Audio shop near Tacoma?
I have an aftermarket Kenwood DVD player in my 94 FD. It is completely screwed up and I don't really know how in the heck to go about finding the problem. The sub-woofer doesn't really work, and it sounds as if the right speaker is blown. I'm pretty sure it was installed incorrectly by a prior owner and I'm looking for someone who can figure it out for me.
Folks here gave me good recommendations on Jerry's Little Car Shop. Any similar recommendations on a shop to do some audio work on my FD?

-7,890,436,375,927 for Car toys!!! Shotty workmanship and low knowledge employees..... I say my soon to be neighbor who left CarToys for that very reason... They run a terrible car audio department. Not to mention I don't believe they are a Kenwood dealer... Although I'm about an 75 minutes north of University place, this guy is a genius and should be able to troubleshoot no problem, not to mention you won't have to pay him and arm and a leg! Maybe just get him a bottle of liquor or someting lol I'll see if I can get some contact info for him and if he's willing to do it... To give you an idea of his capability, he designs and manufactures electrical parts for older Z cars (usually his first then makes more if there is interst, and there always is) and does a very good job. half the electrical stuff on his Z was made b himself...

-1 for cartoys.. Way overpriced and not always top notch work or follow up service. I worked there for years. Check out Tee'z Extreme Motorsports. I also worked there and one of the better Cartoys installers currently runs the place and does all installs and custom work. Great price and flawless install's. Give em a call and ask for Damian (253) 582-9215. Once you talk to him you'll know he has tons of knowledge in the car audio department. AND NEVER GO TO THE B&I, I DONT KNOW WHAT THE GUY ABOVE ME IS THINKING. YOU HAVE A FD NOT A PINTO.

So I was able to talk to him today... He's not really familiar with Kenwood cuz it wasnt a product they carried while he was there, but one thing he said to try is to hold the reset button on the front for about 5 seconds or so. See if that solves any problems... Hopefully Damien can help you out a little more...
