Well with the website, you might want to break things down a little differently. Maybe have a button that says 'custom' Then maybe sub pages for kicks, boxes etc. The examples you have, you might want to put some descriptions of what they were installed in.
Then for the 'products' are you only selling speakers? If not, maybe have the 'products' button be a flyout that has options for 'amps' 'speakers' etc.
I would maybe get rid of the 'pictures' button, since you would already have the 'Custom' Button.
Also, I thought I saw somewhere where you said 'email me'. Avoid using words that make it sound like your a 'one man' shop. Make your business sound more established by saying contact us. or contact our sales department.
I have a couple more ideas, but I have to go. I'll think about it some more.
Chris.

do you have any buddies or buddies with kids that are in high school? I would try to hook someone up with a system in high school. There is a shop where I live and one kid got his system from there, so now thats pretty much where everyone else goes (besides CC and Best Buy).

Try to get interviewed by a local Radio Station, particularly a morning show.
Car Shows would be a good place to sport your custom glass work.
As far as advertising on the radio and all: Your goal is to get people into the store. To draw them in you need a scheme or something: Have a drawing/contest and give away a set of speakers/custom glass box or something along them lines.
Just a few idears

You might want to try marketing in Brookings. I know it is a little far away, but it is a college town and I bet you could do some sales there. It might involve weekend trips and posting your info at places such as the student union. I bet it would also be good networking for college kids who may be home for the summer in your area. Just a thought.
