Need recommendation for Car Audio installation

[Rocky88]

hi,

 

I am looking for a reliable car audion installation center, where I can swap my car audio unit with my friend's audio unit (as he is selling his car away). Can someone help me to recommend any shop who can provide the realiable installation service and what is the price they are charging?

 

THanks..

If it's juz swapping head units, u can go to J K Audio at CCK. It is a small shop behind keat hong. Abt 20-40 I think...depending on what car u driving.

AUTOTREND at Toa payoh or Autoimage at SIN MING. Cheap cheap nia 20bucks will do.

Yep, go to Autotrend at Toa Payoh. I changed my HU there for $20 only.

Hi

 

I heard that if you install an eclipse headset, you can make use of the controls on the steering wheel. This is because Toyota has a stake in Eclipse.

 

I am also wondering where to get this as I would also like to change my stock heedset.

 

Anybody know where to go?

 

Thanks

but may be u pay a high price for the headset,bro!!

I know that autotrend (aka sin kit) at toa payoh carries Eclipse.

look for Darren

 

hope helps.

there, alot of ppl... last week go there, they are doing 3 car... no one come and serve me... maybe later in this afternoon, go again...

[Biccat]

It is very difficult for him to serve walk in customers right now since he is the main installer for Ric...g Motors. Got to make an appointment with him first.

[Khee]

i juz want to install a pair of speaker... nothing else... not very good to book with him for juz a small job...

[Biccat]

No job is too small for him. I also go to him for a $10 or $20 job. He is also running around and may not be in the shop all the time. Since he is the one who allocates the job to his kah gia, they can't help you if they are already half way through their jobs unless he says so. If you want to drop by, just make sure he is around first.

[Khee]

what is his contact?

[Slidingturtle]

You refering to sin kit (autotrend)? that's 6253-3333.

 

Sorry didn't see earlier post till now, and like bro biccat mentioned, making an appointment is probably the best route, or at least call ahead, this is really so that he can also allocate his and his workers' time to ensure that you would be able to get the attention you need.

 

cheers,

Hi ICE Gurus,

 

 

What do you think- Darren of Autotrends proposed this:

 

Speakers : Rainbow CRX 265 - 61/2 inches : $ 380

Amp : SoundStream Lili Wonder - $ 380

Back Speakers: Helix Esprit 51/4 - $180

Subwoofer : Pioneer TSX 11A - $ 300

Sound Proofing (2 doors, DynaMat) - $440

Cabling - $180

Installation of HU/Ipod - $40

=====> 1900

 

Alarm:

Viper 350 - $ 300

 

a) He mentioned that if you want to get a balance of the front and back i.e "staging mode", you need to get a decent back speakers...

 

b) I did a blind test at his shop and the rainbow stood out..

 

 

Comments on package ?

 

PS : I will be driving a Toyota Sienta... I need the boot space....

 

 

Thanks all,

 

neotan

befor I forget:

 

a) SoundStream Lili Wonder - 4 channel amp

Thanks,
