Default Chicagoland sound/audio system installer shops

Here's the deal:

I have a 2006 Scion tC. I am at school until early May. When I get home I'd like to have a badass sound system installed. I want a lot of awesome bass and just a sick setup inside my tC, with the perfect subs, amps, etc.

However, while I know a good bit about sound systems, I don't know much about installing them. I might be able to do a somewhat half-___ job, but this is exactly what I DON'T want.

Therefore, I am wondering if you guys know of any really good shops in the Chicagoland (preferrably Southwest suburbs, but this is not completely necessary) that can do an amazing job installing a sound system. I am sure many of you Chicagoland Scion owners have had sound systems professionally installed, so what advice can you give me regarding this matter?

Any opinions/advice/suggestions are welcome. Thanks a lot guys!

they sell and install.
ive bought alot of stuff there and rays a great guy, the more you buy, the more you save basically.
hes always giving away free stuff or cutting prices.

ive never had any work done there, because i can do it all myself for free. but ive seen it, and its good work.

go there and ask to see his wifes car. (if i remember correctly, its an Acura) they did a real nice clean setup in the trunk,.

For those of you that have bought and/or had sound equipment installed at Rays, if you wouldn't mind describing your purchase (and whether or not you had anything installed) and how much he charged you, that would be great. I'm trying to get an idea of how much I'll have to drop this summer to get my sound system installed.

Thanks,

Kevin
