decent car audio place in Sac recommendations?

Went to the arden area to check out a few shops, but none of them had enough of a selection for me to really compare. I'm looking to put together a system for around $4-500, nothing fancy, just something to help w/ the commute. I was thinking about an Alpine head unit powering some 6.5 infinitys coaxs or something similar. Was considering a component setup but I'm not sure if the 18WX4 RMS HU can handle it. BTW, how come the shop prices vs. ebay prices(fronts for audio places) differ so much ($499 vs $275 for 9831 HU)

I had them install an alarm for me with my integra, they drilled some holes (that I DIDN'T want, they didn't even ask) they left wire hanging, they did give me some power door locks, but those stopped working after a while. They unhooked some other stuff that they forgot to rehook.... bad experience, never going back. Oh, and they overprice their stuff to make up for the $1 install....

haha. Kind of thought about that. What do you expect for a one-dollar install.

I just don't trust anybody with stuff like that. If someone is gonna screw it up I'd rather it be me.
