Default Where to buy and install

I'd like to upgrade my stereo in my car but don't know where to go. I'm not looking for anything elaborate, just rear speakers, better front speakers, an MP3 headunit that will allow me to use the secondary controls. I don't want to spend a fortune and cannot intall it myself. Any tips where to go in Northern Jersey? Thanks

Andy

I know this is not the answer to your question, and I respect not wanting to tackle the job yourself. The audio install on my S2k was the first car I have ever done, and I will admit that it was a pain. I just couldn't help but notice that the day you posted this, another member posted this:

Where he basically says, he wished he would have done it himself as the shop did a crappy job.

It can be tough to let go of the control of your car (it is for me.) If you choose to have a shop do the work be sure that you trust their work. Ask for referances AND CALL THEM. Make sure the shop is familar with S2000's, not just cars, even Hondas. The S2000 is fairly unique and offers some weird challenges. You do not want to pay to educate the shop. See if you can be there while they work. You will likely learn some stuff, and be able to see what they mess up. When it's done double check to make sure all the body panels and trim pieces are re-installed properly with correct fit and ALL the neccessiary fastners.

The shop that did my alarm lost 2 of the 3 clips holding in the drivers side sill.
