Custom Sounds??

Post by louisianamild »

Made up my mind, with Glasswolf's help, to get two 13w7's powered by 1000/1's in ported box. :cheers:

jl audio lists custom sounds as their authorized dealer here in st. louis. i see they also got shops in texas. anybody have any experience with them? are they one of those places that just opens up 30 shops and then just hires kids off the street to do the installs?

i'm especially interested since i want the box built right according to specs and i was also wondering if they could put in an ho alt.

humm "custom sounds" sounds strangely familiar. If there is a shop in long island i have heard good things in regards to the look of the install. I haven’t heard as many good things of their quality ... but one thing is for sure… they LOVE JL and Alpine there. idk if this is the same place, but if it is they don’t have any kids in there.

if they are an authorized dealer I’m sure they are good or else JL would list them as an “authorized dealer” because then they have to reward your warrantee? Or something along those lines.

Our closest Custom Sounds carries MB Quart Discus, low level Alpine, Bostwick, Kenwoods lower line stuff, Sony, and some other crappy brands. No JL.

Funny thing is I've seen a lot of people that got systems from them and every install I've seen has been outstanding, though :confused

Tweeter stores all carry JL, and all of them I've seen do excellent install work.

But yeah, you aren't going to see many crappy retailers that carry/install JL. They wouldn't want to go through all the dealer training and yada yada. JL is pretty picky about who carries them.

I hear Custom Sounds on the St.louis radio stations all the time, never seen any of there installs though.. But if you're ever in the Union, Missouri avoid AVP at all cost, seriously HORRIBLE! :unwell028

That’s what I was gonna say, you wont find a bad instal job from someone who carries jl products. dont forget to upgrade that electrical system too!
