Austin Audio Install
Just purchased XCarLink for my 8 and I was wondering if anyone in the Austin, TX area knows a quality install shop, as I don't want to take it somewhere to have it poorly installed, and I don't know enough about the installation to do it myself (or at least I don't trust myself). Any help would be great

Hey Locals,
I'm from Austin and growing up here has spotlighted a few shops since I have been in the "scene". However, the top players these days now seem to be a bit douche. No heart and all money or get it done quick.
I'd really like to come out to one of the meets Canary. I did stop by the Manga meet last month but was like 30 min late from the posted meet up time. Everyone must have been inside but I had some drama going on so I basically sat in the parking lot counseling friends. By the time that was finished up my girl had dinner on the table so I took off...
As for most all of my installs, I did it my self with the help of experienced friends. Back in College I was pooow and saving money on install costs meant getting pimper ****. The trade off was logical and after my first car there wasn't anything that I couldn't figure out. As long as it didn't fly out while launching the car or start smoking I was good. It looked clean my cars never had any problems. A friend of mine did have a small smoldering/smoking situation from a pwr wire coming into contact with carpet. Funny story actually...
Fiberglass molding and the build quality that Canary has is not feasible however with out multiple things that I don't have. With in reason, trust in your self. If you ever install a capacitor to one of your amps, pay it a lot of respect.

I went to the TexasRxs meet today and we went on a drive through backroads to San Marcos, which was fun and a cool experience. I highly suggest you come as well Spencer, seeing as how there is a lack of Rx8s there these days.

From what I hear, the monthly meet is just the two main guys having dinner haha. But I'm probably going on the drive on the 25th depending on when it is (cant miss a UT game if it's home). But if you want to meet up or something sometime just to do whatever, let me know
