Well, I've got a different car and a lot of new equipment. Now the problem is I work a 10 and 4 shift and don't have the time to do the install myself, when I come home I just want to spend my time with my wife and my six year old boy. I've got:

Head Unit - JVC KD-G820
Amplifiers - Kicker SX600.2, Kicker SX1250.1, Kicker SXRC
Speakers - Alpine SPX-177R Type-X Components
I have two subs in a box already that I'll be using until I can afford to upgrade them.

Is there anyone you guys can recommend? What are your experiences with Visions in saskatoon? The reason I'm thinking of them is that I had bought my type-x's from them and they sell the kicker sx line of amps, so I think they should have an idea of how to do it without messing it up.

I'm not looking for a fancy install at all, just neat and clean.

hey there, my step dad actully spent 8 grand on a stereo threw them , and they still havent finished some of the things.Visions is horrible.
Future shop sucks althoug cam pelerin was one of the best installers in teh city at the time.
but if you have to take it to a place to get it all done audio expressions
but dont expect it to be cheap

Check out 306motorclub.com and ask Sean @ Visions. I've seen some very nice installs come out of their bay.

not a big fan of vision's either and ya future shop also sucks, i havent gone to audio expressions because they are usualy booked up and i wanted my shit installed soon but i here they are good

With the shortage of installers out there these days (dam oil rigs!) any installer or shop will be booked a week or two in advance - as is any other trade out there that has good people (IE look at getting a house built these days around here). My advice, don't try to get it rushed, cause no matter who does it, it won't be 100%. See Auto Expressions, Visions - Blair, Audio Express - Tristan, AW/PA - Marlin... Not sure who PA Soundworks has these days intalling..

I'm sure someone may accuse me of being biased as I am a rep.. but hey, I'm gonna try to sell to good guys.. Note I'm not selling anything to Visions, AE or PA soundworks right now that is 12V - BUT I should be !!! So there is some proof.

Good luck

I like how people complain about installers and certain stores on here but don't have the balls to come to someones face and tell them how they feal.

And I agree that after someone has been installing as long as some of us and some one has to come on here and talk trash about shops when they have no clue.

I will say it too. I dont think I suck and people should really watch what they say

as a 100% consumer, I recommend Audio Express, some very knowledgable people work there. I know that Tristan does do good work, even when Blaine pisses him off by booking too much in. And I do believe that they can do it after hours if booked. I would say call them, and ask for Blaine. or message him on here, I believe his user name is blainekorte.

good call on using tristin he is very good and blaire is the man is saskatoon!!!
