Default Stereo installation in the GTA

Hey

Does anybody here know a good place to install a decently priced deck on a 99 porsche 911 carrerra? I was thinking of taking it to bestbuy but a friend advised against this so I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive place that knows what they're doing.

I would recommend KHF (khf.ca). They've got decent prices on car audio equipment, and i've seen them do a 996 install which was very clean.

+1 on KHF (aka Kensai Racing)
they have installed all sorts of electronics on both my new street cars.
fair prices, super clean, great service, great attitude, etc.

Taking your car to Best Buy for audio, is like taking it to Crappy Tire for mechanical. You'll regret it. I hear good things about Kromer, but I have not used them on my p-car.

No affiliation, only bought gear for self installation and have never used them for installation, but they seem to know what they are doing: http://www.number1sound.com/

I'd avoid best buy too. Though not all are bad. Might not be the same anymore, but several years back the install shops around back were all separately owned. A friend of mine ran one for years, and did excellent work. He did a really nice install on my dad's 77 Alfa Spyder. But I suspect he was the exception, not the rule.

Go to their website http://www.kromerradio.com/ and you will see the yellow splash screen saying it's a "Retirement Sale".
