OK, as I get closer and closer to my new TSX, I've been trying to figure out all that I can do to it and put into it in the first few weeks of ownership I figure audio work is going to be the first thing I do (OK, maybe second after clear bra). I did the prerequisite search for something like this but haven't come up with any recommendations for my area. I don't mind travelling a bit to get to a place, especially if they're open on weekends, so anything in MD / DC / Nova is in play.

Can anyone recommend custom audio shops around the DC area? What I'm looking for is a place that can build a sub and amp into the side or back of my trunk, do some basic carpet work with it to secure it in place and make it all look neat and tidy. Any pics of their work or a website link as well would be much appreciated.

So, more than just a place that installs amps and box subs. I've found a lot of places that can do that, but I want a place that can go the extra distance, and don't mind paying the extra for it. Thanks!

 

Sorry, man, my knowledge of that area for installs is nil. Wish I could help...

 

IF you don't mind traveling to NJ.......

 

It's kind of limited, try Audio Explosion in Silver Spring on Brookville RD.
I heard the guy at Tweeters in Columbia is a wizard and the youngster who works as the manager in the evenings at Circuit City in Rockville may be able to work with you or give you some information.

I've seen Audio Explosion's custom work on trucks, looks real tight

 

StreetEffectz- where exactly are you? It could be an excuse to go for a nice weekend drive in my (to be) new car On one hand, I'd seriously consider it, I've seen your work and the competition stuff you've done is well above and beyond what I'm looking for. I imagine you charge a pretty penny for your services (and you deserve to charge that, no complaints) so maybe a more lowly shop / installer is a better bet for me.
If you're up to scheduling a lowly install with me, we could probably work something out, PM me with info. I'll at least message you back.


g1underground-
Thanks a lot for the local recommendation. I know there is piss here for custom shops like that. I'll check them out for sure though.

...Any more thoughts washingtonians?

 

I will vouch for the guy at Tweeter in Columbia. He used to work with me. He is an awesome installer, really knows his shit. He has been installing for around 15 years. If you want someone to trust go there. The Car stereo manager is Jeff and the install manager is Dan. Both great guys, give Jeff a call the store number is 410.997.8338.

 

Thanks gmfreed, did he do the install in your car (whats in your profile)? If not, who did that, and where?
