This install was done by Matt Stallone back in Aug 1998 when he owned "Sounds Good Car Audio".

It sounded like crap too. I recently removed everything from the car.

What bothers me is why did you not remove it before ? Why did you drive with it for so long ?

So you paid $800 for that? Actually, about what I would expect for $800 (half *** box and amp rack with no other custom work) but obviously you were promised way more.

I was willing to pay more if the job was done right.

I just could not trust anyone and I was pissed off for years. So, I did not get it done again.

Now, the equipment is dying so I removed everything.

Its sad how a shop can do that kind of job,, to be in the industry and put out that kind of work..

Now my work isn't the best.. but it's been done by me and saved alot of money in labour..

Finding the good installers is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I finally found two --

1. Tim Baillie
2. Speed of Sound in Victoria

Tim is an awesome installer and so are the guys at Speed of Sound. They both are awesome and you can trust them.
