Default car audio shops in the south bay

I'm trying to price match with good guys. So anyone know any real cheap shops around the south bay? Or "helpful" places =].

Cheap may not be a good idea.... What are you installing? What are you trying to achieve with your sound system?

check out Dynamic Audio in San Jose. Professional and cool crews. They will beat any price for you. Tell them Alex with the Blue Z send you and they will take good care for you.

Thanks Bubble I'll check em out.

I'm not trying to achieve much with sound. I just want a navigation system. I thought about an AVN2454 which is 1500 at good guys (the 5435 is 1800) but if I can get a avic-d1 for 1200 or so that would be worth losing the DVD playback because I don't think I'll be using it often.

Oh and I'll probably install some 2 way DLS iridium after I get this navvy system.

Ask for Tuan. Tell him Dave with 350z sent you. They do an awesome job and should be able to take care of you.
If you don't mind going up to Oakland, check out Audiomobile. (510) 839-1992. Ask for Alan. Many member here had their audio setup done there. You can tell him I sent you too!! Alan is also on this board and has a sweet chrome silver 350Z!!

Hey there,

Can you keep me in the loop what you find? I'm looking for the same setup (d1) and also need an installer in the area. If you can share your source for best price that would be great. I potentially want to do in two cars, so maybe Dynamic Audio would do a deal?

Thanks!

hey zrdude, the site i purchased the D1 from was JJI electronics, they sounded pretty friendly and professional over the phone and shipped it free. It should have arrived at the office this morning can't wait to check it out

I did give dynamic audio and those other places a call but I'm doing this install myself so there really isn't a reason for me to pay near msrp and take it home.

As far as pricing goes, ... I'm almost positive most retail stores, including big ones like good guys, are listing the D1 for 1600 because its such a new unit. Most of them probably price match also. I would just go with the one that has the best rep. for installations and future customer service.
