Looking for good car audio store!
I'm looking to purchase the Kenwood DDX 8017 in dash dvd player. Does anyone know of a good car audio shop that carries this and will give a fair deal. Let me know!
Thanks!
Jared

Most places in town
are going to be pricey or sell Gray market stuff if they are name brand and cheap...go online, buy the item, then get someone to install it (like Leo at SuperTech)...
Gray market items are sold by the stores that are not "Authorized" dealers of the product...
Buying online is going to always provide you with the best prices...Many times, you can go on Ebay (be very careful...look at their feedback) and buy things for much less...
Good luck and be careful...

car tunes= the most professional ICE dealers in town. they have very mature and trustworthy staff.... knowing that someone won't be "scoping" your car while you have it there.... and they are not some fly by night store... they have been around for a very long time---- and their installs ROCK.

Island Sound 941-5776
You'll speak with Earl or Hank
You can tell them Aaron referred you...but I can't promise it'll save you much money
They're an authorized Kenwood dealer
Doesnt sound like you're looking for an installer, but if you are.....Earl's reputation speaks for itself, he's arguably the best here. I think he's been a 3 time Mobile Elect Mag installer of the year finalist (I believe one year runner up). We're not talking about the top 100 list people like Unique Whips brag about, this is the top 10 that are invited yearly.....these winners often are responsible for those manufacturer cars at SEMA.

Mahalo for all of the great feedback. Splitsecond found a place for me, but I will keep all the other suggestions in mind whenever I need something else.

I thought I heard about myrons brother making it last year...congrats to him! It really is a great accomplishment, especially when you consider the size of the hawaii market.
