Where is a good place to get a stereo installed. It's just an mp3 or hardrive based head unit. Not a big deal. I just don't want a place that does shoddy half-assed work. Don't want any interior damage or nuts and bolts left out.

Any tips on where to actually purchase said headunit? Online sources, etc.?

 

i did my audio stuff for my other car at this one place in san leandro called car audio depot. they did a pretty good job. but that might be kinda far for you since your in SF

 

I say Audiomobile in Oakland. Talk to my buddy Alan there.

 

audiomobile talk to my buddy bao.

 

There are to places in the bar area that are fantastic for high end ultra high quality work both of them are in marin. One place is call MASA (marin auto stereo and alarm) and the other being one of the best places in the country to get your car worked on for stereos would be Rolling Thunder. You will not have a problem at either one of those places for sure

 

sorry to go offtopic but did bao sell his car for a legacy wagon?

another vote for audiomobile. they kno how their way around subarus

 

Thanks for the input. I forgot to mention that it's on a friends car. Unfortunately not a Subaru. Audiomobile sounds like the winner so far. Any others?

 

Custom Car Alarm in SF or Pleasant Hill

 

I have heard good things about that place.

 

audiomobile gets another thumbs up, they have one down here in cambell as well. They are one of the few shops that really knows their craft, glassing, leather work, you name it.

 

It shouldn't be too hard to do if you know how to pull off the bezel. Let me know if you'd be interested in me helping you out on the install. I did my own stereo system in my car (including amping of all door speakers, which I'm quite proud of since it was such a PITA) . As for shop recommendations... I don't have one .
