Okay, i have had the unit installed.

I chose Custom Stereo & Cellular in my home town, Lewisville Texas.. just north of Dallas. Out of everyone that I talked to, these guys were a little more expensive than the others, however I believe that they were also the best qualified.

The sled is locked in the car nice and solid, no rattles or anything like that. The wiring is clean and hidden. The empeg player works like it is supposed to.

I bought a Clarion AMX 400.4 amp to power my player as well. They installed it in the trunk (boot?) against the back seat. In my car ('97 Toyota Camry) the rear seats can fold down if needed. The install of the amp is clean, and allows me to fold down the seats just fine.

I am still running with the factory speakers because I ran out of funds to buy new ones.. however they really do not sound bad at all once I adjusted the equalizer on the empeg player. I may not buy new ones after all, or at least for a long while.

My amp cost $350us, the install of the amp ran $100us and the install for the empeg was $50us. The price of the amp was a little costly, I could have ordered it online for cheaper I am sure. But it's a good quality amp, one that I will take with me when I get rid of the car.

I recommend these guys, they are very knowledgable and do good quality work even if you do have to pay top dollar. And now they are familiar with the product.
