    Just wanted to let you Guys and Girls Know I purchased a Amplifier and 4 speakers from Mr. Marv a vendor on our site. I was going to install myself but got cold feet and had it installed locally at a stereo shop. They had the attitude when I brought the truck in with amp and speakers we have better stuff blah blah blah . After the install the installers were telling me how good the speakers are and asking where did I buy them ! They sound Great . I blast my Led Zeppelin and I have no distortion at 85 watts a channel with gain maxed out with no noise in the system . This is with the factory head unit. I bet I am the only 54 year old with such a great system even though my wife says Im nuts. Thanks Mr. Marv you sell great stuff. Mac

    I can also vouch for Marv. I purchased a custom enclosure and Hybrid Audio speakers from him. The enclosure was top notch, speakers are great, and he also provided a 1 on 1 tuning session over the phone which greatly increased the sound quality of my system. He even refunded me a discount on the speakers once a sale popped up AFTER I had purchased everything. Great service.

    because I live in this cesspool known as NYC it was 600.00 to install it . And the equipment was a little under a grand. And while the were doing the install I didn't feel robbed enough so I had them throw in a automatic start for another 300. I told them I wanted the stereo installed without a line out converter which they agreed . I threw the guy a hundred to do a good job. well the next day I started to investigate and found out they did use a line out . So I explained it to the owner as restrained as I could who refunded me the 300.00 for the auto start to make me happy. I would of rather had it wired the way I wanted it but in the end it sounds Great. Mac
