My little brother is having a new audio system put into his 2003/2004 5 series BMW, and I am interested in knowing who are the best people in the area for high end car audio products and installation. I drive a 3 series and have had bad experiences twice with car audio places, so I would like to be extra cautious this time around. Also, if anyone has any ideas for a nice set-up with this kind of car I would be interested to hear it. I would like to stay away from any JL, Kenwood, Infinity, etc…simple name brand products. I lean more towards PL Aliante/ Focal Utopia type products. Thanks
My father is in the car business, and was planning on using a guy his dealership uses…however, in my current car (2001 325i) he did the same thing and although i ended up with a quality system (i have whatever the top of the line jl’s were at the time, i think the speakers alone were 1200 for the set) the install job was absurd, they did not even mount the subwoofer box in the back, and then when i took it to a tweet of all places to have it cleaned up, it looked nice, but 10 mins out of the store my rear 6×9 blew, so, i would like to change up the brands a little just for fun, and want to avoid another bad job. It sounds like richmond or d.c. would be the better option.
