What part of the country are you at? I've got mine in getting done now as a Christmas gift from the family by a guy by the name of Larry Wood in Vancouver. He also does the custom dual speakers for around 200. The radio will be around 500. My next door neighbour had his done a couple months ago with the speaker but he hasn't installed it yet so I haven't heard it but Larry been around for quite awhile doing this.

If you are ever at some of the BC car shows he is quite often there. He is the fellow in the wheel chair and is usually quite visible making his way around. Everything I've heard has been positive and his turnaround is around 3 to 4 weeks. I've heard of a couple of horror stories where the place had the radio for months and it never did get done and they were worried whether they'd even get their right radio back.  To me those sound like a fair price.  Just my opinion.

My thoughts too. He claims you need really good speakers as it will really put out.

I didn't yet but I probably will do the same as what you suggested with the dual speaker in place of the single. I talked to him before I came down here to Phoenix because I thought maybe I could find something here but he told me to be careful what I bought because alot of them won't handle his system and he asked for a shot at supplying so I will probably go that route.

The final price I got was $1000 for the whole system. I thought the speakers were high but the radio price was good.

Years ago (15) I had just my 65 acadian cleaned out switch to AM / FM & MP3 JACK installed
