This is way off topic, but how do you like rutgers? What are you studying.

Ask for Ron. He really knows his stuff. He is difficult to get in touch with sometimes though, and they are in the middle of moving to a new, larger location in Rahway, so he is very busy working on that. If you can't get to him, I would ask to talk to Craig. He's usually easy to get in touch with.

I'm going to be buying my audio components from different areas. Will they have a problem installing stuff that I did not purchase through them?

If you just need a simple wiring job we can do it too. If you prefer to use a stereo shop, you can go to Dynamic Produtions in Highland Park on rt27, 2 miles from Rutgers.... The owner Marco just got a black roadster and has torn apart many 350's... Let me know if I can help you in anyway. You have probably seen me around there before. BTW, my new shop is in Spotswood...

I just came from streeteffectz.

First off... the roads at the intersection by them are horrible!!! My poor car. Drive carefully!

They pricematched all of my audio components to $10 over what I would pay at the lowest price I found.

Whatever you do, don't go to Auto Image on Route 1 South, near Sony Loews. I went there to get a set of Infinity Kappa 3-ways installed (I had already purchased them); they tried to foist an overpriced MB Quart component set on me. When I insisted they install what I purchased, they were too incompetent (or lazy) to make a simple spacer to install the speaker in the door panel, which is nearly a DIY job. That place is complete garbage.

That's Streeteffectz's one problem. They do great work, but they never get back to you. You have to call them all the time to get them to give you an answer. I have been waiting to hear from them for a while now on a few items i need done with my car. They are i the middle of a move though, so that could explain why they are tough to get in touch with. They are incredibly busy getting settle in the new space.

You are correct, it is a second location, but I am not clear on exactly how their time wil be split between the two. I don't think the new place has any workshop space.

They told me it is within about 2 miles of the current location.
