If only someone had a recommendation like this out here in Maryland!

(I have a real problem with some of the shops out here... The big one in Frederick, MD, closest to me, seems to be way more focused on selling window tinting. Their only car audio installer is some guy that's only in the shop about once a week -- and 90% of the equipment you want is stuff they don't stock.)

Tried a shop in Rockville, MD and other than the fact he stocks some decent JL Audio gear, I can't recommend them either. He insisted on charging me full MSRP pricing on a PAC interface that I can buy online, all day long, for over $100 less than his asking price -- and then he had to order it anyway. (If I supplied my own, he refused to warranty any of their installation work.) They did a real sloppy install on the amp I had them put in too. Didn't even fasten it down under the passenger seat so it just slid around.

The one guy I knew did mobile installs out in this general area has been in and out of the hospital with medical issues, so couldn't help me when I spoke to him.

It's just not a good scene up here for car audio ....
