MF2K

Ron is old school and knows what sounds good.

He mainly does top end Lambo and Ferrari stuff and is very much the perfectionist

+1 for MF2K - Ron worked wonders on my set up. He knows his stuff and most importantly does a good job.

Thanks for the suggestions.

MF2K looks they might be a bit too 'premium' for what I'm after though as not after a big install.

Try V-tech in Cumbernauld. They will pretty much do any type of "build" that you wish.

Another vote for Ron. His quality of work is 'premium' his prices are very reasonable. He operates out of a small workshop so his overheads will not be high.

We've used MF2K and also recommend. There is also Empirical in East Kilbride (he is mobile) and has done a few things for us too which we've been happy with.

Hi Mikey, I've used Audio Advice in Hillington.

They do everything from simple head unit changes to mobile disco thingys.

When I picked up my scooby the speakers were knackered and split.

I went for a fairly discrete system (well apart from the amp in the boot) consisting of:

JL Audio 4 channel amp
JL Audio co-axial speakers front and rear (amplified via above amp)
Dynamat sound damping for front doors
Dynaliner damping for front door plastics
4 gauge power kit
Stinger speaker cabling
RCA leads x2

Labour to install (5 hours)

I also replaced the head unit with:

http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?q=126-bt&...

As it has built in bluetooth hands free and inputs for usb ipod etc.


Who ever you take it to make sure they use dynamat and dynaliner (or an equivalent brand) of sound deadening in the doors and rear shelf.
The subaru is very tinny and can give a lot of distortion due to vibrations within door panels etc.

If you want to have a nosey around mine feel free to give me a shout.

a quick link to their website is:

Hope this helps
Andy

Thanks Andy, will give them a shout.

The stereo in the Impreza is pretty rubbish - was thinking of just a replacement head unit but prob worth doing the speakers too.

If you don't mind me asking, roughly how much did that cost? PM me if you prefer.

Cheers,
Mike.
