Looking for Installer in NOVA

I'm looking for recommendations on an installer in the DC area who has experience working on the new Lancers.

I'm installing an F90BT in place of the Fosgate HU with aftermarket amps but stock speakers (for now)

Thanks, I noticed that yesterday when I was freeway driving and had to put the vol at max (45). What's the point of having a 650-watt system if they're gonna put super-low efficiency speakers on it?

I want to see how it sounds with the stock speakers. Why waste money on aftermarket speakers without seeing how the fosgate ones sound with a good source first?

On my Audi S6 I swapped the factory HU for a high-end one, and the difference was night and day. Even though I was originally planning to get aftermarket speakers, I never did because it sounded so good as-is. And those were generic speakers too, not Bose or Fosgate or anything special!
