Good audio shop in HI

Lost · 05-22-2009, 01:57 AM

I'm looking for a good professional audio shop in Hawaii to potentially do a full install on my Z. I have most of the equipment from my previous car already (Head unit, 2 12" Rockford Fosgates and amp, as well as a 4 channel for speakers). I can run wires and install most everything myself, though I would prefer to have it professionally done.

My biggest hurdle is the box(s) I would need to install them cleanly and without sacrificing my cargo area. Also wouldn't have the tools/hardware to add the rear speakers (have the base model) if there are no mounting brackets already there.

I have already looked at CustomBoxMan's boxes on ebay, but I would prefer something a bit lower profile and using both 12"s. Ideally between the seats and the crossbar and no higher than the cross bar, though that may not be possible.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Im also looking for someone here in Hawaii.

I have heard good things about Revision Audio

I ended up taking it to Security and Sound Systems (Security & Sound Systems) in Honolulu.

They did a fantastic job and treated my car as well as if I had done the install myself.

That would be awesome. Thanks

I didn't get a picture of it, but the bluetooth mic is mounted on the A pillar right at the corner of the windshiled. Fairly inconspicuous inside and outside. Originally I wanted it in the stock location, but they had said at the shop that Parrot recommended having no panels or anything in the way.

Also, they are cutting me a piece of black carpet with cutouts for the subs to lay on top simply so that the line down the middle where the two panels meet doesn't show I just haven't had the chance to get it yet.

Haha, not as bad as you'd think. Just brought home $300 worth of groceries the other night without any issues.

I still have use of the steering wheel controls. They do the same things as they do for the stock unit, though the volume buttons have a short delay.

Lost, What did you have before this setup? Did you have NAV?

I have the Touring Bose thing. (NO NAV)

Romanowski · 07-16-2009, 02:46 PM

By the way, It looks nice. Thanks for the help thusfar

rreign · 07-16-2009, 03:10 PM

what subs are those?

Lost · 07-16-2009, 04:21 PM

Rockford Fosgate® - P3D412 with the P3 Grills (Rockford Fosgate® - P312G)

I had the base stereo, no nav prior to this.

hmmm, did they do individual chambers and raise the floor? If so, how much did they have to raise the floor for the subs to sit?
