<![CDATA[Custom Stereo Installs]]>I am getting back into doing custom stereo installs for anyone who is interested (and willing to pay the price.) Mostly I am trying to stay away from basic installs and just doing the more crazy stuff (Fiberglass, Motorization, Plexi, Custom Enclosures, etc...) Also, I (generally) do not sell any product, it would be up to you to provide the product for the installs (In other words buy it, then bring it to me for installation). I do have some DVD/LCD combos that I have wholesale access to (Including HDTV capable monitors).

A little background on me. I started installing stereos for myself and my friends back in 1989. Upon completing HS I attended Mobile Dynamics in Toronto (actually Richmond Hill, Ont, Canada) to learn some of the more advanced techniques. In 1994 I worked briefly for Northwest Audio before heading to Williston to work for Stereo West as their install manager. Eventually I realized that the owner of Stereo West and myself did not see eye-to-eye so I moved to Minot and worked for Roadsounds from 1995 to 1996. Then as (bad) luck would have it, I met my first wife and moved to the Rugby area to be with her. While in Rugby I ran a business called Trafik Jamz (hence my login name of tjamz) and concentrated primarily on Remote Starters and Alarms, though I still was actively installing systems in my vehicles and those of my friends. I eventually got divorced from my first wife and moved to Devils Lake where I met my current wife. I had decided that remote starts and alarms where a bit hard on my back so I quit doing them, except for close friends/family. I had all but forgotten about audio systems until my brother-in-law approached me about building a system in his vehicle. He wanted something a little different than most people in town have, a full custom trunk, a custom dash bezel, etc. Well, that alone sparked my interest again in car audio. Next thing I know we go to Devils Run and manage to qualify for USACI world finals. I am re-hooked again on car audio and decided it would be a great way to make some extra cash.

So if you guys need any custom installs done, don't hesitate to shoot me a PM or email. We will discuss pricing after I have seen the vehicle and bounced some ideas off of you.

Sorry this got to be such a long post, I was trying to give you all a little background on my car audio experiences, hoping that you would realize I am not some hack-job rookie trying to scam people out of their hard earned $$$$

Yeah, I am in the process now of doing a setup in my brother in laws Blazer, fairly simple, straight forward deal, but consists of a 3 way front stage, 2 way rear fills, and (eventually) some VERY custom enclosures for his subs (pics will be available as we progress on that).

As for the business cards/fliers/etc, I am going to just use word of mouth for now and then as need be will make some cards myself (rather my wife will, shes better at it than me)

Yeah, I'm definately interested. Doesn't sound like it will be just too hard to do either. Just so everyone knows, I know my limits, I am definately NOT on the same level as Dave "Fishman" Rivera (not many people are), so don't expect that level out of me. I will keep it clean and try and be somewhat inventive in my installs. Let me know exactly what your buddy wants in there, and I will be upfront in telling you if I can/cannot do this for him.
