Crowe river sound in peterborough...Too bad its gone since Dave "owner" took his life unfortunately. that was by far, the best store i had ever been too. They were rite into the competition scene sponsoring spl and sq vehicles and building pretty wild sounding installs.

They were around last year. Chase shares a store with another company. I remember chase back when he had that black Olds and would salivate over my car. 
Were you there when Perfect built the dodge ram for Blau or just after? That's when Iggy and Chris built my Camaro.
I know Craig (aka Bubba) is still around. Saw him last year at a car show. His "knight rider" car gets lots of attention. He managed to fit a 42" tv in the hatch of his Trans Am

Back in the early 90's during high school I remember a shop on yonge st. south of steeles on the west side below a commercial building. Can't recall the name but the owner was Lou. Big soundstream and kicker dealer at the time. Anyone could name it?
Also Crankin in Markham with Brad and Justin who were also big soundstream dealers and Rockford and Eclipse.
Autowerks on Eastern Ave.
There was also a shop just north of Kennedy Hi Fi on Nantuket who's owner was Chris who was a big US Amp dealer.
Wish these and alot more old school shops were still around.

Then when I worked there in 2002 I worked with Keith Walker, and Wes.
I worked on a ton of cars, the one that stand out were Kelly Reid's "Outlaw" Blazer when he had the 4 15's in it with RF power.
