/58425/98a4.jpg"></center><p>Ask for Dave and he will take really good care of you and have Brian do the install. These guys have been treating me right for years, most recently with the flawless addition of a sub to my Audi Bose system. At least pay them a visit and check out the stuff they've done to there own rides.
