In Reply to: Car Toys speaker upgrade on X5? posted by Skip on April 22, 2001 at 11:16:19:
We just had a 2 screen DVD system put in by Car Toys in Park Meadows. The installation looks REALLY good much better than the factory stuff.
Seems to work well, but we have only had it 2 days now. The only glitch was they scratched (very small) one of the letter seats, they looked at it apologised and scheduled a leather service to fix it at thier expense without any pushback
I have to admit these guys had Ferrari's Bentleys and Porches all over the place. They were also recommended by our BMW dealer
One note though, I DONT think all of these are the same, Park Meadows customers have lots of high dollar cars and the installers have more experience with these things. I would make an effort to go to this store over the others
Has anyone had their X5 speakers upgraded at Car Toys? This is a chain, possibly regional but I'm not sure. They have a few locations in the Denver/Boulder/etc. area. I asked about speakers and they said that they've installed MB Quarts in other X5s, even going so far as to show me the stock speakers, etc. from a recent installation. I can tell you that the stock speakers look like low quality parts, and it's no wonder they don't sound so great.
Anyway, I'm considering taking the plunge and wanted to know if anyone had good or bad experiences with these guys. They brought up the complex door assemblies and noted that it takes a few hours to do the installation as a result. I took this as being a good sign, and they also made me feel better by guaranteeing no cutting and retaining the stok appearance.
Regarding the MB Quarts, what's a good price for replacing all of the speakers, including installation?
Thanks,
Skip
