Default Looking for car stereo installer

I'm looking for a stereo installer around Tysons or Rockville (preferably but not necessarily) that can install a bunch of JL Audio components into my wife's BMW E46.

I had the components (a 300/4, 500/1, Cleansweep) installed in my previous E46, but pulled them out myself when I sold that car. I could theoretically install it myself into my wife's car, but I can never get to it.

The only interior work involves running a few cables up the center console to the shifter.

It's a pretty easy job for someone who knows what he is doing.

Anyone have a recommendation?
Thanks!

If on the Tysons side I would use Hurley's.. just up the ramp from Intersprt as stated.

DSI is well worth the extra miles just to see the smiles when they are done! Great after install service too!

Default install

I had Hurley's install a satellite radio in my Carrera. The owner is a gruff old guy who seems inconsiderate and brusque. But the installation was first class, the price was reasonable and I haven't had a problem since the install, about a year ago. The youunger guys do the work and they seem to be pretty good.

I'm surprised by all the positive experiences with Hurley's. They butchered the interior of my G500. They broke many mounting tabs and tried to repair them with dum-dum and/or double-sided tape. Wires were run without regard to making lumps in the carpet. I was left with nothing better than a Best Buy installation at twice the price.
