I'm in the process of purchasing a new system, and have been touring some of the shops in the Atl area. I'm wondering if I end up buying the system pieces online (head unit, speakers, amps) which local shop will do a good job of installing it a reasonable price, and will they half-ass it or overcharge me since I didn 't buy from them.
I like to help the small business owners here, but some of the prices just don't compare. I'd save about $400 on a head unit vs. buying it locally. The install for now will involve a double din unit with i-pod cable and sat antenna, putting 6 1/2" components up front which require them to put the tweeters in the door or the a-pillar, dropping 5x7 replacements in the rear doors, and installing a 4 channel amp under the back seat. I'm considering doing some of the work myself, like the rear speaker and deadening all 4 doors.
Any current recommendations? I don't mind paying a fair install price for quality work that comes with a guarantee. Thanks.
