Default Anyone recommend good fitters in Derby/Nottingham area?

Hi,

Looking to get a new Double Din and speakers put in my 05 WRX to replace the OEM stuff. I will not be doing this myself, so need someone reliable to fit whatever I buy.

Also, no doubt it would be cheaper to source off the net and then get fitted, so could anyone tell me exactly what I would need if I went that route?

Not looking to spend more than a few hundred on head unit and front speakers.

I have these nearby, but no idea about reputation:

cheers for any help/suggestions.

You have mail!

I'd recommend the Car Audio Centre in Sherwood. Sorted me for less than anyone else could...
