My Blue RX-8 is expected this month, and I want to upgrade my base sound system. Crystal Sonics in Glendale seems to be closed, so where can I get decent work to install my Kicker sub with box, Sony amp from my old car, and upgraded speakers?

If you are in the L.A. area, I recommend Speakerworks in Orange County. They've been in business since 1976 and at one time held the record for the most number of national wins in competition. Go talk to Eric Holdaway or Henry.

speaker works is good

I took mine to Advanced Car creations in Garden Grove

Crystal Sonics in Glendale? I seem to remember that place 11 years ago in 1992. Is that the same place?

I also remember Speakerworks and the Holdaways, who sold their famous Buick Grand National to Richard Clark, who was educated at MIT, designed his own electronics with specs higher than anything else available, and made that car even more famous.

Wouldn't the Holdaways charge more for even the simplest installations?
