Hey B_T, there is a auto audio facility/store/shop here in my building at Enterprise Hub on Toh Guan Road East. I think it's called Audio Edge or some such. There are always ripping out the guts of car door panels, seats, dashboards and boots and stuffing huge speakers, amps and changers/decks all the time. No idea of the quality or prices but I reckon not cheap.

Just had a quick google and they also have a website:

http://www.audioedge.com.sg/

There goes another set of eardrums! :lol:

SLS & SLT out of the equation . I am looking for a reseller or direct outlet something like BEST/Harvey Norman or Audio House.

You can try Autobacs but they aren't the cheapest by a long. Some of the specialist installers are way cheaper and that includes installation chargers.

These are mostly resellers unless you meant something like one stop shop.

Good but expensive, for example there Sony XAV-W1 they were selling for $1.2k, I got at a workshop for $900 including installation.

Here are a couple of links to workshops that I know of and would recommend.

Dimension have a very good reputation for specialised set ups

http://www.dimensionaudio.com.sg/index.asp

SMT I've used before and can recommend

http://smttrading.sg.88db.com/default.htm

One thing to be aware of when visiting workshops or as KSL suggested, Heartland shops is that you wont see any items marked with prices. They will have 2 sets of prices, the "local" price and the "other" price.

I am actually looking for prices on the following models .

Clarion : VX709A or VZ709A
Alpine : IVA-W502E

Pioneer :- AVH-P4250DVD -1200 / AVH-P5250DVD /AVH-P3250DVD
