Sad to say when I said my budget for speakers is RM2K, Howie didn't reply me anymore in PM. I guess it all boils down to $$$. 

Ok call me when the lock arrive
Btw u got sell those tweeter stand ?
The sound is great and all but can't stand
Looking at the tweeter it look ugly

I have the same idea as u guys. Budget 2K for spks first (maybe with cables). Then upgrade HU etc step by side. I had bad experience at an ICE shop in Spore when the guy made a rude remark after the demo when I didn't buy anything on the spot. I guess it's the same here. No money no talk.

I think the next time an installer ask me what's my budget, I should say 20K then maybe get better service. 

Howie, how come active sub need it's own enclosure one??

Acks... now thats a nice looking stand... How much is it? Aiya... why you didnt recommend me that when I was ICING my car at ur place la... now have to redo again hehehe...

No offence, dude, but I dun buy that at all. If an ICE installer wanna size me up and decide whether to serve me or not based on the size of my wallet, then I would say the approach is wrong to start with. I think it's a common thing for a customer to walk into a shop and say he has 2K budget, but when shown a lot of professionalism, honest opinions and options, he may walk away spending 4K and being satisfied, too. And it happened just like that for my last car. Just my 2 sen.

PS: BTW I did PMed u 2x. My opinion is that if u have time to post here and do so much sales talk, surely u have time to check yr PMs, too. Another installer has PMed me btw, and guess who I will be visiting soon? 

If u r not ICE lover then why come in here just to lick his behind??? 

If if they r "so darn busy" why should I bother to visit???

i think u talk too much. u shud jus go pay EA autoworks a visit or call. they r darn bz. sometimes howie do left some of d thing i wanna ask. so i ask again n again. if u noe EA autoworks, u'll noe he is d 1 most hardworkin replyin PMs n post in forum.. d other 2 guy vry less n d reply r rather short..lol

if u go EA Autoworks, u'll see hows good this kanasai fellow is; got ICE/security award but m not sure wat competition or exhibition issit as m not ICE lover..

lol no complain the thread sure slow 

anyway as promise


btw howie UGPM

like that then have to park my car inside lo
if not they saw ur sticker sure think my ice worth a lot   

i've always doubted acc shops/reg. workshops when they kept saying cannot be fix, and need to change whole bumper.

i kept explaining to them that i am not looking for perfection, just a temporary, or rather a quick patch up, something that simply works - keeping my front bumper firm instead of just dangling there held up by mere wires (another quick patch by the parking lot uncle, he did it for free, i am not complaining about his work, as its either that, or a new bumper )

and when i brought it up to howie, he simply drilled 2 holes and screwed my bumper back to the car body. JUST THAT SIMPLE. (though i guess that verifies the rumors going on that he has certain fondness into drilling holes/cutting up peoples' cars  )

at the end of the day i think its just a matter of wanting to do the job or not. howie did it for me and that made me a happy man.

and best of all, that isnt even the main problem i went to look for him. my car's horn went dead, and need a replacement. even more awesome is that hes open on sundays. and i do have a busy schedule so thats a big plus too.

all in all, thumbs up to howie 

ps: mywifecar is joining another EMMA 
should've leave some scratches when i was there 

y this thread no update 1 ????
want to see more epic ice install by bro howie 

Completed a ICE setup at EA Autoworks. Thanks to the team there and will be holding back for a while until my wallet recuperate from it.
