Car audio places in Chicago(Schaumburg)

check the phone book. most of them in the area are totally hidden. ive found a few in franklin park and norrage, but they sucked! i know of one in elgin that is real good, but i dont have the number on me ill try and post it later tonight.

 
Yeah the phone book is a good place to start. That's been a pain in the a$$ because I moved here from OK last year and have no idea where these places (burbs) are at. Then I don't want to drive half way across country and find out the places sucks butt. That's why I'm counting on you guys. So any good places that you recommend just give me the name and I will be happy to take it from there.

Thanks

my buddies bother owns the shop in elgin. they have top quality stuff and very knowledgable. my friend isnt awake yet so i cant call him to get the number. ill toss it up here when hes alive! how do u like schaumberg? u by woodfield? if you are near woodfield then this shop is about 15-20 min away.

 
Schaumburg is a nice area. Kinda $$$ though. But since we didnt know the area (chicago) we didnt really want to take a chance on a area unless it looked real nice if you know what I mean. Yeah I live just off golf about 4 miles past woodwield. Barrington and Golf to be exact. So Elgin is close enough for me.

hook up the illum. wire. this way it lights up at night for ya. yes i installed all my own suff. i have a few friends in the area that are into car audio. one has a 99 camry: kenwood HU, infinity fronts and back, jl 500/1, and jl 12w? in the jl 4th order band bass. the dudes shop you r callin, his brother (my friend) has a 2000 sonoma extreme pioneer permier HU mb quart door amd 4*6 (dash) and hes currently upgrading his subs. he had some polk momo's but hes tore the spider in them so into the closet they went. if you need any help installing any thing let me know im sure i can get some help for ya.

ps. let me know if dudes shop was able to help you out

 
thats what i had planned on doing. i cant what to get the hu in. proly gonna do it tomorrow. depending on if i can stand the cold. i still need a couple decent amps for lil cash. i have read good ratings on us acoustics. am considering getting a couple from zeb.com. i have 2 chrome plated solo 10's and 1 10" comp vr. (all are the old round ones but are still brand new in box) and a alpine 6 channel that im gonna use to power mids and highs. not sure what 6.5's and 4x6's i wanna use yet. gonna build my own box and amp rack and install it all under the back seat in my truck. might be tight fit but im sure i can make it work.

 
for the 4*6's i recomend plates. (not the ovel speaker) they are a whole lotcleaner sounding and can handel higher volumes. any decent 6.5 will sound nice in your doors. being that they are fairly large and hollow. i love truck systems!! i had a 98 sonoma reg. cab that i fit 2-10" pioneer's behind the seat, 3-way pioneer 6.5" in the doors (in the wifes truck now) and 4*6 pioneer oval speakers (they were ok till you turned it up) i drive a camry now and have some kicker comps that friggin rock.
