It really all depends on how much you are willing to spend and what kind of quality you demand from the install. What are you installing and/or what are you looking to get done? Some of the more high quality shops around here in OC (I'm in Yorba Linda myself) are Xtreme Audio and Alarm in Anaheim and New Age Audio in Fullerton. However, I'm just warning you that you will probably pay extra for their expertise...they usually do high end installs and custom work. From my experience, however, you get what you pay for in the world of car audio installation. It may be worth spending a little extra $$$ to know that your install will be done right.

Todd (doublewhoosh) is an active CL member with over 15 years of competition stereo installs under his belt. He runs a shop in Carson that even stereo manufacturers use when they need installs for car shows. And best of all, he specializes on Lexus cars!

Agree 100%...Todd's reputation speaks for itself. Unlike other car audio shops (the typical dime-a-dozen shops), TM Engineering can make it look awesome, make it sound awesome, and do it RIGHT. Having those three things mixed together is, suprisingly, very rare among the car audio shops today (from what I observed and experienced).

Another place I highly recommend is 818 Motoring which is run by a ClubLexus member here named: AudioGil. The same thing goes with 818 Motoring about those three factors.

Here are two ClubLexus Featured Cars that have custom-intensive car audio installations in their Lexus vehicles done by 818 Motoring.

I would go w/ 818 Motoring for sure. I know him personally and I'm getting some stuff done to my car as of now. His shop number is (818) 761-1617. Give him a call see what he can do for you.

Just curious...do they (818) only do extreme type installs? I mean, if I just want to upgrade the amps, build a custom box for the sub and change out the component speakers, will they do something like that?

rOOkie & aznxguy714 :
Send me a PM of what you had in mind (equipment/install) and I will talk to Gilbert. I usually see him twice a week. Thanx

Ken
