Good Audio Shops in NoVa?

BK-Diesel · 04-04-2012, 07:11 PM

I recently purchased a 2011 335d Sedan and was wondering if anyone has experience with any aftermarket shops in Northern Virginia. Id rather go to a place where someone can verify that they worked on their e9x than a place that just 'claims' to be familiar with them.

I'm also curious about the audio option on the car. I has the tweeters in the front doors and a smalll power amp under a plastic cover in the left rear trunk, but I cant see any tweeters under the rear deck grill and i didnt immediately see the woofers under the seat.

The build date is 7/11 if that matters.

thanks for any input.

^^I'm assumin it is in fact the HiFi audio option, but the window sticker doesn't indicate "option 676", only AM/FM/MP3/HD Radio, blah blah

Do you just need to verify what stereo you have?
Or are you going to upgrade?

You have hifi. Sticker wont say.

Why not diy?

I'm going to upgrade. I hear 'holes' in the frequency range of the OEM speakers (especially the mid bass that everyone comments on) and would look for something more revealing, rich, and detailed. Don't want Earth shatterig bass.

I'm technically minded and enjoy DIY projects, but my wife immediately protested when I told her I was upgrading! -What she doesn't know doesn't hurt...
