Around 8 years ago (2001-02), can't remember, he looks like europe people, maybe italian, not tall but strong.

Doesn't matter, just want to share my experience.

But I still remember on their display, there was nothing like component system. they have clarion, alpine, soem kind of pioneer or kenwood, but they all coaxial and 6x9 speakers. Also dynaudio comes from home audio, maybe they thought I took the speakers from home to car use.

yah i had the misfortune of going to that place once - wanted an alpine head unit.


they kept giving me excuses as to why it wasnt in stock for the next 4 days - supplier/courier/God Himself etc


I rang the Head Office and spoke with Gary himself. He stated that they had some 'credit issues' with the supplier. Whatever. Im guessing he hadnt paid his bill.


They offered me the demo unit on display for $20 less. As if.


Finally the installation happens - the installer left 2 small dents in my dashboard when he removed the factory stereo - funny how they hand the car over in their dingy workshop and not in the daylight.


My car comes with factory 11 speakers - tweeters/midrange and a sub.


Some weeks after the instal I noted that the balance works fine but the fader is completely not connected. What a dodgy example of workmanship. What a dodgy organisation. There is a reason that scummy company closed down/shrunk like a nutsack in cold water.
