Re: [IRCA] TP audio this AM / Blaupundt Casablanca

Best Buy sounds like a good place for installs. I had one installed about 10 years ago at a local audio shop that had a great reputation, and they cut a big hole in the HVAC duct to make it fit.

What you say about the Bremen and arrays makes me drool, BUT I recently bought a Casablanca because of (1) affordability; (2) all the good press, and (3) because it IS a Digiciever.  Its definitely DSP, and I picked it up for less than $200.  Someone mentioned installation costs in a earlier message.  Best Buy installed mine (I did not buy it there).  They charged $50 AND I have it in writing that they will reinstall the original one free if I ever decide to sell the car.
