[QUOTE="kingtj, post: 8433668, member: 667533"] Thanks for the recommendation. I *think* I actually spoke to Chris once, on the phone, not long after I first bought the Jeep. At that time, I was just trying to find a shop nearby that could assist with getting an amp installed, and was getting frustrated with the results talking with shops in Maryland. (Basically, we have very few options unless you go out near Baltimore. The Frederick, MD Best Buy recently told me they have about a 3 month backlog on doing any installation appointments, because several other DC area Best Buy stores started sending all of their work out to the Frederick location. And as many of us know, Best Buy isn't really your first choice for car audio work!) I wound up using a small shop in Rockville, MD -- Absolute Electronix. They were really accommodating about getting work done while I waited on a Saturday morning, and my installer (Mark, I believe) did good work. But I got the idea their sales guy wasn't so knowledgeable about anything technical (had to keep going out and bugging the installer to answer questions I had). And when I talked to the guys doing the install work directly, they just didn't seem to want to discuss anything other than doing things "their way". All the parts they used were billed at full retail MSRP pricing, too. I know they have to make their money like everybody else. But hey -- as a PC technician, I never billed full retail on parts I could obtain at discounted/reseller pricing.
