That's cool, I'll give you that. The main reasons I went with these guys were:

1) They seemed to be the only ones open when I was calling from work. Do these guys open at noon or what?

2) They gave me the most reasonalble price.

3) The guy I talked to was incredibly helpful. I told him what I needed and the kind of car I drove (not many people put systems in their minivans - the sub placement can be tricky). He even suggested that I drop by the store sometime and he'd come out and look over the vehicle...which I did...and he did...for about 15 minutes! He made several helpful suggestions, most of which we went with.

4) another large factor was that he had installed a Mk 1. At the time, this was rare. I am willing to bet that no installer in the Nothern Virginia area has installed a Mk 1 other than this guy. At least that's how it appears on the registry.
He wasn't completely familiar with how it all worked, but he knew how to install it, and he was very impressed with the product (something you might not get from some installers, as we've discussed before).

I am exceedingly happy with my installation. They stuck an amp under the driver's seat and built me a sub box to replace the center console. It was very good. Check it out in the install forum.

So I agree. Do your research. Just because there's a CC,BB, or GG nearby doesn't mean it's the best option. I ended up driving about 30 minutes to get to mine. It was worth it.
