So Cal- good places to install Audio?

Hey guys! just became a member a few days ago and have been browsing around the site, good stuff! cant wait to go to the next meet
I do need some help.. i got my 04 TL last week and i'm interested in installing some aftermaket speakers, 2 amps and the 3sixty signal processor. i pretty much have all the equipment but i do need it installed professionally. I would usually go to Al & Ed's Auto sound in Lawndale and they've always done a good job but i'm wondering if you guys know if theres anything better out there. sorry i havent moded a car in years..lol
any help will be appreciated.

Competition Soundworks

Competition Soundworks in Artesia came highly recommended. I have a friend that used them for an install and elduderino recommended them for my speaker install. Here is their info . Their website is http://www.competitionsoundworks.com/ but for some reason its not working for me.

Just to clarify, I didn't use them for my install. I installed the speakers myself.

Was it difficult? i've installed speakers in my 99 civic myself but this TL seems like a much harder task since i'm trying to install the Mb quart components, i think they come with a cross over you have to install, i dont think i can handle all that..lol.. did you change out the tweeters in the dash? was that hard?

I have a TSX. The tweeters in the dash were the easiest set to do. The rear deck 6x9s were straightforward as well. It was the door speakers that took the most time since I had to take the inside panels off. Also, I replaced the OEM speakers with Avincar speakers which were made to fit the TSX so I didn't need to do any cutting, drilling, or measuring. Your install is a lot more involved because you have the amps and processor to install as well.

Search around Audio & Video to see if anyone else had done your style of install. MB Quart is a popular line so there probably are members out there that have done the speaker swap.

If it was me, I'd probably try to find some pros to do it for me.

The place I go to is called Advanced Car Creations. I personally deal with Tuan. He's a good friend of mine. Prices are negotiable and they do a great job with installation. They're located in garden grove. I'm not sure how far that is from where you're at. here's their website, however, they havent updated the website for a while.
