Car Audio Installer- Chicago

Hey Guys,
Can someone please recomend a good place in Chicago to remove/install car radio/alarm?

I have alot of extra crap in my 80' sc from the previous owner (alarm, aftermarket radio, 2 amps) thats a wiring mess. I would like to remove all that and install an original cassette radio.

Looking for a place that somewhat knows these cars


If there is a pelican in Chicago that knows this stuff and wants to make some extra cash, that could work also

Lada--Please dont take this the wrong way, I live in Hammond In on the line with chgo. and there is a shop on just about every corner. I found one on Indianapolis Blvd and US 41 that does a great job. I have a 81 and it had a rats nest. Just look for some 17 year old kid believe me they know what they are doing.

Yeah, maybe your right

Just nervous about all the wiring. I took my car to a porsche mechanic to check a random non start issues, he poked around the wires under the dash and the radio stopped working (antenna doesnt go up)

I dont want to take it somewhere where they installed the radio but did something with the wiring that created a problem somewhere else

I had a good experience at Showtime Audio. Did the job right and made good on their promises. They didn't go crazy over seeing a Porsche, which to me was a good sign, but they still took pride in doing a professional job. Had them replace head unit, clean out wires from factory and aftermarket alarm, and add aftermarket alarm #2.

I found them through their high rating on yelp.
